Multiple Mates (Complete)

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE ??

"Will Beta Brad and Widow Timberwood step up and stand in front of their council." They both move to their spot. "Guards bring forth the grey collar of truth and place on both candidates."

Garrett jumps up and growls, "you insult the widow by making her wear a collar when she did no wrong?"

Elder Ezra roars our, "this is my daughter. Are you going to collar the pups too who witness what happened?"

Councilwoman bangs her gavel, "bailiff mark them down in contempt. Keep track of everyone who speaks out of turn. I will explain this one time. Anyone who comes before the council will have a collar of truth put on them.  This saves time in the long run. They give their testimony and before we go into recess we will remove the collar. This collar will inform us how much truth they said. If anyone speaks on one of their behalves they too will be collared" then the collars are placed on them."be seated.

"Beta Brad, you will give you account of what happened"

Beta Brad, "my friends and I were at the fair grounds ride when I caught a scent of a she-wolf.  I seen she was talking to a few male wolves. This caused my wolf to go crazy. She had a buggy with various babies in it.The two older ones were calling her mama. She hugged and kissed those males goodbye.  I then turned and left the area. Later, I ran into her again. She was laying on a blanket under a tree. Her shirt was partially unbuttoned.  I then noticed a faint smell of a wolf who had sex recently. My wolf went crazy. I never felt that way before. I could smell several male scents on her. My body responded to her siren type appeal. It was like she had placed a spell on me. I knew she wasn't my mate, but my wolf was ready to fuck her." He look at Meri.

"My friends could not smell what I smelled. They were gonna take off toward the fairgrounds and leave me to an afternoon of entertainment.  I figured she was one of those pack sluts who could send her scent toward those in power. We were told about that in health class." He smirks when he said that.

"Beta Brad, can you tell the council why was nothing said to your alpha at the time of the accusation," asked Councilman Blayne?

"When you have an angry and stronger Alpha threatening you and realize her dad and brother just joined the discussion.- you stay quiet. Plus someone whose scent you smell on what I now believe was a jezebel in front of me. I figured it was safer to keep quiet until I got my alpha alone."

"Do you still believe she is a jezebel?"

"No, and I figured the odd scent coming from her that caused my wolf to go crazy has to do with the transitional, but still don't know why it made my wolf go crazy. I do apologize to the widow and the Beta's Timberwood's family.

Councilman Thomas ask, "where did you hear about this Jezebel syndrome again?"

"I remembered it from health class. Once I was away from her I could think clearly."

"Did anyone suggest you use this line of defense? Did you think use your untrained being a young beta as an excuse for your behavior?"

He did not answer right away.

"I repeat did this line of defense get suggested to k?"

Beta snarls, "yes, I was sent a letter about this being the possible reason I behaved this way."

"Since Elder Andrea Butler brought it up was it your grandfather who suggested it?"
