Chapter 8

Author: Sun Keeper
The day after my funeral, a light rain fell from the gray sky.

A young wolf came to my grave.

It was Ian Hayes, a year below me at the academy. He had just returned from a mission on the border, an elite warrior's medal still pinned to his chest.

He placed a bouquet of white bellflowers on my gravestone.

"Nerys, I came to see you again," he murmured, his voice heavy with exhaustion.

"If you hadn't encouraged me back then, I don't think I could have made it through those brutal years at the

    The day after my funeral, a light rain fell from the gray sky.A young wolf came to my grave.It was Ian Hayes, a year below me at the academy. He had just returned from a mission on the border, an elite warrior's medal still pinned to his chest.He placed a bouquet of white bellflowers on my gravestone."Nerys, I came to see you again," he murmured, his voice heavy with exhaustion."If you hadn't encouraged me back then, I don't think I could have made it through those brutal years at the border. I fought so hard because I wanted to prove myself to you. But I still came back too late."He dropped to one knee and gently ran his fingers over my name engraved on the stone.I floated beside him, completely stunned.I had never realized that this quiet, reserved man had harbored such feelings for me all these years.Ian slowly rose to his feet, his expression turning cold and hard."I found proof of what they did to you. I came here today to tell you that I'm going to make them p

    The word "revenge" made my heart clench.An old memory suddenly resurfaced. It was a secret Audric confided in me right before Mom passed away.Back then, Mom and Aunt Gloria, Hallie's mother, were both diagnosed with severe kidney disease. They each needed a transplant, but there was only one matching kidney.In the end, Aunt Gloria gave up her chance so Mom could have it. She never got another match. Her condition worsened, and she passed away shortly after.Mom had lived five more years because of her sacrifice.Audric had told me, "We gave Hallie's family a large sum of money to make up for it, but..."I understood what he left unsaid. You couldn't put a price on a life.Deep down, I was incredibly grateful to Aunt Gloria and felt deeply sorry for Hallie.I got five extra years with my mother, while Hallie lost hers. I swore to myself I'd do everything I could to make it up to her.Growing up, I never said no to her. When she wanted the new dress I'd spent months saving up

    Audric handled my funeral on his own.Ragnar wanted to help, but Audric stopped him at the door. "You have no right to be here."Ragnar stood outside the funeral home from early morning until dusk. Several guests tried to persuade him to leave, but he refused to budge.Hallie called him several times, but he didn't answer a single call.Eventually, she came herself.She was wearing a black trench coat, her hair hanging loose around her face and dark circles showing beneath her eyes. She looked like she hadn't slept in days.When she spotted Ragnar, she hurried over.She stopped beside him and followed his gaze toward the entrance without saying a word.After a long while, Ragnar finally spoke. "Did you push her that day?"Hallie stiffened for a moment, rubbing the edge of her sleeve nervously. "I didn't.""Think carefully before you answer me.""Ragnar, I swear I didn't.""You're still lying to me?" Ragnar demanded coldly, nothing like the gentle man who had cared for her a

    The doctor continued speaking. "Her body has been in the morgue for three days. Please come as soon as possible to take care of the paperwork."The color drained from Ragnar's face."Ragnar, are you okay?" Hallie asked, looking at him worriedly.The phone slipped from Ragnar's hand, hitting the edge of the table and knocking the stack of prenatal education recordings onto the floor.Hallie picked up the phone and held it to her ear."Sir, are you still there? Please come as soon as possible to claim Ms. Thorne's body," the doctor said. The phone dropped. Hallie's hands were shaking violently."She's dead?" Her voice was barely a whisper, dazed with disbelief. "Nerys is dead?"Ragnar buried his face in his hands, his body hunched over. He couldn't get a single word out.I floated beside them.For the first time in three days, they mentioned my name without blaming me or judging me.They finally knew the truth.But I could no longer react to whatever they were feeling. Their

    On the third day, the doctor said Hallie was well enough to be discharged.Ragnar took care of the paperwork. As they were leaving, Hallie spotted the flower shop by the entrance. "It's a beautiful day. I feel like getting some flowers."Ragnar nodded, then went inside and bought her a bouquet of sunflowers.Every time he'd taken me to a prenatal appointment, he'd buy a bouquet at that exact shop because sunflowers were my favorite.But now, he was giving them to another woman.When the car pulled into our driveway, Hallie stayed in the passenger seat without getting out."What's wrong?" Ragnar asked."Do you think Nerys is home?" She bit her lip, looking worried. "What if she sees me and does something reckless again? I'm afraid she might hurt the pup."Ragnar pulled his hand back from the door handle. He took out his phone and called me.But there was no answer.My phone had gone unanswered since the day before yesterday. It was still sitting at the bottom of the river."S

    The sun rose again, and the new day had begun.I floated inside Hallie's hospital room as Ragnar walked in carrying a thermal flask.He unscrewed the lid and poured the steaming, creamy lamb soup into a bowl.Ever since I got pregnant, my morning sickness had been so severe that the smell of meat made me sick. But lamb soup was the one exception.Back then, Ragnar had gone out of his way to find the best cook in the pack just to learn a dozen different ways to prepare it. He cooked it for me every day so I could stay healthy and keep the pup well nourished.Now, he blew on a spoonful and gently offered it to Hallie. "Try this. I made it myself. You caught a chill yesterday. This will help you recover."Hallie took a sip and looked up at him. "Ragnar, your cooking is still as good as ever."Still as good as ever?I couldn't help but think back to six years ago, before any of us had graduated from the academy. The three of us were inseparable.Hallie hated the food at school, so
