"Sati," I wanted to stop her, but something made me let go of her arm. "Be careful."
It made me feel weak and powerless, but when I looked into her eyes, I saw the same determination I've always seen in Nefra's.
There are moments I can protect her, but this isn't one of them. I hate it because I can do nothing, but even if there was, could I steal this away from her? Jushion and many others will see me as a coward or a weakling, but giving my mate a chance to show her strength isn't weakness. It doesn't make it easier, but Sati has the skills we need right now. She knows the cultures, history, and legalities, whereas I don't.
"I'll be okay," she smiled, trying to appear more confident. "You're with me. That makes it easier."
Was she talking about me or Garmr?
