AARYN
"Who have you been speaking to?" Aaryn snarled. "Not only do they lie, but they create problems for other Anima, not just me if they spread this."
"Lies? Is it a lie that you lead the disformed, a recognized Alpha of their pack?"
"No," Aaryn said baldly. "It is a lie that no one knows of this. And an even greater lie that I did so with some intention to manipulate or use Elreth."
"Did you know of this?" the male spat at Lhern. "Did you know the disformed followed him in secret."
"Yes, we did," Lhern growled. "But even if we had not, you are not the petitioner, and have no right to speak here without the request of an Elder, or your Alpha, so you will step back and shut your mouth, or you will be removed."
The male blinked, then his jaw twitched. But he didn't speak again—just stared at Tobe with a warning on his face.
