No one objected and no witness, no words were asked for. There was no judgment just the punishment, and that's what a king is not allowed to do. No matter what a crime is, it needs proper judgment, and if an innocent got punished for the crime he/she never committed…

No one is an exception when it comes to paying for their sins.

"Listen to me once your majesty!" Minseok said in a pleading voice while kneeling down before the royalties.

Not too late when a lady came running to him hugging him as she was afraid to lose him. Her expanded belly was not letting her sit or kneel that comfortably, but that was not her concern right now.

"Alpha, listen once, please! He'll never let you down, Alpha!" Hana begged Alpha but he didn't listen.

On one sign of the Alpha, guards came forward to separate her from her one and only mate. Hana yanked their hands away, as she growled threatening them.

Minseok grabbed her hands before kissing her forehead, and looked into her eyes deeply, "Calm down!"

With that, the maids successfully grabbed her while she struggled to get free and Minseok raised his head looking at the Alpha.

"A-alp--" Even before he could say something Alpha cut him off, "No words, you broke my trust Minseok! There are no words left to be spoken! The loss my realm, my pack suffered from, you'll pay for it with your LIFE!"

A sad smile spread on Minseok lips as he looked at Alpha's furious eyes, "Never in my life I ever thought My best friend will lose faith in me. Everything I got is your obligation my lord, Even my l-life." A lone tear fell from his cheeks as he continued speaking.

"You are our god Alpha!" Minseok paused, "If you think that I'm a traitor then here I'm, anything you say, my lord..!"

There was no delay in action, as soon as he completed his sentence, the guillotine's blade fell down and his head fell off his body, blood gushing out.

"NOOOOO!!!" Hana cried dropping to her knees, her cries echoed in the surrounding. She was not ready to accept the truth that her love, her mate left her forever, or should I say she never wanted to.

Her eyes turned red as he looked up at the Alpha who was sitting while his head between his palms, All the royalties by his side. Her eyes fell on Mr. Min who came running to Alpha and whispered something in his ear.

A loud chuckle left her throat as she saw how the so-called Alpha's furious eyes turned into guilty ones. She laughed like a lunatic seeing how Alpha stood up looking at her mate's body with tears welling up in his eyes.

"ALPHA ALPHA ALPHA! HUH! YOU KNOW WHAT A ALPHA IS?" Hana asked with sarcasm filled to the brim of her every word, as she managed to stand up with her heavy womb.

Looking at Alpha's such state, the pregnant Luna came forward consolingly patting at Alpha's shoulder.

As soon as Hana's eyes fell on Luna's womb, she chuckled more dramatically, "Alpha is a person who provides justice, who cares like a father! BUT AREN'T WE ALSO A PART OF YOUR REALM…YOU STUBBORN MAN! YOU DON'T DESERVE THE TITLE OF AN ALPHA AT ALL!" Hana bellowed harshly at Alpha Kim who had nothing left to say anymore.

"YOU'RE A MURDERER! YOU'RE A SINNER! YOU DESTROYED A FAMILY! YOU KILLED A HONEST PERSON! HE WORSHIPPED YOU LIKE A GOD! HE ADMIRED YOU LIKE NO ONE ELSE! AND WHAT YOU DID?" Hana paused in the middle looking at the dead body of her mate, "YOU WERE SO BLIND BY YOUR POWER THAT YOU GAVE HIM THE PENALTY OF SUCH A CRIME HE NEVER COMMITTED!!!!"

"You got so many people around you but what about me my f-family?" She caressed her womb as more tears fell from her cheek.

Finally calming down she craned her neck up once again wiping her tears as rage filled her up, "I owe a lot to this pack, I'll never wish anything wrong to this pack, that's why…" She shifted her eyes to luna.

"Our future Alpha needs to survive! I HOPE HE'LL BE A KING WITH PRINCIPLES, NOT A COWARD LIKE YOU. But someone needs to pay right?" She leaned to his mate's body and caressed her mark on his neck, and then pulled out the dagger tied around his waist.

"I'll never let my children suffer, it's better if I end it this way…" With that she stabbed her own heart as blood started dripping down, her body felt numb and she dropped on her knees.

