I held my son close, my heart shattered into a million pieces. The battle outside continued, but I couldn’t move. All I could do was mourn the loss of my precious boy, taken from me on what should have been the happiest day of his life.
THIRD PERSON'S POV
Alpha Rylan and his entourage arrived at the Darkwood Pack hours later. Earlier, when the mind link from his Luna, Alara, came, he didn't even believe her words. He thought that she was making things up.
"An attack? Impossible," he mumbled to himself, enabling Serena and Beta Jaxon to hear him.
"Is there something wrong, Alpha?" The Beta asked, looking serious.
However, he just shook his head, still thinking Alara's words were ridiculous. "Alara said we're under attack."
Upon hearing that, Serena hugged his arm, squishing her chest a bit. "Oh no, she must be so upset that you chose to be with me instead of attending Aiden's coming-of-age ritual."
That was what he thought as well. Alara had the tendency to do this. That was how he perceived the woman. He thought she was lying and was just playing mind games again, not until another mind link came.
