NovelEnglishChapter 233 Either way, his death wasn't ever going to be swift, not after what he helped do to my mate and my soon-to-be wife.
My words cut deeply against Rhett. However, her words to Magnus are the ones that destroy him when he learns how little his life means to her now. And I realize that is exactly her intention, she wants Rhett to know she feels nothing for him, that he no longer scares her, or controls her.
"As you wish, my Queen." he nods to her. The council elders clear out, leaving just Clyde, Bianca, Rhett and the guards when Aubrey steps closer to where Rhett is. She levels her gaze on him and smiles as the guards haul him to his feet to drag him back to lock up while we wait for Clyde's sentence.

"You took Queen Jacinta from him, and took Max's mother. That deserves more than a quick death. Now maybe you'll realize the torment you caused them when he bleeds it from you." she tells him before turning on her heel and striding toward me. I watch Rhett's face fall, and he pales to sickly gray when he meets my gaze.
After a brief deliberation, the council delivers their verdict. Rhett and Clyde are found guilty on all counts and sentenced 0.00% Chapter 233 to death for treason. Bianca, as agreed, is sentenced to life. imprisonment. Her relief is short-lived though when she learns she'll be locked in maximum security, not in a werewolf prison but a human one. There will be no full moons for her, and she'll be sedated to never be able to shift, basically human and defenseless.
Rhett snarls and struggles against his chains as the guards. drag him away. "This isn't over! Alaric will cfor you all!" I rise from my seat, my aura pressing down on the room. "And his death will be swift when he does. Yours not so much." I remind him.
As the council members disperse, Magnus comes over with Maverick. "Maverick said you might have sideas on how to handle King Alaric?" I nod.
"Yes, I need the council to address the media, placing the blon Rhett and Clyde solely. I need Alaric to believe he has gotten away with this." "How would we explain his shipments being interrupted?" "Place it on Clyde that he hired Boreal Transports for his own gain that he was caught with Rhett trying to dispose of the bodies you believe were from the missing shipping containers found at the docks, that you intercepted him trying to get rid of bodies like those with the containers.
"May I ask what you have planned?" Magnus asks.
"No, but you'll get the invitation to that showdown, that I can assure you." I tell him.

Your guard will drop Rhett back to your dungeons, and I will ensure Clyde's execution is public knowledge and give a statement." Magnus tellswhen I remember there was one answer we never got. And that is who is the spy in my castle.
Looking at Maverick, I ask him. "Clyde has someone working inside my castle. Do you know of anyone he speaks to within my guard?" I ask him. His brows scrunch up, and he goes back to his table, retrieving his paperwork. "I did notice calls coming from the castle. I assumed it was you speaking with him.” Damian wanders closer, also wanting to know who escaped his radar. Maverick flicks through pages and pulls out a call log, showing us the phone calls. It doesn't show us where in the castle the call originated from or who it was.
"I will search through his office again and see what I can find." "What makes you think you have a traitor in the castle?" "Information being leaked to the media, but also Jacinta. Someone had to let Rhett in. None of my guards remembered him even being there because we had minimal staff at the castle that day. It was also planned too well. They knew I wasn't going to be hthat day." Magnus nods slowly, pondering my words.
"Well, I guess it is a good thing that you have Rhett in your care. I agreed to allow you to handle his execution. I never said it had to be humane, I'm sure you can convince him to speak.” Magnus tells me. With that, Magnus leaves with Maverick and I turn to Aubrey, pulling her into my arms. "It's 59.44% ||| Qapter 231 done," I whisper.

She leans into me, but her voice is steady when she replies "Not yet." e There's sti Alaric."
I nod, knowing she's right. Rhett and Clyde may be dealt with, but the true O. threat remains. And after learning of the army he is building, I know soon he'll make his move, but not before I make mine. Chapter 234
