What's Next?

Sophia's world came crashing down as she witnessed her boyfriend get handcuffed on national television, broadcasted for the entire world to see. 

She sat on the couch while Ethan and Rachel stood over her, not knowing how to comfort her because neither of them expected Luca to do something like that. 

Ethan was the first to sit down next to Sophia and he hugged her. 

She easily crumbled into him, knowing he was a safe place to vent her sadness. He had been her shoulder to cry on in the past. It seemed that wouldn't change anytime soon. 

The male omega had a grim expression and he looked up at Rachel who wore much of the same look. Even though they were still at odds with one another, they could put it aside for Sophia. They were both at a loss for what to do or say. 

"Why would he…" Sophia trailed off and pulled away from Ethan. "He said he would protect me but it feels like he's leaving me behind. Doesn't he have to be by my side to protect me?"
