RETH
The following hours were the most horrifying and helpless feeling Reth had ever experienced—even more than throwing Elia into that damned Portal by herself. Watching her writhe on the bed, tears in her eyes from pain, and Aymora and Jayah work so hard to ease her, to stop her body trying to push this cub out before her time… it twisted his stomach in knots and made him want to fight something, or someone.
But the enemy wasn't a person. It wasn't even a force. It was Elia's own body.
There was a moment when Aymora's voice became very clear and tense, and Reth's heart raced so fast he thought he might faint. But when he tried to ask, she only growled at him to wait and pray, that no one had control there except the Creator himself.
