Moonspear under her dark wings

When she saw her sisters coming toward her, Alya turned her face into @Nikai's neck in apology. "They need me right now," she whispered to her mate, her heart twisting at the thought of leaving his side. As much as her sisters needed her right then, she couldn't help but feel that this new pain would be more easily borne with Nikai beside her. Still, it had never been the Cerberus's way to include others in their private affairs.

Alya wondered at how this might change things between herself and Nikai. They'd only ever been together away from the other girls. "I'll come and find you soon," she said, her dark eyes full of shock and sorrow. She was difficult to draw away from the three-legged male, but ultimately succumbed to Hydra's will.

How could she not?
