The Gift The Moon Gave

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO

THIRD PERSON POV

Gone were the years of barbarians, times in which their kind was ruled solely by the satisfaction of their beast. A time where primal instincts thrive and predatory ways were the key to living, with the male of their society being the dominant sex. They were gone, laws rewritten and new traditions and social norms derived. And yet here before the entire Studi household stood a group whom beg to differ.

The man that stood at the archway of the foyer was larger than any of them had seen , and Cheveyo had seen alot. In fact looking over each of them it was apparent that they were all large, abnormaly so too. Yet he could sense that his peoples blood ran deep in their veins, though they were far different. So far they had not been allowed to see Adora, and the only form of comfort given was the fact that she needed rest, and her mate was attending to her. Them, been brought there on the outside would seem to be a considerate gsture by this mate of his daughter. But, the man knew better, he knew that there was more to them being their, for their actions and behaviour spoke volumes.

This interest in them however, would soon revealed has the questioning ensued, about the men from the cave. It was blatanly obvious that this had triggered something with, for not only had Cheveyo, whom the question was directed toward reacted poorly, but so did the entire family. Their expressions were guarded but soon slipping once again to mirror those of a more relaxed state. This had caught the strangers eyes and had piqued their interest.

"That remains to be our business until we can safely say that your leader means my daughter well and that my family will remain safe." Cheveyo replied as he crossed his arms over his chest a he continud to watch. The man was no fool, it was obvious there was a chain of command. And even more so whom headed it and those whom followed. Clearly, none of those present in that room were the head which only meant that the man by the archway wasn't him.

"Forgive us but there seem to be a misunderstanding of sorts. You being brought here was not to transact any business deals hence there will not any negotiating. When questions are asked, answers will be provided." Soothe like velvet and calm like a spring afternoon were his demeanor and words, or so it would seem. Deception, subtle but it  could be sense by Cheveyo as his eyes narrowed slightly. 

"Again, that will remain to be a family matter, nothing you or anyone else in this needs to be  concerned with." Firm, a reply he gave.

"Family matter that you have yet to deal." Henry replied.

"Lest we forget that it was this family matter that had almost cost the life of your children. I would suggest you answer." Benjamin shot, his tone condencending as he stared hard at the man. Something stirred within Cheveyo at the man's tone, something that seemed to have rubbed him the wrong way. Causing his beast to bristled at the blatant disrespect shown. Disliking the way he spoke to him, indignant and patronizely as though he were a mere child.

"Is that what you think? You command and I will roll on my back and bark? Then let me correct you, what you need to know is my business not yours or any other person in this room. So, you want to threathen me go ahead, lets see how soon you get those answers." Turning his nose up in distaste, Cheveyo challenged the man with a stare down.

"थेन मय ई असक् इन हिस् स्तेअद्?" All eyes turned to look at the figure that had just entered the room. None of them heard him or sense him approaching as large as he was. Definitely putting the other man by the archway to shame, Cheveyo, Cassidy and Ronan stared on intrigued for no doubt he could very well be one of the world's great wonder. 

(Then may I ask in his stead?)
