Stone Circle Mad Love

She looked a little confused when Valette explained that they had raised Keoni and Nikai together. It took her a moment to figure out that it meant Valette and Steady weren't the blood parents. Why did you have to raise them? I mean, what happened to their parents? Steph certainly wouldn't change her viewpoint on Keoni and Nikai. They would always be her brother and sister, no matter if there was no blood relation. Steph had learned early on that blood meant nothing, and that character meant everything.

He fits as a protector, she said honestly. She had been pretty out of it, but she didn't think he had hesitated to save her, with little to no regard to his own safety.
