Troy watched the hospital nurses as they cleaned Millie. He was determined to take her to Silver Mine pack for her last rites. He stood there numb, his eyes fixed on his mate, his face pale and his eyes red. His hair was messy, and his demeanor looked like that of a wolf who had grown tired of his life.

“It’s not your fault…” he said, kissing my temple.

But on the inside, I felt it was mine. For the thousandth time I wished that I had disagreed with Millie. I didn’t know how to say sorry to Troy, and so I didn’t. But I stood behind his back, if he needed support. He was my pillar of support when everyone was against me. How could I leave him alone?

Julie was standing beside Troy, a few feet away. She looked at her sister with tears in her eyes. She had been crying constantly, unable to understand what happened. She had tried to talk to Troy, console him, but he had snapped at her advances, snarled at her to stay away from him. At one point, Julie was so scared that she jumped away, inclining her neck.

How could someone use magic in the human world to kill a human? Wasn’t it prohibited? Nancy had told me that.

When the villa was set on fire, she used her magic to save my pups, and not kill those around her. So who was this witch to use the magic to kill Millie? Nothing made sense and the more I thought about it, the more my head hurt.

Eventually the nurses cleaned up Millie, and they nodded at us. Troy walked to Millie who was now wrapped in a white sheet. He picked up her frozen body and walked out of the hospital, hugging her as if he would never leave her. Julie, Scott and I followed him along with the wolves who were with us.

Troy sat in the car with Millie in his lap. However, when Julie tried to sit in the same car, he growled at her. “Don’t!” he snarled.

Julie immediately scurried away from there and went to sit with other wolves. I couldn’t understand his hatred for her. She was also deeply mourning the loss of her sister. I wanted to intervene, but Scott stopped me with a warning in his eyes.

Troy’s car went straight to the airport where we all took our private helicopter to go to the Silver Mane pack. And all the while, Troy didn’t talk to anyone of us. He just kept sitting there with his wife in his lap, his eyes fixed in blank space.

When we reached there, the entire pack was gathered to see their Luna. Troy got out of the helicopter and with Millie in his arms, he walked to his house instead of going in a car. It was like he wanted to spend every waking hour with her before her funeral.

In his house, he placed her on her bed which the omegas had decorated with Millie’s favorite flowers. All the

wolves of the pack came to see their Luna for one last time. For the entire day, he didn’t talk–he couldn’t talk. Millie’s parents had come to see her. Their cries split the sky. Julie continued to stand somewhere in the shadows, too scared of Troy.

The funeral took place in the evening according to the customs of the wolves. Millie was taken to the sacred site. The priest made Troy do all the customs before setting Millie on the funeral pyre. When he set the flame, he let out a soul–ripping howl. And just like that Millie’s body was engulfed in sacred fire.

I couldn’t take it. My knees buckled and I sank on the ground. Millie was my best friend in the pack. She came to me when no one was there. The loss was enormous and it cleaved my heart./

up, I silently vowed that I would find out who was behind her murder.

Two days later, Scott and I had to return, but Troy stayed back. I knew that he needed time to heal, but Scott had other fear.

“He might try to end his life…” he said, drawing his hands over his face.

“What? Why?” I asked, aghast at his words.

“That’s what mates do. They follow each other in this life and the next.” His throat bobbed as he said those words in a strained voice.

“No…” I whispered. “No, he can’t do that.” But Scott’s words made sense. I would do the same for him. The bond between us was so potent, strong and pulsing, that I couldn’t imagine it breaking.

Scott said, “I’ve placed some guards at his home. Millie’s parents are with him, and I’ve requested Julie to stay around even if he hates her.”

I shook my head. “No, Troy can’t do that. I will go and talk to him!”

“He is not in a condition for a reasonable talk, Bella,” Scott sighed. “He is in a different zone.”

But I couldn’t allow Troy to do anything stupid. So I took my phone and send him a text:

We have to find Millie’s killer. Until then, be patient.

I wondered if he would talk to me, let alone read my message. Still…

Next, I called Nancy, and requested her to come and meet me in New York if possible. I appraised her of the situation. She was shocked to hear, and said that it was her duty to bring that witch to her kingdom and punish her accordingly.

Scott and I returned to New York with a heavy heart without Troy. However, Brandon accompanied us. Scott had mentioned that Troy might give up his position as his Alpha, and Brandon may take it. But that was just a speculation. And I was determined to not lose my best friend, my protector, my guide, Troy.

Sitting in the courtroom, I stared at Maya and Craig as our counselors argued back and forth. For some strange reason, Lucy appeared pale. When she saw me, she looked like she was seeing a ghost. I stared back at her, my hatred slamming in my chest.
