I needed to see him. I needed to see this for myself.

“I failed you, but if there is even an inch of remorse or regret within you, please stand down,” I say softly, moving towards him when Marcel raises his hand.

“Please be careful. Remember, he tried to kill Royce and many others. Winona needs you.” He says quietly, a frown on his face.

I look at him and nod. He’s right.

Even if I want to do everything I can for Aleric, I need to be there for her too…

I walk towards him.

“Please stand down, Aleric.” I whisper. His eyes blaze as he staggers back.

“Don’t come near me!” He shouts.

I refuse to listen to him as I close the gap between us and cup his face. 3

“Please,” I whisper. “You are not this person.”

He laughs, throwing his head back before he pushes me violently. I almost hit my head on the ground, but someone catches me, placing their hand beneath my head before it touches the ground. 1
