This chapter is dedicated to @Mayka_h! Thank you so much for the supergift!
Alicia just stared at him as he said those words. She had never worried nor was she afraid of her own safety because she was already dead. Now she was only 'alive' and living on borrowed time – thanks to her draining on Ezekiel's powers. But this man… he had protected her to the point as though even a single scratch would kill her. The fight this morning was so intense and yet she had not suffered from even a small cut from all the broken glasses. That just went to show how well protected she was.
And now he was making such a promise that was effectively melting her heart into a puddle. In fact, many others had sworn those same words to her. Thus, she should have been used to it already, but with Ezekiel, it just somehow felt different. And the intensity was just off the charts!
