Nicolas POV

It's the day of the funeral and I feel horrible. LelaAnn has been by my side and supportive ever since they told us. I'm so grateful for her she's takes the pain off most times.

She's as hurt as I am but we both have yet to cry.
I'm just trying to stay strong that is my duty as Alpha.

I take my time in the shower the funeral starts in a few hours. But family goes in last to see the body in groups on twos.
Me and Lela first, then cousins, lastly Aunts and Uncles.
I make my way to my closet and got dressed wearing

One of my dads special meaning suits. This is the suit he buried my mother in.

I spray on his favorite cologne and walked out of my door to get LelaAnn.

LelaAnn's POV

It's been a very hard few days.
Things have been quiet around the pack house.
I can't even sleep.
Nicolas is being so strong for me and I appreciate it because I know if he breaks down I will also and I've been trying to be strong.

I make my way to the bathroom and turn on the shower. I do my shower routine then head out to brush my teeth.

I put on lotion and deodorant before putting my clothes on.

Wearing

I wand curl my hair and put on my makeup.

Time to go!

The funeral

It is time for Nicolas to give the eulogy "Hello. As I stand here, I see friends and relatives that have come great distances to be here for my Dad. I am humbled and quite frankly impressed at how he must have touched your lives. I can only speak for myself, but when I think of how he touched my life, the first word that comes to mind is "admiration".

I could stand here and list all the ways I admire him...but well, a lot of you have flights to catch. But I would like to share a few reasons why I admire my Dad. First and foremost was his love and commitment for my Mother. And not just marital commitment. He was committed to making her HAPPY. If it was important to her, it BECAME important to him. They were happily married for 32 years.
I also admire him because of the KIND of father he was to me. Yes, he loved me... very much. But he also instilled in me a core value system that defined who HE was. And that, was a man who kept promises. Honored commitment. He was a man of integrity. Whenever I stumbled, he could have accepted my bitching & moaning and advised me to take the easy way out and quit. But he'd have none of THAT. He fully expected me to see things through, all the way to the end without drama. "Do it. It just needs to be done." he'd always say to me.

Most times I didn't listen

If you're here today, and I thank you for that, that means that he touched your life in some way or another. That means that you'd miss him in some way or another.

Yes, he will be missed

Friends will miss his coffee and corny jokes and his company

His future grandchildren will not know about his giddy-up rides and the comfy naps on his favorite recliner

My mother will have her best friend by her side yet again

I will miss my father, the source of my convictions. I will miss my inspiration."

Everyone clapped including me.

After the funeral

It's the reception and everyone is inside eating. They already buried his body at the packs graveyard. I needed air so I took a walk through the woods not telling anyone where I was. I just needed a break. I make my way to this cliff and sit on it.
I heard a leaf break in the distance but I knew that Nicolas followed me out here.

"You need to tell people where you are"

"Yeah"

He comes up behind me and wraps his arms around me.
I'm trying so hard not to cry.

"Cmon people are leaving let's go to sleep"

It's about 8 right now

We shower and get into bed.

Since the news about Alpha Daniel Nicolas can't stop holding on to me super tight at night. But it's okay I need to be there for my man.

All of a sudden it just happened.
I balled my eyes out and Nicolas too.
That's how we went to bed that night.

I'm a horrible person!
Like I feel really really bad for making him pass away.
