"I'll be honest," Elreth said quietly, "I'm surprised you're so angry about this. You've been an Alpha—and you didn't even tell me! Are you trying to say that you didn't just make the decisions that needed to be made when you knew you had the information?"
"No," he growled. "But we weren't mates then. I would have asked you if it was something that could get me killed. I would have at least warned you! I wouldn't throw it out there in front of your family and expect you to just… just swallow it!"
"I'm sorry, Aaryn. But the last couple days have been overwhelming. I know my timing wasn't great, but it also wasn't malicious. And I knew no one was going to change my mind. It seems pointless to make conversation about it just for the sake of it."
Aaryn shook his head and sighed again. "Elreth, I love you. So much. But sometimes you need to open your eyes and look at the world around you and realize not everyone thinks the way you do."
