Chapter 24

Ario POV

I stood by the wall, looking at everyone as they had gloomy faces and most of them were crying with Maeve, who was whimpering. There are two things I noticed on getting here: 1 was how much they loved their alpha, they respect him, cherished him and how they missed him. Alpha Harold was a strong-willed man, he was a great alpha, and he definitely earned my respect, he was there alpha and he loved everyone, treated them right and put them above himself, he was fearless and he died as a warrior; he protected his pack, and that’s why he deserved all the love.

Another thing I noticed is how they love each other. They are an actual family, strong together and vulnerable together. Eve never liked crying in front of anyone. She held her tears while she was with me and cried in the room alone. Sometimes she looked on the verge of crying, her eyes watering and her jaws locked but she never cries, but here she is crying openly.

She didn’t hold back her tears, and she didn’t need to.
