Chapter 425: Liar, Liar

ELRETH

"She has to have lied," Elreth said urgently. "If they found the outsiders, the outsiders are either dead or they would have warned my dad, right?"

Aaryn frowned. "I guess? They never had direct contact with the disformed. I didn't know they even communicated with anyone in WildWood until Reth told us—"

"I have to ask him," Elreth said, throwing the furs back and darting out of bed to dress. Aaryn followed her quickly, both of them dressing silently, then racing out of the cave and into the meadow. Elreth prayed her parents were home and Gar hadn't had to go find them. Though she could probably follow his trail if he went to the house first.

But as soon as they got out of the cave, it was apparent that Gar wasn't with her parents—he was busy with his mate in the meadow.
