After I had dropped the bomb on Amelia, I went to Orion's room. I pushed open the door to find him already curled up under the covers, his toy clutched in his hand. He was fast asleep.
I walked over to his bed, staring at his beautiful face. He was so innocent, so pure. He had no idea that his world was about to be turned upside down.
I sat on the edge of his bed and gently brushed a strand of hair from his forehead. He stirred in his sleep, a small sigh escaping his lips.
I sat there for a long time, just watching him breathe. I had made a terrible mistake and endangered our lives by taking Ronan's case, but I didn’t think that Fenrir would be there. I didn’t think that one single act of kindness would lead me right back to the life I fought so hard to escape.
And Ronan
