Sherry:
Ever since I found out that Graham's father had lost his children and that his wife had been admitted in critical condition, I knew Graham must have broken down.
Not because he was genuinely worried about the children, but because it probably reminded him of his own loss.
I knew it was risky for me to go in front of everyone at that time to comfort him, but it was necessary. At that moment, I knew he needed me. So I put every fear aside and went to see him.
When I arrived at the hospital, the atmosphere made it clear they had suffered a loss, the loss of their Alpha and a council leader's children.
There were no smiles on the doctors’ faces. Even if they wanted to smile, they would not. They had to appear sorrowful.
I reached the lobby and found out they had secured a separate room for Graham, his father, and his family. They were alone in one private lobby room.
His father was sitting on a comfortable sofa as if there were no life left in his body, his head turned to the side, his eyes blinking without any soul in them. Graham was sitting in front of him, lost in thought, while Kaylee stood beside him in tears.
"How could this have happened? It feels like we are cursed," she complained softly, placing a hand on his shoulder for comfort. He shrugged it off, rejecting her touch.
At that moment, I knew I was not supposed to feel that way, but a small smile touched my lips. It felt like a little victory that he was avoiding his wife.
That was when I took a deep breath and approached them.
"Alpha Graham," I said.
As soon as I spoke his name, he lifted his head sharply and rose from his seat. Kaylee followed his movement and began watching us closely.
Graham moved toward me quickly until he realized we were in a public place, and then he slowed down.
"Reporter Sherry, what are you doing here?" he asked.
There was a plea in his eyes, a wish that we were alone so he could hug me and I could comfort him.
"I had a family member admitted here. I came and found out about the sad news, so I decided to speak with you," I whispered, trying to remain composed and professional.
"Really? You want us to believe you felt bad for us?" Kaylee stepped out from behind Graham to confront me.
I looked her up and down before turning back to Graham, silently reminding him to calm his fucking wife down.
"Kaylee, go get water for my father," Graham ordered, dismissing her with a sharp hand gesture.
She opened her mouth to complain, then thought better of it. Not wanting to face Graham's wrath, she walked away.
