“Anything?” Ezio asked, and I shook my head as I kept my eyes on the man’s limp body.
“He is still asleep, no reaction from him, but I doubt that this is going to last…”

“Alaria…” Leonardo said, stopping me. I got up from the waiting chair, and he wrapped his arms around me, pulling me in for a hug. “Are you okay? Ezio just called…”
“We’re fine. Enzo took the bullet instead.” I said, and he looked away from me for a moment before looking at Ashton who was laying on the waiting chair, using mom’s leg as his pillow.
“Alaria, you need to go to the pack and rest. I know that you are going to tell me no, but you staying here is too dangerous and even exhausting, for both you and Ashton.” He said, and I shook my head.
“He took the bullet for me, the least that I could do…”

He grabbed me by my arm and pulled me from my brother, whispering the next words that seemed like a slap that woke me up. “What are you doing? You are acting like his wife when the two of us know that you aren’t. And not only that, this is not an issue to me, but you are putting the pack heir in more danger than he already is.

You were chosen for your blood, one that you two underestimated at the time, but you will know to value and respect it now that we are dealing with enemies.” He said, making me frown. “Viktor is waiting for you out side, take Ashton and go to the pack. I am going to be here, and if anything happens, then we are going to deal with things the way that we should.”

all possibilities, especially when I know that we have an enemy coming for us.” He said, making me frown in confusion. “Word is spreading fast about Enzo, and it is only a matter of time before the others react, and neither one of us is going to want to deal with that, especially not you when you are going to be the main enemy that they end up facing.”
