+ "I'm not denying her rage.." + "Just her capabilities." I looked at him and I knew I was right. I saw it behind his eyes. He did doubt her capabilities. He had every right to. She was some random werewolf heiress that I suppose not many took serious. But they should had. + "She has brought out something from my brother and I will do everything in my power to keep that going.. I'll help him keep her safe." He assured me, and I was glad to hear it, but soon he admitted his actual thoughts on the situation. "But I cannot do that if she runs into the flames willingly." + "She will not." Again, I found myself focusing on my hand on his chest to escape his eyes. "I told you. She's not stupid." My thoughts then escaped me effortlessly and I spoke the mere truth. "Lana will gather power before striking." + "Werewolves follow their instincts, darling.." He took my hand from his chest and I knew my touch effected him from the simple deepness that appeared in his voice, even at such moments. "If her instincts urge her to strike, she will." + "She's not like that." + "She's a true blooded." + "Yes, but.." I pulled my hand away, just to look back outside the window.. "She has Christian on her side. He's.. You know what he's capable of when it comes to protecting those he loves. And I've seen him. He loves her blindly." + It was not hard to believe Christian wanting to protect someone, but this girl.. I knew he cherished her, and desired her and adored her more than he did anything in his life. He was not hard to read. I knew him well and I knew how stubborn he could get. If he thought Lana needed protection, he was going to provide it to her. He loved her enough to provide her he whole world if she asked for it. + "On the other hand, she has me on her side as well. I will help her, I want to help her. We all want to destroy Adam. There are no sides." I crossed my arms over my chest, and glanced ay him. "And alongside me, she has you too.. Which means whole of Venedocia will keep her back." I inhaled the air, refusing to meet his eyes because I saw disapproval in them. "How long do you think it will take her to gather her numbers?" + "Months.." He was being unreasonable. He didn't think Lana was capable of striking.. And I wondered if he had accepted that Adam was unbreakable.. + "With the death of their Alpha.. The most honorable man around. Days, Dimitri." I once again managed to assure him, finding my way down on the window bench again. "She has the forces, she has the power.." + And the more I thought about it, the more I was certain in my own words. It took no genius to realize just how much a wish for revenge could provide.. How much it could encourage. Our emotions were our strongest weapons when it came to times of war.. And I had this shaking feeling one was about to start. + "She has two vengeful twin brothers keeping her back as well. It won't take her long till she realizes she has what she needs to end Adam and those witches.." Once again, I thought of the anger I saw behind her eyes that night. Perhaps she already had realized. "And when she does.. Hell will be mercy for them."
