~ ELRETH ~
When the security council broke, Elreth made a beeline for her brother.
Gar was acting strangely, and Rika was still nowhere to be seen. Elreth smelled a rat—a large, broad, lying rat that looked more like her father every day so that it was tempting to ignore him, just to avoid being reminded.
But if the pressure of the Chimera had convinced her of anything, it was that they couldn't assume anything.
Something was wrong with her brother—or more likely, with his mate. And Elreth was going to find out what it was and what they needed to do to help before she went to meet the chimera. She wouldn't allow any reason for regret. For herself, or for Gar.
