Chapter 31

Zenovia

Cynthia waited for a solid one minute to ensure that they were well out of earshot before coming towards me.

“So, when you realized that Callahan was inclined to dance with me, to choose me as a mate, you come up with a solid plan to snatch him from me?”

She asked while placing her hands on her hips.

“No, that is not what I was trying” I replied weakly while reaching for a glass of water beside the bed.

My throat suddenly felt dry and I wanted to drink some water. Cynthia reached for the jug and poured water into the glass and held it in front of me.

But instead of giving it to me, she held it high above her head, away from my reach.

“What are you doing?” I croaked and she asked me in the same cunning voice.

“That is what I asked you. Why are you after my man? Are you forgetting who you are, bloody breeder??”

I tried explaining I had not done any such thing.

“He was dancing with you. I was not even on the dance floor. I was sitting by my side, in a corner, away from everyone.”

She gritted her teeth, “Don’t you try to act smart with me! You act all innocent and then pretend to be saintly so that Callahan will look at you. There was no need for you to attract attention to yourself if you wanted to sit in a corner. I see what you are doing…playing these little games.”

I did not even hear half the things she was blabbering, my focus was on the glass and wanting to reach that.

I would have grabbed it myself and thrown her out of my sight but I was too weak and trembling. The transformation had not happened completely, that much I could make out from Callahan’s eyes and the way he had shot me a look of
