Lucien's heart went cold when he heard the news. He wished with every cell of his body that he misheard. Unfortunately, he did not.
Numb from shock, what he heard afterward were broken sentence fragments such as "heart failure" and "gradual health deterioration".
He barely registered his sister's squeezes around his upper arm.
The two people then ushered him out of the Werewolf Council Headquarters foyer and pushed him into a car.
Lady Adele Fangblade, Ronan's mother, the previous Luna of the Infinite Eclipse Pack, passed away two nights ago.
That was why Ronan made that single call. He needed Lucien but Lucien was not there to answer the call.
How terrible.
Lucien could not believe that he was not there for Ronan when he had to go through the loss.
Having met Lady Adele Fangblade just a few times when he stayed at the hospital and when he took care of Ronan after the war ended, Lucien was unable to get to know Ronan's mother thoroughly.
