I Promise You (Scarred Executioners #2)

by Lexie Axelson

“You’re still here. You’re alive and you’re not going anywhere. I’ve got you, Ari.” I purse my lips and I watch his eyebrows pinch together as he declares himself to me. “I’ve got you for the rest of my life. I’m not going anywhere. I promise you.”

“That night at El Devine changed my life forever. I knew I loved him then and I know I love him now.”

Ari is everything. Her happiness is everything to me. I put her in danger when I wear this uniform, and I don’t think I can do this anymore.

My unhinged, frustrating jerk. Even though Danny also makes me feel safe, he pushes me to overcome every battle I fight on my own. He moves me beyond my limitations, and when I feel like I’m there, he’ll push me even more. “And now it’s my turn to say this, and I’m only going to say it once.” I touch my lips with my fingers. I soften my gaze after closing my eyes tight. “It’ll always be Danny,” I confess,

“I promise you; I’ll always find you. I will always protect you. You are mine forever, Ari Natalia. I will save you from the darkness that lives in this world and the darkness that troubles your soul. I love you, Ari. I’m so in love with you.”
