I didn't dare turn around as Nick's alpha scent engulfed me. He had to know his mother would do this. I couldn't hope that he would take my side.
It was hard to feel relieved by his sudden appearance. With my peripheral vision, I stole a glance his way as he came closer. His face was hard as stone.
“Son, I have everything under control here," The Luna began to speak. "You don’t need to worry. Just focus on..."
She trailed off as Nick shocked the both of us.
“Get up, Sara,” he said gently. His arms were around my arm and lifting me up. I rose immediately, looking up at him with pleading eyes.
“Where’s Alex? Please?” I cried.
Then his gaze shifted to his mother who already rose to her feet.
I could feel her eyes on us. It seemed like she was also waiting for an answer like I was.
