298-Threatened To Leave
“So let me ask you this question, Beatrice!’ Sofia straightened her back while playing with her bracelet and asked, "Where were you last evening and till midnight? Did you transition? What did your wolf do? Or— more specifically-what did your fire dragon do?" The way she looked me deeper in the eye, I felt cold chills run around my skin.
'You are crazy!" I said, mustering all the courage I could muster to make it seem like her accusations did not trigger me.
’I knew you would deny. But don’t you think it is fairly easy to prove you are not what you claim to be? Miss Weredragon!' She let out a shrieking laugh when taunting me for trying to hide my identity from them.
*1 don—t know what you are talking about. I am a werewolf," I gulped, getting on my feet but keeping a safe distance from her.
’Are you? Well, then prove it,’ she pointed her hand at me, suggesting I shift.
'My wolf is—crazy. If I shifted I —I didn't finish because she did it for me.
’You will kill someone? Didn't you shift last night? So you are telling me, you shifted into your crazy full wolf form, and coincidentally, somebody ended up dying last night," she stroked her chin when pretending to solve the puzzle.
I was petrified to be caught by her, but it was also obvious that she had cornered me beautifully. The way she left me no choice but to remain silent was a hint that she knew what she was doing.
If I tell them I am a weredragon, I am doomed. And if anybody hears that I shifted into my crazy wolf last night, I will be one of the suspects who might have killed Varisha.
’So, what is it?’ She smirked, ’I had my suspicions about you when I found out that all my sons are your mates. That is not how it works for the werewolves, but I couldn't be sure. So, when you were enjoying your meal, I had actually added some wolfbane to it, and guess what? It didn’t hurt you one bit. You swallowed the whole meal like it was nothing, proving me right once again. So tell me, what are you here for? How did you create a mate bond with my sons?’ She was no longer smirking or being sarcastic. Her direct approach was scary. She slammed the door shut behind her when walking in my direction.
’I didn't kill anyone,’ I have lost this war. My identity was exposed to the last person who will keep it a secret.
I was beginning to wonder if I could have done anything differently. Zane knew about me, but he was also the one who didn't really care much about me. Akin and Maddox were indeed very sensitive.
’I will leave,’ I said, reassuring her.
’Good! There is a place in the Midwest. It belonged to your Weredragaon king and queen. You can go there and stay there. I don't care as much as you don't stay in my son's life,’ she added.
’I hope you understood me. Because if you don't leave before midnight, I will not only tell everyone you are a weredragon but I will also accuse your dragon of murdering Varisha,’ she threatened me when stepping so close that I could see the evil smile back at me through her eyes, "Midnight! My driver will take you to the Midwest," she told me, and she would not let me go alone either. Obviously, she didn't believe I would leave, so she wanted to be certain that I had left with her driver.
I just stayed in my spot and watched her give me one last smirk before walking out of the room. It was pretty clear that I was in a huge mess now.
’Let's go, Beatrice! Before we end up like any other weredragon, let's just leave,' Ace sighed, 'let’s go home.'
