Author's POV
"No! They… they will kill me… She will kill me!" Her voice cracked, and her words were broken because of the sobs.
She sounded like a frightened, powerless, and lost child
Asher didn't hesitate. He pulled her into his chest and held her tight, one hand on the back of her head, the other around her back, caressing it lightly,
"I'm here," he whispered in a trembling voice. "Sera, I'm right here. Nothing is going to happen to you. I promise. I won't let anyone hurt you again."
But she couldn't hear him at that moment. She wasn't in the car anymore. She was back in that hell once again.
And all Lucien could do was watch as her trauma unfolded like a bleeding wound in front of them. He clenched his fists at how helpless he was and could do nothing for her.
Who the hell had broken her this way?
And more importantly, who was she that Sera had mentioned?
Asher's mind was spinning.
