Zane’s POV
The road back was mostly done in silence. My bodyguards were pissy that I’d left them behind and rushed into danger, but they didn’t argue when I explained the situation.
I picked up Eva, while Cain rode on Noah’s wolf, his slightly darker fur blending into the night. The children still didn’t understand why their Aunt Selena and Uncle Bali did what they did. And telling them in a way they understood was hard. But with some help from Arella, we got the message of jealousy and bitterness across, letting them know they hadn’t done anything wrong.
That it wasn’t their fault…
Silence fell then--- well, at least until Cain decided to strike up a conversation with Noah and Marcus, telling them all about how he’d saved his Mom from Bali and Selena. Which Eva most definitely didn’t
