As Emma stepped into the bustling office, a familiar mixture of relief and unease washed over her. Her heart swelled with gratitude for the safe return from their perilous journey, yet the lingering shadows of danger remained.
Jonathan, keenly aware of the lingering threat, couldn't bear the thought of Emma facing it alone. Despite the turmoil that awaited him in the realm of his responsibilities, he resolved to protect her at all costs. With unwavering determination, he summoned a select group of his most trusted and skilled men to stand as sentinels, guarding Emma from the lurking shadows.
These guardians, handpicked by Jonathan himself, possessed not only exceptional combat skills but also an innate understanding of the supernatural world they inhabited. They were a diverse group, each with their own unique abilities and expertise, ranging from enhanced senses to mastery of ancient magics.
