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. There is a threatening growl, no one remembers her exquisite beauty anymore. "Kill the bitch! Kill the bitch!" the crowd loudly demanded now. The King beckons the group to silence and turns to Alcina.
"You have one last chance to confess where you hide Erina. And I'm not going to repeat myself, Alcina," he explains to the half-conscious witch before him. Slowly she lifts her head and stares hatefully at the King. "I have nothing to lose here. I already knew that I might lose my life when I started this plan," she declares viciously. "Go and find her yourself. I hope she is died a terrible death by the time you find her. Then my sacrifice would not have been in vain and Giles would still be avenged."
When King Arthur hears her words, his eyeballs turn black. His Lycan fights for dominance to kill the witch.
"That then is the choice you have made for yourself," he declares solemnly. "Then there is no sense in postponing my sentence. Alcina, you have just confessed to kidnapping Erina. You may not have known the girl's identity when you performed that horrific act. But at your decision to remain silent of her whereabouts some seconds ago, it was already clear to you that the pup was the Crown Princess of the Royal Kingdom of Werewolves and the daughter and heir of the Alpha King of Midnight Moon," he holds out to her. A murmur rings through the attentively listening crowd.
"So you knowingly endangered the werewolf species' survival and refuse to take responsibility for it. You still peremptorily refuse to tell us where you hide the girl, thus endangering her life. That is a serious offense". A gasp of admiration passes through the crowd, no one could have guessed that the girl carelessly walking around in the pack possessed such high rankings. All the top rankings of the werewolf species are represented in one person, and a pup of five at that.
"Alcina, you destroyed my Kingdom twenty-three years ago. You got involved in an issue you had nothing to do with. Giles had committed an unforgivable crime for which I, as the King, had sentenced him to death and carried out the sentence myself," King Arthur authoritatively stated to the witch. "And you thought you had the right to avenge him."
Alcina raises her head arrogantly. "Florence was his fated mate. Giles had every right to her. You abused your power to rob him of what the Moon Goddess had given him. How fair was that?" she shouts accusingly at the King. A low growl sounds in the background. The Queen steps forward. "Alcina, by what right do you think you can judge my choice? I approached Giles respectfully and explained that I was pregnant with the love of my life. The mate bond didn't affect me because I was infatuated with the King and had a good life. And later, I was blessed with a great pup. You cursed my innocent unborn child that she should be the weakness of her mate. Out of annoyance, Enrick would then have to kill my only daughter to make my mate and me childless. We would then die of grief and that would have been the definite end of the Kingdom”, she sobs. “But look at my Drina, she is a wonderful woman. Your curse didn't harm her," she proudly points to the woman in the Alpha King's arms. Queen Florence gets more emotional. "I stand by my choice to this day for this wonderful man who filled my life with happiness, even though we lived in exile. He could have sent me away to Giles after what that bastard had done to me. Arthur is my true mate".
It is silent, Midnight Moon listens to the account nailed to the ground. Few lived during the Kingdom's existence but knew about it from stories of the elderly.
Elder Antony comes forward. "My King, if someone has an evil heart, nothing will be able to help bring them to repentance. This woman's crimes are too gross. To destroy an entire Kingdom by abusing your abilities and then still not come to repentance a quarter of a century later is not normal," he belts. "Alcina is not up to improvement, she does not regret her actions. She was on a mission this time to destroy your total family, including your son-in-law, thus wiping out the total werewolf specie. Speak your verdict, my King!"
With that, the curtain falls for Alcina, her fate is settled.
"Alcina, witch of warlock Andre's coven, I hereby sentence you to death. Your crimes are too serious to ignore and there is no chance of rehabilitation of your character. This sentence is enforceable by default," the King decides in a harsh tone. Alcina who had been calmly listening, bursts into tears. All her years of pent-up hatred were for nothing and she also has to pay up with her life. She tries to crawl towards the King but Cleo stops her in time. The King shakes his head. "It's over, Alcina, hate always draws the short straw. Get up!" he commands her authoritatively. Slowly the woman gets to her feet.
And then the unbelievable happens.
Two short shots are heard, then two arrows and two more spears stab into the witch's heart region. At first, a startled expression appears on her face before life draws out of her body. She drops to the floor with a tug. The Hall is silent again; everyone is trying to process what has happened.
All eyes are glued on Alcina's corpse lying on the stage with all the weapons stuck to her body. ...
