The Alpha's sudden question caused Elwood to start, although a quick glance down revealed that Liffey was still securely attached to his leg. It was almost like he couldn't feel her there, but he pulled her closer even as Peregrine spotted her and subsequently moved towards the slumped Eljay.
Elwood's gaze followed Peregrine. He listened as Peregrine attempted to comfort Eljay, speaking the words that he should have but couldn't. His tongue felt dry and oversized, his throat parched and rough as sandpaper. He swallowed and then, hoarsely, agreed. "He's right," he managed to say, although he had his own doubts. Of course, he wouldn't voice them to Eljay; any number of things could happen to both Lucy and Finley, but he was unable to dwell on such dire thoughts for fear of a breakdown similar to his son's.
