The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 823

"Silence,” Devin said and Leo banged the gavel making everyone to be quiet so that I can pronounce his judgement.

“I hereby sentence you all to death by hanging in your various packs. The alpha title and office will be stripped away from your families,” I stated. And that was my judgment. I knew it would be a sight for the pack members to watch but it was necessary and it will act as a deterrent to others.

Other people were brought forward that played an active role in the uprising. Mostly Yuri’s cult members, including Ighor and Melvin.

We figured most of them had no choice so those that did not move against me deliberately, like Inkabod, were sentenced to serve jail time and would be released to integrate with the world in the future. Although I meant to kill everyone, we could not bring ourselves to do it knowing that these people acted the way they did because they had no choice.

Finally, it was time to sentence Yuri. The moment he was brought to the floor people outside began to boo him. It was the moment everyone was waiting for. To see what would become of the man that shook our world and almost ruined everything.

Leo stood and began to read his crimes. The man had no remorse in his eyes. He sat there on the floor, laughing like a madman. Bryce had broken his legs again so he could not walk. The man had indeed lost it.

After Leo finished listing his crimes, he asked to speak.

Yuri laughed and then looked at me.

“Your lineage and everything that has to do about the pathetic crown on your head is a sham. The Stepanovs will always be the true heirs. You might end me, but the greed and malice in your bloodline will surely be your undoing,” He said and looked at everyone around.

"It is amazing to see how you can all gather today for this. Where were your conscience and sense of duty, when Dimitri cheated Adrik? Where were your conscience and sense of duty, when Dimitri framed Adrik for treason and had us hunted down like animals and slaughtered? Where were all of you then?" He said and then looked at Erik.

“Having gone through the same things and suffered the same outcome, you dare to work against me, your brother? You dare to work with the enemy knowing victory would have been ours? You're a traitor," he said and Erik smiled at him.

“You stopped being family the day you sent Mikhail to murder Luis, the true heir, and you stopped being my blood the day you sent Mikhail to kill me. A world under your leadership will be stained with innocent blood and plagued with hardship. I have chosen well and sided with the real king,” Erik said letting his cousin know his conviction.

I could see tears in Yuri’s eyes. He was truly beaten and as he sat helplessly on the floor in tears I knew we had won.

No new villain was coming for us in the future, the madness would indeed end with him.

“Yuri Stepanov. I hereby sentence you to death. Unlike the others, your death will be slow and painful. It will give you time to reflect on all the evil you have committed and figure out if it was worth it. Your being would be cut away piece by piece until there is nothing left. Each cut agonising and painful ensuring the body is not buried in one place but scattered like a carcass all over, as you killed, burned, pillaged, and destroyed everyone and everything you came in contact with that refused to bow to your will," I said and promised.

“Although it will be death, I promise you it would not be quick,” I said and he was lifted by the men.

He wanted to speak when Bryce punched him and shifted his jaw with the punch.

We had wrapped up all that concerned Yuri and his cult; it was now time to reunite with our children and plan a wedding. I knew all the weddings won't take place in the north but I hoped they will agree to have it all in the estate so we won't have to pick and choose. They were all important to me and I would not want to miss any of them.
