My brows furrowed, my mind racing to process this new information. Werewolf heat was indeed a powerful and often disorienting experience, especially for younger wolves. But there was something about Nadia’s explanation that sounded fishy.
She continued, her words tumbling out in a rush. “You have to believe me, Luna. Alpha Cyrus wasn’t in his room. I… I took a shower to try and sober up. I feel so embarrassed".
As Nadia spoke, Nyx roared within me. “She’s lying! This bitch is trying to seduce Alpha Cyrus and steal your position as Luna. Don’t fall for her act! Remember the little stunt she pulled earlier today at your arrival… that’s also one of her tricks. She’s faking everything!”
The combination of Nyx’s fury and my suspicions caused something to snap within me. Before I could fully process my actions, I lunged forward, my hand closing around Nadia’s throat. I could feel angry tremors coursing through my body, as my eyes blazed with the evidence of the rage, I was feeling within. Unable to stop myself, I pinned Nadia against the doorframe.
