Erin’s POV

“Really?” I asked, surprised.

“Yes, the name Alex comes from Greek, meaning one who protects others.”

I felt a strange chill run down my spine. The mysterious man had indeed protected me, guiding me back to safety when I was lost. Was it mere coincidence that his name matched his actions so perfectly?

Amy pulled out her phone and searched for the name. “Jack’s right! Alex does mean ‘protector. That’s interesting–a stranger helps you, and his

“Possible,” Jack agreed.

“Should we check if there’s such a ‘protector‘ in the Silverpine Pack?” Amy suggested mischievously.

Jack shook his head. “We shouldn’t waste time on some stranger… you should forget about it too.”

“Yes,” I agreed. “Anyway, I already thanked him for his help.”

We finished our drinks and headed out of the academy. Amy linked her arm through mine as we walked. “I’ll drive you home, she offered.

I sighed. Discussing this is just wasting time… I need to get home. Is there anything else you wanted to say?

He looked hurt, and for a moment, I felt bad for him. Despite his betrayal, Bradley had once been important to me

“At least let me walk you to the bus stop,” he offered.

“No thanks,” I said firmly, turning away. As I headed toward the bus stop, I felt his eyes on me but didn’t look back.
