I turned and grabbed her shoulders. “Even if you weren’t mated to my brother and my favorite guard, you would still belong here.”
The tears Ethallia was holding back burst open and poured down her cheeks. I hugged her again until the sniffing stopped, and I could tell she was feeling better. I caught bits and pieces of her thoughts, and they were just as sweet as her words. I gave her one last strong hug struggling to control my own tears.
-You okay, mate? - Tohr asked concerned.
-Yes, mate. I am just so happy right now. - I replied, coating my words with the love I felt for him and these people.
He sent back his love letting it wash over me. -I’m so glad, my little fyre. Now hurry so I can have you in my arms again. -
I laughed slightly and pulled away from Ethallia. “Alright. My own mate seems to be whining cause I’m not close. Can you help me finish this up?” I asked her, pushing at my quickly drying hair.
