Arielle smiled briefly and glanced at Ronan who didn't seem bothered by his sister's request.
"But, your father wants you to stay here. Why don't you want to be here? Here, you will have many friends. We can also eat delicious food any time," Arielle said, trying to persuade Irene.
Irene still shook her head. "But I want to be with my father. What if Darui comes back and brings my father back to the werewolf territory? What if they come and kidnap me again and take me to Birwick?"
Arielle now understood Irene's worries. She shifted her position to face Irene.
"Irene… now you can let go of all your worries. Darui is gone, and so are the werewolves who will kidnap you. Your brother and I will always be the first to protect you and your father. After all, we are now family."
