Hector's POV
When I pulled up to the pack-house, I saw Jonathan standing outside with Leonard and a few other guards. A sigh escaped my lips. It wasn't clear to me what he was doing.
"Awaken, Bellissima, we're home," I whispered to Maliyla after parking.
A smile spread across her face as she lifted her head to look at me. I smiled back at her when suddenly Gisselle coughed, causing Maliyla to turn and look at her.
"Please accept my apologies," Gisselle said.
Maliyla growled but did not speak. Her eyes were filled with anger as she turned back to me.
"Maliyla," I said, reaching for her.
"No, don't," Maliyla replied, looking back at Gisselle before opening the door and exiting the car.
"Jonathan," I said through the mind link.
"I'm aware," Jonathan replied as he approached Maliyla.
