Shannon’s POV

As the evening progressed, the sun falling below the horizon, Robin approached me with a serious yet determined expression.

“Shannon,” he began, “tomorrow is an important day. We’re going to drive you to school ourselves. We’ll introduce you to Brendan.”

The weight of his words settled in the air, and a surge of excitement welled up within me. This was a vital moment—one that held a real promise of escaping from the relentless brothers.

A smile tugged at the corners of my lips, and I couldn’t contain my happiness. “Thank you, Robin. I really appreciate it.”

Mom chimed in with her reassuring presence. “We’ll be there with you, sweetheart. You’re not alone in this.”

The prospect of facing Brendan, my designated mate and potential protector, with the support of my mom and Robin filled me with a sense of hope. It was a stark difference to the isolation and anguish I had endured at the hands of the brothers the past few days.
