Char looked at the three of us with open suspicion the moment we walked through the door. Being home hours earlier than any of us expected, there was no point in even trying to deny that something went wrong - all thanks to my outburst. Even though it seemed like a necessary outburst, even I knew the timing had been inappropriate.

I wished I’d waited to say anything of the sort until after I talked to my Sires about it. I needed to know that they would have my back when Lathyn and I made our move toward reform.

"You're home early," Hollis said, stating the obvious as Hydra moved to curl up with him on the couch. It made me sad to think that one day, sooner than I'd like, she wouldn't be able to cuddle on the furniture with us. One day, she wouldn't even fit inside this part of the house.

Being so separated from her felt strange when she was an extension of me. We shared a bond that not even my Sires and I shared.

"Evidently, people are whispering about Lathyn and Mireyah having an affair," Tate said, glancing at me as he spoke the words. I didn't bother to deny it given the truth to it. Aristela herself had said the words plainly enough for anyone to hear. For immortal beings, Gods gossiped more than any being I’d ever met.

And I'd met some gossipy humans and Sylfes.

"People will say anything if they think it will gain them popularity," I said. "I'm sure they would love to predict the demise of Lathyn Majele," I drawled mockingly. Silence came as the only response and anger roared through my head like the steady dripping of melting ice in a silent room. "You believe them?" I asked, the challenge clear in my voice. I glared at them, silently willing them to consider their response carefully.

I wouldn't tolerate any hit to my character or hint that there was a lack of trust between us. Not from them. An insinuation like that after everything I’d tolerated, everything I’d forgiven would be a betrayal in itself.

The threat of them thinking me capable of something like that made my heart stall in my chest.

Hollis stepped forward cautiously, glancing back at the others in a moment of support before he spoke. "Of course we don't believe them, Mireyah," Hollis whispered. "We trust you, but the fact that others think it is true is problematic. I think it would just be best for all involved if you and Lathyn kept a certain distance between you until things died down." The others gave gentle nods, seeming to support his suggestion fully. That it would come from the one who had been more supportive of me in the past only made it hurt worse.

"So I should alter my life based on gossip and rumors? Funny you think that now, when the rumors do not concern you for the first time," I grumbled. “You didn’t seem to think I should cater to them when the rumors were about how inappropriate our relationship was.
