Too Late, Alpha: I'm Dead
…
Third-person's POV:
In the meantime, Carl spent a whole month in his bedroom, holding "Aria's" body and living in a state of catatonic despair.
It was only when he noticed the corpse's hands—the severe burns from days before were entirely gone, leaving both hands pristine—that a desperate, impossible idea took root in his mind.
He summoned all the healers and witches in the entire pack, exhausting every known method and ritual, finally arriving at a conclusion that pushed him to the brink of insanity—the body was a perfect replica, an elaborate proxy forged entirely with dark magic.
