Chapter 25: Punishment and a discussion with the Moon Goddess

{Andrew}

I turned around and looked at Trinity. "Are you sure you want to do that? A lot of victims have a hard time standing up to their abusers let alone have the guts to torture them! You don't have to do this."

Trinity snorted. "Oh please Dad, you do realize I've killed people before right? And since these two Alpha's decided to attack me the way they did, I'm going to have so much fun killing them very slowly. And if they don't want to shift while they're dying, that's fine by me! I'll just take their fur and turn it into a fur coat! Or maybe I'll make a fur rug instead?"

My jaw dropped. It dropped because of how much in awe I was at Trinity being so willing to confront her attackers. I composed myself, "Alright then if you say so. Guards!" I motioned to the same Guard that I talked to earlier.

"Yes, your highness?" The Guard asked.

"Take whatever silver that poisoned these two Alpha's with and double it!" I ordered, "I wanna see how well they hold up under the torture Trinity's about to do!"

The Guard grinned. "Yes, your highness!"

The Guard left and returned a few minutes later and handed me a couple of syringes. I dismissed the guard and gave the two Alpha's a sinister smile. "Last chance you two, shift or I'll make sure to let Trinity turn your fur into either a fur coat or a nice fur rug. If you ask me I think being turned into a fur rug or fur coat would be rather humiliating even if you're dead."

I guess they wanted their dignity intact after they died so they shifted. Trinity pouted, "Aww but I wanted to poison them!" She looked at me. "Oh well, exactly where are we taking them for their torture?"

I gave her a wicked grin. "Follow me!" I motioned for one of the Guards to grab the two Alpha's and dragged them to the torture chamber. "This is where the torture of our enemies is done most of the time."

I kept my wicked grin when Trinity had a wicked grin of her own on her face and she had a twinkle in her eye. To tell the truth, I was glad that I wasn't on the receiving end of Trinity's torture.

"Anyway," Trinity said, "Let's begin these two morons punishment shall we?"

I nodded and I couldn't stop grinning at my daughter's willingness to torture her enemies at all cost! To me that's exactly how a person of Royalty is supposed to react if they get assaulted. I mean she already put Prince Eric in his place at that introduction party and in my eyes she would make a fine ruler one day. I say ruler one day because I know what the Moon Goddess has in store for Trinity and her husband Tyler. What I don't understand is why Trinity got attacked like this.

The Moon Goddess herself has told me that everything she has planned out for Trinity will happen for a reason. But I wonder what was the reason for Trinity getting attacked?

Trinity turned to me. "So what do we use to torture other killing their wolves?"

I pointed to a table that had all sorts of torture instruments. The table had anything from scalpels to clamps and my personal favorite silver knife that's designed to torture werewolves to keep them from healing fast while they're being tortured.

Um… Our daughter is waaaay too excited to do this! I'd say she's lost her mind but at the same time I don't blame her! I wonder if she's going to suggest chopping their dicks off and feeding it to them? Nick chuckled.

Trinity surprised me when she did exactly what Nick thought she would do but with a twist.

"I think it would be a good idea to cut their dicks off but instead of feeding them their dicks, I want to eat them for my next meal, along with their hearts," Trinity said.

My jaw dropped when I heard that and I almost fell over in shock when she said that.

Trinity grinned and gave a sinister laugh, "I'm just messing with you! Yeah no way in hell would I want their dicks anywhere near me after what they did. Normally I would wait to chop someone up until after I kill them, but I say we chop them up while they're still alive! This is going to be so much fun!"

That statement sent chills down my spine because of how cold and sadistic her voice was when she said that remark. Then I smiled. "You know you just sent a chill down my spine the way you said that?"

She smiled proudly. "I did? That's good because that's what the intended effect was for." She turned attention back to the table with the torture instruments on it. "Hmm, what body part should I chop off first?"

"You know your husband better be thankful he has you for a mate!" One of the Alpha's exclaimed.

She turned around and raised an eyebrow. "Oh and why's that?"

