TAUNTS AND JEERS

I quickly looked down at my feet.

"Good evening." I greeted.

I could feel her gaze over me.

I could tell how much she hated me.

There was no distinguishing it.

"What are you doing alive?" She asked me.

I looked back up at her.

She seemed shocked to see me.

Then I remembered what Xaden had said.

I had been poisoned.

Was she the one who had done it?

She just gazed over me.

"How did you get out alive?" She asked me as she caught my dress. "You're a latent wolf aren't you? So that wolfsbane should have killed you."

I just looked at her and wondered how she could so comfortably tell me that she had tried to kill me.

"I didn't die." I said.

She twisted her face and her beauty was now replaced with a harrowing feature.

"So because you probably managed to get under Erik's skin to fuck me now he is your ally huh?" She asked me.
