Ezra’s call had him acting without thinking for a change. The words “They tried to take her” still echoed in his head. He was talking about Kalina and no doubt the same Rogues that had been gunning for her at the party. At this moment the whys didn’t matter, all that mattered was that Ezra had her and she was safe. For now. He never should have left her, Rome berated himself as he turned down the secluded road where Ezra was to meet him. The guard wanted Rome to take Kalina while he went back to track the Rogues before the trail disappeared. It was a lot easier to track here in the city, where Rogues did not belong, than in the forest where all manner of species lived and breathed. So Rome drove and his heart pounded. Why it was so important that she remain safe he didn’t know. It was just a fact, one that was steadily becoming embedded in his mind. She was now his responsibility. Truth be told, she had been since that night in the alley, a night she didn’t seem to remember, which was probably for the best.
