Alexander’s POV
I was nervous.
I didn’t want to leave Fia alone, but I had to go to the packhouse.
“Fia?!” I called her again when she didn’t answer me.
“Coming,” she said quietly and I was relieved.
I didn’t like leaving her alone after she had one of her episodes. The darkness could always come back, and I didn’t know how she would handle it without me here.
I saw her walking down the stairs and I breathed out in relief.
“Are you okay?” I asked as I pulled her closer so I could see her face better. “Did it happen again?”
I was scared as fuck.
It was never as bad as it was this morning. I always knew that she would be able to push the darkness back. This morning was the first time I wasn’t sure of it.
I studied her face carefully. I needed to know if she was okay. I needed to know that she was telling the truth.
“It didn’t,” she said, giving me a small smile.
“You have to teach me how to help her if it happens again,” I heard Hunter’s voice.
