We took a brief break from Aris' "storytelling" to allow her to give Storm another herbal brew and for him to rest before returning to our original positions to enable her to continue.
Storm's mother and sister were still giving me dirty looks, but I ignored them as I do the looks from the pack.
When the pack was informed that Storm was ill, they sent numerous gifts and well wishes. Those who had witnessed his fainting in the Pavilion had spread rumors about what had happened, as well as Storm and I being mates.
Quinn was forced to send messages via the pack link to inform them that Storm had an allergic reaction to something he ate and nothing else, in order to dispel some of the wild stories about how I had attacked him with claws at the Pavilion.
He'd brushed over the mating rumors for the time being, telling them they'd hear from Storm himself soon.