Hissing between the pain she proudly raised her head high," I curse on the value of my spirituality, on the name of my reverence on moon goddess…"

Everyone's eyes widened as Alpha looked up not wanting her to complete her sentence but she did," You killed my mate, destroyed my family and your girl child will pay for your sins! She'll suffer ten times more than me!" She choked as blood came out of her mouth.

"H-ana!" Luna's breathing quickened as her legs felt so numb.

"She'll never be able to return her mate's love! She'll never be able to confront him! She'll never be able to talk to him, talk about him! She'll crave for him but never be able to tell him!" Hana didn't stop and kept cursing Alpha's future daughter who'll be paying for his sins.

"She'll be close to him and still far far away! SHE'LL PAY FOR YOUR SINS ALPHA KIM! AND YOU'LL DIE IN GUILT EACH AND EVERY SINGLE MOMENT!!!" These were her last words as her body fell to the ground, the warmth of life stolen by the cold embrace of death.

Blood gushing out of her open wounds and tainting the once pristine ground with the humor of one taken too soon.  Her chest laid still, no flickers of life or her usual innocence remaining in her bosom, a surefire sign that she was dead.

Every single soul who witnessed that heartbreaking scene looked at the miserable sight of Luna crying and crying while Alpha feared for the future.

His one mistake ruined so many lives. And he knew this guilt is forever going to eat him inside…

~✿>•<✿~

Days passed but the dreadful attacks never stopped, the same thing continued to happen, death, blood, dread, fear.

Until that one day…

~✿>•<✿~

BLACKROSE PACK

The palace was a mess, everyone was running here and there meanwhile Luna was with the children. Jungkook was 1 year and few months old and the same goes for her daughter, Jihyun.

The other children were clung to her in fear while they watched the maids searching everywhere.

Alpha jeon came running to Luna as Luna grabbed his hand looking at him with worry, "What happened?" He asked cupping her face.

"Martha is missing!" Luna answered.

Every single corner of the pack was searched Alpha Jeon even searched the neighborhood packs but there was no sign of his brother's mate.

LOCKHEART PACK

"What's going to happen now?"

One second passed, two seconds passed, three seconds passed. Guilt was eating and pestering him inside continuously.

A fire burned in his mind and throat. Remorse hit him like a sledgehammer. Luna came forward struggling but she knew that Alpha needed her.

As soon as alpha settled the children on the bed he lost it, dropped to his knees he cried not even once thinking about how vulnerable he looked. Luna came closer and hugged him, Alpha's head resting on her shoulder, "Not just Minseok and my daughter, I'm a culprit of the whole wolf community! Tell me what I'm supposed to do?" He mumbled crying in the crook of her neck.

"SHE'S BLESSED TO BE THE MATE OF ALMIGHTY BLOOD MOON KING! But my one mistake, no, no, my incredible sin ruined it all!" Alpha cried whereas, Luna silently shedding tears not knowing what to say.

"What I did! Hana was right I'm the worst Alpha!" Alpha sobbed pulling away.

"N-no dear calm down!" Luna tried comforting him.

"Think about it, she's forbidden to have a mate and destined to be Blood moon King's mate at the same time! There's no way it's going to end well! Once they find each other…" He paused.

"Between time and space, there's only one end and that is DEATH!" Alpha was unable to think about anything and the future he imagined was not helping his condition at all.

"I'm a murderer, I'm such a cruel person, I even choked my daughter's happiness...NO ONE WILL EVER FORGIVE ME!" Alpha clutched onto Luna's figure more.

Luna kissed him to calm him down and then cupped his face, "Pay for it then...Make her the strongest female wolf ever, train her the same as your son!" Luna paused looking at her little daughter.

"Make her capable to bear the pain and fight over it! FIND THE CURE! PAY FOR IT!"

UNKNOWN'S POV

"What a pleasant surprise Alpha Kim." I let out before folding the letter. This is going to be fun for sure, finally, I got something that I wanted, something which is going to help me a lot.

"FOR SURE NO ONE WILL EVER FORGIVE YOU!" I sarcastically laughed.

"But I'm thankful..." I paused to take a look at the folded letter in my hands, "THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING SUCH A STIGMA, MY LORD."

I laughed heartedly, imagining the beautiful win I'm going to have or should I say is waiting for me!

Poor soul...

People are right...

Whether the mistake is done knowingly or unknowingly...

Repentance is a must...

Be it a king or a beggar, God leaves none...

But can God be so cruel?
