Aria's pov "Where was he taken?"My voice shook as I stared at Dr. Rowan. Dave had risked everything to help me. Now he was at Damien's mercy.I knew how ruthless Damien could be. "I don't know," Dr. Rowan shook his head. His eyes warned me as he spoke. "You shouldn't worry about it. Alpha Damien was very upset this time. Focus on protecting yourself. You can't help others right now." His meaning was clear: [Aria, you can't even save yourself. Why are you thinking of others?] But I refused to be helpless anymore. Of course I understood my situation. But I couldn't stop worrying about Dave. He was in this mess because of me. If Damien wanted to punish someone, he should come after me directly. I wouldn't hide while an innocent person suffered for my choices.
