Unfulfilled Wish
Jerome was in his wolf form when the Crown Prince came inside the King’s chamber and fell down on his knees.
Along with the grief of having to lose that one person who he had been following his whole life, he was also feeling this extreme sourness in his heart because of the way his alpha had passed away.
The alpha’s last wish was to see his son’s face one last time before the angel of death claimed his soul. Even until his very last breath, he kept on taking Everard’s name, asking where he was and how he was. He kept on clinging onto his life with a single thread, waiting for his son to walk in through the door.
However, in the end, he wasn’t that lucky to fulfill his dying wish.
For a split second, Jerome felt like slashing his claws across the Prince’s chest for coming in this late. He felt like shouting at him for making the King pass on to the afterlife with a heavy heart and an unfulfilled desire.
