Ashleigh hesitated but hurried the children out the door as it closed behind them with a heavy thud.
Alice and Holden were all alone now.
“Do you feel better about yourself?” Holden asked. “That you saved them?”
“It has nothing to do with me or how I feel. It’s just the right thing to do.”
Holden laughed and then sighed.
“We need to leave,” he said. “I don’t just mean the lab; we need to leave this part of the world. Start over in one of the European packs.”
Alice laughed.
“I’m not going anywhere with you,” she said.
Holden growled.
“This isn’t the time for games, Alice. You have caused a lot of trouble. Now, people want you dead, dangerous people.”
“People have always wanted me dead,” Alice replied. “You made me do a lot of horrible things.”
Holden growled and moved toward Alice.
“I have been given orders, Alice,” he said. “I’m supposed to kill you or give you to Roman.”
Alice clenched her jaw.
“I figured the first, the second… well… he’s not my type.”
