"Ah!" I couldn't help but scream as the sharp pain redoubled to the point that my body shook uncontrollably. I tried to mind-link Maxus, but my thoughts were too clouded with pain to form a coherent message.
"Now let's start by asking who you really are." Gaia walked around me, circling me as though she were a predator ready to strike, arms folded across her chest as she shot death glares. "Who are you and what are you doing here?"
I looked up at her, but my lips were shut, doubting whether I would reveal my true identity. Since Maxus and I had agreed to delay the details about me until I gave birth to my child. But since this brat princess was demanding answers, I said, "Why don't you ask the Lycan king himself?"
"Wrong answer!" She snapped her fingers, and I screamed, feeling the cracking of my bones as she used her powers to inflict pain on me. My eyes were burning, and I could tell that my wolf was more than furious as we were being provoked in such a way.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to shift into my wolf form until the pregnancy was over, so I had to endure the torture in my human form.
