The Lycan King’s Second Chance Mate by Sumi

REAGAN'S POV.

"Alpha Reagan." Kyle calls in surprise when I arrive at the execution ground. Everyone else is just as shocked as he is to see me, but they don't express it like Kyle has by calling my name. Some murmur to themselves while others simply sigh. As I walk to the front which is below the stage where the hanging will take place, my eyes flicker around, searching for someone and when I finally see him, I let my eyes stay on his face for a while.

Alina's father.

Watching him melt down, together with his wife makes me feel sorry for them. I'm tempted to revoke the death sentence, but when I remember how delighted they would have been if Ashanti had been in the one in Alina's place right now, about to get killed for a crime they know she did not commit, my heart turns sour and I tear my gaze from his face before I do something I'll regret.

Alina is a threat to society. She has proven that point on many occasions and because of the confessions that have been made, too many lives will be at stake if I let her live. It'd be just a matter of time before she forms an alliance to start killing all the people who testified against her regardless of where they are. I cannot risk it. She has to die.

Alina's sobbing sounds jab me out of my thoughts and I look up to see her being shoved forward on the stage, both hands and feet bound in chains like the criminal she is. This is the first time in my life I'm seeing Alina in such a dishevelled state.

Ronald, who's standing on the stage with her, looks at her and clears his throat.

"Any last words?" He asks calmly, quietly and Alina turns to the crowd. The entire atmosphere goes dead silent. My eyes never leave her face. She doesn't look like she's going to talk anytime soon so I drown myself in my thoughts again.

Three days in prison.

time I witnessed someone getting hanged was many years ago, when I was quite young. Now that I'm about to witness it again, I'm tempted to feel bad, but everytime that temptation crawls in, I pack it

the front row just like I am with a celebratory glass of wine in hand, smiling from molar to molar and even proposing a toast if Ashanti had been the one about to get hanged. Alina's hatred for Ashanti and zeal to see Aahanti get destroyed is the
