Guilty or not guilty?
“We the jury… Find… Guilty…”
Jennifer propped her hands on the desk, catching herself before she tumbled to the ground. Her knees were weak, body slumping as the words permeated her mind. She recognized joyful shouts surrounding her as the foreperson revealed their decision on each and every count.
Guilty, guilty, guilty…
Years. He would be going away for years, and this was the first step in tearing down the family. Nash had revealed quite a bit from the lion side of the operation, and now the human half was tumbling.
A large warm hand pressed between her shoulder blades and stroked down her spine. The touch sent an immediate wave of strength and comfort through her. He’d been there, at her back and protecting her, every step of the way. Even when she lay alone, wondering where he was, his presence was with her in silent support. He didn’t have to like what she did, she knew he didn’t, but he’d been there for her anyway.
She didn’t listen to the rest, ignored the crying and laughing that surrounded her, ignored the continuous pounding of the judge’s gavel, and merely turned toward her mate. She went into his arms, taking every ounce of strength he offered and simply rested her head against his shoulder.
“It’s over,” she sobbed. She’d done it, she’d put him away. “It’s over.”
“No, baby, it’s just beginning.” She lifted her head and stared into his eyes, noting the joy that filled his features. “This trial is over, but our lives are just beginning.”
She could handle that. Because he was right, her life as a prosecutor was over. But now her job was even more important. Now she had her own practice and a new direction. Human issues were important—that was unquestionable—but so were those of the werelions. Her mate was the beta of the North American prides. He didn’t protect a single small town like the one she’d called home. He fought to protect them all.
And now, so would she.
