Before the eyes of the world, the formidable Alpha King gracefully sank to one knee. A collective gasp swept through the crowd. Arthur stood up, stunned.

He was curled on his side on the large bed, his hand on Joe's chest, as he had started to do, a human anchor to prove the king still drew breath. But the chest did not move. No rise, no fall. The heart monitor, now the sound track of their lives, was white and quiet. Somewhere in dark, quiet hours, between breaths, Joseph Arthur Brian had simply. left. No fight. No final, shuddering gasp. It was so peaceful a surrender that it felt like a theft.

As I turned to leave, I caught a glimpse of the king's face, his eyes still closed, his expression peaceful. I hope he's alright.

“The war is over. The Kingdom is at peace. That’s all that matters.” He pulls me into a hug, his arms strong and comforting. I bury my face in his chest, letting his warmth wash over me. He’s right.

We’ll get through this. We have to.

And for the first time, I don’t have an answer. The silence is suffocating. Queenie’s words hang in the air, fragile and broken, like she’s holding her breath to stop from falling apart. She’s standing there, her arms wrapped around herself, her eyes red and swollen from crying. She looks so small, so vulnerable, and I hate that she’s caught in the middle of this. King exhales heavily, rubbing his hands over his face before speaking. “We won’t fight anymore,” he says, his voice low but firm. “This... this isn’t going to fix anything.”
