ZEDKIEL.

A cool wind blows past me as I stare down at the tomb before me with a heavy heart. The funeral was yesterday for all those who passed and for our king…

I stare at the engravings on the tombstone. ‘HERE LIES THE BODY OF A JUST KING, A LOVING FATHER, AND A RESPECTED ALLY. SUPREME ALPHA AMBROSE VILKAS’

Father…

Four days have passed since our return and there is a lot to do and a lot that we have already done, but we all needed time to mourn those we have lost.

We have suffered, and we have all lost someone that we loved. They will not be easily forgotten.

I crouch down before the tombstone and look at the flowers that adorn the ground around the grave.

Father… I wish I could have told you this when you were alive, but… I want you to know that I appreciated everything you did for me. For the trust, you kept in me. Thank you for treating me as a person and not as a monster… I love you, Father…

I close my eyes as I allow my sorrow to wash through me. I lower my head, Maryka and Danciana… they will pay for this… as will the rest of the bastards who were in on this.

The court members have all been stripped of their titles, and those who were not already in prison were being thoroughly investigated.

Ragnar, Chasyn, and Alcazer stood by Evangeline, and I would always be grateful for that…

Hearing footsteps, I look up, only to see Alcazer, but seeing me he’s instantly about to move away. Ever since I killed Odette, he has not forgiven me and why should he? I killed his wife and was not held accountable for it either.

“Alcazer!” I call, stopping him from walking away. “I’m leaving anyway.”

He turns back and, frowning, makes his way over to the grave. It’s obvious he was here visiting her grave…

I step back as he looks down at Dad’s grave, it’s clear he’s been avoiding me and although he has respected Evangeline, he has made no attempt to hide his hatred towards me.
