Tamara POV

I had never seen Brad to be so protective about anyone else except his own family. Surprise flickered through me. The way he held her, like she would break if he let her go, like she was a treasure, made me wonder if he was in love with her. But if that was the case, why didn't he ever mention about her?

"Who is she?" I asked as I approached her.

He took a deep breath in. "This is Summer McKeever," he replied in a low protective tone. "I rescued her from some cultists. They were after her, and I barely got her out in time."

I exchanged a look with Matt. Cultists? What was going on here?

Bradley's voice softened as he looked down at Summer with concern. "Can you help her?" he asked me. "She's too fragile... And-and I can't take her anywhere. I mean I don'

t know where she lives."

I stepped closer to see Summer. She was really pale. Confusion flooded me. "I'm not understanding what you are saying, Brad," I said, frustration rising. "If you don't know anything about her then why did you save her? But more than that, how did you find

her with the cultists?" Then I lowered my voice, "Why are you so protective of her, Bradley?"

Bradley didn't answer immediately. He simply stared at the fragile girl in his arms, a deep sadness overtaking him. "I'll answer to later, but just help her. Can you take her to your dorm secretly?"

On an instinct, I touched the forehead of the girl and closed my eyes, wondering what was wrong with her. "Why don't you take her to the house?" I asked. "I'll be able to look after her properly there. Moreover, I don't have an extra bed. I mean if it's okay with you, she can share mine."
