Evence scowled at Merek and grabbed his shirt, shoving him into a nearby chair and trapping him there as she put her arms on either side of him. Leaning in close, she whispered in a harsh tone to him so in case anyone was around they wouldn't know what was being said. "Listen here Merek. As much as I hate admitting it, the werewolf world needs its King. I, don't matter to anyone except my pack and even they can run perfectly fine without me. Boa will be a wonderful Alpha someday and I have already resigned myself to die for these people. If that means dying tonight or tomorrow I can live with that as long as I leave with this Pack safe. I am protecting you because my Pack lives in this world and if you die the whole world will go up in chaos. God knows if the wrong person gets a hold of the throne we're all fucked. But if you're still alive then my Pack is safe... And... You'll be safe with Zane. I am not important here. But you are, my dear Mate. You don't get briefed on my Pack's problems. I will find someone to escort you home as soon as Boa gets here," she finished, standing up and walking away to wait on her Beta.<br/><br/>Truth was, Evence was protecting him because she wasn't sure what she would do without him.

Noticing the pain he was in, Rose helped him back over to the couch and sat him down. "Hey, don't strain yourself. We'll be okay. They'll be okay. Merek is with Evence and she wont let anything happen to him. She loves him too much for that," she reassured. Sitting down next to him, Rose placed a kiss on his cheek and whispered, "You should probably get some sleep. I'll stay up and make sure nothing happens. I'll wake you if something serious goes on."
