"Where's Onyx?" Serena and Elara said at the same time the moment Gav walked in.
He was supposed to be taking Onyx potty and getting him a fresh bottle so Elara could come into the war room.
Gav dropped into his chair. "He's with Velkaris."
"By himself?" they asked in unison, both already on their feet.
"Yes." Gav's voice was flat, the kind of flat that came from losing an argument with a baby dragon. "And I'm not going to give a dragon a bottle. That's ridiculous."
Serena and Elara were already moving towards the door. Both shot Gav a look of pure annoyance. He said he'd take care of Onyx.
"Stop." Tiberon's Alpha tone hit the room like a wall. Both women froze mid-step, turning slowly, their expressions identical masks of maternal mutiny.
Dex and Hale felt it immediately, their mates' frustration bleeding through their matebonds like a low current of heat.
Aegon:She is upset.
Dex:She is misinformed.
