As I pondered the situation, I was unsure of what to do. When Alessia told me I would die at the hands of Adam, my world seemed to be turned upside down. I was terrified and confused. I had never felt so scared in my life. I knew I had to do something, but I had no idea what. The last thing I wanted was to leave Alessia without anyone to protect her, and I still felt I had a lot of things to accomplish. I knew I had to make a decision, and fast. I had to think carefully about what to do. I had to find a way to save both of us.

"Mate will never be alone. We will always be there by her side to protect her," Romo replied confidently.

"You must be on some good shit," I said, chuckling
