Chapter 144 39: Charged With Protection

• Aaron’s suggestion after the confrontation Zera faced last week was that she quit her job at the university. He explained how necessary it was to keep a very low profile now that there was so much they didn’t understand. Ivan was still out seeking answers for what had happened, and there was still no clue. With the deaths of the wise ones in every pack across the country, getting answers would become as hard as finding a needle in a haystack. There was no guarantee that there would be an answer. The best advice would be to keep with her own until they got to the root of this, but she couldn’t do what he wanted despite agreeing to keep a low profile.
• The university was almost closing up for the session, and the next week would be exam week. The least she would do was give the last weeks to them and be done. Aaron didn’t understand why she refused, and even after she explained everything to him, he still didn’t get it. Her safety was more important than two weeks with a university that would replace her the minute she was gone. He didn’t get her view, and she couldn’t force him to. It wasn’t easy.
• He wanted to pull Zion out of school as well because, according to him, there was no telling where the attack would come from. Zera told him there was no need to do that and instead suggested security around his school; besides, just like her university, they had only a week of exams left. Though Aaron didn’t want to agree with her, he had no choice. Zion would never understand why he was pulled out and made to stay home, no matter how many explanations were given.
