The Alpha's Broken Mate novel Chapter 21

Peter, Cheryl, Derek, Liam and I were standing in front of Frankie's grave dressed in all black. I watched as the priest said some things I couldn't quite understand. How would I know? I'm not Catholic. Hell, I don't even go to church.

He sprinkled holy water on the grave. When he was done, he turned to us and said.

''It is done''

''Thank you Father'' we said

We all dropped our flowers on the grave and started going home. I couldn't help but wonder one thing; Derek seemed so distant.

His eyes were always red like he'd been crying. I just don't get it..

Why is he so shaken up? Is it because of Frankie's death? We're all sad but it seems his emotions are deeper than ours.

Oh well. maybe it's all in my head.

Liam's POV

I'm in the kitchen drinking a glass of water thinking about Kathy. She hasn't talked nor eaten in 4 days. I haven't even seen her since morning.

I went outside to see what she was up to and to make sure she's alright.

I saw her on the field making a doll house in honour of Frankie.

''Baby'' I cooed

She didn't answer. I noticed she had finished it, she just sat there on the ground ..looking at it.

On top the house, there was a pink sign ’To the strongest person I know'

It was really beautiful and pink. I'm sure Frankie would have loved it if she was alive. Too bad she isn't.

She started crying. I pulled her up and hugged her tightly. It hurt me to see my princess like this.

''Shh it's okay'' I whispered as I tried to soothe her

''Why??'' she sobbed "She was so young"
