Chapter 137: Unpersuaded

AARYN

If anyone had told Aaryn that the person to sway Elreth would have been her brother, he would have laughed them out of the cave. He'd been almost nervous when the male started talking. But something was different in him. Aaryn didn't know what it was, but it was as if some of Gar's anger was gone.

And the way he spoke about the disformed…

Aaryn often forgot that Gar wasn't disformed, that he could shift. The male did it so infrequently—probably because he had a true heart of compassion for the disformed and didn't want to flaunt it in front of them.

And he was so freaking big, he usually didn't need to shift to win any kind of conflict.
