No Fighting.

Silas pursed his lips into a thin line, still seated beside their mate and gradually shifting his gaze over to the kraken.

"If its a fight you're looking for, than I will fight you. I will not give up my right to be her mate. She accepted me willingly and I intend to stay by her side and protect her no matter the cost."

He spoke calmly. The male stood up slowly and faced his opponent with a hard stare. He could feel her rage, her bloodlust, but beneath it all he could sense her concern over the females wellbeing.

"....stop it..."

Aki mumbled meekly. Her body ached and quaked as she tried to sit up, sore to the core.

Silas quickly swooped in to help her up, fawning over her like a mother hen.

"Don't fight. I will not have it."

Aki added, accepting the waterskin from Silas and wetting her throat with the water.
