RETH
Reth never took his eyes off of Gahrye. He knew—he knew!—the male was the right choice to defend Elia. He'd already had it in mind to send him. But he was so torn inside. Seeing images in his mind of another male helping Elia, living with her, being there to comfort her when she was sad—or caring for her during her pregnancy…
His beast rose every time he imagined her beginning the birth pains and he was not there. Imaging another male helping her through that.