"Because you're every Alpha's dream mate! And you just had to choose the weakest Alpha ever! It's such a shame because you can do better!" The same Alpha said in a matter of fact way.

"Oh really Alpha Harry?" Trinity snarled, "My husband's the weakest Alpha? I think you guys abducted me while you made sure he would sleep through it just means you think you're no match for him! Which would definitely be the case considering he's the Alpha of the Steel Armor pack! Not to mention he's been doing strength training with my Grandfather who is the King." She took no more than two strides over to Alpha Harry and slapped him so hard that I was surprised that his neck didn't break! "And I don't appreciate you talking about my husband like that! You know why I chose him because he is my mate and you aren't. You're just jealous that you're not my mate!"

Alpha Harry scoffed. "Okay you're right, I'll admit it I'm jealous. But I still think you could've done better."

"Okay I've decided what body part I'm going to chop off first!" Trinity sneered.

"And what might that be?" I asked.

"I think we should cut out this Alpha's tongue," Trinity said.

"Actually I think you might want to do that last," I said.

"Why?" Trinity asked.

"Because we want to get answers from them first," I answered.

"Like?" Trinity asked after raising an eyebrow.

"Who else they're with or who they're working for," I replied.

Trinity scoffed, "Do you think I care about who they're working for?"

"Honestly, you should care because then we can take out the threat in case someone else comes to finish the job," I said as calmly as I could.

She rolled her eyes. "Alright fine we'll work on getting answers from them first and then we start the real torture!"

I blinked. "The real torture?"

She gave me a sinister smile. "You'll see!"

I didn't expect her to be so brutal after we got the needed information. According to Alpha Harry they were working together with a she-wolf named Sasha who was working with a God named No Name. The deal was that they capture and sleep with Trinity and give her over to No Name. In return, No Name would give their packs more protection in case a war broke out after they assaulted Trinity.

After we got necessary information from Alpha Harry and Alpha Luke, Trinity started to cut them in certain places so that it made it so they couldn't get up and run away. She toyed with them a couple of times by unchaining them and encouraging them to run. But when they tried to run they failed and she chained them back up and said that she did that to show them that they messed with the wrong woman!

At one point in Trinity's torture I had to step out and empty the contents of my stomach. I heard one of the Guards say, "Wow, that bad?"

I nodded. "Yup, I think this attack on Trinity created a monster! I think I'll stay out here until she's done."

The Guard chuckled, "Yeah I kind of don't blame her because she was attacked in the worst way possible." Then he switched to serious mode. "Are you going to let her kill them?"

Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more.

I nodded. "Yes I already got permission from the Royal Court to go ahead to execute them."

The guard's eyes went wide. "Seriously? Look I know they did something despicable like that but I don't think they-"

I cut him off, "Hmm I wonder what would happen if the Royal Court found out a Palace Guard sympathizes with criminals?"

"I'm sorry Your Highness, please forgive me," the Guard quickly said. "It won't happen again."

"Good see that it doesn't," I said with authority.

"Yes, Your Highness," The Guard said.

I almost laughed when he looked away from me after his face turned red. But I decided against laughing and kept a straight face.

After a moment or two I finally decided to go back into the room I braced myself for whatever wreckage Trinity might have caused in her wake. When I entered it wasn't a pretty sight. Most of the two Alpha's body parts were dumped in two piles on the floor. Their intestines were hung up on the wall above their now chopped up bodies. Their heads were sitting on the table that had the torture instruments Trinity used and they had their eyes cut out as if they pumpkins that had been carved out for Halloween. I have no idea where Trinity put their eyes and I wasn't going to ask because my stomach was already weak at the grisly sight before me.

I gulped trying to keep my composure the best I could. I croaked, "So Trinity, nice handiwork…"

Trinity burst into sadistic laughter, "Why thank you but you look a little pale, are you afraid of me now?"

I shook my head. "Nope, my stomach is a little queasy because of your… handiwork, but if anything I'm proud of you!"

