“Has anybody made any contact with him since he died? Did someone make an attempt to carry him already?” I asked, looking around just in case whatever was happening to Alpha Woods was something that could be passed on.
“Not yet,” Nathan answered. “The soldiers wanted to carry him when his body started to change all of a sudden.”
I stared at the body for a moment, unsure of what was happening. I couldn’t tell if he was still dead or if he had magically come back to life the way Nathan had done.
Taking slow movements towards him despite Nathan telling me not to do it, I bent beside Alpha Woods’ corpse and placed two fingers against his neck as I tried to feel for a pulse.
I stayed there for a moment until I looked up at everyone and shook my head.
“Nothing – he’s still dead,” I reported
