Chapter 49

• Abe stood back, feeling like he was under a microscope. Liri was in her quarters at Solrelm and had rounded up four women. They were across the room and kept looking at him with anything from shock to flushed faces from blushing. He wasn’t sure what she had told them, but he was being to feel like their science experiment. Something he did know was that they didn’t catch his attention at all. Was that part of the mating thing?
• Liri’s guard was there. He looked amused by their behavior. He wasn’t as large as the Alterealm guards but was a good size like Tor and Ulric. The thing he couldn’t quite get over was his black eyes combined with the bleached blond hair. He glanced at his mate and wondered if she was responsible for the man bleaching his hair.
• Bastian came into the room, “Sorry, I was delayed.” He paused in the hall and looked at the women. When the two of them started to bow their heads, he waved his hand, “No time for that.”
