The Execution

A gasp escaped from Raziya as she hears the loud voice of the guard. "Just great I come out of my semi prison to rest for a little and then you summon me to issue more threats" Raziya muttered rolling her eyes in disdain.

She climbs down from the bed arranging her clothes well in the right proportion before she moves towards the door, Sara who had closed the door to inform Raziya of the recent development met her almost midway to the door. "The Alpha seeks your presence" she informed Raziya.

Raziya nodded "I heard while you were still at the door, that guard has a very loud voice for a little face and body, doesn't he? Raziya giggled but deep down she was nervous to meet the Alpha. Who goes with a glad heart to meet their demon. Sara giggled too at her joke about the guard.

"Let's go" Raziya beckoned to Sara. Raziya opened the door, she masked her face with a scowl as she noticed the guards that were still standing outside waiting.

They led the way while Raziya and Sara followed them. When they arrived at the location. The door opened Raziya entered inside leaving Sara outside with the guards.

The Alpha's eyes were trained on the door like it was instructed to not shift its gaze till Raziya appeared at the door.

He smirked as he saw Raziya at the door.
"I'm glad you could make it to my chambers"

"Well I can't say the same for me" Raziya muttered so he won't hear but he was quick to listen.

"I heard that" he grinned

"Right, it's not like I'm killing someone" Raziya retorted, looking at the floor she was nervous and upset to look at the Alpha.

Alpha laughed a little at her reply, he came forward to meet her, and her familiar scent hit his nostrils, his wolf side growled in excitement. Raziya gasped and trembled at Jagger's actions.

"Easy I don't bite" Jagger smirked at her reaction Sarcasm laced in his voice.

"you don't bite but you kill and threaten to cut off body parts" Raziya blurted out before she could stop her words.

"I do that to disobedient and stubborn people just like you Princess, if you promise to be a good girl and do my bidding then you don't have to worry about all of that."

He stepped away from her. "Now that you have recovered I think it's time you see the people who were involved in the attempt to murder you" Jagger notified Raziya who looked up at him with a big smile.

"Like right now? What do you plan to do to them?" she asked Jagger who was now seated and writing something down on a sheet of paper.

"Patience till we get there" his voice gruff.

Raziya stood watching him while he wrote on the paper, his face so serious and calm. Raziya admired the sight before her, she hadn't seen the Alpha in this way before so it was a very rare sight to cherish and admire. Jagger's hands moved swiftly in sync with his brain while Raziya smiled.

Raziya scowled she was admiring her demon, somebody she should be hating. She shifted her gaze to the window to distract her from admiring the Alpha, she looked at the neat surroundings and guards placed at their different stations all looking mean. She wondered if the mean face look was part of their training as guards.

Jagger stamped on the letter and folded it. It was the execution letter for the attempt to murder the Alpha's esteemed guest. He wanted their death to serve as a warning for whosoever that was nursing the idea of hurting Raziya again. He glanced over to Raziya, her eyes dancing lazily looking at nothing in particular. Her beauty was something that always mesmerized Jagger. His wolf was excited as he watched her.

"Let's go" he growled. Raziya turned to Jagger. He was standing with the piece of paper in his hands. He grabbed her hand and mind linked the guards to open the door. The guards and Sara who was still at the door bowed as they passed. Raziya signalled Sara to stay back when she wanted to follow them.

They walked into the dark passage of the dungeon, the prison was boisterous as they passed different prison doors Raziya heard growls, whimpering sounds, scrapes and sniffing. She got scared and held on to the Alpha's hands glad that she wasn't alone.

Jagger chuckled "you would get used to it, some of the prisoners shift to their Wolf that's why you can hear all these noises"

"Why do they shift to their wolves?" Raziya probed as she moved from a prison gate that had a wolf sniffing from inside. The loud sniffing sound frightened her.

"There's no particular reason to shift but mostly we werewolves shifts if there's in danger or we want to fight" Jagger explained.

"Wow, that's cool" Raziya squealed in wonder. "What is the colour of your wolf?"

"Greeting Great Alpha king Jagger" different voices echoed together in the prison.

Raziya titled her head. A squad of guards bowed their heads crouching down their left knee on the ground with their right knee shooting up and placing their right hand over their right knee that was shooting upward.

"Rise" Jagger ordered. "Here, take this" he handed the letter to the guard in front who was the leader of the squad.

The guard received the letter with both of his hands and bowed his head.

Raziya watched from behind and wondered what was written in the letter. "Open the gates" the leader of the squad thundered.

A guard who held the keys hurried over to the prison gates, fidgeting with the keys and finally opened the locks, as he opened the door he paved the way for Alpha Jagger and Raziya to enter.

The maids were locked in chains both on their hands and their legs. Their eyes shone in horror and fear as Jagger entered the cell with Raziya.

Jagger's face was lethal, he glared at them with disdain and contempt. The maids were trembling visibly. Jagger's sudden appearance and face were too horrendous for them to look at. They knew their end had come but none of them dared to plead for their life.

Raziya grimaced watching them, she lost every form of cool in her and the only thing she wanted to was lunge at them and beat them the exact way they beat her.

She moved to the leader of the maids, the maids brought down her face, quivering as Raziya approached her.

"Scared now are we" Raziya disparaged smirking devilishly.

"Please spare me, Princess" The maid whispered crying

Raziya crossed her hands on her chin pretending to think "I might consider if you grovel before me"

Immediately the maid prone out to the ground crying and begging for her life, and the other maids joined her.

Raziya moved when the leader of the maids tried to hold her legs.

"Silence" Jagger thundered as the whimpering noise of the maids became unbearable to his ears.

Jagger signalled the leader of the squad. He stepped forward holding out the letter and unfolding it. He read out loud and clear.

"Listen to the proclamation of the Alpha King in his writings. For your involvement in the gruesome gang up and attempted Murder of Princess Raziya of the Titasal kingdom an esteemed guest of Alpha king Jagger, which developed to serious bodily injury, loss of blood, pain, trauma and almost her life. You all are hereby condemned to death by hanging after Sunrise tomorrow." The leader of the squad finished reading the letter. He folded it and tucked it into his pocket.

The maids wailed in sorrow and anguish begging and grovelling for their lives but Jagger remained silent smirking wickedly at their actions.

Raziya grinned because they were getting what they deserves but at the same time pitied them for their ugly fate that wasn't in her hands to decide. The letter was already sealed and delivered which meant that it can't be revoked by any man except Jagger who was already having fun at the sufferings of the maids.

"Let's go" Jagger smirked grabbing Raziya and pulling her out of the cell. The cell gates were locked by the same guard after they left.

When they had left the dungeon walking back the same way they came Jagger titled her head toward Raziya. "You impressed me in the cell today, I know you to be rude and arrogant but not vicious" Jagger beamed glancing at Raziya like a proud teacher.

"They wronged me, that was just my defence mechanism" Raziya shrugged.

Jagger was intrigued by the woman beside him, she was not like any woman he had met. She was making it so hard for him to hate her. She was fierce, intelligent, resilient, still beautiful and many more than he could imagine. He wondered how a human could possess all of these qualities a luna should possess. The wolf in him yearned for her and every time he wanted to give in to his desires, the red flag was always there spelling out danger. She was a threat to him but this was a threat he was willing to explore.
