  Apollyon tugged at her forearm as he pulled her to stand behind him for protection while he stared down at the young man with arms crossed and a clenched jaw.

Luna wasn't sure if her husband heard the young man introducing himself when he was busy scowling at him with menace.

Ever since she told him about her secret, Apollyon had become overprotective, thinking every unknown male who walked in this Realm was a threat.

"No."  Luna stood her ground and clutched Apollyon's biceps to soothe him—that she was right there with him and there was no need to fight.  "The young man isn't an enemy."

She was determined not to make a scene after what happened in the marketplace, even if it turned out alright in the end.
