AARYN
Aaryn was about to bite back at Elreth—she couldn't be serious!—but the door creaked again, and the doorway was shadowed with the large form of Reth, looming over Elia as they entered.
The massive older man, his dark hair just beginning to gray at the temples, scanned them all as he followed his mate into the darker interior. Aaryn was glad to see that after what she'd revealed the night before the two seemed to be walking in step, Reth still hovering at Elia's back, like some kind of avenging angel who would slaughter anyone or anything that threatened her.
Aaryn's chest constricted and he turned to look at his own mate who was smiling tightly at her parents.
He thought he understood what Reth was feeling.
