ELIZABETH MILKHARTMy hands were shaking as I zipped my small backpack shut, ignoring the brown-haired handmaiden who was stressing out beside me.“M’lady, this is a terrible idea, the dark woods, it's where those Dove pack monsters stay Miss, you mustn't,” Theresa choked out, gripping my bag before dropping it quickly when I narrowed my eyes at her.There was no doubt in my mind that she could stop me if it came down to it. I had only been in one fight in my entire life and got beat up so bad my eyes were swollen shut for days.With a wolf like Theresa, hell, I could tell from her tight arms under the soft black and white uniform she wore that she was more than just a maid.“I can’t stay here after what you told me about Cassandra fucking Blackwood, Theresa, I’ll take my chances with any beast over that witch!” I hissed, the Queen’s cold blonde face flashed in my mind’s eye before I shook my head.I knew now that I never should have trusted her with the King and my secret.
