Chapter 243: The Court Trial

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Joanna heard our footsteps and slowly lifted her head.

I admired her bloodied and dusty face. She looked like she had been locked up here directly after I flung her to the ground and beat her up that day.

There was no treatment or medication; her hair was stuck to her forehead with blood, her eyes were deeply sunken, and the wound on her chest looked scabbed over but not well recovered.

I observed coldly that the shackles locking her up should have been mixed with wolf poison to inhibit her recovery rate.

Joanna’s eyes flashed with surprise, then with etched hatred.

“How dare you come here, you b*tch...” Joanna’s words ended abruptly as Michael appeared from behind me.

I could see that she had changed her face to a charming and pitiful look. I snickered in my heart. At this point, she thought her trick was still effective, but it was good. I let Michael himself break her last illusion.

I stepped to the side so that Michael and I stood side by side.

Joanna slowly stood up from the floor, shackles rattling, and she even reached up and ruffled her hair. It was just a shame that with her current appearance, her appearance was a down-and-out she-wolf that wouldn’t have any feminine appeal.

“Michael...” Joanna’s tears instantly filled her eyes, and she begged with a sobbing voice, “Just get me out of here, okay?”

Once again, I felt disgusted by her behavior. I hated hearing my mate’s name from her mouth and the way she looked at my mate with that look. Almost instantly, I began to regret that I shouldn’t have let Michael come here with me. I could deal with her alone.

I turned to Michael. His face didn’t change. It was only indifference.

Joanna was still there, trying to justify herself. “Michael, you know what kind of person I am. There must be some misunderstanding between us. Do you think I was there to help them? I was trying to help you, and you saw that day she was the one who tried to kill me, so why are you keeping me here?”

Joanna said while watching Michael’s expression. She saw that Michael did not waver and immediately switched tactics and lowered her head to make a sad face.

“I know you won’t believe everything I say now, but the truth will always prevail one day. We’ve known each other for so many years; even if you don’t believe me, you can’t just leave me here to die with a bunch of dirty werewolf criminals.”

My heart skipped a beat at Joanna’s words.

I knew that Michael would not fall for her words. He had seen everything with his own eyes and sensed everything I sensed through the mate connection. He would not believe her words.

But Joanna was right about one thing, she was a royal Lycan, and the family was still inextricably linked to the royal family that Michael was in. Michael could not kill her here. He could dispose of anyone here but always take Joanna back to the royal Lycan pack.

Thinking about it, I couldn’t help but reach out and grab Michael’s hand.

In this cold, damp prison, my fingers were a bit cold, but Michael’s palm was on fire. He looked down at me, pulling his hand as much as he did, and parted his fingers to clasp my hand, transferring more heat to me completely.

Michael’s cold voice rang out in the small space, “I told you to stay away from my mate. I told you more than once, Joanna.”

Joanna heard Michael’s voice and looked up abruptly, still trying to argue, “I’m not. I didn’t hurt her. She did... it herself.”

“That’s enough.” Michael’s voice was tinged with disappointment and suppressed anger. “I’ve given you plenty of chances, I’ve let you live in our house, tolerated you pissing off my mate over and over again, and finally, I had to move out of our own home with my mate, but you keep getting ahead of yourself.

“You were right earlier, we met early, and I couldn’t kill you here because of your parents, but you should know that if I hadn’t taken that into account, you would have been evicted from my house long ago.”

I saw Joanna’s lips tremble.

“I will take you back and let the werewolf court judge you, and you deserve it all.” Michael finally gave Joanna the verdict.

Joanna’s eyes were dead on Michael’s body, and her voice sounded like she was squeezing it out of her teeth. “She told you all this, and you never bothered to listen to me seriously, even though what I said was the right thing to do. How much help did I provide in tracking down the she-wolves, and what could she have done about it? Everything I did was to help you, Michael.”

Hearing Joanna’s words, I couldn’t hold down my anger.
