It took almost seven days for Dax and Mirella to finally arrive in the capital city. Because of the several tens of caskets that were being pulled by these huge horse carts, it took them almost twice the amount of time to complete this journey.

Apart from the first yet comparatively smaller cart that held two coffins, which obviously belonged to the two alphas, there were these other few huge carts that had the caskets of the several warriors that died in that battle. But everyone alive was on foot. Even Mirella chose to walk with Dax, in silent yet solemn reverence.

Abby and Alan personally received Dax and Mirella, who looked beyond dispirited, making Abby dread their explanation.

Behind the queen and the rest were people from the Red River pack and the Silver Moon pack.

Two days earlier, which was three days after her confrontation with the former king and Neesha, Abby received several people from both the packs, who followed their lunas for the two alphas' burial. Because of the circumstances they had died, Abby agreed with Alan's suggestion to bury Samuel and James' bodies according to royal protocol.

Abby let Alyssa take care of the arrangements for the two women and the others' stay in the palace, while they all waited for the royal gamma and the witch to return to the capital city.

The said women were now crying again silently as they rushed to their respective mate's coffins.

On the other hand, the queen was about to probe the royal gamma when he bowed to her, but seeing the look of unmistakable guilt on his face made her swallow her questions.

"Alan, send the warriors back first," Abby told the royal beta before she turned to Deion. "Shift these caskets to the underground basement."

And then she saw as the guards unload and carry the coffins one by one to the basement, where they would keep them until the burial.

Even after looking at all the coffins, there was no change in her expression. She still held her head high as she asked Dax and Mirella to go to their rooms in the palace, while the warriors that made it back alive left slowly.
