I don't make it a habit out of using my unique ability to hear even the farthest noises, for obvious reasons. Back in the Thunderbolt pack I knew better than to leave myself exposed like that, having learned the hard way. Which is why I should absolutely not be doing what I am about to do.
Alba, Roman's mother, barely contained herself from fussing over me. I could practically see her vibrating with how much she was restraining herself from unleashing her true, and I suspect usual, mama bear mode. It's one of the most touching moments I have ever been involved in.
She clearly disapproves of how unhealthy I look, and much to my utter surprise and relief, her displeasure is not aimed at me but rather at the less than privileged life I had. Kindness is not something I’ve seen often
