Anne and Jack gave Leland a lot of love, care, and affection that made his heart feel very warm. They gave him all the things he never got from his biological parents.
They were two people who meant so much to him. And now he had to see how they died at the hands of his own mother? Could he bear the sight? Just thinking about it made Leland feel so upset.
"Are you scared? I didn't know you could be so affected by something," said Eloise seeing Leland's pale, tense face. This was the first time she saw Leland looking this way. The Alpha's expression confirmed how precious Anne and Jack were in his heart.
It made Eloise feel sick. She remembered that the two people were Sophie's parents. Eloise was annoyed that at that time Isolde only killed them and didn't kill Sophie too.
If that was the case, then Isolde's and Elaine's plan to betroth Eloise to Leland wouldn't have failed. Damnit. Isolde! You're so stupid and useless! Eloise cursed inwardly.