What I said was the truth. A lot of times when there is a victim of sexual assault they're too scared to confront their attackers let alone exact vengeance on them! Alpha Harry was right, Trinity is every Alpha's dream mate! The fact that even a God wants her says something. It's unfortunate that Trinity got attacked because of the wrong people coveting her.

There was one thing I noticed though, Trinity's voice sounded different. I couldn't put my finger on it but I had heard that voice before. I made a mental note to talk to Tyler about that later.

I thought about hugging Trinity but when I saw that she was covered in blood I decided against it and just gave her a pat on the back instead.

She chuckled, "I get it, I'm covered in blood and I probably stink so I'm going to go take a shower and chill out for the rest of the day. Torturing those two Alpha's was a lot of fun!" She turned to leave but then she paused. "Can I make a request?"

"Depends on what it is," I said. "What is it?"

"I want all of the body parts from these Alphas put in separate boxes and sent to their packs. There's two piles for a reason, the one on the right is Alpha Harry's body parts and the one on the left is Alpha Luke's body parts. Same thing with the heads Alpha Harry's head is the one closest to the body parts and Alpha Luke's head is the one next to the torture instruments," Trinity answered. "And I want to write a personal letter to their packs warning them that if they decide to start a war with my pack to avenge their fallen Alpha, I will kill every single pack member. No one will be spared."

I gulped, "Alright I'll do my best to make it happen."

"Thanks," Trinity said. "From now, I'm going to make sure I don't break rule number two of combat anymore."

I paused. "Trinity last time I checked even a Celestial needs to sleep. It's not your fault that this happened. You didn't break a rule of combat because you weren't fighting! You were sleeping so it doesn't count. Don't beat yourself up about this okay?"

She gave me a wary look and after a moment she nodded. "Alright I'll try my best not to beat myself up. But I'm not sure if I can."

I softened my gaze and smiled. "Don't worry you have family and friends to help you overcome this every step of the way."

She nodded again and then turned around and left.

When I talked to Tyler about why Trinity's voice sounded different and he told me that was actually her wolf, Danger taking over and Trinity's gone. That information threw me for a loop and I wondered if that's why she was so vicious about torturing Alpha Harry and Alpha Luke the way that she did. But then again, Tyler also told me about how she tortured the hunters that were sent after her when she was in High School. According to the information I found out even if Trinity was still in the driver's seat she would've done just as bad or worse. Although I did indirectly have a hand in that by pushing the hunters in her line of fire.

So I asked for an audience with the Moon Goddess to figure out if she planned this or not. If she did plan this then why would she plan something so cruel? When I finally got an audience with the Moon Goddess I tried to keep my composure the best I possibly could.

"Ah, yes Prince Andrew it's so nice to see you again!" The Moon Goddess ran to me and gave me a hug that I did not return. She let go of me and frowned. "What's wrong?"

I grit my teeth and clenched my fits. "Why?"

She tilted her head and gave me a confused look. "What are you talking about?"

"Did you plan for Trinity to be sexually assaulted by two Alpha's and a she-wolf?" I said.

"W-w-what?!" The Moon Goddess said. Judging by the look of shock on her face I calmed down when I realized that she didn't plan this for Trinity.

I sighed, "You heard that right, Trinity was sexually assaulted by two Alpha's and a she-wolf named Sasha. To add to that Trinity's wolf named Danger is in the driver's seat at the moment and Trinity is gone!"

The Moon Goddesses face with white at first and then her shock turned into anger. "No Name that bastard! I swear one of these days he's not going to be able to weasel his way out of the death penalty for his crimes! Because he's done this shit more than once and he's even killed people to get away with his crimes. Not to mention he has people on the High Council who sympathize with him for whatever the reason. I suspect they were paid off. I just got to figure out who was paid off."

My eyes went wide. "Are you saying that the IronClad Covens God is behind all the stuff that happened to Trinity?"

She nodded. "Oh yeah not to mention that guy has even r*ped a couple of my daughters! I swear I want him to pay and in the worst possible way!" She gave an evil smile. "I have an idea of who I can punish him with! And as far as Trinity's soul being gone I can pull some strings to get her out of Limbo in the After Realm."

