"I'm going to go and contact my associates. Alex, keep her safe, and keep her calm." Illyad commanded, turning to Victoria. "Everything will be okay. I promise you." He said, before leaving the room.

"Victoria, you are the main focus here. You always have been. We protect the city, but firstly we protect you. I wanted you out of harms way before the attack so you would at least get out of here unscathed." Alex explained. "You are my priority. And not just because you can see supernaturals. Victoria, we've known each other a long time, and you've seen parts of me that no one else has. Not in the centuries I've been alive. Nyaira thinks she knows me, but you know me better than she ever did. You're the only person I can truly consider a friend." He shrugged. "I mean, Illyad comes close but we don't have much fun." He chuckled, attempting to lighten the mood.
