Claire glanced over her shoulder with a grin. “I’m going to make an entrance and throw them off balance. Just go with the flow and keep your trap shut.
mmkay?”
It was obvious Bea had a retort ready to go but instead of saying it she kept her mouth shut. Not a normal response irut she was able to keep herself under control in certain situations; luckily, this just happened to be one such situation. Maybe. Who knew how long that’d last.
Taking a deep breath, Claire let it out before squaring her shoulders. “Dan’gny, Ptyrese, you both ready?”
“Yes,” they answered as one, sounding excited.
Here goes nothing.
They’d approached from the back of the stands and were almost halfway down the aisle before the people on the stage noticed their presence. Unsurprising, as they’d been busy fighting. Three huge wolves were keeping a handful of smaller ones from reaching the Elders, one person was a bloody mess with a man kneeling over them, and Alpha Donovan and his Gamma were standing two rows from the front, as if they’d retreated to avoid being dragged into the fight.
Smart move on their part.
“Who do you think you are?,” an Elder demanded upon noticing their presence. The old woman’s haughty tone made Claire want nothing to do with the
bitch.
“Who are you to demand anything from me?,” the blond retorted, raising her chin in defiance as she continued on her way towards the stage.
-greeted Claire when she reached the front row, fangs barred as it growled One of the gigantic wolves – it was at least twice the size of a normal one menacingly in her face. Great control, as it hadn’t attacked her outright, but she wasn’t worried. With the twins acting as a battery, she could snap a ward into place faster than most pureblood fae.
What did worry her was how the beast had fought and killed three wolves in the time it’d taken her group to reach the stage.
“Riaghaire?,” she asked in a loud, clear voice that didn’t betray her true feelings.
The wolf might have been larger than normal but the vampire was known as the wolf executioner for a reason. Riaghaire moved faster than Claire could track, snapping the wolf in two without a sweat. The sound of bones breaking made her want to vomit but she managed to hold it together. Surely
“Did she say The Riaghaire?,” an old man with a beard gasped.
“Don’t believe that bitch,” spat a different man, this one with a stupid moustache “She’s with the human and trying to paints at oneNIECE
to frighten us”
“No, that’s the real Raghaire,” Alpha Donovan called ou, sounding exasperated Claire couldn’t blame hum she risked a game box was hadn’t escaped without injury. As she watched, the cut that ran down the side of his face and neck continued to heal His stud is were still alive and kicking.
“Didn’t you hear?” Claire did her best to project her voice as the rest of these in wolf form were still locked in a not so quied batste during her first stay at the Bluemoon pack house It’s how she escaped and carned the vampires unwavering healty and potesto

The logic was sound, if they didn’t take into account the chans that Bea fought everywhere she weak

withou wen trying. It was infuriating and entertaining, depending which side you stood
