Larksong Grotto the bazaar of bad dreams

I am so SO SO sorry for the hold up on this.

Hiram truly thought all those things of Vuk. He loved her, dearly so. Yet her heart was something he could never have. Nor was it some thing he believed he could win. She belonged to Terich through and through, Hiram knew this and had cast his selfish desires aside in taking Jhala as his mate. Yet still, it pained him to be so harshly reprimanded by Vuk. All it took was a word. His name.

Hiram's ears fell flat against his skull and he turned 20 shades of silent.
