章 106: Not That Kind of Rule

ELRETH

Elreth had taken beast form to leave Aaryn because she wanted to move quickly. And she wanted an excuse for not talking to him more. But she threw the beast off before she was halfway home. She needed to think.

What was wrong with her? Why did she keep letting her emotions rule and lashing out?

Images of the faces of the elders when she'd torn into them twisted her gut. Then she flashed on everything she'd said to Gar the night before and she groaned. That was twice she'd used her rank to set people down and she knew it was wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong.

And Aaryn? The way his face opened in shock when she'd given him that parting shot… she groaned and started jogging.
