[ALPHA EVANDER’s Point of View]
I couldn’t believe I buried Charlie Wakeham in the center of my courtyard.
It felt unreal. Maybe I was just imagining it, and it didn’t really happen. I wanted to think it never happened that the Alpha King was dead. But it did. The father figure I had since my biological father died. I couldn’t believe I just buried him here in my very house. I buried the man who was with me fighting so many wars for so many decades.
He was gone. The Alpha King was dead, and the Snakewood Palace had fallen.
And Holly, my Holly...
When we returned to the manor, everyone froze. All their worried eyes were on the strange cloth bag I held, and their faces ashen as I explained everything. Kian was so terrified he fell to his knees. My body trembled, and I didn’t know how I was still standing up. Alec must have noticed it and took my unconscious wife from me. That’s when my body collapsed, and Mel and Sheiyan went to help me get inside.
