Chapter 149

His Delusion

SKYLA.

I’m about to say something when I feel a wisp of air swirl around me. She’s leaving! Although I know she’ll remain in a way, I won’t ever get to talk to her again and oddly, that fills me with

sorrow.

‘I won’t fail you.’

‘I believe you won’t. I have faith in you, my Lioness.’ Her words seem to echo inside of me

and my eyes flash as I feel something like a sharp zing rush through me.

It affects my arms, and my head and it’s intense on my stomach and back.

My eyes blaze and I stare in the mirror at my now cat-like eyes before I close them, not wanting the women to notice them.

I won’t fail you like your people, Bastet.

She’s gone.

The moment I felt that touch, I felt it. She’s still

with me, but not in the way she has been until

now.

Now all I have left is what she has given me and

hoped for from me.

I won’t fail her.

My nails have been cut shorter, curved into almond shapes, and painted a soft pink.

My tattoo is completely covered and in my ears, I’m wearing just small pearl studs, the rest

empty. Leo’s earring is sitting on the counter and I’m waiting for my chance to swipe it.

Subtle blush and a touch of pink lipstick finish off my look.
