“It doesn’t matter,” Tabitha said out loud. “Stay focused.”
Suddenly, she heard a huge thump from behind her, and she spun around to see a large lion with bright green eyes staring at her.
“Another fucking shifter,” she growled, pissed.
She didn’t have to wait very long to decide whether to fight or run because the lion immediately charged at her. It didn’t even hold back or wait.
Tabitha cast an
energy ball and the lion jumped right into it. Instantly, the creature was trapped, and she held it there. The lion seemed both confused and irritated by this turn of events.
“Oh, I’m sorry, did I forget to mention that I’m a super powerful mage?”
Luckily, she really had been recharged by that sex.
The lion pawed at the energy ball.
“It doesn’t matter,” she told it. “No matter how much you meow in there, you won’t be able to escape until I let you. Are you a shifter? Change back. Let me see you.”
The lion stared at her.
“That’s fine,” Tabitha shrugged. “I’ve got all day.”
She sat down and crossed her legs, careful to hold one hand out. That hand kept the energy ball working perfectly well. The lion was hanging in the air and trying to paw at the sides of the ball, but nothing happened.
And nothing would happen.
Not until she wanted it to.
“Who the fuck are you?” Tabitha asked the lion.
It opened its mouth and roared as loud as it could, but Tabitha was unfazed.
“My trainers at the Mages Guild yelled louder than that,” she told the lion. “You’re going to have to do better than that if you want to scare me.”
Another roar.
Tabitha yawned.
She was bored of this. She wanted to hurry up and get to the castle, but this lion had distracted her. Well, the lion and the dragon.
Why hadn’t she known?
She’d suspected, sure. She’d had a feeling that there was something more to Felix than he was letting on. He was powerful. He was strong. He exuded energy like nothing she’d ever seen before.
He’d tricked her.
He’d tricked her, and he’d fucked her, and he’d left.
And that hurt.
A tear slid down Tabitha’s cheek, and the energy ball flickered. The lion wasn’t having some sort of personal crisis, and it used that moment of weakness to leap through the flickering energy wall that surrounded it. The lion leapt over to her, stopping just in front of her, and it roared again.
“Fuck off, lion,” she said. “I’m no good to you.”
She looked up at it sadly. Another tear slid. Fuck. She so hadn’t expected this. She hadn’t expected to cry. Not like this.
Once more, the lion growled in her face, but it didn’t try to attack her.
