Zoe Pierce walked over and wrapped her arms around him.
"Miles, let me hug you."
The words he was about to say caught in his throat, which suddenly felt dry.
His hands hung limp for a few seconds before he raised them to cradle the back of her head. "Don't be scared. It's all over..."
Zoe Pierce felt a small urge to laugh. They all thought she was the one who was scared.
'That wasn't it at all.'
It was a much clearer realization of just how important they were to her.
She took a few more deep breaths, silently counting to ten before letting go of Miles Sherman's waist.
"I know. You guys are the ones who should stop worrying so much about me."
Zoe Pierce didn't know that her simple hug had made the hearts of several Alphas clench.
The color had yet to return to her face, making them want nothing more than to pull her into their arms and never let go.
They had to clench their jaws to rein in the intense wave of emotion.
