Werewolf Academy's Alpha novel Chapter 70

My mate will never be with me again.

My mate is dead.

***

Jace POV:

*a few days later*

I watch the clock on the table as everyone walks in and out of the room. How could this of happened?

I am her older brother. I'm suppose to take care of her and now she is gone, I've lost her again but this time it's for ever.

My mom walks into the dining room wearing her black dress and holding a handkerchief while falling at her red tired looking eyes.

"Sweetie, you h-have to join us now ." She says trying to smile the best she can "it's time."

Her tears have started to fall once again and my dad walks through the door in the same state. His black suit making him look professional making me scowl.

Maia wouldn't of wanted this. She wouldn't of wanted us all like this, she would of wanted colour and for us all to be smiling.

But that is not what's happening.

The weather seems to be acting the way we feel, the rain batters in the windows of the dining room. I watch as it pours down the window, it's like the years that have been shed over the past few days.

Everyone is heart broken, I mean their Luna has died. A major part of the pack but it's not just that. Maia was always so close to everybody, she had a way of wriggling into your heart.

Austin has been out of sight since we found her and the note on the Northern Border. I can't believe she is dead, she is gone.

The only problem is we have to prepare ourselves too, instead of crying. That's what Maia would want right now, for us to stop crying over her and start preparing for the attack.

But that's not how it works.

I don't think Austin will be up for that task at all, it's up to me. I'm allowing this day, her funeral, for everybody to cry and grieve.

Austin's name is first on the list yet I still have no idea whether he is going to fight. Nobody has seen him for 3 months, except the Doc.

The other person who has been missing since the funeral is Tyson, Maia's childhood best friend. He hasn't been seen anywhere on pack ground.

Louis is pretty bad as well, he is still not sleeping so he had to be given sleeping pills. He needs them especially because he put his name down to fight.

"Jace." The Doc calls me from the front door of the Academy, I nod to my class and they start their running course then I walk towards him.

"How is he?" I ask feeling the worry for my best friend deep within my chest.

"He is okay." Doc says "I've only dealt with this once before and it was never as severe as this. He is barely eating. He is not sleeping at all. He won't leave his bedroom. His wolf is MIA because of the pain. But he wants to see you Jace."

I can't hide the shock on my face, after all this time he wants to see me. I give the Doc a quick nod then we start walking towards my office.

Once we are in there I can't help he gasp that escapes my lips, the office is a complete reck. The desks are broken and flung across the room, papers and books scatter the floor.

The only thing standing is the bookcase to Austin's room. We are soon walking up the stairs to Austin's room and I feel nervous, I haven't seen my best friend in so long. Since a young age we have never parted for too long not like this anyway.
