Miri's Pov
By the time I got back to the fortress, my brain was chewing itself alive with what-ifs. I barely said two words to the guards at the gates. My legs moved on instinct into the main building and towards my room while my thoughts screamed through every possible disaster that could unfold once my mates arrived.

What if Lisa asked something insane—which, to be fair, was almost guaranteed? what if Corin just stared at them with that expression that made you question your entire life? And most importantly, why was I so bothered? I just found out about them yesterday and haven't been able to think about any of this properly, but I still wanted my guardians to accept them.
I dropped my bag in my room and paced.
