Chapter 36

Kayden

I kept replaying what Warren said in my mind as I drove almost manically towards the Park House.

Isabel was dead.

I still couldn't believe what the words I heard, how couldn't something like this happen under my watch? I had so many questions about how she died but all of them would have to wait till I made sure Warren was alright.

I was worried sick that he could do something to hurt himself out of grief even though I knew he was not such a weak person. Warren had always been there for me with unwavering loyalty and friendship.

I knew that as the Alpha king, I wasn't supposed to show emotions but I also had a beating heart. I just couldn't bear to lose Warren as I couldn't imagine my life without him.

' If he attempted anything stupid....' I thought as I immediately clenched the wheel of the car tightly.

I released my grip when I felt a warm hand on mine, as I felt a warm hand wrap around my wrist. I looked up to what the owner of the hand and then realised that it was Quinn.

I couldn't believe I had forgotten that she was beside me all along. I was sure she could see through all the numerous emotions flashing through my face. I could see the worry in her eyes as well as confusion but I as well was also not clear on what was happening.

I nodded in an attempt to reassure her that I was alright. She didn't look convinced but she didn't press further.

As soon as we arrived at the Pack house, I dashed out the door of my car the second the car came to an halt.

I ran as fast as my legs could carry towards the entrance. I could hear Quinn running after me and I felt bad but I needed to check on Warren.

As soon as I entered the house, the strong smell of wolfsbane engulfed me and panic surged through me.

'Oh no! Warren!' I thought as I quickened my pace.

When I got to the sitting area I finally realized where the wolfsbane was coming from. At the centre of the room lay the mangled and battered body of Isabel.

I paused for a bit before moving closer to the corpse that lay on the ground. Isabel's face was full of burn scars as well as deep cuts. Her body was filled with bruises and burns and multiple of her fingers was also missing. Her clothes were being torn at different angles. Her hair, or what was left of it had been burnt at different sides.

All in all, the sight was a really gruesome one to behold.

I glanced around, hoping to find Warren but I couldn't find him. It was then I remembered the original reason for rushing inside like that. I needed to find Warren and I needed to find him now.

I ran straight up the stairs and started checking all the rooms, hoping to find him and soon I did.

He was curled up into a ball on the ground while sobbing as he held onto a picture frame.

My heart instantly broke for him as this was the worst I had ever seen him. I sucked in a deep breathe in an attempt to steady my emotions before walking towards him.

I sat down next to him and just put my hand on his shoulder. I could see that he was holding on to Isabel's framed picture. His sobs grew in intensity and I just patted him.

We both knew that words needn't be said to comfort each other.

He sobbed for what seemed to be hours on end and I just sat there, sharing his grief with him.

When he finally raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot and his eyes were drained of any emotion and he looked lost.

"Warren" I called as I finally spoke.

"I know that this is hard for you and no words I could say would change anything in anyway. All I want you to know is that I will always be there for you as you have always been for me." I said solemnly yet sincerely.

He just stared into space for a few minutes without saying anything. Time ticked by and he didn't even blink.

I was starting to get scared that he had lost himself to his emotions and was on a comatose space. I raised my hand towards him again in an attempt to shake him awake but he swiftly caught it in the air.

He slowly turned to face me and I swear I could see hatred flash through hus eyes but it was gone before I could relish it.

'Hatred?' I questioned inwardly but dismissed that thought almost immediately.

I must be sorely mistaken as Warren would never hate me plus, I had no hand in his sister's death.

"I am okay Kayden, you don't have to worry. I just needed to cry for the only family I had left." He said before pausing and then he continued.

"I would have been less sad if she hadn't suffered so much before she went, you know? She looked like she went through a lot of pain, my poor sister, and I just wasn't there to save her. I feel like a failure Kayden. I let my sister suffer until her last breath even after I promised my parents to look after her. " He said with tears rolling down his cheeks.

I was heart broken as all I could do was watch my best friend break down front of me.

"It was not your fault Warren. She never deserved such a fate and neither does anyone. I swear to find her murderer and skin him alive for what he did." I said as I pulled him in for a hug and patted his back as he sobbed on my shoulder.

Oh poor Warren! I do hope he will be okay.

WARREN

I sobbed as Kayden hugged me and kept patting my back.

I raised my head and stared at the wall in front of me blankly.

I suddenly smirked.

'Oh Kayden, you and Ryan are going to pay dearly for what you did to my sister' I thought as I clenched my fists in fury
