Chapter 0540
*You want me to talk but you won’t let me get my words out.” She frowns at me.
*Nothing will happen to me.” I tell her confidently.”
*Not you, me.” Her eyes are wide as the words tumble from her lips.
“You are underestimating yourself. Damien thinks you haven’t reached your full potential and Silas, the one man here that knows of Serkan, is certain you are more powerful than him.”
“I know what I’m capable of. I’ve done things that I never thought I would ever do.” She lowers her gaze, “I just need you to promise me that if something happens, you will always be there for the boys. And the girls, if they are here. I just need to know that.”
My hand cups her face. Her chin sits in the crook between my thumb and my finger, forcing her to look at me. “I am not going anywhere. You are not going anywhere. Do you understand?” Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ꜰind_ηovel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
A small crinkle appears on her brow as she nods. She takes in a deeper breath. “I’m still surprised that I have lasted this long.”
“I know you are. But you are not the frail, broken girl that I first met. You are not the same person that threw herself back against the door to hide from me. You are my mate and an amazing mother of our pups and I will not let anything happen to you.
*You have survived every fucker that has come after you. You have battled demons that nearly destroyed you and you have thrived. You may not underestimate what you are capable of, but you underestimate your ability to survive.”
She wraps her fingers around my wrist, pulling my hand from her face. “I’m not giving up.” She whispers as her frown deepens. “But I’m not stupid. We are going up against another powerful Kitson. It would be stupid to go in with an expectation that we will succeed. Of course it’s what I want. But that’s how people lose. They get cocky. they make mistakes. Cassandra, Trey, Kyle, Devon, Cooper even Jenson and they are just some of the ones that have died, but they all have the same thing in common. I’m just preparing for the possibility.”
‘As if she thinks we will let her die.’ Aero mutters in anger. But the anger isn’t aimed at Neah, it’s the situation.
She leans into me, looping her arms around my shoulders and pressing her nose into my neck. Her bump presses against my stomach as she sighs and I feel a few half hearted kicks.

*The thing I am worried about.” Her warm breath fans across my skin as she sighs. “What if he becomes aware of the boys, especially Evrin?”
*The boys will be nowhere near. Just like before, the kids and the vulnerable will be moved to another location. Just in case, they will be moved further south. Mallory will likely be with them because she has Luca. And several other new parents plus guards. They will be more than protected.”
She doesn’t answer me.
“I will always protect them with my life.” I tell her exactly what she wants to hear. Though I will do more than that. If it ever came to her or me. I would sacrifice myself so that she could live.
Most of the way home, she is quiet. Nyx had let her guard down and I was able to search her mind again. She was thinking about how many times she had come close to death. And as much as I hated it, she was trying to be realistic about the situation.
I smile at her and reach over to rest my hand on her thigh. At least this time she doesn’t pull away. Hearing me confirm that I will keep the boys safe, seems to have reassured her on one level.
“Can we stop?” She mutters a few miles away from home. “I need the bathroom.”
Pulling into the local fuel station. She practically jumps out the car before it comes to a complete stop and charges towards the building.