My jaw dropped. "You mean to tell the Trinity's soul is dead!"

"Temporarily," the Moon Goddess said. "Usually when that happens it means that she's been poisoned. Now tell me Prince Andrew was she poisoned?"

I nodded. "According to blood tests done on her, yes she was poisoned with a mix of silver, copper and iron. It was meant to poison her Gate Wielder Being, her Shadow and her wolf! But for some reason it only poisoned her and only weakened Gate Wielder Being, her Shadow and her wolf's powers."

"Interesting," The Moon Goddess said. "But don't worry I will make sure her soul gets put back in the right place. I'm afraid this new trauma must've been the straw that broke the camel's back. She has been through other things before but this extreme reaction never happened to my knowledge."

"You've been keeping tabs on her?" I asked.

She nodded. "Yes I've just been really busy as of late and hadn't been able to check in with my scouts."

"Well she's in my kingdom at the moment," I said.

"Good, keep her in your kingdom for now until I can put her human soul back in the right place," The Moon Goddess commanded.

"Alright then," I said. "Anything else?"

She shook her head. "Nope, that will be all for now. I'll see you around."

I turned around and left after that.

{The Moon Goddess}

Once I learned the news about what happened to Trinity I was pissed! Actually I was beyond pissed! I immediately asked for an audience with the High Council. When I got to speak to them, I said, "Looks like No Name is at it again!"

Most of the members on the High Council gasped and one of the High Council members glared at me.

"Exactly what did No Name do for you to have a grievance against him this time?" The High Council member who was glaring at me growled.

"Hmm I wonder are you the High Council member that's been paid off to help No Name weasel out of his punishments every time he commits a crime?" I said.

Just like that the rest of the High Council members turned to glare at the High Council member who was glaring at me.

"High Council Member Maddie," said one of the High Council Members, "We'll have to have a word with you later." He turned his attention to me. "Please continue. I want to hear what No Name has done this time."

I cleared my throat. "Yes No Name sent two Alpha's and a she-wolf named Sasha to assault a princess of the Celestial Kingdom named Princess Trinity. I'm sure you've heard her."

I looked around the table we were sitting at and smiled when I saw every single High Council Member's eyes go wide. This confirmed that they knew exactly who I was talking about.

"S-she's the Celestial that you created to become the High Ruler of this realm!" Another High Council Member exclaimed.

I nodded. "Exactly! And of course No Name just had to go and covet her enough to have her attacked! To make matters worse Trinity's soul is now in Limbo because she was poisoned."

"So what do you want us to do?" Another High Council Member asked.

"I want No Name to be punished this time and I need access to Limbo so I can return Trinity's soul back to her body," I responded.

The same High Council Member nodded. "Okay, we will give you access to Limbo to retrieve Trinity's soul and as far as No Name getting punished you know the protocol for that."

"Yes sir I do," I said.

"I have an idea!" Another High Council Member perked up.

The High Council Member who spoke earlier said, "What is it, High Council Member Alex?"

"Well since No Name sent people to attack Celestial Princess Trinity then Celestial Princess Trinity should be the one to punish him don't you think?" High Council Member Alex said.

Every High Council Member including High Council Member Maddie nodded in agreement. I smiled at this idea for a punishment. As a matter of fact I loved the idea! No Name gets killed by the very woman he coveted! That's perfect! I clapped my hands together with glee. "That's a perfect way to punish No Name!"

High Council Member Alex smiled. "Okay then, we'll proceed with protocols and give you access to Limbo to retrieve Celestial Princess Trinity's soul. Is there anything else you want to talk about?"

I shook my head. "Nope, that was it! Thank you for your time, High Council."

High Council Member Alex nodded. "Good then I think this meeting is over." He looked around the table. "Is that fine with everyone?"

Every High Council Member including High Council Member Maddie nodded in agreement. With that, I left the room feeling like I was on cloud nine. No Name was going to pay for his crimes finally and I'm going to make sure that Trinity is strong enough to face him. Even if I have to lend her some of my strength to punish him.
