Alaia would lie if she said that the possibility of not seeing Maria again didn't inflict fear in her chest. She was scared. She was so scared that the moment she heard those words, she kicked that plan out of her head. She no longer had any plan of letting Maria go, but when she remembered the sad tone and how sad she looked at that time, she again considered letting Maria go see her family. Now, she was torn between letting Maria see her family or keeping her to herself.
Because Alaia wasn't feeling good, she just went home with Leo and Jace after her conversation with her werewolf servant and arrived at their home at lunchtime. The raven-haired skipped lunch and stayed in her room the whole time, still hasn't gotten herself out of her dilemma. She tried to read some books or keep herself busy with the flowers in her garden, but nothing seemed to work out. She still couldn't find peace and ended up just leaving her room to go to the garden to stare into nothing.
