The final part of the wake keep was when the priestess stepped up and prayed for Alpha Henry's soul. They entreated the goddess to give him smooth sailing through the bowels of death and grant him the rest he deserved.
The scene was laughable to Asher, considering he knew where Henry was truly resting, and it wasn't in the bosom of the goddess, but in the fiery torment of hell. Perhaps if Micah had been present, he could have given them a personal tour of the underworld so they could see Henry's "place of rest" for themselves.
Micah, however, had been excused by Alpha King Elijah to tend to his hospitalized mate, Adele.
As soon as the ceremony was over, Elijah gave one of his usual motivational speeches. And of course, he couldn't leave without the final word.
"Tonight was interesting. We'll see how tomorrow turns out then." He chuckled darkly and departed the same way he had arrived.
