When I woke up again, Maggie had come toward me, grinning widely. I kept my face averted from her as she approached and spoke to me.

“I’ve heard a lot about you. Beryl. You’re Elder Frederic’s mate. I’m told he’d do anything for you. My… husband is very much the same.”

“Are we going to bond over loving husbands?* I asked in a softer voice, trying my best to mimic Beryl. I crossed my legs and glared at her. Thankfully, she was calling me by Beryl’s name. She hadn’t realized who I really was.

“Well, you see, I’ve heard that you don’t support Luther or me. Your husband’s opinion is highly valued in the pack. If you started to see things our way, his loyalty would be solidified, as would your pack’s loyalty to Luther’s cause,’ she explained. Again, she looked at me with that sweet and gentle smile.

I still couldn’t believe someone that looked so caring, innocent and even frail could be so cruel and vicious. She really had fooled all of us! Even her own twin.

“What’s in it for me?” I asked, raising an eyebrow.

“Why are you being so uncooperative? This is best for your pack. The crown is brutal and vicious. They’ll kill you all,’ Maggie said. “We are nicer than that.”

“You haven’t done anything to make me believe that. Anyone that seeks power the way you do can’t be a better option than what we already have.”

Maggie sneered and walked away from me, shaking her head.

“Well, that is too bad. It looks like I won’t be able to convince you. How I wish we could be friends but… you leave me no choice,” she said with a soft sigh.

I shook my head and laughed. It was such a dramatic cliche and I’d had enough of her acting.

“I know you!” Maggie whipped around and glared at me. “Ciana Black!”

“Bingo!” I grinned even more. “Too bad you can’t use Frederic anymore. He won’t tolerate you going after his wife, kidnapping her and threatening her. Because guess what, everyone else thinks I am her.’

“What a surprise… It seemed like I underestimated you!” Maggie snarled. She came toward me like she was going to strangle me.

I stepped back and chuckled again. “Frederic won’t think that Luther is the best option for the pack once he finds out what you did to his ‘wife.”
