The Lost Princess Of The Lycans Chapter 175: Day Of Reckoning

King Rays POV

After making sure that she was ready for the trials, we went and checked on the pups. The nannies were changing and dressing them. I told the servants to set up the hall by the old orphanage. I was surprised that it did not burn. It had four chairs on the stage, and the prisoners would be brought in from the north door and taken out the south door. The executions will take place this evening.

I told Sarah we would be dealing with this most of the day. I could feel Sarah's emotions. They were in chaos. The weather outside showed how she was feeling. It was going from hot to cold. I needed to calm her down. But how would I do that? She had every right to her emotions, but she needed to get control of them.

She sat in a rocking chair and picked up Isabella. As she rocked Isabella, I felt her calm down, which was soothing for her. I mind-linked Caleb.

" Remove Sarah's chair and put in a rocking chair," I stated.

"OK," he responded.

I knew this confused him, but I will explain it later. There was no hurry to get things underway. I let Sarah rock the pups as long as she wanted. She now had Raymond in her lap, rocking him. He was smiling and cooing at her. Isabella was getting changed by one of the nannies. After they finished changing her, they brought her back to Sarah. She was enjoying being with them. It was starting to get late.

We needed to get some breakfast and get things done. We needed to get through at least twenty people. The majority of them were sentenced to death. The crimes ranged from murder to rape. I would let Caleb handle crimes such as stealing and other things. I would watch Sarah's reactions closely to those brought before us. The ones that were in jail for rape were going to have horrible punishments.

Roland got off easy for what he did to Sarah. But the ones that had not yet been to justice would pay dearly. I have no idea how many years she endured the abuse. She was forced into slavery at the age of twelve. She was being abused the day I found her. My blood was starting to boil just thinking about it. I felt angry, and my fists were opening and closing. I walked out of the room.

I did not want to upset Sarah and cause her more issues than she was having, and I also did not want her to think I was mad at her. After taking several breaths to calm down, I returned to the room.

" Baby, I hate to break this up, but we need to go," I stated.

She had a sad look on her face, but we needed to get this done. So that we could have time to relax, she slowly got up from the chair, kissed the pups, and put them on the floor. She slowly walked to the door. She would have been standing in place if she had walked any slower. I had Mike make up some plates to go. The car was waiting in front, and it was a short drive to the building where we would be holding the trials.

I got out of the car first, then Sarah. Caleb and Chrissy were already inside. There were multiple guards if anyone tried to rescue the people on trial. Everyone was going to be protected. There have been people who have tried to rescue people who were sentenced to death.

We got into the building. The rocking had been put in place.

" I had them change out chard for you, baby," I stated.

Sarah had a smile on her face. I wanted her to be comfortable and secure. Caleb and I sat in the middle, Chrissy on his right and Sarah on my left. There were guards lined against the wall. Nothing was in the room except a chair in the middle. We usually have public trials, but due to the circumstances, these were going to be private until the execution. Those would be public. It helped to deter people from doing the same thing.

I felt sorry for the families of the prisoners that they had to witness their deaths. Especially their mates. They would be hurt in the process of them being executed. I knew only two had mates, but their mates rejected them and returned to their clans. The first prisoner was brought in. He was charged with rape and murder. I looked at Sarah, and she had a blank stare. I leaned over to her and whispered.

" Is this someone who has hurt you?" I asked.

" No, he is not," she responded.

I nodded my head at Caleb to proceed. He read him his charges. The charges were murder, and the sentence was death. Then, the second guy was brought in. I looked over at Sarah, and she was terrified. I did not even have to ask her. I knew by the look on her face that he was one person that had hurt her.

" What is your name?" I asked.

" Ethan," he responded.

He glared at Sarah.

" Do you know the queen?" I asked.

" She is a whore nothing more," he responded.

I immediately jumped up and had him by the throat faster than lightning.

" How dare you speak about your queen like that," I stated.

My nails were expanding into the skin on his neck. He was choking, and I could feel the blood running through my fingers.

" Your Majesty, you need to stop," Caleb said.

He had come up beside me and placed his hand on my arm. I looked at him. Then I let go of the man. He was bleeding from his throat.

" Now you have one chance to admit to your crimes," I stated.

He refused to admit to anything. I had lost all patience with him.

" You will be tied to a post beat with a silver whip, and then you will be quartered and then beheaded," I stated.

All the color drained from his face. He dropped to his knees and started to beg to be put to death. I think he was the person that would help whip Sarah.

" Queen Sarah, please forgive me," he begged.

She did not even respond to him. She stared right through him. I had my hand on her shoulder, reassuring her that everything was OK. The other man that his mate had rejected. He was brought in next again. Sarah was terrified. I gave him the same sentence as the first guy. He did not apologize but instead said she deserved what happened to her, which sent me into a fit of rage. That was his mistake because I changed his sentence to go through a gauntlet of lycans. Then he would be whipped and quartered and then beheaded.

I was sure he would be dead by the time he got through the gauntlet. If he were alive by some miracle, then he would be in agony and near death. But he would feel it, and he would be tortured just like he tortured Sarah. Then, Leeanne was brought in. Sarah jumped up and walked down onto the floor with her.
