He could see the moment that Venetia’s claws started to press inward.
Myele’s eyes got huge, and she started to back toward the door with Venetia guiding her, crooning, “Come on, little chicken. You don’t need to be here right now.”
Syar covered his mouth as he realized Myele had watched her rip through the fowl with her claws.
Reynaldo came in looking slightly ruffled and dazed. “She just got her second wind, but she smells like her again.”
“She just took Myele out with claws to her neck.”
“Shit. She’s fun.” Reynaldo smiled.
“How was the shower?”
“She has a lot of scars. She’s also furious. The fury is battling with her, upset about the damage she sat for, but having seen the scars, she has endured a lot. The fury is going to manifest from time to time.”
Syar smiled. “I am hoping to channel that.”
Reynaldo blinked and stared. “You knew?”
“Ford and I had an in-depth conversation. It was illuminating.” Syar smiled brightly. The kitten’s claws were out. Now, the woman had to rise up. One thing at a time.
Chapter Five
Ven followed Myele to her quarters and waited while she packed. “So, why did you do it? Just curious.”
“My niece would make an excellent breeder for Reynaldo, but he doesn’t even look at her.”
“Wait? You are trying to entice an alpha with a beta? Seriously? What did you think would happen? He’s already linked to Syar. He doesn’t need a beta.”
“He needs a breeder. The king needs an heir, and he is infertile.”
Ven laughed. “Well, that is hilarious. First off, I am here for a year. Second, I am also infertile. Don’t worry about me.”
Myele stared at her. “You are... you can’t?”
“Nope. Not unless something drastic changes.”
“I want the best for my niece.”
“Sure. We want the best for those around us. It doesn’t give us the right to hurt others. How can joy be built on pain?”
Myele started hanging her head. “I am sorry.”
“I might forgive you when my hair and nails grow back.” She shrugged. “I might. I believe you can find your way out.”
Myele nodded, her eyes full of regret.
“I am sure I will see you around.”
Myele nodded.
Ven left her and just wanted to curl up in a corner. Instead of hiding in her room, she returned to Syar’s office and asked, “Your Majesty, can I go rest now? I haven’t been this mad for this long for a while.”
“No. Solai is coming, and she is going to fix your nails.”
She nodded. “Of course. Where should I be?”
Reynaldo got up from his desk and said, “Come with me to the morning room.”
