**John POV: **
It has been a week, with no visitors at all. Not even my uncle, the guard come and bring me breakfast, lunch, and dinner. My only guess is that they have to talk to the council about my treason and set up a date for my execution. My thoughts went to the baby she is carrying, it could be mine or Jason's. I wonder if the child is mine would she still have me execute? Honestly, I knew the answer to that, if she does not execute me, Abrams, for damn so will. Lost in my thought the guard comes early today.
“Human time to go”, he said stone-faced.
“Where am I going?”, wondered if it was my time already to be executed.
“You are going to wash up and get dressed you have a meeting to attend to”, he says as he opens the cell.
I followed the guard he took me to a gym or some sort. I washed up and when I was finished clothes were waiting for me on a chair. Once I finished getting dressed the guard came back and then walked to the main house. Once I was inside, we walked up some stairs down a huge hall. He stopped and left I looked and there was Abrams, my uncle Tom, that ass whole McKee, and those Alphas and Betas. My uncle opened the door I walked in and there she was the woman I believed to be the love of my life.
“Bastet”, you look good”, I said not knowing what else to say.
“You look like shit”, she said smiling. I know she is trying to break the ice.
“Well being locked up in a dungeon will do that to a person”, I said with a shrug.
“John, I have to tell you something”, she said sadly.
“Sure, whatever it is I am here to listen”, I said not taking my eyes off her
“It's about the DNA test, the results came in today”, she said seems to be fighting the tears. Fuck I am not the father.
“You are the father to a beautiful baby girl whose name is Cleopatra”, she said smiling. I took a seat and caught my breath.
“I....we have a daughter. Can I see her”, I said clearing my throat.
“Sure of course”, she said with a smile.
I watched as she left through a side door and came out with a tiny little thing in her arms. She walked over and sat next to me. In her arms is my daughter the most beautiful girl in the world. I reached out for her and Bastet placed her in my arms. One look at her and I started crying. I could have killed her by shooting her mother. I silently thanked God for preventing that.
“What is her full name?”, I asked.
“Her full name is Cleopatra Bordeaux Coppa-Noir", Bastet said as our daughter cooed in my arms.
“What a beautiful name you have baby girl”, I said to our daughter.
"Right", she said smiling.
"I am so sorry. I could have killed you. You beautiful girl", I said starting to weep.
“Bastet tell her all of the good about me. My uncle has my last will and testament all of my belongings go to her. And for what it's worth I am sorry, know that I still love you regardless of what happened”, I said not taking my eyes off our daughter.
“I know and I have to take responsibility I pushed you to do what you did. If I would have been a better woman for you none of this would have happened”, she said and I looked at her and shook my head.
“No, none of it is your fault. It is all mind, but you know you should say thank you because you found your true love”, I said with a laugh.
“Really now, is it now?”, she asked jokingly.
“Yup you found your true love, I am glad it is not McKee's ass”, she laughed after I said that.
“I am going to miss you”, she said with sorrow.
“When is the execution supposed to happen?”, I asked.
“Next week, we have to have all the council here to witness it. You know how it is. Is it okay if I see her again before it is time”, I asked looking at my daughter.
“Sure, you know I kind of run this place. I can have you moved somewhere better under guard of course”, she said looking down at our daughter.
“I will like that. You know she looks like you a lot", I said.
“Nope, but she is the perfect mix of us”, she said rubbing our daughter's feet.
“Thank you for this. I am sure everyone outside disagrees with me being here right now”, I said looking at Bastet and seeing tears in her eyes.
A knock on the door means those outside gave us enough time to be alone. The door opened and everyone walked in even the guard. True to her word I was brought to a house that was heavily guarded.

One week Later
Bastet POV: **
Today is the day of John's execution. Dad said he could do it if I didn’t feel up to it. But I told him no this is my responsibility. Yesterday Cleo spent all day with him under supervision of course. Not I am putting on my armor while the council and everyone else wait for me to cut off John's head. During the week there have been a trial John have pleaded guilty and accepted his punishment. Since Seth and Stephan are the hosts of this execution they are not allowed to be involved. A knock on the door then Jason opened it. As my second he will walk me out.
“You do not have to do this”, he said.
“I know everyone keeps telling me that”, I said trying not to snap.
“So, Abrams is going to stay here with you when he retires”, he stated more rather than asked.
“Yup, he already told the council he will not be returning with you guys. So, it looks like you will be in charge”, I said smiling at him.
“Yeah, but what is a king without his queen?”, I asked jokingly.
“Come on silly”, I said and walked past him.
We walked out to the pack yard. There were chairs seating the council members and members of the association who wanted to witness the execution. On the stage are my dad, John's uncle Tom, Seth, Morton, Gar, and Stephan. I John is on his knees waiting for my sword. I stand in front of him and start my speech.
“John Bordeaux, you have been tried for treason and have been sentenced to death. Taking into consideration the service you provided to the Hunters Association you will not die on your knees like a coward please stand up”, I said.
There were gasps and mumbling as John stood up. Somewhere even shaking their heads. I looked at my dad and he nodded. I looked at Jason he nodded, and Seth nodded as well. Stephan smiled and gave me a thumbs-up.
“Any last words?”, I asked.
“Let the record show that I love this woman until my dying breath. And I am sorry for the wrong that I did to her. Uncle, I am sorry for the shame I brought to you. Alpha Seth, I am grateful to you for taking her and loving her when I did not. Please continue to love her and my daughter. McKee, you were a great adversary, but I am glad we both lost because she is truly happy. Bastet I am ready”, John said.
After his speech, I backed up and drew my sword. John looked me straight in the eyes and said I love you then I cut off his head. I am not going to lie my heart ached for him. A day later he had a funeral I made sure he was buried not as a traitor. I attended with Seth and Cleo; Tom retired as well last I heard he is traveling the world. Dad on the other hand is the pack grandpa. He trains the children Danny loves him Haruo does as well.
**Five years later **
It has been five years and my life is great. Cleo is now five and is the princess of the pack. Sol and I have gotten close over the years. She came a long way, Seth and her have a son named Onal. Their pack is thriving. Danny is now nine and taking his role as big brother and cousin seriously. I am now pregnant with a boy still not a wolf but I enjoy being Luna of this pack, my family. I heard Jason got married I am glad he loved on and found someone to love. On occasion, his uncle Tom sometimes visits Cleopatra.
I was a Huntress, a warrior, a leader, a wife. Now I am a mother, a Luna, and still a warrior. I met my true love because of the betrayal of a man I loved. If I had to do it over I would not change a thing.
