Luna on The Run I Stole the Alphas Son

Chapter 70

Even when her brother breaks down and sobs, Elena remains standing tall and dignified. Her hand grasps his shoulder as she tugs him closer. She turns, leading him to his seat. Elena’s face is expressionless. Her face is a mask of stoicism as she kept her emotions in check. Despite the tears threatening to spill, her jaw is set in determination, and her gaze is distant, as if she is looking far away from the present moment.

I know what she is doing. She is placing her own emotions on the back burner in order to remain present for her family and pack. She remains composed and gives her brother the support he needs at this time while neglecting that she needs it herself.

It is almost impossible to believe that it has already been a week since the explosion. As I look around the room filling with our packs and friends, the sadness of who everyone has lost begins to sink in a little deeper. Even though they’re gone, their memory lives on in all our hearts–a reminder of what Louise had done for her children. Even in death, she still managed to bless us with her love, leaving behind her daughter and my son, whom I will cherish forever.

I take a deep breath and try my best to compose myself as more family and friends arrive. Everyone is quiet in reflection as they embrace Elena, offering their condolences.

Just like the past week, she slips effortlessly into a facade of being okay, when I know she is anything but. I notice how her hands shake, and how she tries her best to steady them when someone speaks, telling those present to switch their phones off and take a seat or stand where they’re out of the way in aisles.

The service begins, and I can feel my heart break as I watch Elena struggle with her emotions. There is no doubt that this loss has changed our lives forever

I step forward and wrap my arms around her in a tight embrace, feeling the tremors of emotion that ripple through her body as the last of our guests enter

head turn to look for someone with a friendly face for Derrick, I watch her swallow and glance at Luke. No one rises to give a eulogy for Derrick, and I know Elena didn’t have one planned, so I am surprised when once again Elena rises. Murmurs break out as they wait for her anger or heartache, but Elena is a pillar of strength as she takes the podium and speaks for the one man
