'Do explain.' 'She was in danger, we've been watching the shore, they were ready to kill her!' Lavina exclaimed.

'She is not a child; she can look after herself. Bringing her here is a death-wish...' She trailed off, before glaring at all the guards and the other sirens. "Leave US."

If she hadn't, so much could have been prevented. 1 "But I too promised revenge and I followed up on it, taking an oath that I would kill every alpha­blooded male that set foot upon our seas. Something that father approved of, despite my sins. When I found out about my pregnancy, Lavina helped me hide it, and when you were born, we realised you were a hybrid.
