"Just do as I say," Zen replied impatiently, "And before that, make a scene. React loudly, angrily. Shout that you don't believe Emira has meddled in our mating. Do you understand?"
Kael stared at him as if he'd lost his mind but followed his brother's instructions to the tee even following banging his hand on the table, "What nonsense are you talking, Zen! How could Emira have meddled in our mating? We've only just met her!" His voice echoed, raw with disbelief and irritation, carrying exactly the volume Zen had demanded.
