Tobias POV

I put her in danger. I should have never left her alone. I know better. The way Alpha was sniffing around her. He wants her. He almost had her. He could have damaged in ways I could not fix. She is covered in bites and terrified. I cannot let this happen. I have to take her back. I will just be alone forever. There will not be another. I am done with all of this.

I look down at her cradled in my arms. I want to hold her for just a few more moments. I will give her a shot to knock her out. I will take her back to her apartment and leave her there. When she wakes up, this will all have been a bad dream.

“Kendra, daddy is going to dress you for bed,” I say to her.

“Oh, daddy, I just got up. I do not need to sleep right now,” She says.

“Daddy, I have something important to tell you later,” she says.

“Okay, baby. Let daddy get you dressed,” I say.
