Alfred's POV
We got to the pack in no time, while members of the pack were already gathered. I guess they've heard the news, and that's good because I already planned on humiliating him.
"Alpha, what should we do with them?" The commander of soldiers asked.
"Treat them like the criminals that they are, and of course show mercy."
"Yes Alpha." He responded.
The members of the pack began to buzz and murmur within themselves while I climbed towards my throne and made myself comfortable.
"Listen up!" My voice thundered as the noise died down and everywhere fell silent.
"I guess you all know why you're gathered here, even without any summons or invitation."
The pack members began to murmur again as I yelled, shutting them up.
"Shut up this instant!" I thundered.
"Oh, you found her." Iza laughed sterically as she walked toward the throne. "I thought you'd never do it."
"Iza, could you please behave yourself?" I whispered to her. I whispered as I tried calling, but she ignored me and went further with her speech.
"Some of you might be wondering what caused all these, why all female Omega's were arrested, and why an Omega was thrown into the dungeon and a sweet-hearted guard endangered his life to save her." She laughed again.
"Iza, behave yourself this instant!" I yelled at her, standing to my feet, and pulled her out of the stage.
"Oh, should I?" She pulled away from my grip. "Shouldn't I tell them, huh?" She pointed toward the crowd.
"Iza, now isn't the time; we can talk about this in the pack house." I begged her, while the eyes of the crowd had already fallen on us.
"No, baby, now is the perfect time, and I'm so going to make use of it." She smiled at me again and headed towards the stage again.
"I apologize for the interruption, and I know you're all on your toes to hear the gist, right? Well, while don't you ask your Alpha what caused the arrest in the first place?" She chuckled and darted her eyes toward me.
"Iza, get down from there!" I yelled and grabbed her hands with force, pulling her from the stage. "Have you gone nuts?"
"Have I gone nuts, huh? Why don't you allow me to express my feelings and sufferings to the members of the pack, or aren't they my people anymore?" she said.
"You should act as their Luna because that's what they need you to be and not the other way around," I said, holding her firm.
"Let's go off me; they shouldn't be the only ones to be humiliated; you should have a share too," she said, trying to free herself from the grip.
"Take her into the pack house." I told a guard beside me.
"Let me go! I am your Luna, so great me with respect!" She yelled.
The crowd began to murmur again, this time louder than before.
My beta, Sylvester, tinkled a fork and glass to call the attention of the wolves while I stood to my feet and walked to the stage.
"Some of you must have heard, while some haven't, but I'm here to clarify and warn you too. Learn from this experience and whatever you feed your eyes on today." I paused. "One of the guards in this respective pack did something horrible; he didn't only help a criminal escape but spied on me." I announced while the crowd gasped. I kept quiet for a second, allowing them to exclaim.
"Who spies on his Alpha? It's such a sinful act that requires banishment if not death."
"I have a reason for that. He's not what you think he is." Roman yelled from the execution chamber while a soldier tripped him up by pressing his head against the ground.
On seeing that, some people gasped in pity while others laughed mockingly.
"As you can see, he even has no remorse or regrets, even at the point of losing his life. His life is in your hands; what do you suggest we do to him?" I asked as I sat back comfortably.
"Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!" They sang.
I smiled to myself on hearing that.
"How about his concubine? What do you suggest we do to her?" I asked again with excitement in my voice.
"Kill her! Kill her! Kill her!" They chorused, and their chins spread out widely.
"Noo..." I heard a female voice cry as everywhere fell silent. "You can't kill her." She cried, and I was angered.
"And who are you to oppose what the pack has declaimed?" I thundered.
"She's the only one I have; please don't kill her. She's hardworking; she'll serve the pack till she dies."
"She has done that already, and it's her time to die." I snarled.
"But we haven't heard what she did that has warranted her death." Fear filled her voice as I silenced her immediately. That was exactly the question I was avoiding.
"I think your sister is the right person to ask that question, let's hear from her then," I said, knowing the Omega was so weak to even say a word and nothing was worst than an omega to be in such position, it was good as death.
Everyone would distance themselves from such people.
"As predicted, she knows she deserves to die," I voiced out, and after a few seconds, she did reply.
"Commander, carry out the execution." I instructed, smiling.
My secrets were finally saved, and I had nothing else to worry about.
The faces of the soldiers hardened as they secured a noose around the neck of the condemned and pulled the rope from behind.
A hushed tension filled the air as all eyes were left on them. The condemned began to struggle for breath as they wiggled their legs. The Omega was the first to give up on her life, as she dropped lifeless with both eyes closed. She still looked pretty even in death, I scoffed.
