Alpha's Stubborn Daughter novel Chapter 59

The court hearing for the three men was held today at 3:00 pm. The men were told where the girls were sent to. Captain Cory yelled at the judge "asking him what kind of man was he to send women to a place like that?" The judge looked at him and said, the kind of man that wants them to learn a lesson the hard way. What they did was unforgivable and they need to realize their mistakes and the people they harmed. Just like you three are going to learn your lesson. For treason, and attempted murder you three will be serving 75 years and no less than 50 years at Tristan da Cunha which is surrounded by miles and miles of the South Atlantic Ocean. It's 1,750 miles away from the coast of South Africa and 1,500 miles from the nearest landmass, making it the most remote inhabited island group on earth. You, three men, will pay for your crimes. You tried to kill a 4-year-old little girl and her mother. You are soldiers who had taken an oath to protect others, to rescue those that were in harm's way. To help those who were being abused, kidnapped, raped. And yet, you wanted to rape Cat, your superiors wife, and mate before she died at your hands. That is unforgivable. You are going to serve out your crimes and that is where you cannot hurt anyone again that is innocent. You will be transported by Shane and his soldiers to the island and dropped off. You will fight to stay alive but you will fight against men like yourselves. Braden do you have anything you want to say before these men are escorted out of this courtroom? Braden walked to the front of the room and looked at them. "He stated" , you were my friends, my teammates and I would never have thought you would do something like this. You wanted to rape my mate and kill her. You tried to kill her and our daughter. You also were trying to take my company from me and my partners. I didn't care about that. I cared about my mate and daughter. As you know mates are the most precious thing to us. Now you won't even get the chance to find your mates. I find that sad. Sad not for you, but sad that your mates won't have you. They won't get the chance to know the real you and maybe that is good. But at least they will get second chance mates. I hope that you think about what you have done that put you on this island. God be with you. Braden then watched as they were escorted from the room and placed on the chopper and flown away.

Braden put his arm around Cat and said, it is over. You are safe now and so is Precious. He stated that he was informed that Jordan might have been involved. Kirk is going to your old pack house to meet with Jordan's father and tell him he is looking for his mate. He told Cat that Kirk was going to see if he could get information about what Jordan might be up to. He looked down at Cat and said. "They don't know Kirk and therefore don't know that Kirk is his brother" . He took her hand and helped her in the car. He said, we need to set a date for our marriage. Cat leaned against his shoulder and said "we will talk about that tonight". The rest of the ride was quiet. She said, "we need to get lunch when we get home." He smiled at here and said, "you want your coffee." She grinned and said you know me so well.

I was just finishing dressing when Braden entered the bathroom. He came up behind me kissing my neck and shoulder. He looked at the mating mark and said." It is really beautiful, isn't it?" I told him it was big and no one could not see who my mate is. He said true. I kissed his mating mark and he growled low saying if you continue to do that we will not be leaving the bedroom. I giggled grabbed his hand and walked out of the bathroom and out our bedroom door before we ended up staying in our room. I stated that we need to discuss our wedding plans today and let everyone know we have set a date. We have decided to let everyone know that we are getting married next month on the 1st. That is June first here at the compound. I looked at my hand and Braden noticed the sad look on my face. He said I will get you another engagement ring. I am sorry that had to cut your ring off. I smiled at him and told him it better be a good one. He laughed as we walked down the stairs and out into the backyard.

Just as we got our food and sat down with our parents, Shane my brother walked up to introduce his second chance mate, Red to all of us. We congratulated him and welcomed Red to the family. At that time Magan was introduced to me and I hugged her thanking her for guarding my children. She smiled and stated it was her pleasure to ensure they remained safe while I was in the hospital. At that time I saw Kirk across the yard and Magan both start sniffing the air. I elbowed Braden and pointed it out. He had a big grin on his face. All of a sudden they turned and looked at each other and started to walk towards each other. As they met we all heard them say "mate". I was so happy for Kirk. He needed to have his second chance mate as well. I laughed softly and said, all is right with our family. Braden bent down and kissed me. He then brought out the small box and said. I did get you another ring as promised and he slid the most beautiful ring onto my finger.
