Bab 453: The Rite of Veneration - Part 5

WANNA SNEAK PEEK? Are you reading QUEEN OF BEASTS but have never read FALLING IN LOVE WITH THE KING OF BEASTS? I'm looking for a couple volunteers to read a scene and make sure it gives enough information for those who don't have the background of KING. If you're one of those, and would like to read a minor spoiler scene ahead of publication, let me know! (You can just click comment at the bottom of this chapter.)

ELRETH

Watching Aaryn fight was thrilling. He'd never looked more powerful, or more desirable.

But Elreth's heart sank to her toes when after several long minutes, a dozen of the Equines still stood, while only Aaryn and two of his males remained on their feet.

The fight wasn't won, but it was about to be. There was no way Aaryn could overcome the seven or eight who kept a wide circle around him. It was only a small balm that none were quick to move in on him, to give him the chance.
