I’d been so preoccupied that it took me a few days to visit Helena. Upon arriving at Wylder’s house, I felt on edge. His border patrol hadn’t attempted to halt me, affirming he was upholding our agreement.
I’d relayed the same message to my own border patrol and briefed Reese, who mirrored Zeke’s earlier disapproval. Yet, I had no alternative if I wished to keep Helena.
Switching off the car, I stormed into the house. Helena emerged from the kitchen, a water bottle in hand. My grin widened at the sight of her. Spotting me, she gasped happily, dropping the water bottle before hurrying over. I effortlessly caught her as she leaped into my arms, showering me with kisses.
“Always greet me like this,” I purred as I guided her into a nearby living room, shutting the door behind us.
