The first month of permanent triad was complete chaos.
Umbra's residence in Pride Lands was a tower of crystallized shadow at the palace's corner. Nyx split her time between Raziel's chambers and Umbra's tower, trying to balance two relationships that demanded different things from her.
The bond with Raziel remained constant. He processed the jealousy but Nyx could feel how difficult it was for him.
"I knew it would be hard." Raziel told her one evening. "But knowing and experiencing are different. Feeling you fall asleep in his arms while I'm alone is worse than I expected."
"I can spend more nights here with you."
"No. You'd resent me for limiting your time with him, I'd feel guilty for demanding more." He said as he pulled her closer.
Meanwhile, Umbra struggled with his own limitations.
"I want more." He admitted during one of Nyx's evenings at his tower. "I want to touch you without restraint, want to take you to bed, want complete relationship instead of this."
