Layla
I walk and see Beta Ryan step into my path. “Hello Layla. This is my mate, Violet.”
I look up at the tall brunette. “Nice to meet you, Violet.”
“Hello Layla. I heard about your fight with the rogues. You were very brave.” Her eyes are kind. Ryan curves his hand around her waist and pulls her close. I can see the adoration in his eyes for her. It pricks at me a bit tonight.
“Nothing like being in the wrong place at the wrong time.” I make my tone teasing and light. “But seriously I’m glad I was there so he didn’t get hurt. How is he doing? Losing a parent is never easy. And to watch it happen is….indescribably painful.” Grayson’s smell is too close again and I know he is behind me.
“He’s having a rough go, but we have him in a counseling group for kids who have lost parents.” Vio
