Alpha's Regret After I Died
Like someone had placed it there for me to find.
My fingers curled around the book. I lifted it slowly, carefully opening the cover.
There was no title. Just brittle pages covered in faded script and lunar markings. Symbols I didn’t recognise. In the middle of the book, tucked between a page of symbols and another of warnings, I saw it.
A story of a wolf with a soul that refused to leave the world of the living.
It told of a warrior who died in battle, his body cold, his mate devastated. But she didn’t let go.
