Her face twisted with emotion as he took it in his hands. His stubbornness was going to get his whole family killed, why couldn’t he see that? Her voice trembled when she spoke. “Please? Just for the night until we can figure out what to do? Think about your mom and Sofie. Your desire to not run is going to get them killed.”<br/><br/>Her hands took hold of his forearms as she looked up at him. “What did your grandfather say? Did he know the truth?” She took his hands in hers again, squeezing them, attempting to use that minor physical contact to convince him to listen to her.<br/><br/>“I’ll help you dig the graves, I swear. Just come to my place for the night. They won’t look for you there. All three of you can stay at my apartment. It’s not much but I’ve got a big bed and a comfortable couch. We’ll figure it out.” Amaris was rambling at that point, grasping at straws to just try to get him to listen, to hear what she was saying.<br/><br/>“I can’t protect you all.” It was only a matter of time before Rex found out and once that happened, Amaris didn’t know what she would do. Would she turn against her pack for someone she had known for a few days? It wasn’t a decision she was ready to make yet.
