||*ALOYSIUS*|| I had to pretend I was strong for this, like I didn't want to break down and cry, but in all sincerity I felt like crashing. Paige was a wailing mess the minute the men clad in white carried Alexius' dead body to the funeral pyre. He just couldn't stop crying and I can't even blame him, that is his mate. His second-half, the person who completes him and I ruined them. I ruined my family, this was all my fault, the reason we were all gathered here for Alexius' funeral was all on me. No one is saying it yet, but I know they all think the same. Mom has shut herself out from everyone, my other siblings keep crying for their older brother. Jared, Brandon and the rest of the family friends have all tried to comfort us one way or the other. I can see the fatigue in dad's eyes. R
