Chapter 812

Madeline:

“Why would you want to go back there? They’re gonna throw you in prison anyway,”

I said as I shrugged my shoulders, drumming my fingers on the table.

She noticed my hands and then looked at me.

“Well, is this any less of a prison?” she commented, grinding her teeth.

“She’s got a good point,” I said as I snapped my fingers and got up from the chair.

“You know, Kaylee, I thought about punishing you, torturing you every day.”

As I started to speak, I heard her scoff at me.

“What changed?” she commented.

I walked up to her and crouched down in front of her.

“That’s bold of you to assume I changed my mind.” I let out a little laugh, reaching toward her to move a strand of hair away from her face.

She didn’t dare slap my hand away.

“But I decided that instead of giving you physical pain, I’ll give you mental abuse,” I mumbled softly, watching her eyes start to water with anger.

Then I gave her a little slap on the cheek while she tried to pull her face away.

I got up and walked away. Livia immediately followed me.

“Give her the shot,” I said to Livia.

She stopped and turned around to walk over to her bag.

However, I noticed that when she pulled out the injection, she looked a little concerned.

“Don’t worry, she won’t attack you,” I said, trying to reassure her as I walked back toward Kaylee with Livia, just to make sure Kaylee didn’t try anything.

Even though she was in silver shackles, she could still grab Livia or try to hurt her.

As soon as Livia approached Kaylee, Kaylee started struggling.

She swung her arms around, so I quickly grabbed one of them.

I pulled her to her feet, turned her around, slammed her face against the wall, and pinned her arm behind her back where it was easy for Livia to inject the wolfsbane into her body.

Kaylee kept crying while Livia injected the wolfsbane into her.

Then Livia walked out with me. We both left the basement, letting Kaylee cry and scream alone.

Once I had locked the basement again, I started tossing the keys up and catching them with my other hand while Livia walked behind me.

“So, Livia, what made you not tell the soldiers, the police, the president, or anyone who worked for him about

the monster the first time he brought someone to the mountaintop asked casually no letting her know that the reason I had brought her here wasn’t just because I needed her to give Kaylee the wolfsbane shot, but also because I had a few questions for her.

“Um, what do you mean?” Livia asked in a very soft, almost scared voice.

“I’m just saying, it’s quite weird that you took this position, then had a monster bring werewolves in from the werewolf land, and immediately. kept that information to yourself,” I said to her, finally turning around to face her while I held my hands together behind my back

Livia immediately came to a halt, trying not to bump into me.

She looked up at me, and then I watched her gulp.

There it was. The truth.

There was something she was hiding regarding the monster.

“Um—” She scratched the back of her neck. “Because the president was in a coma, and I didn’t trust his new wife.”

It seemed like a very good lie, but also one she had come up with on the spot.

“Are you sure that’s it?” I asked t

tilting my head and giving her a smile. 4 mean, a monster appearing

in the

human world is kind of scary,

don’t you think?

I mumbled the words, making her realize that for werewolves, coming across monsters was an everyday thing.

But for humans, the whole reason they had a separate land was because they didn’t want monsters wandering among them.

“Tell me, Livia. Tell me the truth,” I insisted, taking a step toward her.

However, she immediately stepped back, making me stop.

That was when I realized she saw me as a threat.

Then my eyes narrowed on something she was wearing around her neck.

It looked vaguely familiar.

And then it struck me.

It was the same kind of pendant I had put around my children’s ankles when I was afraid of them transitioning, when I was masking their scents.

I guessed she noticed my reaction because she quickly closed her fist around the

pendant, looking at me as her breathing became erratic.

“Come on, Livia. I expect the truth from you,” I said, already very wary of her.

“Do you have a wolf?” I asked, watching her eyes widen.

She began shaking her head aggressively.

“Please step aside. I need to go home,” she requested, her jaw clenching.
