Toby’s POV
Rae starts to drop from her horse. I don’t know what comes over me but I feel fear for the second time today. I’m not sure what it is but something about Raleigh has my emotions all over the place and heightened.
I jump off my mare, without a second thought to my own safety, and get to her just in time to stop her head from hitting the ground. Sir Alrich comes over and attempts to take her from my arms but I let out a vicious growl.
His eyes widen but I don’t back down. I don’t want him anywhere around her. I don’t trust him. I lay her gently on the ground and walk over to her best friend, Emma. Emma and I have been hanging out for the last few months. We’re friends, even though she has a tiny crush on me.
I know that she does but I’m just not interested in her, in that way. She’s nice enough. So, we were hanging out and riding when we heard Raleigh scream. Fear sparked adrenaline and I shot my mare forward as fast as I could.
