A Mate For The Last Lycan novel Chapter 37

Chapter 37: THE ROYAL FUNERAL

The Celeste kingdom was mourning the deaths of their queen and the newborn prince. The poor woman's labor lasted two whole days. During that time, the queen endured excruciating pain and was constantly in and out of consciousness. The baby was long gone.

After three miscarriages and one stillbirth, the last baby took his mother with him, ending her misery.

And today, a week after the death of Queen Rimera and her baby, a massive Royal funeral was held.

All the people were wearing gray, the mourning color of their kingdom, including the king, as he stood in front of the two caskets of his mate. The baby was still in her stomach, he refused to let someone cut her open.

As twisted as it sounded, Dacre loved Rimera. She was his destined mate after all. But it seemed, it was not enough to curb his desire for an heir, leading him to force her to get pregnant immediately each time they lost a baby.

The sky looked so bleak, even though it was still early summer.

Inside this building, only a few people attended the funeral. All of them came from prominent backgrounds, especially because Queen Rimera was the first daughter of King Amidas from the Wolfdale kingdom.

The other king himself came with his queen, three daughters and two sons, leaving behind his heir to look after the kingdom.

Meanwhile, Zuri came with Xaden and her parents. She was sitting on the back pew with her mother, but even from where she was sitting, she could see Queen Rimera's body. Her stomach was still bulging; the baby was still inside.

"That could be you one day.'

The voices whispered in her mind. _{freёwebnovel.com}

"Right, that could be me..." Zuri muttered to herself, but her mother elbowed her, reminding her to reign her thoughts in, while the funeral procession continued.

Queen Rimera's body would remain here for another week before she was buried, allowing the family to see her one last time.

And when all of their attention was on the dead queen or King Dacre and the elders were busy making acquaintances with King Amidas, Zuri's eyes found Khaos.

He was standing beside Dacre and Xaden, but looked taller than the two of them. His presence was very strong, even though he was not the king and Zuri could see the three daughters of King Amidas mesmerized by him. They couldn't take their eyes off him and this caused Zuri to have the urge to gauge their eyes out.

"Did something happen between you and Alpha Khaos?" Karina asked her daughter in a low voice, so it was only the two of them who could hear her.

Zuri gave her mother a look, but she didn't answer the question. Karina glanced at her daughter, but her expression was devoid of any emotions. Zuri had been very quiet ever since her 'argumentation' with her father.
