Alpha's Unique Human Girl novel Chapter 20

It's almost as if I lose control as I walk over to the noise peering in through the metal bars at an older man as he sits in the center of the room, tears falling down his cheeks. "Luna," He speaks his breathing short, within seconds he's by the bars, "Please, you have to believe I only stole the goods because of my daughter, she was in heat and her mate rejected her, I needed the stuff of which I couldn't buy, please Luna I just want to get back to my family." I take a step back with watery eyes.

"Luna, come on, I shouldn't of allowed you to come here." Lance speaks, placing a hand around my wrist and leading me away from the pleading man. "Lance, how will he be punished?" I ask reluctantly, already having a feeling I won't like the answer.

"Well he stole thousands of dollars worth of medication and then resisted arrest and ended up harming one of the guards, knowing Titus, the man is most likely going to be put to death. Whether it's by being hung and starved in town, or a private execution done by the Alpha himself."

And just like that, the hatred I felt for Titus floods back in, almost as if I had broken a spell, the mark on my neck begins to burn but I attempt to ignore the pain as I continue to follow Lance back to Titus' home "I don't understand, He was helping his family, Lance, If Charity was in pain I would die to get her help." I speak as he continues to drag me back, ignoring the curious glares from pack members.

"Maybe so, but Alpha Titus doesn't care about the 'why' he cares about the 'what' If you commit a crime here, no matter what the reasoning you get punished, the worse the crime, the worse the punishment."

"What if you're falsely accused?" I question as I attempt to keep up with him. "Alpha Titus doesn't ask questions, if there is enough evidence against someone, it doesn't matter if they have an alibI or something that can clear their name. The evidence against them almost always rules over and they get punished, not that I personally agree but I'm not Alpha."

I stay silent for the remainder of the journey. My mind and heart racing as I hear the mans screams repeatedly. He was doing something I would do, something anyone would do and he's dying for it, I understand that he shouldn't go unpunished, but death? Taking him away from his family? It's to severe.

"Lance told me, I told you to keep an open mind, I told you you wouldn't like what you see." He speaks I swear I hear his voice break but I ignore it. I feel his hand lightly brush my arm causing me to tense once more "Don't touch me,' I practically spit causing him to retract his hand.

"You kill people because you like it, not because you have to. There are people in those dungeons who deserve a few years locked up or community service who are on the road to death. You are an evil man, A man I'm absolutely furious I was dumb enough to try and give a chance." I sigh as I stand, still shaking.

"Don't speak to me unless you are planning on changing that lust for murder." I say, my voice seemingly strong as I push past him, the mark on my neck throbs painfully but again I choose to ignore it along with the burning pit in my stomach I can only assume is coming from him.
