The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King novel Chapter 194

Chapter 194

The next three weeks passed in a blur, with the Kyltons’, Aphaels’, Tanner’s and Greg’s lawyers trying their best to save their clients. Some of the arguments and rebuttals got so ridiculous that the judges held their heads like they were getting a migraine.

One day before the verdict was scheduled to be delivered, every pack leader and Gamma boarded flights to the Kingdom and stayed over in hotels before making their way to court the next day. When the wolves saw each other in court, they embraced and chatted. The noise died down when the accused persons were brought into the courtroom. Almost everyone scowled at the Kyltons, Aphaels and Tanners, emitting low growls as they walked past with police escorts to be seated in the area designated for them. When Greg was brought in, however, no werewolf or Lycan made a sound.

They had been following the news, and were well aware of the magnitude of his contribution to the present case. Most of them were conflicted in what they thought of him. They hated him for helping the rogue corporation at its inception but they respected him for turning against the crooks and giving himself up to the authorities.

Those who still blamed him for the lives lost from rogue attacks chose to keep their comments to themselves since Lucianne emphasized that the losses would have continued, or even exacerbated, had the Duke not done what he did in recent weeks.

Dalloway’s task force managed to track down and arrest two of the rogues’ suppliers. Any silver, Oleander, serums and poisons found were seized and sent to the labs to be neutralized. The last supplier managed to clean out the hideout and flee before the task force arrived, so trackers were brought into the task force to help continue the search. 1

In the course of four weeks, the wolves caught and handed over about fifty runaway rogues, and killed another forty who tried to escape custody. These were caught not because they tried to attack packs but because they had to run through certain packs in the course of their escape, resulting in their capture. When questioned about where the rest were, every rogue said that they didn’t know because after coming out from the submarine, they dispersed, running in all directions since they weren’t sure which was the safest route to survival anymore.

Without the shelter, supplies and support from the corporation, the rogues were more vulnerable than ever. Since there was no longer any aid for the ruthless creatures, no pack reported any attacks in the past few weeks for the first time in so long. Tate and Toby were leading an expedition to hunt down the rest of the rogues in wolf territory, while Phelton and Langford were doing the same in Lycan territory. No wolf could deny that their packs were only safe now because of what Greg did in recent weeks, yet they still couldn’t let go of the fact that he was one who made all those years of attacks possible.

Conflicted. That was the only way to describe how most of them felt.

Two minutes after the accused persons were brought in, five judges entered the courtroom and everyone stood to exchange bows with them. After everyone was seated, Judge Cook began, “Good morning to everyone present. This case, as everyone knows, has

taken weeks to come to its end. And after much deliberation, we have come to the verdicts of the accused persons.”
