I looked at the door. Then back at Bo.
The distance between us was maybe ten feet. She was small. Slight. I had trained with warriors. I had sparred with guards who outweighed me by a hundred pounds. I could take her.
But what did I really know about this Omega?
She had lied to my face for days. She had smiled while she poisoned. She had held my hand while she plotted murder. Everything I thought I knew about her was a story she had written for me to read.
"Why would you ally with anyone but your Alpha?" I asked. My voice came out steadier than I felt. "You swore oaths. You made vows."
Bo's smile twisted. "I do not owe you anything."
"But I know what I know now." I kept my eyes on her hands. On the blue staining her fingertips. "So what happens? What are you going to do?"
Something shifted in her face. The playfulness drained away. What remained was something harder. Colder.
