[MIKHAIL]
Mikhail had grown up with Ilya, and for as long as she could remember, they had been the oldest and best of friends. Always fought side by side, and Ilya always defended him. Stood by him even when the world was against Mikhail.
Even when Mikhail's own family was against him.
Ilya had always been there.
Like the brother that Mikhail had never had.
Like the protector that Mikhail had always relied on. And if the new development hinted at someone in his circle being a predator, then he trusted that Ilya would be the one to find them.
He just had to figure out how to approach his best friend without triggering a fight between him and Agust, because if there was one thing Mikhail was sure of, it was the spite between Ilya and Agust.
Hell, he knew that if there was someone who would always have his back, then it would be the stubborn Beta. Yet somehow, he couldn't help the nagging feeling that came with Agust's new information.
