Erik slowly walked out of Anna's room. Managing his feet as he felt the weight of his emotions on his physical body.
He was trapped and there was no way in or out.
He considered meeting Xaden and speaking to him about it all, but decided against it.
In as much as Xaden was his best friend, Anna was his sister.
His only real family for all he knew and the one he had assumed dead.
Of course he would take her side and he didn't want to break Xaden's heart by letting him know how much of a monster his perfect sister.
He also didn't want to ruin Jasmine's life.
Her staying in the pack was just mere grace.
She was hanging by a thread and if they were not careful she would be sent out.
Jasmine's father still had enemies.
He could not let them do that to her.
Exposing her to live a life alone for the first time and unprotected, she would definitely be taken captive or worse wind up dead.
He could not do that to her.
There was no way out of this.
