Anika:
“Goddess, Leah! Can you calm down? What’s gotten into you?”
I ask, my eyes following her as she paces the room like a storm about to break.
She’s been on edge ever since Matteo and Damon left. I mean, she’s never been the type to fuss over Matteo, her Alpha, but Damon?
That’s a different story entirely.
She suddenly stops and turns to me. “Do.. do you think Damon will survive? They’re going up against five Alphas!”
I arch a brow. “Seriously?”
“Come on, Anika! This is war. People die in war. I can’t lose him. I… I love him.” Her voice cracks on the last word.
I can’t help but laugh, though it’s not to mock her. “I thought you said you were just friends?”
“Well…” She shrugs, eyes darting away. “I think I like him. He’s… sweet and Caring.”
I let out a low laugh at her words.
