Marlie’s POV
I could feel Hope still shaking behind me as we sat silently in the closet, listening to the sounds of all the fighting that was going on. I wasn’t exactly sure how long we would need to hide here before we could get out, but I hoped it wouldn’t be too long; I really wanted to see my mate and our child again, I missed them so much!
Suddenly, the fighting closest to us seemed to die down, and while I could still hear fighting in the distance, the people near us went silent. I felt Hope tense up behind me and I held my breath as footsteps made their way down the hall, and the sounds of the doors being opened got closer and closer to us. There were some fast steps heading straight toward where we were, and I had to bite my tongue to stop myself from making any noises in fear. R
