Alaric shut his mouth the moment the question slipped out. He clearly saw both of them mark her. Such a dumb question.
Brilliant. Truly. Top of his class at the Royal Academy and he just asked who marked the woman after watching two alphas sink their fangs into her neck.
Having learned from the times Dexmon bit off his head, he asked for the purpose of determining who would carry her.
He should've asked which one of them was claiming her. That was the actual question on everyone's mind.
"Hyran, I need a portal to a private room in the infirmary for her," Alaric called. He stepped back from Serena, deciding to let them sort it out. He'd intervene if they tore her in half.
Hyran opened a portal and everyone watched. Unable to look away. Thinking the exact same thing.
Gavriel took control and scooped her up in his arms. He didn't need to be told or ask.
