Chapter One Hundred and Ninety Eight

I watched as Aric’s casket was lowered into the ground.

All the memories were buried along with him. Guilt ate at me, knowing he shouldn’t be down there.

Many who knew Aric were also present. He had once been a beta to the Dawn pack, then a commander to the Nightshade Pack. He was loved by many, but the strangest thing about life was how fast people tend to move on.

Two hours later, everyone was gone, back to their lives. A few months from now, some would forget him. In a few years, others wouldn’t even remember that a man named Aric had once lived among us. He’d be just another tombstone like the rest. No one was ever truly too important–life always moved on.

I stood before Aric’s grave, eyes puffy and red, tears rolling down my cheeks, and Alexander stood beside me. His

eyes were on me.
