Chapter 29: Brother?
Yoa pressed his palm against the rock, pausing as it rumbled and slid away.
Another scent now blended with Nova’s and Yoa’s staler ones.
A growl, long and low, vibrated along his chest, eyes glowing brightly like the burning sun in the midday heat. The noise shook along the earth all the way through the secret pathways leading to where Nova was currently gaping at Atia.
Atia’s laughter stopped, and his head whipped to the side with the tremor of the ground. His eyes brightened in excitement. What was up with this guy? And what was that sound-
In a matter of seconds Nova had been staring at the entrance to this beautiful hideout to seeing Yoa appear out of nowhere, pouncing on Atia in human form, a basket full of huge fish tipped over on the side.
Yoa’s forearm pressed into Atia’s throat as he held him down to the ground. Both men growled at each other, their eyes shining brightly like damn light sabres—don’t get her started on how she knows what light sabres are; an ex forced her to watch those films.
Yoa snarled in Atia’s face, drawing closer, his back muscles rippling with authority. Atia had been so imposing, but now, under Yoa, he looked tiny. Nova knew that wasn’t the case—Yoa was simply a massive beast of a man, muscles upon muscles moulded together, towering at seven feet.
Atia’s growl halted, and grinned up at Yoa. "You never told me your good news, brother." His gaze slid to Nova.
Brother? As in blood-related?!
