Chapter 140 Fire Upon The Dead

• The silence was deafening. It eroded deep to the bone with the wind harsh, cold and bruising.
• My head was cast down, the tears rolling down no matter how hard I wiped them away.
• “ I, king Conri left this pack months back with your bothers, your mates, your sons, your uncles and cousins. We went to the war zone where we fought against vampires and werewolf rogues. It is with much sadness and a bleeding heart that I stand before you all to state that over twenty thousand warriors have died in this fight. We were able to retrieve the bodies of eight thousand men with the rest left in the war zone with no way for us to retrieve them. I am deeply sorry for all your losses. I don’t know the pain you are going through and I wish I could take it away but I can not. It would be better if I stood here and said that they did not die in vein but as I stand, I sadly report that we have lost the war….” Conri fell silent with me taking a step forward to him.
