Ruth heard the chattering and murmurs as she walked alongside Edwin on the familiar path behind the great monolith. The last time she was here was for Henry's last rites and was not welcomed as a human.
She hardly believe that anything had changed in the time after that but what mattered was her mate, walking her to the same place and in front of the same people who were still apprehensive of her entry into their world.
"Are you alright?" Edwin asked, glancing at her.
"When you are with me, everything is fine!" Ruth gave him a small smile.
Behind them walked Thea and Rees. Lester had also decided to attend the meeting now that he was better than before.
"Let me handle this," Edwin whispered in Ruth's ear just before they came into the opening where more than half of Vincardine was present.
