Bab 28: Baby or Mate (part II)

 Drake's POV:

As the time to leave approached, we all exchanged our goodbyes with Lily. Nelly and Lucas were preparing to head back to the packhouse, and I was ready to follow them. But just as I turned to leave, Lily grabbed my hand, her eyes wide and filled with panic. She clung to me, her voice breaking as she begged, "Drake, please, don't leave me alone. What if the person who tried to harm me and our baby comes back to finish what they started?"
