An Alpha’s Greatest Loss

[JER]

Atticus disappeared the moment he opened the door to Hawi's suite. Jer didn't think too much of that; he was just glad that the door had opened and he would finally see his little mate. It was supposed to be harmless until he saw a body.

His Malika's body.

"No," Jer whimpered as he rushed to his mate, ignoring the door that would probably close and trap him inside here. He was scared and worried for his mate, but what he was met with, shattered his will to live.

Malika wasn't losing her breaths slowly, no. She looked like she had died days ago, and he had failed to realize the intensity of the stench. She looked so defeated, and like she had been trying to crawl towards the door.

Jer wasn't sure if this was just a game, so he summoned his beta who was sand at him. He knew it was a risk, but he hoped that a part of Elodie would understand him, seeing as they had both been part of Malika's inner circle, right?
