Kyllian scoffed, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. "Pain? I don't feel pain. Why would you think I feel pain?" he asked, right before nearly tripping over his own boot and landing on the carpet.
Talon arched a brow. "Because I know how long you've admired her. I know about the way you used to sneak looks at her whenever you visited the palace."
Kyllian groaned into the floor. "I should've known," he mumbled. "I sensed it. I knew something was off between the both of them. But a vampire and a werewolf mating hasn't been seen for ages. How could I have suspected that?"
"This is just a temporary setback, Alpha," Talon said. He placed a firm, reassuring hand on Kyllian's shoulder, which promptly got shrugged off. "It's just two weeks. She'll be back with you."
