Exton

The music resumed with the three men returning.  Ob had done something he hadn't done in ages, hidden his true thoughts from his Kin, and his wife. The anger burns deep. Pandora can sense his control, tapping on the wall. He blinks slowly, slit pupils dilating, but not going back to round.

Tori and Ike watch him, their thoughts winging back and forth. Stoney catches a stray thought. He pushes his mind against the wall Ob has thrown up.

Let it go Bro.

Ob shakes his head, knowing Pandora can hear Stoney, but not him.

Rath'll return. He'll blame us for his brother casting him out, for losing Laila. He won't give a damn about our house rules. His eyes settle on his wife, meeting her puzzled gaze. He won't get our people Bro. He won't. A low growl rumbles through his thoughts. He comes back here and I'll rip him apart, no matter what his brother says.

A worried frown narrows Pandora's eyes. The song is slow, and Ob draws her onto the floor. Pulling her close, he says nothing, just molds his body to hers. Finally she whispers, "Talk to me."

Ob rests his cheek against her hair, breathing in her scent, letting the calm of her being slide through him. He channels her powers, letting them slide the anger from the surface.

"I love you Bruha. I love you. I love Chloe. If that... If he returns," His voice breaks, a soft growl rumbles. No one hears, except Pandora, his Kin, and those with sensitive hearing... like the vampires.
