The woman blinked at me with wide eyes, her lips parting just slightly like she didn't expect me to confront her directly. "I have no idea what you're talking about," she said, her voice level but strained. "I respect you… a lot… as the Alpha's future Luna. But I can't answer questions I don't know anything about."
I exhaled slowly, pressing my tongue against the inside of my cheek. I hated feeling powerless, hated that I was the omega and she was the one with authority. But I wouldn't let that show. Not now.
"You're the easiest person to talk to," I said carefully, slowly, keeping my tone even as I stared her down. "Especially after what happened at the party. But if you decide to get on our nerves…" I let the pause settle, like poison in the air. "It wouldn't be so good for you."
That landed.
Her back straightened, and I could see the panic flood into her expression.
