Eltanin shifted into his human form just before he touched the surface of water. He dove deep to the surface and emerged up with powerful strokes. Water sluiced down his body as he shook his hair out in that wolfy way. He swam to the shore and got out of it, naked. Ileus came out as well, naked.
"Where is Tania?" Eltanin growled, his fists clenched tight. All his thoughts seemed to come to coherence but his protective instinct for his mate had flared up.
Ileus removed water from his face, his chest heaving up and down. "She is with Ana," he replied, narrowing his eyes, assessing Eltanin whether he wanted to attack him or not.
"And where is Anastasia?" Eltanin bared his fangs, peeling his lips back. He was growing restless. "Tania is not in her right mood. She needs me!" He took a step closer to Ileus as if about to get into a fight if necessary to retrieve his mate.
