“We got this,” I say, although I know things are pretty complicated right now. She nods and I open the

front passenger door for Valerie. ‘I shouldn’t have brought you here… I’m sorry.‘ I say, gripping the side

of her face before she gets

1. in.

She shakes her head. ‘No, I’m glad I was there,‘ she says firmly, kissing my lips. I know I should get in

the car and drive off, but I’m unable to stop myself from kissing her back deeply. I don’t care that I’m

covered in dirt and blood, I just fucking care that she’s alright.

My arms tighten around her, and I rub her back, trying to calm her with my emotions. ‘You were

incredible in there.‘

Her heart skips a beat, and she locks her arms around me tighter. “Thanks…‘

It was too risky. I fucked up, and it could have been deadlier than a bullet through the leg.

Survival.

Kill or be killed.

Unlike me, these are not what she’s been taught since the moment she could speak… this was a place

she never should have been.

“Hey… are you ok my Sexy Stallion?” she asks, concern in her eyes.

“Yeah, just wish you didn’t get hurt,” I say quietly, lifting her into the seat before I shut the door after her.

Time to get back to the house and decide on our next course of action…

I place the bag in the trunk, grab a hoodie and put it on before getting in on my side.

Although my hood is up, I’m glad it is dark outside in case anyone sees the blood that covers me.

Valerie’s sitting quietly, staring out of the window, lost in thought, and I reach over, placing my hand on

her thigh. She instantly turns and looks at me, giving me a small smile.

“I’m sorry for all of this crap,” Adriana says quietly. I glance back at her where she’s stroking her sister’s

hair. “I fucked up. I really wasn’t careful enough, was I

I’m sorry.”

“The odds were against us. It’s done, but you might be better off staying with us until we figure this out.”

I reply, glancing at Valerie. Fuck, I need to make sure I

ask her before making decisions… ‘Is that alright?‘

She nods at me. ‘I wouldn’t have it any other way, besides I need to tend to Ada, she’s not out of the

woods yet.‘ she sighs heavily, and I slowly lace my fingers with hers, giving them a gentle squeeze as I

keep my eyes on the road ahead.

“I have a place I can go. I’ll be fine. I’ve already done enough damage.” Adriana

says.

“No,” Valerie says firmly. “She needs medical care yet and you are not going anywhere alone. Right

now, we need to stick together.”

I hide my smile. She really is the perfect luna.

“I-”

“Listen to her Adriana, she might look like a beauty, but she’s also got brains.”

Valerie tilts her head, rolling her eyes, but I don’t miss the blush that tints her cheeks.

Adriana chuckles weakly..

“Thank you, guys.” She says and I hear her lean back. I squeeze Valerie’s hand gently, feeling a little at

ease.

The glittering streetlights are like a false promise of safety and comfort, but truthfully, they are simply

hiding the danger that this world holds. A danger we barely escaped… 1

I look over at Valerie, and I can’t help but smile faintly. She looked super sexy with that fire in her

eyes…

‘You’re staring‘ she says, not opening her eyes, but she’s blushing under my intense gaze.

‘How can I not, when you’re fucking perfect, Little Mate.‘

She raises my hand to her lips, kissing it softly before she sighs and looks at me. I don’t like seeing you

hurt.‘

‘I’m already healing.‘ I respond.

She doesn’t respond, instead, she leans over and gently rests her head on my shoulder, but even with

the calmness I feel, I can hear her racing heart.

It has been a close one, and the truth is I’m not alone and for them, I need to figure everything out fast.

I have people I need to protect.

I need to rally my army and take my place as the Alpha before them.

And it’s time we talked to her brother and my sister. To fix this all. Time for a family reunion I fucking

don’t want.
