Execution

The way is cleared for the King and Queen to take the stage.

Behind them, Jace and Cleo carry the unruly Alcina. All eyes of those in the Hall are now focused on the pups. Six pups with a weapon pointed at Alcina. Once the new arrivals enter the stage, a warrior quickly arranges a seat for the Queen with the twins back in her arms.

"Midnight Moon, I am King Arthur and this is my mate Queen Florence," Drina's father introduces himself. "Right now, more important is rescuing Erina, my eldest grandchild. Alcina here is responsible for her disappearance. This will not stay unpunished. And since I'm the highest authority here, I am charged with her trial," he confidently states. "Bring her forward!" he commands.

The two men drag the skinned Alcina before the King.

No one recognizes the beautiful, groomed woman who used to hang out in their pack for several weeks. The clothes on her body are dirty and torn, and there is only one shoe on her foot.
