Chapter 0706

Luke cursed under his breath, raking a hand through his blond hair in frustration. "Nina," he pleaded, "I took a vow to protect you when we first met. I've never broken that vow."

"No. Listen to me, Nina." His soft eyes met mine, but they flashed with something intense, something primal." You have to let me do this.

"At least let me go out now, doing something brave," he murmured. "Let me fulfill my vow."
