Burying the hatchet

Xander's POV

I staggered back towards the table, feeling like I had been punched in the gut. The Alpha is dead, and I couldn't even imagine what Kira might be going through at the moment. I swallowed hard.

Miguel pouted, “yesterday. I hope he finds peace in death, I heard his sickness had taken a considerable toll on him.”

I nodded in agreement, “yes, I guess so.”

“Well, thanks for rubbing it in.” I snorted,
