Alex POV
I’m typically one that can keep all my emotions at bay.
Having three sisters as siblings during my upbringing meant that I was consistently the person they sought for support or a gentle nudge towards the correct course of action.
Hell, I was the one who convinced my sister Piper to let go of her fears over hurting her mate with her powers when she was in heat; that was no effortless task.
As Ember drifted off to sleep in my embrace, I experienced a rare moment of vulnerability where my usually impeccable self-control wavered.
That she had the courage to show me that the memory was truly admirable. Witnessing the extent of the cruelty she endured, Ember has given me the chance to offer my support in her journey towards healing.
Anger surged through me at the mere thought
