280-Let's Sell Beatrice!
Maura Despair:
'That omega she-wolf? She is a crazy bitch and not even worth my time. If I have to find myself a young she-wolf to sleep with, I can find her anywhere. I don’t need to bring a crazy one home and then get myself in trouble," he shook his head, dissatisfied with the arrangement.
Of course, he didn't know how important Beatrice could be. The instant my mother told me she could smell the scent of a princess on me, I knew it was Beatrice Mintz.
’She is not a she-wolf," I said. ’You must remember the war since you are too old and must have been a part of it." I rolled my eyes, as I couldn't expect any less from him.
"The weredragons claimed two of their babies were stolen, but everyone thought they were lying to hide the fact that one of them killed a werewolf citizen. Beatrice is one of those babies.” My words unwrinkled his forehead in realization, but before he could be too pleased with the thought, he frowned again.
’So what? It’s not like she can bring dead animals back to life," he shrugged, trying to explain why I was so important to him.
’Once you have her, you don’t need me. In fact— she is everything you need," I was shaking when giving him the wrong ideas. Everything I learned from my mother was knowledge kept from most of the werewolves.
’You can impregnate her and the newly born chi—," before I could continue, he shook his head and waved his hand to stop me.
*1 am too old to be taking care of a baby," he scoffed at me.
’You don't have to. Just feed the baby. Eat the baby's heart and you will be the strongest ever," I muttered in anger at him for making me do this. That was it.
I did it.
He looked impressed, but he then gestured at me to keep going and explain it better to him.
"The werewolves fed one of the baby to the alpha king brothers so that they can be the only strongest one alive and the bloodline takes over the throne. If you eat the newly born baby, you will attain those powers too." I said, giving him determination. The way he was zoned out and playing with his beard, I could tell I had intrigued him.
’Why would I wait for Beatrice? I can impregnate your mother-," he shrugged evilly, but I knew he would suggest that.
’Hey," the instant I heard Beatrice's voice, I knew it was a sign that I must do it. The world has given me a chance to save my mother and free her from this agonizing pain forever.
’Beatrice! Oh my God! Are you okay? I heard—heard about the whole incident. What happened? Are you safe?" I said everything in one breath, exciting Ubel.
He looked even more excited and kept gesturing for me to do something. I was having a hard time talking to both of them at the same time, so I excused myself and hung up on Beatrice.
’What?" I asked him.
’Bring her home tonight,’ he said. "That girl is the reason everybody is dying. I want her tonight so that I can get my hands on her while she is still mourning over whatever loss she dealt with," Ubel suggested, and with a deep breath, I called Beatrice again and told her I was coming over to meet her.
’I will only leave, but when I come back, I want my mother gone from here," I said confidently.
"Fine. But you will stay on the call with me. I want to hear everything you two talk about while coming here. In the meantime, I will send you the location where I am tying your mother in iron chains," he reassured me he will not mess up. Obviously, I cannot leave my mother without chains for now, so it seemed like a good idea.
