Chapter 69

• Lyssa's POV:
• Later that afternoon, we emerged from our hiding place in the underground, where we shield ourselves from the last night attack. As we stepped out, my heart sank at the sight that greeted us, the lifeless bodies of our pack members lay scattered across the ground, their necks bearing the telltale marks of vampire bites. The stench of death hung heavy in the air as the survivors of our once proud pack gathered the bodies, preparing to lay them to rest.
• Alpha Garret, tall and formidable, moved amongst the group with solemn determination, overseeing his lost. He was a strong leader, respected by all, but his usually stoic expression now betrayed a deep sorrow. His eyes were haunted with the weight of loss as he directed the pack members in their efforts to honour the fallen.
