Swiftcurrent Creek Fuck love, got too many reasons

Something about the way Arric said it made her feel — safe. It made her wish that she could stay here. But only for a moment. She didn't want to be a pack wolf, and she didn't think any pack other than Kvarsheim would want her anyway. But it would be nice, she thought, to feel protected.
It just wasn't her reality.
He scares me, Reverie admitted quietly. She knew Tybault wouldn't hurt her, at least not physically. She did not know that he wouldn't hurt those she loved, carve a path of destruction and at the end of it all drag her glassy-eyed and trapped back to The Gilded Sea. Everett had said they weren't here to bring her back, and she believed him — but not Tybault. She knew her littermate too well, knew how he craved control. And he would never be able to control her here.
