Ezra tensed as he stood in a single smooth motion, ready for another fight.
The memory of Y's attack was still fresh in his mind and seeing them wear the same blank masks only fueled his instinct to defend himself and his wives.
Valaren growled inside him, seeking blood and his blood began humming a gentle tune. He tensed his feet and-
"STOP!" Gen appeared, standing between him and the three women, her hands raised. "Those are the Custodians."
"What?" Ezra growled, already mid transformation. "They're with Y." He stepped to the side, evading Gen.
But before he could make a move, Gen held his bicep. "Stop. They're not with Y. There are no men among the Custodians of First City. All Y did was steal a mask." She explained. "Think before you move, Ezra. There are laws and you're not exempt to them."
