I nodded at my alpha's words, then let out a sigh. "I did, father. It was that, or letting him die. In which case I would die with him." I stopped talking for a moment and tried to get Jacen in a not too uncomfortable position. Only when the car was already moving I answered to my father. "You try to understand me, father. You try at least not to stop loving me", I murmured softly.<br/>After these words, I quietly checked on Jacen. I was really worried, and I knew he couldn't sleep, so I kept my attention on him at all times.<span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold">I know, puppy. But I'll protect you, and take care of you. Just please, for the love we share, stay with me. Keep your eyes open.</span></span><br/>My eyes  checked the road ahead. Good, there was no traffic. We could reach the clinic quickly. "Please, stay with me, puppy. Please, please, don't sleep", I begged. I think the sigh I let out when we reached the clinic was the biggest one of my life. I hopped out of the car and prepared to carry Jacen. "Thank you, sir. Thank you so much. I will never ask for another favor of you after this, father."
