142 Come Home To Me

~Susan~

I had never been filled with so much fear in my life. I could feel the countdown. Deen down, I wished Sylvester would reach out and inform us that Yuri had changed plans, but the fact that he was still on course and the meeting would still hold in Gad brought fear to me.

I knew it wasn't a sure win, even though we wished it would be a certain victory. I was worried sick.

I had seen too much betrayal to be confident in the people on our team, especially the Stepanovs, but I kept my fears to myself.

The battle was in three days, and I did not want to get in Devin's head.

He needed all the support he could get, and I was willing to give it no matter what. I just had to hope for the best.

My heart remained broken because we could not go to the South. That was where we were supposed to be. Devin and me. We were supposed to be with our people, lending them strength and courage. Instead, we had to hide with Leo and pray that it all worked out for a good while our loyal pack members were in cells, especially Lukman.

I knew it troubled Devin; I could see it whenever his eyes wandered in pain.

I had heard him growl in the bathroom a couple of times in pain. He behaved like a man whose soul had been ripped from him. He was angry, and he had every right to be so. Yuri targeted someone that had nothing to do with what happened to his bloodline. Evidently, what drove Yuri was greed and not revenge like he made it seem.

’How are you feeling this morning," Devin asked me, exiting the bathroom. He looked perfect and had a smile on his face. I knew the smile was to my benefit. He had told me he did not want the moment leading up to battle to be glum and riddled with fear. He had pleaded with me to be the happiest and live it to the best of my ability, and I was trying. I was trying not to show fear.
