(Book 2) Chapter 60. A Passing

EVANGELINE.

Danciana and Maryka slowly rise to their feet. From their pale faces, they were not expecting that. I rein in my aura, glancing around. No one moves. I guess I don’t need to use my powers. They bow down to my simple commands. They can sense who I am, my presence alone enough.

“You should be ashamed for having your mate thrown in prison and betraying him.” I say icily to Maryka. “Hold your tongue unless I ask you to speak”

Gasps fill the room and even Danciana is visibly shaking as she realises she can’t move, my eyes blazing as they dare her to defy me.

“Luna Evangeline!” Philip exclaims. I glare at the member of the king’s court, instantly silencing him.

“Being the goddess sure makes for a boring showdown,” Ragnar mutters, and I almost smile.

“Lock the traitors, Danciana and Maryka Vilkas, in the dungeons where they will remain until their sentences are announced!” I growl, my eyes blazing.

There are probably traitors here who do not wish to see me as queen, or some forced or bound to serve the Luna Queen, or should I say Ex-Queen.
