When They Beg, I Rise!

Alaric had just finished speaking when he grabbed Lemira's wrist, "Let's go! Get in the car." Lemira instinctively tried to pull her hand away, but Alaric firmly pushed her into the vehicle.

Evelina jogged up to them, "Alaric, are you upset because of what I said earlier? I was just being honest, didn't want you guys to start arguing. After all, Dorian has family support back in Orvin, and if things get messy here, Asher will have a hard time dealing with the Dravens back in Orvin."

Alaric was indeed upset. However, the mention of Asher softened his expression, "If Asher finds out this guy's been harassing Lemira, he'd definitely confront the Dravens!"

Evelina was momentarily speechless, feeling a bit uncomfortable. Family ties, she thought, always had their privileges.

But how did Alaric end up here?

Evelina asked deliberately, "Alaric, weren't you swamped with work? How come you're free to pick us up from school today?"

Alaric sneaked a glance at Lemira, who was gazing out the window, seemingly oblivious to the conversation happening inside the car.

Alaric felt a twinge of annoyance at being ignored by Lemira, but he quickly got a hold of his temper. After all, he's here to make amends with Lemira.
