2nd Chance

Cursed

I grunted as I hit the ground, rocks and dirt burying themselves into my knees and palms.

The pain though, was nothing compared to what my heart felt as this moment.

"You sicken me, and now you will pay for your crimes." the guard growled behind me.

The crowd around me cheered while some of them cursed me, even spit on me.

I could hear their anger through the pack link as they said horrid things to me.

"Traitor."

"Murderer."

"Selfish Bitch."

"Stupid Cunt."

That went on and on until a hush fell over them instantly.

I knew in that moment KY had taken his place at the podium.

I dared a peak up at him. He stood there looking glorious as ever as he looked out toward the angry crowd of people. He was surrounded by the elders. Two on each side of him. And to his right were his Luna, were I was supposed to be seated was Elmira. His Mistress.

Having a fated mate with a mistress was the most god awful pain I think anyone could ever feel aside from losing a child.

I had done both and they ran very closely but I would have chosen my baby any day over KY.

His sweet face flitted in my mind. His chubby cheeks, silver eyes, and headful of black hair. He was the spitting image of KY. The rightful air to the Alpha position.

I could still recall the pain I felt, the fear that ran through me the morning I found him cold and blue in his crib.

After his death KY and I had drifted apart. I couldn't look at him. He reminded me to much of our boy.

He however, found comfort in another's arms. The pain I felt when they made love almost masked the pain I was already experiencing from losing my child so at the time I welcomed it.

It became more and more frequent. I would spend the nights curled up in the bed feeling like I was being stabbed in the abdomen. Every morning I woke with new bruises xovering the bottom of my belly.

My wolf has retreated to the point we're I doubt she will ever return. One person can only take so much and she endured it all trying to take the brunt of it from me. She endured it until it broke her.

"We have come here today for the trial of Katniass Reann Michaels, who has been charged with attempted murder of her Alpha and Fated Mate Kyran Dragos." his cold silver eyes landed on me.

"Katniass Michaels how do you plea?"

I raised my head looking him straight in the eye, squaring my shoulders. If I was to go, I would go with dignity.

"Not Guilty." I replied loudly.

Gasp and growls sounded through the crowd but the gavel sounded quieting them.

"Let us hear the evidence against her." KY said aloud.

I knew what the evidence was. I knew someone had set me up, and there was no use in getting my feeble hopes up thinking I would make it out of this alive.

I peered out of the corner of my eye at the b***h in my seat. She smirked at me. She was f*****g evil and knew exactly what she was doing.

The trial went by in a blur. The doctor, and herbologist testified, as well as witnesses to by outburst the day before were I had started publicly to KY that I wouldn't spit on his grave should it catch on fire.

Of course I ment it as a metaphor, but whatever they could use against me they would.

"As Alpha of the Twilight Haze pack , and the majority of elders in agreement I find you Katniass Michaels Guilty of treason and sentence you to death to be carried out immediately. Do you have any last words?"

I looked up at him with as much evil and hate as I could muster. I let all of my physical and mental pain flow out of me.

"For condemning an innocent to death, a child of the goddess, and you're Luna, I curse you Alpha Kai and your entire pack. May hell rain down on all of you." I spat on the altar were they would take my life.

The crowd gasped as fesr gripped them. If werewolves were anything it was superstitious, so having me curse them was the worst thing I could of done to them at this moment.

I felt rough hand push me down so that my head lay on the large rock that smelt of metallic and death.

I looked up into the eyes of my executioner, my alpha, my mate! He held the ceremonial sword over his head and our eyes locked.

"May the goddess make you pay for this." I spat at him just before I seen the silver s***h down towards me and everything went black.
