Leland didn't show any compassion or concern on his face, even though everyone around them was looking at him and Sophie with shock, and his mate was falling apart right before his eyes. He kept his composure.
He had seen his babies' condition and knew they were dying. If he didn't do what Eloise demanded of him, he would have to bury more children. He couldn't do it.
He would just die than lose little Jack and Anne. After what happened to their unborn babies, he and Sophie had waited for many years until they could conceive and get the little ones. It would not only break him but also break Sophie to lose their babies now.
What Leland needed was time. As long as he could make sure Jack and Anne were safe, for now, he could always find ways to free them and kill Eloise in the future. Even though he was filled with rage and hatred for Eloise, his logic won. He must prioritize life over revenge.
