Emira cursed herself with every step she took toward Prince Kael. Why had she come down at this time? Why now, of all moments? If she had only stayed in her room, none of this would be happening. She could have thanked him later in the day, right? But no! She had to be a fool!
And when she had first heard their voices, why hadn't she turned around and run? Why had she frozen instead? Had she lost all sense of self-protection after escaping the Moonville Pack? She used to remain 'invisible' there to escape punishment but somehow, she was continuously coming into the limelight, despite not wanting to.
She clenched her jaw at the thought. She was supposed to know caution. She was supposed to be adept at avoiding traps. And yet here she was...walked right into one like a fool.
And now, the trap was closing around her.
The future Luna's anger burned against her like heat from a fire, even though the woman was smiling still, her eyes were already promising her retribution.
