"He's fully bridge now. Fully between. Fully serving. No more pain. No more pull. Just being what he chose. What he became. What he is." She kissed his forehead. Tiny kiss from toddler to dead man. From bridge to bridge. From miracle to miracle. "Goodbye Uncle Marcus," she whispered. "Thank you for showing me how. Thank you for being first. Thank you for everything." We mourned.

Mourning what we'd lost while celebrating what Marcus had become. His funeral was strange. Beautiful. Perfect.

Until now, she'd always managed to keep it. The next three days blurred together. Phone calls. Casseroles she couldn't eat.

I walked over to the closed casket and leaned low enough to whisper. “Phillip,” I said, before I released a sound that felt both like a scoff and a chuckle. “You know, other kids, they’d feel sad about the death of their father.

Ruthlessly. The funeral was a somber affair. The air was heavy with grief and silence. The only sounds were the occasional sniffles and sobs of the mourners. The grave was a simple stone with Carpalia's name and dates engraved on it. A few flowers and candles were placed around it. Bryan and Roy stood by the grave, holding Bryan’s hand and fighting back tears. Bryan had lost a friend, a brother, and his beta. He must be in pain. Hailey, now in full comprehension of what they were up against, was unusually quiet. He waited pensively for Hailey to blame him but she didn’t. her eyes were just empty.

“I’m not about her. But if she keeps provoking you to such an extent, don't you think it's quite unhealthy?” “Can we not talk about Lauren?” I pleaded. He shrugged. “Hanson,” I said. “Arrangements are being made in the goddess' central temple for his funeral.

A biker’s funeral was like nothing I had ever seen. It was as majestic as it was fierce, they mourned loudly, grieved angrily, and made farewell rituals out of bike stunts. Growling bikes ran behind the hearse. Gunshots, chants, as the club’s flag flew above the hearse in the funeral procession to Meredith’s resting place.
