Humbled

~ JAYAH ~

Jayah watched Elreth pace the now-empty security building, her footsteps hollow on the wooden planks of the floor.

Only the Queen and Gar remained there with Jayah, though she knew there were guards posted outside. The King had insisted that until they had certain peace, the Queen was never to be left entirely alone, though Elreth had growled enough at the soldiers to ensure they gave her a very wide berth when she was walking the trails or the City, and she made certain they stayed outside any building or cave she entered.

"How the hell did you hide a Chimeran mate?" Elreth whisper-screamed, her eyes wide and lips tight with frustration.
