143 A true imprint

Adrik's voice stammered in explaining the situation, making Halvir even more furious.

''ADRIK!!!''

Halvir, Gavriel, and Hans screamed at the same time, rebuking Adrik, who stuttered incoherently.

"Adrik?! ... What's going on?'' Ruvi asked. Curiosity made him even more impatient.

''Adrik, he had imprinted Atthy,'' Gavriel replied with a furious expression.

''WHAT?!''

Ruvi, Algis, and Auriga were shocked to hear this in unison.

''Hey!... Adrik!'' shouted Ruvi screeching, calling him with a tense expression.

''Is that true?!'' Algis and Auriga asked with trembling voices. They couldn't believe their proud brother could make such a big mistake.

Adrik could only nod and lower his head without daring to look.

Ruvi is shocked and confused, shame and anger mixed together. Ruvi hopes his ears are deceiving him. He finds it hard to believe.

Why? Because among the three siblings, why did Adrik make that mistake?
