Aeryn smiled and wrapped her hair around her left arm twice. “Everything else look good?”
“Yes. You are stunning, as always. Now, let’s go and eat.” Serin got her crutches situated, and they left their rooms and headed down the hall.
When they passed the entrance, Serin felt the curious gazes on her and the outright stares on Aeryn.
Aeryn’s cheeks warmed. “I had forgotten about that.”
“That they stare?”
“As long as it is staring, that’s fine. It’s when it gets to touching that I have an issue.”
Serin smiled, and they walked across the square and then began the two-kilometre walk to the town and the royal hall.
Aeryn didn’t help her. It was one of Serin’s favourite things about her. She assisted when requested and didn’t make a fuss. If Serin needed it, Aeryn was capable of carrying her and probably half a ton extra. She was very strong, but she looked like a fairy tale princess. Serin grinned. Alohi was going to gnash his teeth or crawl onto Aeyrn’s lap.
When they entered the royal hall, many others were there, and the room went silent as Aeyrn was fully seen. There was a click, and Serin chuckled. “Yeah, Thera has the camera.”
Thera stepped forward. “Aeryn, you look... tight.”
Hara walked over. “Yeah, we will get something a bit friendlier to your curves. Holy shit, you are tall.”
Serin laughed. “She could be an alpha, but she isn’t.”
Aeryn blushed. “I had a late growth spurt.”
Alohi came up, and his eyes took her in like she was dessert. “Who are you?”
“Aeryn. I am Serin’s assistant.”
“You are a special beta, like Haravin.”
“You are correct. I am a bit taller as my manifestation uses a bit of muscle mass to control.”
“You are spectacular. Haravin is gorgeous, but you are stellar.”
“Thank you.”
Haravin shrugged. “I take no offense. You are... amazing, just from viewing.”
Kekoa walked over. “You had an effective concealment.”
“For those looking for beauty, obscure it, and their gazes will move on.” Aeryn smiled. “A lot less lame pickup lines have to be dealt with that way.”
He chuckled. “You are a lovely addition to the islands.”
Serin listened to them talk, and she called out, “Our advertising shenanigans begin tomorrow.”
Aeryn called back, “At four in the morning.”
Serin grinned. “I will get you something nice for the holidays.”
Narro helped her get to her spot at the table and assisted her in getting to a kneeling position. The crutches were slid under the table so she could still grab them. Everyone was slowly circling Aeryn, even the ladies. It was highly amusing, but then, this was why she covered up.
Aeryn looked around and said, “If we don’t have dinner soon, I am going to start biting, and trust me, none of you will like it.”
Serin laughed. “Come and sit next to me. I need extra hands.”
Aeryn took her seat and sighed as she settled in next to Serin. “They sure are a friendly bunch.”
