Silence.
For a moment, the Nightbane siblings froze, their expressions looking comical due to the similarity, yet Ivy didn't budge.
Finally, they blinked, before an innocent expression spread across their face. "Ivy, why are you getting angry?"
"Because I understand your feelings, and I feel the same; however, Silas is my priority too. If you constantly put him down and try to separate him from me... I will hurt." Ivy's soft voice was filled with steadiness.
"But..." Ember began; however, Kael stopped her and motioned her to listen.
Ivy's heart softened at her big brother's understanding nature, and she continued,
"We are husband and wife, and nothing can change that. I need some privacy time with him, and I don't want you all to call him words like bastard and such."
Looking at the sad expression on Ember and Felix's faces, she sighed.
