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. Smurmur 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 makesfeel 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 crthey 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 tbefore 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 jabout 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 tin 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 anytsoon so I drown myself in my thoughts again.

Three days in prison.

I wonder if that's been enough tfor her to reflect on her evil deeds and accept to herself that she's a real evil and shitty person. She has been given the chance to say her last words. I'm curious to hear what she has to say. Is she going to admit her crimes? Or is she going to deny it till her last breath? I won't be surprised at all if she does the latter.

After a long pause, she goes down on both knees, looking at the crowd below. Everyone stares at her in awe, including myself.

"Kyle." She calls in a crying voice. "I am your only sister. Don't let them do this to me. Please. You are the Delta of this pack. You have the power and authority to stop this execution from going on. If you stop this, I swear I'm going to change. I'm going to be a good girl. I won't do terrible things that will getin trouble anymore. I swear if you givethis second chance, I will change. For real. Please don't let them do this to your only sister. I don't deserve this." As much as her words infuriate me, I'm not even surprised to hear her say all those things.

She's not remorseful for what she did. The people she killed. The people she attempted to kill. The lives she destroyed. She's only thinking about herself.

If narcissism was a person, it'd be no one else but Alina.

"Your final words are just as shitty as your life decisions." Kyle blasts in fury and storms away from the grounds.

I can only imagine what he's going through right now. His sister is about to be hanged.

"It's time." Ronald announces and the guards step forward and seize Alina by the arms, she starts screaming and so does her parents. It's a good thing there were guards stationed very close to them to hold them still in case they tried to get to the stage when the twas announced for her sentence to take place.

Her father is raining curses onand the entire Lycan world, while her mother just fainted and is being carried away.

"Alpha Reagan! You can't let them do this to me. It's me, Alina! Your favourite girl!" Alina is screaming her lungs out as the guards drag her to the place where the hanging will take place.

The last tI 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 everytthat temptation crawls in, I pack it up in a bag and throw it over a cliff.

Alina would have been standing on 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 reason why I'm standing right here, staring at her legs kicking in the air as she gasps and struggles to breath without feeling an ounce of guilt.

This is the fate she wanted for Ashanti. She committed all sorts of crimes and tried to pin them on m Ashanti morder to push her into this hole, but Karma bit her in the ass and now she has found herself in the shole.

My eyes never leave her struggling body. I would smile, but that would makelook toolevil becaus i know there are people watching my face for the slightest reaction.

She was good in bed. I enjoyed fucking her, but I drew the line between us from the very first day. Like the spoiled brat she is, she didn't listen and thus began her quest to getfor herself like I was slimited edition handbag or jewellery. Look where that got her.

Her struggling body finally goes limp, her head hanging on her shoulder, tongue sticking out. It's a horrible sight to behold, but at the stime, oddly satisfying.

She's dead.

I can now live an "Alina-free" life.
