BathymaasHow could you have not told me? I'm your brother! Your twin! When did you marry? GalenWhile you were all gone. AriclesHave you any idea the shit storm you are about to unleash? CalebIt's why I backed down from the fighting. I didn't want anyone hurt. Least of all Bathymaas. AriclesMalphas growled. Now I want to punch you. . . . But I understand. He rubbed his gold necklace that never left him. The heart wants what it wants, and nothing will deny it. But damn . . . He turned his glare to Bathymaas. Damn.So what does this mean?
