Mated to the Night Wolf
I grit my teeth at my own movement, but look at the girl, patting the spot beside me, "Come sit."
Her eyes dart to the space but with my persuasion she sits beside me, timidly, her hands still shaking, tears still falling.
"What makes the life of your Velari more precious than yours?" I ask, "Why do you love her so?"
I push one of her dark locks behind her ear, "Tell me, who is this Velari?"
Dula chuckles softly behind her tears and shakes her head, "Oh, Velari is not a person, she is not one," her wide eyes trail to me timidly, her legs begin to swing "they are the children of the light."
