Alina’s POV Despite my protests, he carries me all the way to the border. He doesn’t talk while he runs, but that’s okay.

Alice asks me urgently. What the hell happened? Noah tried to imprison me, I tell her shortly. So I ran. Will you come back? But I don’t know how to answer that. And then there’s my mother. You i***t. You coward. You must reject the bloodsucker and give your fool of a wolf a second chance
