Jared ran after Leah, knowing she couldnât handle these leeches alone. He wouldnât order her not to fight butâŠhe would make sure she stayed safe. Its what Sam would want. And right nowâŠhe tried not to think about how badly Sam was hurt.
Leah ignored Jaredâs inner ramble for the most part, but she was grateful that he wasnât going to use his higher up position to order her around. She slowed her pace when she was near the leeches. âGo around the other side of the clearing, then weâll be coming at them from both sides.â She thought to him.
Jared sent positive feelings her way, letting her know he understood. He followed her words and waited for the signal to charge.
