Two Alphas walked slightly too fast, pretending their matebonds weren't screaming at them like fire alarms in a burning building.
Garrett had sworn Agnes would be on her best behavior. Fin hadn't known Garrett brought her until an hour ago. Leaving Agnes alone in Darkhowler territory with her father's allies still circling was a risk Garrett wasn't willing to take. So Fin allowed it.
He assumed, at worst, there would be tension. The last time Serena and Agnes had been in the same room, there had been a physical fight. He didn't know the full scope of it, outside of Serena channeling her flame, which even that he found hard to believe.
None of it sounded like Serena.
But something had been pulling at him through the matebond for the better part of that last hour. The matebond carried emotion, not context, and he'd spent the last forty minutes telling himself it was tension from last night and Garrett would help cheer her up.
He was wrong.
