When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 64

Alaric had just finished speaking when he grabbed Lemira's wrist, "Let's go! Get in the car."

Lemira instinctively tried to pull her hand away, but Alaric firmly pushed her into the vehicle.

Evelina jogged up to them, "Alaric, are you upset because of what I said earlier? I was just being honest, didn't want you guys to start arguing. After all, Dorian has family support back in Orvin, and if things get messy here, Asher will have a hard time dealing with the Dravens back in Orvin."

Alaric was indeed upset. However, the mention of Asher softened his expression, "If Asher finds out this guy's been harassing Lemira, he'd definitely confront the Dravens!"

Evelina was momentarily speechless, feeling a bit uncomfortable. Family ties, she thought, always had their privileges.

But how did Alaric end up here?

Evelina asked deliberately, "Alaric, weren't you swamped with work? How come you're free to pick us up from school today?"

Alaric sneaked a glance at Lemira, who was gazing out the window, seemingly oblivious to the conversation happening inside the car.

Alaric felt a twinge of annoyance at being ignored by Lemira, but he quickly got a hold of his temper. After all, he's here to make amends with Lemira.

"I've been away for a while, wanted to check how you guys were doing," Alaric said.

Evelina noticed Alaric’s attention was mostly on Lemira and guessed why he was here – probably the team hadn't found a suitable candidate yet.

Lemira, gazing at vehicles outside, wasn’t in a good mood.

When she snapped back to reality, she realized they weren't heading to the Langston's but had stopped at a training base. She saw the SkyBlaze posters and various promotional photos.

Lemira didn’t expect to end up here. Once she got out of the car, a crowd appeared and surrounded her.

"Welcome to the team!"
