THE LYCAN KING’S SECOND CHANCE MATE novel Chapter 298

REAGAN'S POV.

“I hereby sentence you to death by hanging.” I firmly proclaim.

“No!” Alina screams in horror, slidding from her chair to the floor. Her parents rush forward with terrified looks on their faces and the crowd has began to murmur again and what gives me joy is the fact that every one seems to agree with my judgement. “Alpha Reagan.” Alina calls in tears as she looks up at me from the floor. “Please…” She attempts to crawl towards me and hold my heels but I take several steps away from her to maintain the distance between us. I don't want her touching me. “You can't do this.”

“Can't I?”

“That punishment is too cruel and I still stand on my word that I did not commit those crimes. I have no idea who these people are. Please Alpha Reagan , you have to believe me!”

“This is an unfair sentence!” Her father scolds at the top of his voice and I'm not even surprised. I shoot him an amused look. He's looking at the crowd and then at the Alphas and elders as if asking them to come to his aid. “Death by hanging is too gruesome a punishment for my daughter. A jury is supposed to deliberate on the issue and come up with a sentence, not you!” He says bitterly, pointing his index finger at me as his eyes turn blood red.

His audacity never fails to amuse me.

Even after it's been proven with audios and videos that his daughter is guilty of murdering three people, he still has the guts to demand a merciful sentence while raising his voice at me like I was his child. It's going to be so much fun to watch him witness the death of his daughter.

“Mr. Williams, haven't you been listening to everything that has been said here? Your daughter killed three people!”

“No, she did not!”

“Father, please stop this madness already.” Kyle scolds as he approaches us. “You've listened to the confessions and the audios, you’ve watched the videos with your own eyes. Alina's crimes have been exposed, stop trying to cause a scene!” He reprimands and his father does the unthinkable. He strides over to Kyle and when he's close, he drives his right fist into Kyle's jaw, giving him a heavy blow that makes his head sway in the opposite direction. Pin-dropping silence takes over the hall as we all watch the father and son engage in a bone-chilling, eyeball to eyeball fight. Kyle looks chill and completely unaffected by his father's sudden outburst. His father on the other hand is breathing so hard, one would think he's about to burst.

“How dare you!” He wheezes. “How dare you connive with these people to end your sister's life? Don't you have any shame?” He asks almost breathlessly. Kyle simply shakes his head and turns to the guards standing nearby.

“Take her away and have her locked up in the high security dungeon cell.”
