___ The muscles around Gabriel’s jaw tensed, and his teeth clicked together. Tension filled his muscles, and he had, for one instance, the impulse to demand all three children leave his home. It was not because they were so much wolf, or because they had come from his brother’s bastard seed, but because that name meant something entirely different to him. Suddenly, the names that he had listed were a fraction of those he knew of. That number, however, was also a fraction—Gabriel knew only what he had learned through the raven and the wolves. ___He felt his upper lip twitch, curling whiskers upwards, and forced his jaw to unhinge. “Because your family is much larger then I imagined. There’s a boy here who carries that name—he also looks more like a wolf then coyote.” Flicking one ear in a motion that was closest to irritation, he continued, voice dropping an octave as he found it impossible to hide the hatred in it. “One of the leaders of Dahlia de Mai holds the surname as well.” |
