Chapter Eleven
Jenna Mae knew that she shouldnât 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 wasnât coming back.
Cameron had a right to know one day that he was at his fatherâs funeral, that he said goodbye, and they could move on without him.
She hated that Jean-Paul couldnât be with her. She knew that she had to get away from him in order to find herself, but that didnât mean that she didnât 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 couldnât, not until the funeral was over.
She knew that if he were around, heâd tell her not to go. Heâd say it was stupid, that it was risky, and she didnât need to closure. He would tell her to distance herself from everything, to hide away, and she couldnât 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 wouldnât be in this mess. She hated this whole situation. She hated that her baby would grow up without a father. She hated that Jamesâs 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 didnât stand out. She hated what she was wearing.
The only thing that she didnât 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 didnât think that it could be broken. She had been Jamesâs 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.
