I pace back and forth in the ball room. My guards have just told me that Emerald and Elijah have crossed back over the border. I can’t believe they have been so stupid as to go out there alone.
They wander into the room, hand in hand, smiling.
“What on earth were you thinking?” I demand of them both before they reach me. I continue pacing.
“Relax brother, nothing happened.” Emerald says and wafts her hands at me.
“Do not Emerald,” I demand again. “Do not play this down. Where have you been?”
She lands me a bored stare and crosses her arms. “We just went out into the forest, for some alone time.”
“Alone time?” I almost shriek at her. “You can have alone time anywhere on the pack grounds!”
“Can we go now?” Nova asks.
I stop my pacing and take a few deep breaths.
