Chapter 28

Lazarus POV

Today I will bury my wife. I cannot bring myself to get out of bed. I remember the council coming to remove her. I laid there screaming as they pulled her body from my arms. The queen has to be buried within 24 hours. What a stupid rule!

My mother is gone. My beautiful wife is gone. I am left all alone in this world to raise the babies they both gave their lives to save. Now, what do I do? Just a short time ago, I was picking her up, bringing her to have a better life. I should have refused to marry her. I should have forced her transition against her will. NO NO NO! I did the right thing for her. I gave her peace.

Luanne is bringing Willow’s siblings to the funeral. She has assured everyone she will not cause any problems. Maybe she has changed. She has been on her best behavior since she came back from her time on the run. Maybe she learned her lesson.
