Eljay nodded at Maia's words. He had grown up alongside his birth family and lived by them most of his life, but it was completely different with Brecheliant. He'd grown and changed so much since joining the pack. We really have, Eljay said softly as he leaned into Maia. I grew up surrounded by family, but I don't think I ever really knew how relaxed and encouraging family should feel until I joined Brecheliant. His parents had been great, and so had his aunt and uncle — but he had always been the odd one out, the one who just wasn't as talented and successful as most of his siblings and cousins. It had been tough for him. Here at Brecheliant, he was still different than everyone else, but somehow it didn't feel like that was a bad thing.
