Chapter Eleven

Jenna Mae knew that she shouldn’t be there the second she walked into the room. She knew that she was putting all of them in danger, but she had to stand at that coffin one last time. She had to know that he was gone and that he wasn’t coming back.

Cameron had a right to know one day that he was at his father’s funeral, that he said goodbye, and they could move on without him.

She hated that Jean-Paul couldn’t be with her. She knew that she had to get away from him in order to find herself, but that didn’t mean that she didn’t miss him every single day. She wondered what he had been doing, where he was, if he missed her. She had thought several times about reaching out to him, but she couldn’t, not until the funeral was over.

She knew that if he were around, he’d tell her not to go. He’d say it was stupid, that it was risky, and she didn’t need to closure. He would tell her to distance herself from everything, to hide away, and she couldn’t do that. She needed to be here, to say goodbye to the man who changed her life, for better or for worse.

If she had just fallen in love with humans, she wouldn’t be in this mess. She hated this whole situation. She hated that her baby would grow up without a father. She hated that James’s wolf anger had gotten the best of him. She hated herself for not being able to escape sooner. She hated that she had put Jean-Paul in such a situation.

Wherever he was right now, she was sure he was frantic and missing her. She knew he was a good man at heart. She just needed to be here, for reasons that were unknown to her logical brain. She had barely scrambled together a black outfit so that she didn’t stand out. She hated what she was wearing.

The only thing that she didn’t hate was Cameron. If one good thing had happened because all of this, it was Cameron.

Everyone was dressed all in black in the church, and there was a picture of James at the front. There were many people walking by the coffin, crying. Jenna Mae had no idea who most of the people were. James had kept her locked away, and she had no doubt that she could undetected in the crowd. The church was packed to the rafters, and no one so much as looked her way.

It broke her heart in a way she didn’t think that it could be broken. She had been James’s partner for several years. She had his son, and yet she was nothing to him.

Cameron was incredibly quiet as she walked to the front of the church, joining the lineup. No one looked twice at her as she approached, and she leaned over the coffin, her face emotionless.

James had transformed back into human form, and he looked almost exactly the way he was when they met.
