“Oh Maya, I wish I had been there to help you” I tell her, taking her in my arms. And she allows me to pull her into my embrace. “Strangely, I actually wished the same thing Roman” she says. Wait, she had wanted me there to help her? That has to be a good sign, right? I did not want her going back there now. I could not trust that man. I needed her and my son to be safe and I do not think they are now. “Maya, I know how you feel, I know we have spoken about this, but after this today, I fear for your safety. I realise you don’t have feelings for me like I do for you, but I will always care for you, and I want to protect you, not just for me but for Ryder too. That Alpha today proved he cannot be trusted. I do not want you to go back there. I am scared for you there, you and Ryder." I
