“What do you plan to do from here, my queen?” Someone asked.

I turned to look at the young Alpha who had asked the question.

“We fix our kingdom, make amends within and with our neighbours. There is a lot of work to do… but for tonight, let‘s bury our dead, mourn our losses, and celebrate our victories.” I said softly, I had felt the link break with many as we fought.

“That sounds like a plan. Spread out, separate our people from the enemy!” Hunter commanded as he kissed Charlene‘s forehead. “Take a moment, I‘ll handle this.” He added to me, and I smiled gratefully at him.

He left us, and I turned to look at Theoden‘s remains, only to see Deliana standing over him. Her hair hid her breasts, and she looked as beautiful as ever. But to my hidden disgust, she had his heart in her hand and was devouring it, her eyes glimmering. One foot on his bloody chest as she ate it.

I gulped as she gave me a bloody smile, showing off her sharp teeth. That only made a shiver run down my spine.

“He is ok to eat, correct?” She asked as if she was asking if she could have the last fruit in the fruit bowl.

I nodded, trying to smile, but it came out more of a grimace as Charlene gripped my hand. We both turned and left as swiftly as possible without it looking like we were running away.

“She is... beautiful.” Charlene said, shuddering.

“But that was distạrbing.” I whispered back, chuckling softly. 1

She giggled as she hugged my arm, and for a moment, I forgot everything. I was pulled back to the two of us running and playing on these very grounds. Back when life was so carefree...

We stepped over rubble, and I made sure to hold her firmly, not wanting her to slip in her condition. I couldn‘t wait for their little bundle of joy to come into this world.

Rain poured down on us and when I reached the gates to the castle, staring down at the city, I realised it was truly over... Theoden and Arabella were dead. The kingdom was free.

‘Yil–My Queen, we are getting rid of the poisons Theoden had made immediately.‘ Raiden‘s voice came into my head.

‘Yileyna is fine, Raiden, and thank you. That‘s a good idea. I don‘t want any of that left behind. Destroy it all.‘

‘Yes, Yileyna.‘

“It‘s truly over.” Charlene said softly as we stared at the skies that were crying with relief, before we turned our attention back to the bodies that covered the ground below.
