Unfazed and unaffected, she moved through the turmoil with composure. Her red eyes met mine, and a grin twisted her lips.

"The Blood Bane will tear you apart if they find you here." Dahlia laughed, a sharp, melodic sound that chilled the blood in my veins. She reached out, her long, claw-like nail tracing the line of my jaw. I flinched, but I couldn't move; it was as if the air around me had turned to lead. "Let them try," she whispered. "But they’ll be too busy bleeding for a throne that won't exist in a week. I came to give you a final reminder, little healer." She leaned in closer, her voice dropping to a terrifying hiss.

Hill took that as a challenge. "Our ancestors have dealt with your kind for centuries. So, even if you can somehow have immunity to wolfsbane, the herbs I added to your welcoming tea will make sure you can't let your beast out." 'She has no idea what kind of beast I am!' Dahlia growled in my head. I doubted that the herbs she used for hybrids but it didn't matter. Unless I could learn to hand over control to Dahlia, I wouldn't be able to get out or save Xavier anyway.

Dahlia's expression was still normal despite being anxious deep down due to her incident being exposed. But, her face did not show anything. "You say that I drugged you and caused you to be infertile. But, what evidence do you have? Just based on this bottle of drugs?" Dahlia snorted lightly, "You were originally barren. What's wrong with me seeking an alternative medicine to help nurse your body?

It brought my mind back to that night. That night when I had seen the corpse of a little girl in a nylon bag.

It is all so hazy and muffled. Feeling the wet cloth on my head as I lie on the bed, my body is now spasming uncontrollably. I cannot open my eyes but I know they are all here. Feeling soft kisses on my face and hands before the darkness takes me. Soon a white dahlia blooms into place, and colors begin raining down on the pedals. It is beautifully hypnotic and calming.

You must promise not to breathe a word of it to anyone—especially the alpha. "If you wish to keep this secret from him," I countered, "then you must reveal your true nature to me.
