Her palm struck the stone wall beside me with a force that echoed through the chamber like a clap of thunder, causing me to flinch involuntarily. +25 Points "Yes!" she screamed, her voice sharp and filled with venom. "The moon goddess thought she was so powerful, so untouchable. She thought she could imprison me, silence me, erase me from existence." Her eyes burned with a fierce hatred that sent chills down my spine.

"But guess what?" she hissed, a wicked smile spreading across her face. "Guess who's in control of all her precious creations now?" Her lips twisted into a triumphant smirk. "Me." I struggled against the ropes binding my wrists, twisting and pulling until the skin burned with raw pain, but they were tied far too tightly. Panic surged within me, clawing its way up my throat like a wild animal desperate to escape. I reached out for my wolf, yearning for any semblance of strength, any flicker of power I could harness, but there was nothing. And then- A faint hum.

Weak and distant, like a voice calling to me from the other side of a thick wall. Something was blocking her. Shit. I cursed silently, fighting harder to break through the fog enveloping my mind, but the hum faded away just as quickly. The woman continued to speak, her tone dripping with delight as if she could sense my struggle-and was reveling in it. "I derived such pleasure watching Maximus kill those women," she said, her voice light and airy, as if she were discussing the weather rather than the horrific scene she had orchestrated. "He thought one of them could cure him?

Oh, it was just... delightful." She stepped closer, her hand shooting out to grasp my jaw, her fingers digging into my skin with a painful grip. My head jerked back, the pressure causing my neck to ache. "Until you came along," she spat, venom lacing her words. Then, with a sudden, brutal force, she released me. My head snapped back, colliding with the stone wall, a sharp crack ringing out in the air. Stars exploded in my vision. +25 Points "I wanted him to kill you," she said, her voice dripping with icy disdain. "That's why I told him Milandra's spirit was inside you.

I wanted to shatter him. Completely." I tasted blood in my mouth, the metallic tang mingling with the fear coursing through my veins. "But he didn't kill you," she continued, her expression twisting into one of annoyance. "I tried everything. I even pressured that stubborn bastard. Told him the kingdom was at risk, that you were a danger. But he refused. He wouldn't give you up for anything." A warmth spread through my chest despite the pain. Maximus. Even then. Even before everything had unraveled into chaos. He chose me. He protected me. He loved me-without fully understanding why.

"If he had killed you," the woman said with a casual shrug, "that would have been his doom." She rolled her eyes dramatically, as if the very thought disgusted her. "But no. Instead, he became obsessed with you. Obsessed. It was repulsive to watch." My heart ached-not from her cruel words, but from the realization of just how deep Maximus's love had always run... even when neither of us could comprehend it. "So," she continued cheerfully, "I had to stir the pot." My stomach twisted uneasily. Stir the pot. "I manipulated your lives," she said with a malevolent grin.

"Gave Damien a false mate bond-made him feel it in his very soul that you belonged to him. I compelled him to believe you were his mate." My heart plummeted. "That's why..." I whispered, the realization dawning on me. "That's why he-" +25 Points "Yes!" she exclaimed eagerly, her eyes sparkling with delight. "Everything was going perfectly. Damien believed you were his. Maximus felt a strange connection to you, but had Raina as his mate. Damien and Maximus fighting over one woman. Such delicious drama." A shiver of revulsion crawled up my spine.

"But Milandra," she snapped, her tone suddenly sharp. "She always ruins everything. She gave you your wolf, and that's when everything spiraled out of control." My jaw clenched tightly. Anger, hot and piercing, surged through my chest. I forced myself to meet her gaze, unwavering. "You're mad at the moon goddess," I said slowly, my voice steady despite the turmoil. "Why not take your anger out on her? Why destroy us?" The woman threw her head back and laughed-a loud, deranged cackle that echoed ominously. "Oh, sweet Emilia," she said, wiping away imaginary tears of mirth.

"What's more satisfying than hurting a goddess directly? Hitting her where it truly hurts." Her voice dropped to a conspiratorial whisper, laced with poison. "Watching her own creations tear each other apart while I pull the strings." She smirked, the expression twisted and cruel. "Especially her direct descendants. The royal family. Her precious bloodline." A wave of nausea washed over me. She leaned in closer until our eyes locked, the intensity of her gaze sending a shiver down my spine. "I'm not just winning, Emilia.

I'm making her watch." "So you've been behind everything," I whispered, my voice barely audible. "Playing savior while you poisoned us all." "Exactly!" she chirped, twirling in delight like a child showcasing a new dress. "I was their trusted witch. Their guiding light. Their hero." Her smile turned sharp, predatory. "And I fooled them all." She stepped even closer, her face hovering mere inches from mine, the malice radiating off her like heat from a fire. +25 Points "But I'm not finished, Emilia." A cold shiver coursed through me, the dread pooling in my stomach like a heavy stone.

Her eyes darkened, filled with a ravenous hunger that chilled the air around us. "There's one more thing I must do before I'm satisfied." Dread flooded my senses, thick and suffocating, drowning out every other emotion. "What?" I forced out, my throat feeling dry and scratchy as if lined with sand. "What more could you possibly want?" She straightened slowly, a predatory smile creeping back onto her lips. Silence stretched between us, heavy and oppressive. Her smile returned, slow and terrible, revealing teeth that seemed far too sharp.

"You'll see," she whispered, the promise of darkness hanging in the air like a storm cloud ready to burst. Conclusion In the depths of despair, Emilia found herself facing the embodiment of her worst fears, a puppet master reveling in the chaos she had orchestrated. The woman's twisted delight in revealing her manipulations shattered Emilia's sense of safety, yet within that darkness, a flicker of resilience ignited.
