Capítulo 483: Chapter 483: Traitor

One would think my friends would have prepared me better. Told me everything I needed to know about this challenge business. Who knew Batsheva could say no?

You don't have any support in the family, Sunny broke through, voice low and anxious. She doesn't have to fight you.

Thanks so much for telling me before I made an idiot of myself, I shot back at her while Batsheva slowly stood. Now what?

Sunny didn't answer. But Batsheva did.

"Traitor," she said, joy in her voice as she slowly circled me, her vampires closing in while Pannera and her family fell back. All of them. Sebastian, Sunny. Uncle Frank.

Uh-oh.

"Strike one," Celeste said.

Syd, Sunny reached for me in desperation. I'm sorry, this is my fault. I never expected you to challenge her so soon. Syd... you have to run.

I did not like the sound of that. Especially when the clan clustered closer, glowing eyes burning with white fire, fangs out, hissing and growling warning me I'd stepped in it this time up to my neck.
