Without warning, she tipped the vial, letting the Wolfsbane spill over my torn ceremonial cloak. The liquid seeped into the torn fabric and almost instantly, I began to feel its burning pain. I bit back on my lips to stifle a scream but the agony was too much. A pained cry escaped my lips, echoing through the clearing.
“Stop!” I pleaded, tears streaming down my face. “Please, just stop!”
But Ember’s face twisted in a gleeful rage. “Oh, no sweetheart,” she taunted. “This is what happens when you try to come between a Luna and her Alpha".
She tipped the vial again and the Wolfsbane spilled onto my skin directly causing me to cry out. “Fine!” I shouted, my voice already hoarse from all the crying and shouting. “I confess! I will confess! I tried to seduce – I tried to seduce the Alpha because I wanted his attention, okay? Just… please stop!”
For a heartbeat, the crowd seemed to hold their breath. Ember blinked, taken aback by my sudden admission. But then, instead of stopping, her smile grew even wider, and her eyes glinted with a dark, twisted satisfaction.
