"There’s really notto see what I can find out about her tonight and then to to contact Eric and see where the council wants to send her"

"You know they’ll either send her to a coht to one of the islands, don’t you?" Ephrai his head to the side towards the here one of the Sentinels Eric left behind was doing a perimeter sweep Chris forced his eyes away from his unconscious mate and watched with his father as the Sentinel disappeared into the woods

There was no doubt in his mind ould happen to Izzy once he contacted Eric She’d be sent to a Sentinel coe mansion where dozens of Sentinels, their children and allies lived and worked

They’d keep her safe since she was on a Master’s wish list and try and train her When that failed, and he really couldn’t i, they’d send her off to one of the many islands the Council owned and used for protection and rehabilitation

Right now he had a war to put an end to before it cas to take care of, teren’t even born and needed his help the ht to his family wasn’t worth it As much as it pained him to sacrifice his mate he would do it If it meant that his family was safe he would do it in a heartbeat

"Would you trust her to keep our fa the answer

"No," his father said with absolutely no hesitation

"Then you know that we don’t have a choice She has to leave," Chris said, getting out of the car With a reluctant nod, Ephraiet her?" his father asked, gesturing towards Izzy
