AYLETH
Ayleth's stomach sank as she watched Etan bear up under his father's rage. She understood. She hadn't expected anything less. In fact, she suspected if it was her parents they had this conversation with, his blood would already have been spilled.
But even as Etan's jaw twitche and he set himself not to waver, she saw his face pale. She felt through the bond the way the son within him—the child who admired his father—wanted to cower and plead for approval. For love.
