The Overlord's Heir
“A darkness that grew in Vaan as each hour passed. Saran entered the room without knocking. “Brother, your mate’s old friend is the only one we lost to death in the attack yesterday. What would you have us do?”
Propped on his elbow, lying on the bed beside Mikayla, Vaan brushed a loose strand of hair from her face. He couldn’t stop touching her and waiting for some sign that she felt him. Lifting his gaze, Vaan turned weary eyes to Saran. “Have you asked the Raasa for their death rites?” He had ...no idea what they did when one of their own died. After taking care of Tesai, Argan only told Vaan the matter had been handled.
“Their holy man defers to you. Eran was closest to your mate.”
Mikayla would want her Noan treated with respect. Vaan glanced at her still form beneath the covers. “If it would not offend, have a warrior’s burial prepared.” The Overlord owed the elderly Raasa a debt that could never be repaid.
Saran’s glance strayed to the bed. Vaan could not miss the sadness darkening his brother’s gaze as he bowed and took his leave.MoreLess
