Kallik was not happy at all to find his very pregnant wife at the borders, greeting the Akashingo healer. The fact the she wasn't a stranger gave him no relief; Aquene could go into labor any day now, and she was supposed to be resting. Not to mention, he didn't want her near the borders at all. It was too dangerous. 

But Qiao had come here to inform them of grim news. Their queen had possibly been murdered, and now the pharaoh demanded the presence of Mereo soldiers. 

Kallik stood at Aquene's side trying his hardest to put himself between her and the border. He hadn't said anything because they were in front of others, but she likely knew how upset he was. 

He was curious about the details surrounding the queen's death, as well, so he tried to keep his focus on the Akashingo wolf, all the while, fighting against the urge to escort his wife back to their den.
