Chapter 26

I knitted my brows, perplexed as I responded hesitantly. "That would be wonderful, but I'm not sure who could come."

He cocked his head slightly. "Do you think the Alpha King would allow you to bring a guest?" He inquired, his eyes twinkling with mischief.

I frowned, bewildered. "Huh? Why do you ask?" I questioned, feeling puzzled.

He grinned. "Because I'll be accompanying you," he announced.

"Excuse me?" I blurted out, taken aback.

"That's right, I'm going with you," Jason reiterated, his grin growing wider.

"I'm not following," I confessed, "What's your reason?"

He smiled. "To ensure you're not alone when facing Zane and whatever he might be plotting."

I stared at him in amazement. "You... you'd really do that for me?" I asked quietly, my eyes wide with surprise.

He gave me a gentle smile. "I'd do anything for you," he replied, his eyes brimming with honesty.
