"Hello," she said, her tone dripping with mock sweetness. "Care to join us?"
Maxi was utterly dumbfounded. At first, she had thought this was a prank, Islinda must be pulling her legs or something. However, she pinched her thighs and it was reality.
"What the fucking hell?!" Maxi yelled at them.
Other times, that offer might have been tempting, but Maxi was unable to believe that while she and Issac had been fighting off the enemies, Aldric and his mate had been here fucking and having a good time. It pissed her off as hell. In just two nights, she had come close to dying and to think it was for the two selfish bastards.
Aldric, flushed with embarrassment, hastily began dressing. In contrast, Azula casually walked to the counter, leaning against it, her eyes brazenly raking over Maxi.
"Not bad," Azula smirked, her gaze unabashedly appreciative.
Maxi shuddered, feeling an instinctive urge to cover herself under Azula’s intense scrutiny. It was as if Azula was undressing her with her eyes.
Azula then shifted her attention to Issac, who felt her gaze on him. He started to look back but quickly averted his eyes, his face heating up. Why was she still naked? She was making him uncomfortable, something Islinda had never done.
Azula licked her lower lip, her eyes locked on Issac. "You’d make a cute snack in my harem," she chuckled.
Maxi’s face suddenly hardened, her blue eyes dangerous as she bared her teeth at Islinda. "Back off. He’s mine." Then she faced Aldric asking, "What the fuck is wrong is wrong with her? She’s almost acting like she’s possessed or something...." Maxi trailed off as something clicked in her head.
Maxi’s face was drawn into a frown as she began to scrutinize Islinda who was not even one bit concerned, still giving off that flirtatious smile. It was that moment that Maxi studied every gesture, her body language and pieced everything together.
"You’re not Islinda," she stated coldly.
"Wait, she’s not?" Issac looked at Azula, confused. Her behavior was odd, but she looked like Islinda, except for the strange white hair. He squinted, trying to discern what Maxi was seeing.
Maxi ignored Issac, focusing on the woman before her. "Who the hell are you, and what have you done with Islinda?"
Azula’s smile widened. "Finally," she said, almost in relief. "We get to formally meet. Hi, I’m Azula, and you must be Maxi and Issac. I’ve heard so much about you two."
Azula moved to go introduce herself only for Aldric to notice that she was still naked and he cursed under his breath. While she had no problem with nudity, this was still his mate’s body and she would not let the damn demon flaunt it all for all the males to see.
