Tried and True, Chapter 243: Childproofing
Chapter 243: Childproofing
In the shady alcove where they first met, Tamaes unburdened his heart. “I am afraid for Adin.”
Taweel didn’t seem surprised. “What changed?”
“My trust.” Tamaes’s wings shifted restlessly. “Why did you ask me to stay with him?”
“Valerian suggested it. And ….”
“And?”
“Gabriel brought more than one message.”
“What did he say?”
“After selection, our children will leave with their mentors, and this encampment will not welcome another newfoundling until ….”
Tamaes’s voice dropped to a whisper. “Until?”
“Until the danger passes.”
With growing dread, Tamaes asked, “When will that be?”
Swallowing hard, Taweel said, “When Adin leaves.”
