I sat in my car, my hands gripping the steering wheel tightly as I spoke to Aragon on the phone. The dim lighting of the parking or seemed to in around me, making me feel destrophobic and munnen.
“Aragon I think I’m being watched. “Tald. But even loould hear the tremble in my words
His voice was calm and reassuring on the other end of the line “What makes you think that?” he asked, his tone gentile but firm.
Theutated, unsure of how to explain the feeling of use the had been growing inside me I was like a ragging voice in the back of my mind, comitantly whispering warnings and fears
Tjust feel like someone i always watching me.” I said. “I know I sound paranoid, but I just can’t shake the feeling.”
The feeling that if I didn’t ask him for help I might mad up being taken away from him and our son and there was no coming back from this particular one.
His tone tumed serious. I assign someone to watch over you” he said. “You don’t have to worry about tha
But I shook my head, even though he couldn’t see me. A surge of frustration and independence welled up inside me. I didn’t want to be babyutor protected I warned to take care of myself.
“I can take care of myself Aragon,” I said, “Tjust need someone to keep an eye out for me just in case
I could protect myself but I just needed extra help if he was going to try to make me do what I didn’t want to do then I was going to call her bluft E didn’t need him thinking that I couldn’t take care of myself
I dodat want to add that to my problems.
Aragon sighed on the other end of the line. Tcould almost hear him rubbing his temples in frustration “Sapphire Idont think that a good idea,” he taid. “You’re not exactly— trained for this kind of thing ”
I branded at his tone, feeling a surge of defensiveness. Who was he to question my abilities? But at the same time, a small part of me wondered if he was right. Was I equipped to handle this kind of nation
I took a deep breath and treed to puli aude my doubts. “Im not asking for your perman. Aragon, I and “Tanking for your help. I need sonneone on the inude, someone who can keep an eye out for me without drawing attention to themselves.”
There was a pause on the other end of the line, and for a moment, I wondered if Aragon was going to refuse my request. But then he spoke up
“Fine.” he said. “Ti assign one of
Enny pack memberi to work for you. But you have to promise me one thing.”
“What’s that?” I asked, my heart pounding in my chest.
You have to promise ane that you’ll laten to them that you’ll take their advice and follow their lead if things get houry” he said.
I nodded even though he couldn’t see me. “I promise,” Taid, trying to sound codident
His one softened slightly. “Good,” he said. ‘Ill send someone over to your office tomorrow. His name is Lucas. He’s one of my motrated pack
inembers
I felt a sense of relief wash over me as I hung up the phone. I knew that Argon wouldn’t let anything happen to me, not as long as Lucas was waschung voer ie, but at the same time, I couldn’t share the feeling that I was in grave danger and that Lucas mata be the only thing standing
between sedim.
Tcouldn’t help but feel a sense of unease, I knew that he was trying to help, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was being watched, in was like I couldn’t go a moment without somebody trying to see what I was doing.
I almost came out of the car so I could shout at whoever was watching but 1 knew it was sky
I looked around the parking lot, raking in the dim lighting and the rows of empty can. The only sound was the distant hum of trame and the creaking of trees in the wind. I felt a chill run down my spine as I realised how isolated I was
Took a deep breath and ined to calm down. I knew that I had to be rational, that I couldn’t fer my fears get the best of me. But as I sat there. I couldn’t help but wonder if I was making a mistake. Was I ready to face wherever dangers were lurking in the shadows!
My mund started to wander, thinking abour all the things that could go wrong. What if Lucas, the pack member that Argon was sending to watch over me, wasn’t enough to keep me safe! What if Victor’s men were 100 powerful too well–trained
I shook my head, trying to clear my thoughts. I knew that I had to focus on the present, not worry about the what–ifs. But it was hand to shake the feeling of unease Hat had settled in my ownach
As fut there, lost in thought. I suddenly heard a noise behind me. I spun around, my heart racing, but there was no one there. I took a deep breath and trand in calm down, telling myself that it was put my imagination playing tricks on me
