[LYCANS’ REALM]
The coins vibrated on the floor, clanking as they added to the slight trembling she could feel around her.
Aniya’s heart jumped. Quickly, she dashed to her bed and grabbed Arlo, taking him swiftly into her arms.
She could hear a bell ringing from a distance. Voices of terrified people seeping into the air, even with her ordinary human hearing, the building chaos felt loud to her.
What was going on?
Before she could make it out of the room, though, she felt someone sweep her away, and in a flash, she was in an enclosed space, an arm around her, so that she held Arlo between them.
She knew it was Ikrus; with such speed and the feeling of momentarily ease that went through her, it could be no one else.
She hated the Matebond for many things but for this little ease that she could feel right now, she appreciated it a little. Even if this relief was a lie that everything was alright, it was better than the sheer terror she had been experiencing.
