219 GOODBYE LYAL

Alpha Luna arrived at Elder Zaya's home with the mortician and left with Lyal's body. Elanor picked Luke up and took him to his bedroom as Addison and Aspen followed her.

" I feel tired " Tala heaved a sigh.

" We all are," Conri spoke up. " Everything that has been happening is taking a tall order on us. "

" I am going to lie down " Elder Zaya stood up and Mrs. Hemming followed suit.

" I will take you " She smiled at Elder Zaya and we watched as they left the living room

" I need a drink " Hunter stated once they were gone.

" I will get you drinks " Haida stood up and Tala followed her to the kitchen.

" Alpha Luna says she will arrange the funeral for Lyal" I spoke up.

" We all shall be in attendance. But how do we inform Luke " Hunter demanded.

" We tell him the truth," Conri stated.

" That would be wise," I agreed. " No more lies and secrets. Our generation does not need to keep lying for others."
