The Execution

Book:The White Wolf's Luna Published:2024-6-4

“Someday my prince will come, someday we’ll meet again, and away to his castle, we’ll go… To be happy forever, I know…” All of the Alpha, including Nate, Athena, Craig Isaac, and the people who live in the town where they will hold the Execution of Eille, are listening to her sing.
She’s up to the mini stage where a man holds a sword beside her, and down there is a little bucket.
“Someday when spring is here, we’ll find our love anew, and the bird will sing…  And wedding bells will ring, Someday when my dreams come true…” Isaac turns to look at Nate, who’s just listening to Eille.
“She’s gone mad,” Isaac whispers, but Nate says nothing. After he talks to her, Eille tells him that she already accepted her destiny awaited her and that any minute now, she would be executed by beheading.
“Eille from Custov Clan, who betrayed the organization and destroyed the peace between the other’s involved clans, is facing her execution as the minister of Mantov State declares her death by beheading her and burying her torso in the steepest hill of Land Travloc as she didn’t deserve to buried in a beautiful place because of her sins.” The Beta of Amadeo read the letter from the Minister and looked to Eille, whose smile never faded.
“The said woman will now give the sentence of death for kidnaping the heirs of the Montremanor Clan and for causing trouble from the different organizations which may cause war. The duke and duchess give their full support as the said woman let her tribe die because of her reckless actions.” It added and gave a signal to the two men. They pushed Eille to kneel on the ground and inserted her head in a circle. The man holding a sword positions himself beside Eille and waits for the signal of the Beta.
“Is there anything you want to say?” The Beta asked Eille. Eille just smiled at the people watching her Execution before her gaze landed on Nate, who was looking at her.
“Thank you for making me smile today… Nate.” Eille said, and with that, the Beta gave a signal to the man who was holding the sword. The man cuts Eille’s head, which drops to the bucket down the mini stage. Nate closed his eyes as he saw how Eille died and faced the consequences of her actions. A minute after that, the people who watched the Execution turned to go back to their businesses, and the man from Amadeo’s clan got Eille’s torso and put it in the carriage they will, burying her body down on the hill. At the same time, her head was set on fire.
Amadeo walks closer to Nate and offers his hand for a handshake. Nate accepts it, and Amadeo smiles at him.
“Thank you for caring for my son and bringing him back to us,” Amadeo said. Nate nods and looks to Caliber, who’s hiding behind his dad.
“Don’t go with strangers again,” Nate said, so Caliber stepped forward and smiled at him.
“Thank you, daddy.” Nate smiles as he hears Caliber call him daddy.
“Please join us in our mini celebration.” Amadeo invited him. Nate looks at Isaac.
“They will come to you, but I can’t as I need to look Beatrice in the hospital,” Nate said, so Amadeo nodded and gave something to Nate.
“Take this as a sign of our gratitude,” Amadeo said, giving Nate a mini pouch. Nate looked at what was inside and saw a pair of rings.
“Gina told me to give it to you as she wanted you to give it to Beatrice,” Amadeo said. Nate looks at him and smiles.
“For what?” Nate asked. Amadeo smiled at him and patted his shoulder.
“The flower will bloom again to connect you two and start a new spring,” Amadeo said. Nate frowned as he didn’t get what he said, but he just smiled and kept his gift in his pocket.
“Thank you,” Nate said. Amadeo nods at him.
On the other hand, Celestine is waiting for Nate to return to the hospital as she’s worried about Beatrice. Beatrice is not yet awake, and the doctor tells her to report something if she sees something strange in Beatrice’s body.
Beatrice’s family comes to the hospital after knowing that their daughter was involved in an accident.
“What does the doctor say about our daughter’s condition?” Lynn, mother of Beatrice, asked. Celestine looks to Beatrice and looks back to her mother.
“It’s a miracle that she’s alive after not responding to them for almost 30 minutes,” Celestine said, which caused Lynn to smile.
“Why are you smiling for?” Celestine asked. Lynn looks to Celestine.
“Our family used to believe in second chances, reborn and reincarnation. Upon hearing your words, I think our daughter experienced the second chances scenario where she talked to her loved one who already died.” Lynn said and looked back to her daughter.
“And I think she’s been talked to Margarett during that time.” She added. Celestine looked at Beatrice and smiled.
“That’s good to know, as Nate doesn’t want her to die,” Celestine said.
On the other hand, Rayver and Danver are waiting for Nate outside the room of Beatrice in the hospital. After their last talk in Danvers’s mansion, the twins are not talking to each other.
Danver looked at his twin and took a deep breath before he spoke.
“Are you going back to our tribe now?” Danver asked, so Rayver looked at him for a second, smiled, and thought of his question.
“I don’t know,” Rayver said and looked down. “Nate needs me.” He added, so Danver sighed and nodded.
“If ever you want to return to our tribe, you’re free to return,” Danver said, so Rayver looked at him and nodded.
She wants to return to their tribe and be with his twin again, but Rayver is thinking about Nate. He knows Nate will need him, so he can’t leave and return to the tribe to which he belongs.
