“Very well,” Riannon snorted, “what is your so-called mate and the other is your sister. What does it possibly have to do with me?”

“I was getting to that,” it seemed like this conversation was hard for him, The kidnappers contacted me and they want to meet.”

“Go meet them then,” she tracked her shoulders, “Again, why do you call me?”
