Chapter 100: Thank You
The warmth of that moment was interrupted by Gabriel, who walked over to Lucas, dusting his hands off from the scuffle with Alpha Grey’s men.
"The cops have it under control," Gabriel said, his voice breaking into Lucas’s thoughts. "The rest of the guards are in custody. We should get going."
Lucas nodded, his focus still on Aurora. "Yeah. Let’s go home."
As the three of them made their way out of the warehouse, Lucas glanced at Aurora, who was still holding Leo close.
"I’ll take you home," he said, his voice gentle but firm. "It’s late, and you’ve both been through enough. Let me make sure you get there safely."
Aurora looked at him, her expression a mixture of exhaustion and gratitude. "Thank you, Mr. Lucas," she said softly. "I appreciate it."
Gabriel opened the car door, and Lucas gestured for them to sit in the backseat with him.
Leo, still clinging to his mother, climbed into the car, and Aurora followed, her arm protectively around her son.
Once they were settled, Gabriel got into the driver’s seat and started the engine.
The car pulled away from the warehouse, the darkened streets quiet as they drove through town.
Leo, snuggled against Aurora, had finally fallen asleep, his small hand clutching her shirt.
