Veyra was shy.
Of course she was.
This was the first time she had ever wanted to take something truly serious with someone — very serious.
For all her life, she had been a fierce warrior of the Furious five. Men had courted her, tried to win her favor with bravado, gifts, or flowery words.
Yet none of them mattered to her well unless they were younger men but even then...
There were plenty of men in Winter.
Strong ones.
Handsome ones.
Rich ones.
But she had only ever felt this strange pull toward him.
Azel.
It had started as simple attraction — the kind a warrior feels when meeting another warrior of strength.
But somewhere along the line, it had changed. It was no longer just admiration.
She didn't know what this feeling was… she had asked one of the shipmen that came with Azel and they said it was love, so it all added up.
Yes, she had been jealous when she heard Edna was pregnant with his child.
She was only human.
