Adaline pov
I slipped in and out of consciousness as Brandos ran, holding me tightly to him as he ran so I didn’t jerk too much. I was confused, he picked me over Sevra? He defended me, stuck up for me, said he’d be willing to die for me.
‘It just proves you made the right choice, little one, when you chose to leave Brandos unpunished.’ Aria said to me. She was trying to help me find my power, but I hadn’t mastered healing myself yet, it was harder.
‘I knew he wasn’t all bad. When we were younger he tried sticking up for me a lot, and my step-father would beat him too. Eventually, he started helping instead so he wouldn’t get hurt as well, then he just got used to it and got out of control. But I knew deep down he was a good guy, he just needed a chance.’ I said with a sigh.
