Chapter 280
Putting my head down, I closed my eyes as I processed this. Passing out wasn’t an option but this time wasn’t near as many people as it was when I did it with Alpha Marc. At one point, Alec put his hand on my shoulder, trying to take some of the pain away but eventually, it faded and I was just left with a pounding headache.
“Thank you all for coming. If you could please proceed to the funeral, we can pay our respects.” Alec finished as I looked up at him. He was still holding my shoulder but looking at everyone.
As soon as he was done talking, they got up and silently walked out of the room. Most of everyone grabbed a flyer. We got up and followed everyone else out of the room and down the walkway. Where Black Moon had their funerals was more in hidden place along the tree line. We had to navigate a few hundred yards until we came up to it. All the bodies were laid out on a bed of wood and straw.
No one spoke as they found a seat and we made our way to the front. Jasper tried to hold the torch but wasn’t able to so his dad, Betal Andrew did it for him. For some reason, that felt more appropriate.
“Thank you all for coming. I understand there is a lot going on today. Please stay for a short while but you are free to leave after the burning begins.” Alec said. He walked around to talk to Andrew for a moment. Alec took a moment next to his dad and mom. He said his
final goodbyes before moving on to each person who died. There was so much turmoil in Alec as he spoke to his dad. He was angry he died. but part of him accepted it without question. His mother wasn’t as painful. I think it was because of her wolf. Alec knew it was soon after if one mate dies, the other follows. Saying he expected it feels wrong but they are happy together in their after life, noveldrama
“Each of these sacrifices lead to our victory. Alpha Marc… Luna Erin…
of their class. Fought with their hearts and was the best man they could be. I was proud of stand next to them on the battle field. Their ultimate sacrifice saved so many lives that it is not possible to count. It brought peace to our area of the world. Saved women and children from abuse in all forms and created a brighter future to our next generation. Luna Erin… mom. She was the sweetest soul. She had a way of turning dad’s abrasiveness into something sweet. She truly cared about each member and fought to make each life count. Finally, Alpha Marc. I owe him everything. He taught me to fight, that being a leader isn’t someone that just yells at people below them. A leader is someone who encourages, supports and stands beside his fighters. At the end of the day, due to situations out of his control, mistakes were made but that didn’t mean he lost his love for each person. He died trying to save his warriors. I was… am proud to call him my father and my alpha. May the Moon Goddess allow me to be half the alpha he was.”
Alec stepped aside and looked at Andrew. He shook his head no so Alec nodded for him to light the fire. Andrew did just as he was told. Starting with Alpha Marc, then Luna Erin until each person was
engulfed in flames. Alec sat down beside me and put his hand on my thigh. Wrapping my arm around his, I just rested my head against his shoulder.
After about ten minutes, people started to get up and leave. One by one, everyone made their way out and it was only us four left. Andrew finally left after Alpha Marc was unrecognizable.
Finally, Alec got up and moved each b*dy to their hole and covered them up. Most of it was done so it didn’t take too much man power to accomplish it. Jasper wanted to help but he was in no position to do anything. His face was looking better, less bruised and even was sitting up straighter.
