Lu just sat there, staring at the make shift grave that they had made at the bottom of her very long garden for Lena's father, her best friend and more. She was just broken. No Riley wasn't her mate and no they were never properly together, but they had a daughter together, a guild and a big friendship. He was her rock, through it all and now she didn't know what to do. He was one of the last real reminders of her life before a pack and he was the one who taught her all she knew and now he was gone. What was she supposed to do? He left to protect the family, protect us all and died because of it.
Lu had received a report, written in Riley's handwriting just a day after his funeral. It said that they were coming for Jewel this time as coming for Lupita was getting them no where and so Lu knew she had to do something, leave maybe and protect her sister, but how would she get away? She is constantly watched and her whole family is constantly around her. Maybe in the dead of night she could just slip away. She needed to keep everyone safe, stop her father and deal with the fallout later. She just hoped that her family would forgive her, especially Shade.
"Oh Riley, what do I do?" Lu asked Riley's grave. She held on to the unopened letter that had been with the report and she knew it was from Riley. With what little courage she had left, she opened the letter.
My dearest Life, if you have been given this then I am unfortunately dead, but please Life, stick by your nickname and live. Take care of our daughter, she'll need you now more than ever. I know you've read my report and I know you, you want to go after him and protect that sister of yours, but think for just one moment Life, think of your family and our daughter, think of what might and could happen if you leave her. She'll be all alone. Life, you are my dearest and most loved friend, I have cared for you since the moment I saw you and I will continue to in the next life. Lu, you are my best friend, my partner in crime, the mother of my daughter and more to me. I have always been in awe of your strength, your ability to care and the love you have for others. The guild will be fine, give it to Lena. She is the best of us both and you know she always wanted to be an assassin, well this is her chance to follow her dreams. Life, I know you'll probably not listen to me and go anyway, but if you do, please be careful as no one knows this man like you do and I wish you luck my love, my friend, my partner.
I wish to see you in the next life.
I'll see you soon Life.
Love always and forever, Riley Warren.
Lupita was crying all over the paper and she lay down above Riley's grave. She sobbed and cried on to the dirt. "I'm sorry Ri, but I am no longer Life. She died with you. I have to go." Lupita told the grave, hoping that Riley heard her and would protect her. With that she got up and went inside, off to get ready to start her journey. One that would take her and her family through hell and back, but would not end with the death of her father.
