Lucien ran everywhere wanting to find Rowan. But he got nothing but failure. He couldn't find Rowan which made Lucien's heart ache. His wolf ran through the forest while trying to catch Rowan's scent which had already faded. He couldn't help but look for Rowan crazily. Lucien wanted to find him and take him back to the pack, he wanted to hold the funeral for both of them at once.

Time passed, Lucien and Tyler had come to an area that no one knew. Lucien had never been there before and he didn't know that this kind of place exists. Walking around, Lucien shifted back into his human form and walked. Then Lucien felt the blood smell suddenly. His wolf became somewhat changed, feeling the blood smell. At the same time, he followed the scent wanting to find where it came from.


As he walked suddenly, he stopped in front of the dead bodies of so many people. His heart tightened and he stared at the dead men. Watching the men for a while, he stepped past the bodies. Those bodies are the only thing on the ground and apart from them, he didn't see any other dead person. And he was sure that Rowan was not there. His heart was a mess and he didn't know how to find Rowan but he had one thing in his head and it was that he would fucking find Rowan and take him back to the pack.

"You still want to search?" hearing Tyler's voice, Lucien turned back and looked at him.

Lucien's eyes were red as he looked at Tyler. Lucien still wanted to search for Rowan and at the same time he wanted to go back soon to hold Arabella's funeral. Thinking about it, he clenched his jaws and nodded at Tyler.


"Can't let him just stay here alone. Need to take him back." he muttered and turned as he again started to walk.

He felt Tyler was also following him as he walked. Lucien's eyes were sharp and cold as he looked around. Then he walked towards a cliff and looked down from it to see that there were another group of men and wolves laying on the ground lifelessly. Seeing it, he could guess one thing and it was that Rowan had really met a terrible war.


Watching the people for a while, he turned and walked towards another path. Then, suddenly, Lucie's heart stopped for a moment and then started to hammer against his chest with both horror and pain. He stared at Rowan who was covered with blood and sitting against a tree with his back resting on it. Lucien's eyes reddened and he strode towards Rowan and touched his neck.

A painful smile appeared on Lucien's face as he felt that Rowan was long gone and his body had already turned cold. But the thing that surprised him was that Rowan had a smile on his face even if he was dead. Lucien's mind repeated what happened between them years ago and how they argued over Arabella. And all those memories brought him nothing but pain.

It was not a lie that Lucien hated Rowan. He hated Rowan because he couldn't get Arabella after he got his memories back because of Rowan and because Arabella started to love him but when the time passed, he understood that Rowan was the man who really matched with Arabella. Rowan was the best match for Arabella so he slowly started to give up and with that the anger and hatred he had for Rowan disappeared.

And now Arabella was gone and not only her, Rowan was also gone. Lucien lowered his head after watching Rowan's face for a while and tears rolled down from his eyes. He was hurt, he was upset and he didn't know how to endure the pain he was feeling right now. He couldn't help but feel pity for Rowan's and Arabella's child. That innocent child didn't even have a chance to meet his parents.

But the main thing that kept stabbing Lucien's heart was that Rowan didn't get to see his newborn son. Did Rowan even know that Arabella gave birth to his child? And did he even know that Arabella was gone? He asked himself. He couldn't stop his tears and he chewed his lips not knowing what to do. He was helpless and he was hurt. He was hurt because that Arabella and Rowan were gone.

Maybe it was good that both of them left because if ever Arabella found that Rowan was dead, she would go insane and she would die from heartache. And at the same time the same goes to Rowan. If he returned after finishing everything and found that Arabella was gone, he would also face the same pain and endless suffering so it's good to leave with each other. Thinking about it, Lucien sighed and wiped his tears. Then he looked back at Tyler who was closing his eyes and lowering his head.

"Let's take him back," Lucien muttered.

Then Tyler nodded at him and sighed before looking at Rowan with reddened eyes. How can they believe the fact that the alpha king is gone? No one knew who Rowan was and how powerful he was. Only few people knew about Rowan and Tyler and Lucien were included to those people. So it really hurt them to face Rowan's death.

"His soul will be at peace forever." Tyler said and looked at Lucien with a small smile on his lips. Watching him for a while, Lucien looked at Rowan again. Looking at Rowan, he couldn't help but remember that Rowan came there yesterday and talked to him. If he ever knew that he would never be able to see Rowan alive, he would have forced Rowan to stay there at least until Arabella gives birth.

If that thing happened, nothing would be like this and the little baby won't lose his parents. At the end of everything, Lucien felt that he was the one at fault. And he felt guilty but ignoring all the thoughts, he shifted into his wolf. Then Tyler came and placed Rowan's body on Lucien's wolf.

Then in the next second, Lucien ran away with Rowan. Lucien's wolf whispered as he ran and he was so upset with the fact that his king was dead. With all those thoughts, Lucien spent hours running and then arrived at his pack. When he went there, it was already evening. Taking Rowan's body into the pack house, he placed Rowan on the long discussion desk.

Shifting back to his human form, he sighed and looked at Rowan's pale face. His heart was aching and he forced his feelings back. Then suddenly, someone barged into the pack house. Turning around, Lucien looked at Areic who was looking at Rowan with reddened eyes. Then he walked towards Rowan's body.

"How? How come?" his voice was trembling as he asked that. Watching Areic's face, Lucien clenched his jaws and simply looked away. He was fucking angry with Arabella's family with the fact that they fucking abandoned her when she most needed them. Especially Arabella's fucking mother.

Without answering him, Lucien turned and walked out of the pack house. Then he ordered his few men to clean Rowan's body and wipe off all the blood and prepare him for the funeral. With that, he simply walked towards the house. His heart was tearing apart slowly, he remembered Arabella's face and he couldn't help but clench his jaws forcing his cries back. Today will be the last day to see both Arabella and Lucien.

"How did that happen to Bella Lucien?"

Lucien stopped his steps and turned back as he looked at Areic who had tears in his eyes. So he already knew that his sister was gone? That's good, at least he knows now! A smirk appeared on Lucien's face and he glared at Areic for a while before turning to leave again. He had nothing to talk with Arabella's family and he even hated the fact that they were attending the funeral.
