THE LYCAN KING’S SECOND CHANCE MATE novel Chapter 301

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. Some murmur 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 makes me feel 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 crime they 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 time before 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 jab me out 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 time in 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 anytime soon so I drown myself in my thoughts again.

Three days in prison.

I wonder if that's been enough time for 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 get me in trouble anymore. I swear if you give me this 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.
