Mira
"You’re bluffing." I state, crossing my arms. She laughs.
"You would think so. You’re still as naive and stupid as when we were kids. He is not on the ground, but he is nearby. He is always nearby." I automatically look up into the sky, but even there I can’t see anyone.
"Uh huh. Good for you. Now I have to get ho before my parents think sothing happened to their precious daughter." Amber shakes her head.
"The alarms already went off when you crossed the border, Mira. The only reason the guards haven’t arrested you is because I mind-linked Maze I was here. You are banished and declared persona non grata. You’re the enemy. I have free range to kill you on sight. But I do have so questions before we get that far." She gloated. It’s well hidden, but that is what this is. Living with Magoth and his misfits, I know gloating by now. But I am also intrigued.
"What kind of questions?"
"Why did you dare Josephine to kiss Maze on his birthday? You knew you were mates. Why bait him like that. Set him up to failure." I snort.
"Set him up? He was supposed to push her away imdiately. Banish her for touching him when he belonged to soone else. It was a test to see his loyalty to ." Amber nods, as if she knew that would be my answer.
"And you didn’t even deny you dared her to do it. You set them both up."
"Why should I deny it? I dared her, and she was all too willing to do it. Being a whore already, she had her eyes on him forever."
"All the females had their eyes on him. He was the future Alpha. And what you did was wrong."
"What I did was necessary, and he failed. I got the fuck out of there. I am not going to be with soone who can’t even push a lousy Oga off of him."
"He did push her away. He chased after you. He was devastated, and we had to clean up your ss. He searched everywhere for you. Traveled to look himself. He mourned you. And then you ca back the day of the attack. Why?" I roll my eyes. Seriously? She wants my whole fucking lifestory. Goddess how boring.
"Isn’t that obvious? I ca back to take my rightful place as Luna and Queen. I am the only rightful person for those positions. Even now. I was his first mate, and I should have been his only. This is not my fault! It’s his, and the Goddesses." Amber just stares at . "I was killed before I could get to the pack."
"But you are alive."
"I died, Amber. And I was brought back to life. Not by you, not by Abby or Matt or anyone else. Not even Maze. Magoth brought back. Took back. None of you were there when I needed you!" I spit it in her face, wanting to see her squirm, but doesn’t even flinch.
"Why should we, Mira? You have never thought of anyone but yourself. Not even when we were kids. Everything was about you. You played us out against each other for your fun. Why should we help you? You set up your mate and fled when he didn’t live up to so unrealistic standard." Why is she trying to reason with ? I never did anything wrong. I always thought of myself, because I am the most important to think of. My parents always taught I have to take care of myself. Why does she try to fault for that?
"You can talk from now and until the moon turns pink, Amber. I did what was necessary. I put myself first, which is what I will always do. Maze is mine, and if I have to burn the realm down to get him, then so be it. He’ll never be with that abomination to a fox slut. She will be dead before she becos Queen and Luna!" Amber sighs.
"No, Mira, she will not." And with that she shifts into her wolf. Fuck, I hadn’t anticipated on her actually shift. I look around, and from everywhere growls can be heard now. I know what I must do, and I am not looking forward to doing it.
Amber’s wolf jumps at , but I touch the amulet I have around my neck and imdiately feel the earth shift. It’ll always transport back to the maker, which is a hag in the campsite. I had it made, because of eventualities like this. I appear in her tent, and she cackles.
"Got into trouble, my dear?" She asks with a snide voice. I roll my eyes, rushing out of her tent and back into my own. I need to have a damn good explanation for Magoth in the morning.
My conversation with Amber plays over and over in my head. She thinks this is all my fault and that I will fail. But she is wrong! I only ever did what was necessary, and I will show her. I am going to win, and when I am Queen of them all, she and everyone else who ever opposed , will be dead!
