Chapter 16

The funeral was on a Sunday afternoon. The large church where the ceremony was held overflowed with people.

Sonya sat on the front pew, her brother on her right and a large man on her left. Alec sat with his people but told her the day before that he would be willing to sit with her. She only needed to ask.

She didn't. She hadn't done much speaking at all over the last few days since Victor passed.

Alec brushed his fingers through his dark hair and turned his attention to the pastor of the church as he called for the service to start. Not being a religious man himself, he let the moment fade and rested for the first time in a few days.

He would be meeting up with Dax Collingsworth and the other bear would be lucky if he didn't rip his throat out before he could get a word out. He had messed with Sonya one too many times.

A soft growl left Alec as Jared pushed his shoulder against him. He hadn't realized how loud he had been. A few people glanced back at him and he took stock. Most of the people around them were from the Brown Bear clan or the Black. A handful of humans sat among them, probably from the business world.

He let his eyes drift up to Sonya, the stiffness of her shoulders leaving him concerned for her.

Why wouldn't she let him take care of her? Giving herself over to him forever was different than letting herself enjoy the physical comfort he offered. Maybe that was just him. For a woman, perhaps releasing her body meant releasing her heart as well.

He was already lost to her. As soon as they stabilized everything with Varetec and Victor's passing, he was going to try to talk some sense into her.

The rest of the service was uneventful and by the time it was over, Alec was chomping at the bit to get to Sonya. She stood near the back door, hugging various people and thanking them. He moved toward the front of the church and stood before the open casket.

The man lying in the soft white silk didn't look anything like the tycoon Alec had visited a few weeks before in the hospital. He must have been something to behold when he was at the height of his power.

"Thank you," Alec whispered and reached down to brush his hand over the man's chest as someone moved in beside him.

"He was a good father, a great man and the best Alpha I've ever met. How someone could be so powerful and yet choose humility and kindness at every turn still leaves me in awe."

Alec glanced over at the large man beside him and nodded. "I didn't get to know him well and for that, I find myself wishing I had come back to the States sooner."

"Your timing was exactly what he wanted it to be." The giant extended his hand. "I'm Parik. I was Victor's Beta."

"Nice to meet you.
