A hush rests over the chapel.

Rows and rows of mournfully dressed pack members and sympathizers from other packs have gathered. The highest ranked Alphas and Lunas, and other respected individuals in the society.

The entire hall is full to its maximum capacity. Everyone here is the top 1% on this side of the continent.

Except for the fact that there’s no one here who truly knew Laila.

No one here knows the things she loved or the things she hated. Her favorite food… how she preferred to wear her hair, her scent…

They’re all just here for the clout.

A pang of guilt creeps in, but I’m quick to suppress it. This is needed for public closure. It’s the only way to control the narrative or risk letting it slip out of our hands.

A Blackwood property was burnt to the ground and lives taken, right after the summit. The ranking of our pack will take a huge blow this season and Granddad’s doing the best he can to control the damage.

To bury the scandal before it grows out of hand. The other packs are already looking for every opportunity to swoop in, especially after I made that statement at the summit, handing over the title of CEO to Laila.

So far, word of that hasn’t spread yet. But I know it won’t be long till it does.

Before then, it’s necessary to see to it that the incident at the lake house has been well tied up and a privately held, but publicly known funeral is our best bet.

My eyes scan the rows again. Kael is nowhere to be seen.

Of course. The bastard never misses an opportunity to act out. Even now.

Fury curls within my chest. This is just how much he valued Laila. Next to nothing.

All along, she was just his tool to get to me. And now that he’s lost that tool, he can’t even be bothered to attend her funeral.

It’s proven to me beyond doubt that Liam… that little boy, he might truly have been mine.

And maybe all of this is Kael’s way of keeping me from finding out the truth. Maybe this is his way of making sure Laila would never come back to me.

I’m drawn out of my thoughts as Sarah hooks an arm through my elbow.

To bury a scandal, the easiest way is a bigger scandal. It’s something my Granddad always said, and it’s proven once again with how Sarah’s escaped prosecutions.

With the fire and death of Kael Blackwood’s family, Sarah’s ties to the Bluewater pack was soon forgotten.

With the public distracted, the law enforcement quickly buried the case to curry favor from the Blackwoods.

We’re at a place in society where there are things we no longer have to set in motion ourselves. They happen all on their own to avoid our wrath.

I don’t know if I’m relieved it’s out of the way or frustrated at the idea.

Granddad also couldn’t be bothered with her anymore. She’s silently crawled right back to her place as Luna in the past month, and now she’s sitting beside me in the front row, clinging to me and sobbing quietly.

Like she thinks I’ve also forgotten that she sold information on my company to Bluewater Pack in exchange for shares that I refused to give her in Blackwood Co.

I suppress the frown creeping up. Sarah never liked Laila, I know that much.

I also know now that she’s not the genuine and pure woman I used to think she was. Hence it doesn’t even surprise me that she’s acting out the devastated sister–in–law.

“Daddy,” A soft voice calls.

I turn to glance at Kelly, curled up to my other side. Her eyes are wide and teary and she’s staring at the gigantic frame bearing Laila and Liam’s picture, hung up at the front of the hall.

“Is…aunt Laila and little Liam… gone?” She asks, her tone trembling.

I wince visibly. My heart feels tight.

Aunt Laila…

Had I not made an error in judgement three years ago, Laila would still have been Kelly’s mother.

And maybe Liam would have been raised in a better family… with a more deserving father.

My fists clench, anger surging through my veins as Vincent’s report echoes in my mind again.

It had all been lies. Sarah had set Laila up to get rid of her and I’d fallen for it.

But somewhere deep down, I know I can’t blame anyone but myself. Laila had told me that night that she knew I always wanted to get rid of her and was just waiting for an excuse,

She was right. Between the woman who knew my weaknesses…who knew exactly why I wasn’t qualified to be Alpha, and my mate who only looked at me with love, adoration and admirations, I’d made the choice I believed was best.

And that choice led us here.

I

say nothing to Kelly. Because I don’t have an answer to her question.
