Pregnant After One Night With The Lycan By Kellie Brown

Chapter 21 The Montenero’s New Apprentice

Tanya’s POV:

I turn towards Lily, surprised by the chill in her tone. I’ve never seen her be openly hostile before, but when I look into her eyes, it’s not just anger that fills them; it’s fear. What could she possibly be afraid of? I can’t figure out what’s going through her mind, but I don’t get the chance to ask her. Ayana leaps at the opportunity to accuse me once again, yelling in my face.

“So, she’s not a murderer, but she’s a thief!” she cries.

Eric and Marco help Cathy to her feet as the princess slowly begins to recover. Still, Ayana is relentless in her efforts to make me seem like the villain.

“That extraordinary perfume, you took it from Lily’s family! They recently showed Montenero’s custom perfume collection at the perfumery. Tanya must have stolen it from there.”

“I would never do that,” I try to explain. “It’s true that I visited the perfume display, but I didn’t steal anything. I made this fragrant potion myself, recreating the formula from what I smelled in the special collection.”

Everyone’s eyes dart between Ayana and me, unsure of whom to believe.

“Lair!” she persists. “The Montenero’s extraordinary perfumes are unique. No one else can create their special effects. How dare you say that you made it? You obviously stole it!”

Even Marco’s friend, Oliver, seems like he doesn’t know what to say. I start to panic again, fearing they’ll try to arrest me once more.

“I’m telling the truth, I swear,” I say pleadingly. “I recreated it from memory.”
