Jerome’s POV:
My sister and were finally at ease because Arthur got what he deserved.
I spent the next few days preparing to take on the role of Alpha.
With the help of several elders, I became ready to deal with the pack’s affairs.
“You are a capable werewolf, Jerome.You have the abilities to govern the Rainbow Pack.Soon, you will be able to take
charge of everything by yourself.”
Simon’s look of admiration made me feel validated.
He was mainly responsible for helping me become familiar with the pack’s affairs as quickly as possible.
He was now my right-hand man, just like he was for my father back then.
“Thank you, Simon.I would not be able to learn everything this fast without your help.”
I turned to the other side of the room.
“Thank you for your help these past few days, elders.I was able to familiarize myself with the affairs of the Rainbow Pack in
such a short time.”
I bowed respectfully in the elders’ direction.
Their eyes welled up with tears after they heard me thank them.
“You are a good man and will be an even greater leader.Your father would have been proud to see the man you’ve become.”
It was not going to be an easy task to rule a pack.
Now and in the future, the Rainbow Pack could only prosper if I could work together like this with the elders.
The first item on my agenda was to gain their approval.
They all praised me as the heir of the Alpha they used to serve and love.
After all, I was modest, polite, and I knew to give credit where it was due.
I could tell that they all thought highly of me.
It felt great to finally live up to my father’s expectations.
I was confident that I could govern the Rainbow Pack well.
I looked at the blood that was splattered across the execution stage and prayed for my dead father together with Jennifer.
“Dad, Jennifer and I have finally avenged you.Now that the culprit has finally been punished, you can rest in peace.You can
rest assured that we will govern the Rainbow Pack well and live a good life.”
I couldn’t help shedding a few tears as I hugged Jennifer.
We had gotten our revenge, but we were far from happy.
Although the culprit had gotten the punishment that he deserved, my sister and I could never get back what we had lost.
Our parents were never coming back to us.
Punishing the man responsible for their death was satisfying, but it did not beat the pain of losing our parents in the first
place.
“Jerome, the execution is over.Let’s go back.”
Skylar stood beside me and held my arm.”All right.Let’s go.”
But just before I was about to leave with her, I suddenly saw a figure in the crowd that left me shocked.
The figure was so familiar.
When I stopped in my tracks, Skylar asked, “What’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing.”
I rubbed my eyes and looked again, but the figure had disappeared.
I was probably seeing things out of exhaustion.
There was no way the person I saw just now was my ex-girlfriend.
How could that be possible? She disappeared a long time ago.
