Blackfoot Forest Family portrait

"Don't you dare blame Sam, he is the only one who understands. He was there for me when you weren't, he helped me pick up the pieces. So don't you ever think that he would hurt me or I swear on our dead mother that I will rip your throat out." Liri was in his face, snarling as she leaned up on her tippy toes just as Samuel appeared in the clearing.

He nudged her before turning to Leto, Liri rubbed her head affectionately against him to draw comfort. The whole ordeal had her shaking with anger and loss as she recalled Ameta. "Sam, this is my brother, Leto. Leto, this is my mate, Sam." Liri introduced the two rather calmly, letting them know they were in laws. 

"The male who did this to me was my last mate. As if you have the right to question who I associate with." Liri snorted derisively. "You didn't care almost two years ago, why care now?"
