Leonardo:
I wrapped my arms around Yasmin, holding her to my chest as she let out a heavy breath.
Her eyes met mine and she tightened her arms around me, hugging me tightly. She let out a sob, and I
kissed her temple, letting my lips linger there for a moment before looking at the rogue’s body as he
lay.
His heart stoppedpletely, and I knew that his death was the reason behind thepulsion break.
“What happened?” Yasmin asked, whimpering as I put her down. I looked at Matias who ran toward her
father. He hugged her tightly, and I looked down at my feet, avoiding his eyes. I didn’t even know how
the man felt right now.
He was worried sick, and I knew had I not had the motion of stealth, I knew that I wouldn’t have been
able to hold her.
“Daddy…”
“Shh, baby.” Matias whispered to her, hugging her tightly. Enzo looked at me and I smiled, nodding at
him. However, the man didn’t smile back, and I understood why; Alonso’s scent filled our nostrils.
“Do you want to take him?” I asked, and he shook his head. He looked away from me, and I could see
the pain in his eyes.
“He is beside his mother. I am not going to take him from her, he wouldn’t understand what is going on,
and he wouldn’t know how to handle the pain.” Enzo said, not bothering to say a word for a few
moments. He looked up at the stairs one more time, and I knew that it was thest time that we would
be entering this ce without more blood than the one released. This war was just getting started, and
I knew that both Jacob and Katherine crossed a limit beyond return this time.
started, and I knew that both Jacob
“Kill the men that you find, and don’t touch the women and their children. If they fight back and force
you to do so, then don’t hesitate. Those who are mothering children, give them the choice before doing
so.” Enzo said, knowing that the men were listening as he looked at them over his shoulder. A trait of
honor that we always had. To nevery a hand on a woman unless we had to. “Leonardo, you take
Yasmin and Matias toward the house. They are going to need to rest.”
“And you?” I asked, and he looked down at his feet for a moment. He shook his head, and I nodded,
understanding that he needed to clear his mind. I couldn’t me him; the man was in conflict, and he
was going to need to clear his mind if he was going to fight this war properly,
“I have a few things that I need to get done,” he said, and I nodded. “I’ll meet you back at the house.”
“Yes, Alpha.” I said, looking at Yasmin. Her eyes met mine for a moment, and I nodded in assurance,
knowing that this was going to be a lesson that she wasn’t going to forget. Going out when we were at
war was not a good option, and I believe that she figured that out the hard way.
“Come on, let’s go home…“.
“What happened?” ria asked, looking at Yasmin. She cupped her cheeks, forcing her eyes on hers
before wrapping her arms around her. She hugged me back and buried her head in the crook of my
neck for a moment.
“Long story, short. The rogue is dead, it was Enzo who shot him.” I said, and she frowned.
“It means the war is most likely over?” ria asked, and I shook my head.
“Not when Katerina is on the loose.” I said, and she frowned. Yasmin looked at ria for a moment and
the pain that I saw in the little girl’s eyes tore me apart. She was eighteen, but in my head, I saw her as
the little girl that I used to watch ying dolls around the pack.

“How about we have the maids set a bath for you? It would rx your muscles, and the two of us can
talk?” ria asked, looking at Yasmin who nodded. She nodded at both the maids who were standing
by the staircase before turning her attention to me and Matias.

Yasmin walked, slowly, but she forced herself to stay on her feet. The two maids helped her up the
stairs, and I knew that it was something that she was mostly thankful for.
“What happened and where is Enzo?” ria asked, and Matias took a deep breath.
“Jacob had my daughterpelled. He somehow wanted to use her against me. It was Enzo who shot
him and Leonardo who managed to catch her before she hit the ground. I would have lost her if he
didn’t.” Matias said, and I smiled, putting à hand on his shoulder. “I owe you my life for what you did.”
“Nonsense, you would have done the same for me if not more.” I said, and he smiled. “Yasmin is a little
sister to me, and I would both die and kill for her. It is an unchangeable or breakable bond. Therefore,
you don’t need to thank me for something that you know that I would be more than willing to do again.”

Matias put a hand on mine before taking a step back to excuse himself. The day was long enough as it
was, and I knew that he would need time to process what happened. Hell, even I couldn’t help but
me myself for her leaving. Had I not spoken to her the way that I did, I knew that things would have
been a lot easier. At least, I believed that it would be.
“You are hiding something,” ria said, and I shook my head.
“Yasmin told me that she wanted to be with me. I told her that I saw her as no more than a sister. It was
what had her leaving in the first ce.” I said, and ria’s eyes widened before a small smile yed
on her lips.
“I’ll speak to her.” She said, and I shook my head.
“Trust me when I say that she is more stubborn than you are.” I said, and ria red at me. “And I
mean it in the best possible way.”
“I am going to have your headter, please remind me of doing so. For now, I am going to see to
Yasmin. Then we will be talking about different matters.” She said, and I shook my head in question.
“Ezio passed by when you left. And something is off about him, and I am not sure what it is. But I think
that if anyone can find out, it’s you.”
“First, let me deal with the upset little wolf. We’ll talk about the restter…”
