Darius POV
When James and Rex pulled me out from the dungeon and took me back to the packhouse, I told everyone that I wanted to be left alone and then walked up to the chamber that I cheered with Aleera, or I did cheered with her, now I will never do it again. I walked in and closed the door walked over to our bed and laid down on her side of the bed, I could still smell her scent on the bed seat and god what I missed her so much. I pulled her bed seat closer to my body and breath in her scent. Her scent will soon disappear for her bed seat and everywhere else, I don't know if I can make it, and tomorrow we are going to have her funeral and burn her body so her soul can find peace in heaven. And just thinking about it broke me. I don't want to do it but it's for the best, she will never come back from the dead, and I do want her to find peace but it so hard for me to let her go I loved her so much and I had plans for our future. I was playing to ask her to marry me when and had turned 18 and then have some pups in the future with her, but all my future plans got burned up when she died in my arms. I closed eyes and thought about her face and her eyes and her smile that is one thing no one can take from me and I will never allow anyone to take it from me, I will cherish my memories of her until the day I die and gets reunited with her.
I laid there the whole night not able to fall asleep I thought about her the whole night. When I saw that the sun started to rise I got more and more depressed, in a few hours we will have my lunas funeral service and my heart broke more and more. I didn't want it to be so soon. How will I survive this day and the rest of my life without her by my side? I got up for the bed and walked to the bathroom to have a shower when I got to the mirror I saw that my eyes war red for crying and not able to sleep. I got in the shower and had a warm shower. I stayed there for about an hour before I got out. I walked to the wardrobe to find something to wear today, inside the wardrobe I saw her clothes and I could feel my heart drop I turned around and just grabbed something from my side and walked out to get dressed. This day will go by slowly and painfully.
I walked out of our room and downstairs even if I didn't want it but I had to. I came to the kitchen and Nicole was inside, she had a black dress on and had food on her plate but she just sat there without eating it. We nodded to each other we could not find the right words to say. She had find a connection to Aleera and they were friends and now she had lost her. But I knew that the whole pack had broken hearts because we all had lost a special person in our pack. I got a cup of coffee and sat down and just looked out the window. James came into the kitchen later and he also had black clothes on him and I could see the he also was sad. None of us said anything. I picked up my cup to drink but when the coffee came in contact with my lips it was ice cold I had been in my own thoughts that I had forgotten to drink my coffee. I toss it in the sink and walked towards the door.
I walked to my office and closed the door and walked over to the window and I looked out and I saw that Samuel and some of my pack members started to get the funeral pyre ready. They piled up it with branches and woodwork so it would be down before the sunset so we could lay Aleera there later. I turned around and sat down by my desk. I didn't do any work stuff I just sat there the whole time in my own thoughts.

Few hours later
Celia walked inside the packhouse and walked straight to the kitchen. She walked inside and saw James sitting there with Nicole beside him. She saw that both of them were wearing black and so did she.
"James, do you know where Darius is?" Celia asked in a low voice
"He is in his office, he has been in there since this morning, he has not spoken one word," James said back the her.
Celia nodded her head and walked out and towards Darius's office. She knocked on the door and she heard a low voice say come in. She opened the door and walked in and she saw Darius sitting by his desk wearing black. Darius's eyes were red and swollen from crying. Celia walked over to him.
"Darius, it time," Celia said to him.
Darius looked up and saw tears in Celia's eyes. He nodded and got up from his set and both of them left the office together. Darius follows Celia to the hospital wing to get Aleera's body. Celia removed the white sheets that were over her body. Under the sheets, Aleera had a black dress in her, she looked peaceful and beautiful. Darius lifted her body and carried it outside.
Pack members surrounded the funeral pyre that Samuel had prepared earlier. Darius walked over to it and James helped him to place Aleera's body on it. Darius placed her hands together on her chest. He leaned down to give her one last kiss. He whispered in her ear the he loved her and that he always will. He stepped away from her and looked over to the other pack members
"This day we all will remember, we have lost our luna, she was not our luna for a long time only a short time, but under this time she was here we could feel her love for this pack even if she had a rough start in her life," Darius said and he had to stop talking he was about to break down so he took some breath and then continued
"No one will ever take her place in our hearts she will be remembered as our true luna and she will be missed, she was my heart and light and my heart is broken and I am lost without her, I never thought that the moon goddess was going to give me a mate but then Aleera came and I fell overheal in loved with her and now she is gone, she will live through us and we will keep her alive with us in our hearts and memories," Darius said and he had tears in his eyes James came over and put his arm around Darius shoulders
"We will give her one more thing we will burn her body so she can find peace with the moon goddess, she will look over us from the realm and she will meet each of us and help us when it our time to cross over," James said to everyone.
James nodded to Samuel and he lit up the fire torch he had in his hand. When it was lit he walked towards the funeral pyre so he could lit it up and to see Aleera's soul free. When Samuel was near the pyre Celia looked at Aleera and then she saw the one thing she never had seen before and screamed out
"Nooo, stop, put it down, look" Celia screamed and everyone looked at her and then they all looked over to the funeral pyre and they all could see that Aleera was breathing
