"You wretched human-born. You knew the Supreme Alpha was hopelessly in love with me, so you thought you could use that face of yours to lure him in? A face that only barely resembles mine?"
Her arrogance was suffocating, but since she clearly had no idea who I was, I chose not to hold the slap against her.
Instead, I offered a warning out of kindness.
"The Abyssal Den is not a place any of you should be. The Supreme Alpha is away. Leave now, while you still can. If you stay, no one will be able to help you."
But Seraphina showed no gratitude. She seized my throat and snarled through clenched teeth, her canines just slightly too long, her grip carrying a pureblood's crushing strength:
"The Supreme Alpha adores me beyond measure. There is nowhere in the entire Shadowfang territory I cannot set foot. You, on the other hand, you wretched human-born, putting on airs and trying to shoo me away. You're just afraid I'll expose your little scheme and ruin your chances of seducing him, aren't you?"
"Today I'll show you exactly what happens to vermin who try to steal the Supreme Alpha's affections."
With a flick of her pale wrist, a blast of Silvercrest bloodline power swept toward me like a gale.
