Well … no wonder…
"I'm aware. And I felt his pain and fear, too—I'm not heartless, Tarkyn. But the strength of him! He's massive! As big as our biggest wolves and… that male walks a knife-edge. Did you see his eyes? Even when he couldn't stand, he was marking us for death."

🤦♀️… well, atleast Rika (although a human) is there to stay with Harth if Tark is forced to part from her… perhaps circumstances will force Rika & Harth to bond (a positive)…. disappointingly, El continues to complicate circumstances more and more, displaying another devastating lack of empathic capacity - the ’collective male’ reaction in that room to her treatment of Zev is totally lost on her - and now she is putting Tark in a double bind situation - crushing to him - in a choice of competing duties between queen & mate … perhaps Gar or Aryn will step in and save him from the situation 🤞… 🙈🙈🙈
Rika and Harth inched up behind them, but Elreth's gaze snapped to each of them. "Alone," she said, her tone leaving no room for argument.

ElReth’s ego insecurity and anger issues 🤦♀️… she is her own worst enemy …good thing Gar is there to balance the dynamic
The fire rose in Elreth's eyes, but she'd been affected enough herself to keep her anger in check.

Thank goodness … Gar & Tark!
"Fuck, El, really?"

She couldn't afford that. She couldn't let herself get trapped in her own thoughts. That was tantamount to death when she'd been in human hands. She wasn't yet confident there was any difference here.

I was hoping she had matured more than this… Elreth’s behavior can be so small 😕
"Calm yourself or I will order you into chains!" Elreth snarled from behind the wall of soldiers. She tried to push past them, but with glances for confirmation from Tarkyn—who nodded to encourage them—the males, who were accustomed to their Queen's hot-headed nature, shuffled to keep themselves between her and the threat. Though even Tarkyn considered the threat minimal from an unarmed human gripping her own child.

Try talking and senting for truth snd stop the ego trip of threatening to put people “in chains!”
"Because there's no way to know their motives," Elreth snapped at Harth.

Good points!
"He's not aggressive! He's reacting exactly the same way you did when you woke up and didn't know where you were! Surrounded by strangers!" Harth said, her eyes silvering with tears. "Why do you all treat people who respond the same way you do as if they're doing something wrong?"

Thank goodness for Behryn!
"She is," Behryn piped up and everyone turned to stare at him. "What? I can scent her from here. She's telling you the truth—and that's a hive of bees we're going to be forced to kick over."
