“Donald said Rex is here,” I announced to Sidonnie and she sighed.

Sidonnie’s sigh was heavy with resignation, her mind already racing with plans for our next steps.

“I’ll come see you tonight, sweetheart.” Turning to Mason, she assured him of her visit later that night, her smile brightening his face with joy.

Mason nodded eagerly, his smile widening at the prospect of his mother’s visit. As we turned to leave, Mason’s voice stopped us in our tracks.

“Wait! I almost forgot!” He jumped towards his wardrobe.

Sidonnie and I turned back, our curiosity piqued as Mason rushed to retrieve something from his room.

With a mischievous tw inkle in his eye, he presented us with a small gemstone with pride.

“I want to give this to Donald. Athena said I should find something, like the drawing I gave you for your wedding gift. So, I want to give him this.”

Sidonnie and I laughed at Mason’s innocence, our hearts warmed by his gesture of generosity.

“Thank you, Mason. We’ll make sure Donald gets it. Now, go on and have a great day. We’ll see you tonight.” I ruffled his hair affectionately, I accepted the gemstone with a promise to pass it on to Donald.

With one final hug, we bade Mason farewell.

Going to meet Rex, a nagging sense of concern suddenly crept into my mind. Sidonnie’s safety was paramount, and it dawned on me that it might not be wise for her to accompany me. I needed to find a way to ensure her safety without arousing suspicion or hurt feelings.

Thinking quickly, I devised a plan to assign Sidonnie a task that would keep her occupied and away from

potential danger. With a calm demeanor, I approached her and carefully crafted my words, ensuring they conveyed my concern without revealing my true intentions.

“Sidonnie, darling, there’s something I need you to take care of for me,” I began. “I have an urgent matter that requires your attention, and I trust you to handle it with your usual grace and efficiency.”

Sidonnie nodded, her expression curious but understanding. I could see the flicker of concern in her eyes, but! quickly reassured her that everything was under control.

“It’s nothing to worry about, my love,” I said, giving her a reassuring smile. “I just need you to handle this for me while I take care of something else. You’re more than capable, and I know I can rely on you.”

“Alright then, anything for you.” She agreed to take on the task.

Then, we departed and I headed for my office to meet my guest. Donald was already there, waiting for me together with Rex.

Immediately I stepped in. I was greeted by the sight of Donald and Rex already waiting for me, their expressions expectant. Rex wasted no time in addressing me, his tone laced with curiosity and a hint of skepticism.

“To what do I owe your important summons, Alpha Carlyle?” he inquired, his sharp gaze fixed on me.

I took a moment to gather my thoughts before responding, thinking of the best way to break the news to him.

“We needed your presence for something urgent and very important,” I replied steadily.

Rex’s eyebrows raised in skepticism, a hint of amusement playing at the corners of his lips.

“Could it be that you want to borrow something from me?” he taunted teasingly.

I shook my head, a flicker of seriousness crossing my features.

“It’s far from that,” I assured him with an unwavering gaze that met his stare just right.

Rex’s expression turned serious as he observed me closely, sensing the seriousness of the situation.

“Now that you’re looking so tense and serious this way, I have a bad feeling about it,” he remarked.

I nodded in acknowledgment, knowing that there was no easy way to sugarcoat the news I was about to deliver.

As I prepared to reveal the reason for my summons, I braced myself for Rex’s reaction, knowing that the implications of what I had to say would likely have far-reaching consequences for us all.

“I’ll need you to follow us somewhere.” I said, deciding to tell him after showing him because I still found it really uncomfortable to break the news to him just like that.

As we made our way to the hospital, the atmosphere in the car was tense, with an air of anticipation hanging heavy in the air. Rex, ever observant, couldn’t help but sense that something was amiss, though he refrained from pressing the issue.

Growing increasingly impatient, Rex finally broke the silence, his voice tinged with frustration and confusion.

“Where are you taking me?” he demanded, his tone bordering on accusation. “Are you trying to treat me like at dumb person again, just like you always do?”

I held up a hand in a calming gesture, meeting Rex’s gaze with a steady look.

“Please, Rex, just trust me,” I urged. “We’re almost there.”

The car pulled up outside the hospital, as the three of us stepped out, approaching the entrance.

Rex’s skepticism was palpable as we arrived at the hospital, his confusion only growing as we entered the building. Making our way to the room I had prepared for Raina’s body, I could see the realization dawning on Rex’s face.

“What’s that?” He asked when we entered and I urged him with my syrecth ged hand to take a look.

Flipping the cover over, realization dawned on him.

“This is…” he began, his voice trailing off as he took in the scene before him.

I nodded solemnly, confirming his suspicions. Then, Rex laughed crazingly while I looked at him.

“Is this some kind of joke, Alpha Carlyle? If it is, I’ll suggest you to please stop it.”

“It’s not a joke, Alpha Rex.”

“I fail to believe it. Where is she? What happened to her?”

Rex’s disbelief turned to anger as I explained the tragic events that led to Raina’s death. My voice trembled with

emotion as he struggled to come to terms with the shocking news.

“This can’t be happening! You’re lying to me! Where is she? I need to see her!” Rex yelled furiously.

“Rex, I wouldn’t joke about something like this. I’m telling you the truth.”

Rex’s anger boiled over as he refused to accept my explanation, his fists clenched in frustration.

“No, this isn’t true! Raina can’t be gone! She can’t!” He insisted.

Despite my attempts to reassure him, Rex’s denial was strong as he struggled to comprehend the loss of his sister.

All of a sudden, the was filled reverberated with the haunting sound of Rex’s mournful howl, a primal cry of anguish that reverberated through the hospital walls, I and Donald bowed our heads in respect, understanding the depth of Rex’s grief as he knelt beside his sister’s lifeless body, tears streaming down his face,

“I’m so sorry, Rex.” I uttered softly, barely above a whisper as I watched him succumb to the weight of his sorrow. The pain etched on Rex’s face resonated deeply with me, stirring memories of my own loss and the heavy burden of leadership I bore at such a young age after I lost my father.

“I know your pain, Rex. I’ve felt it too.” I thought to myself.

As Rex’s cries echoed through the room, I reflected on the fragility of life and the heavy toll that loss can take on even the strongest of individuals.
