The next day was Amber's funeral. Caroline was unable to control her tears, but Derrek was worried about Declan.
He had received the devastating news the day before. The search team had found no trace of Yasmin, leading them to believe she had died and become dinner for the wolf pack.
Derrek was agitated and couldn't believe Yasmin had died in such a way. He wanted to get there as soon as possible. He saw Earl sitting quietly in a corner.
Everyone in the hall was sad. Earl looked devastated with unkempt hair and unshaven stubble.
Derrek had no idea Earl would be so depressed over Amber's death. He hadn't expected to see him here, especially since Natasha had just given birth to his son. He had not had time to talk to him that day and wanted to have a conversation with him. With this intention, he walked over to him.
"Earl…"
Earl was in a trance, staring at the coffin, and didn't hear that someone was calling to him.
