Enchanting deception

Palace snake

" - He will never be yours. - Adalinda smiled.

- Why do you think so?!

- You stench and he has a sensitive nose. On the other hand. You are not worthy to be his mate."

Adalinda's words haunted Sabrina on her way back home. Who does she think she is? A nobody! A homeless brat! - Sabrina murmured angrily while her wolf just rolled her eyes on her human counterpart's reactions.

@- Why don't you just let this go? Tase is not even our mate.

-@ This is not about Tase anymore! She tarnished my honor! She humiliated me!

@- From where I saw the events, you did that to yourself when you didn't recognize that your opponent is clearly superior.

-@ Because you are such a smartass Pixie!- Pixie licked her front leg and scratched behind her ear.

@- I'm just using my senses. You know, hearing, seeing, smelling and one that you forgot about a lot... My commonsense.

-@ I'm done talking with you!

@- Oh no! What will I do now? - Pixie asked in a sarcastic tone and she went to sleep in the back of Sabrina's mind. She growled angrily and wished she could separate from her wolf to teach her a lesson. She rushed to her wing when bumped into her cousin.

- Watch where you are going! - Sabrina shouted and Eirik laughed. She was so petite compared to him that her anger always made her cousin laugh.

- Hold your horses! You were the one who ran into me! What's bothering my beautiful cousin? - he asked. Sabrina looked into Eirik's blue eyes. He had the same blonde hair as her, but his features were rather beautiful than handsome. Eirik looked like the blonde prince from children's books. Tall, beautiful, refined, elegant in manners and actions... Only Sabrina and a few closer family members knew, that Eirik was a manipulative snake. With his flawless manners and calculated actions, everyone fall quickly for his charms and believed every word of his.

- Fine! Sorry! - he leaned against the corridor wall and raised an eyebrow at Sabrina as if he was asking again his previous question.

- I've met Tase's new toy and she got on my nerves! - Eirik looked pensive.

- I was wondering why your smell was different, I guess it is because of that new toy. - Sabrina's eyes opened wide. She smelled her hair and clothes and growled in frustration. She was too angry and humiliated to notice that Adalinda left her scent around her. As if she wanted to warn Sabrina that she can surpass her in everything.

- That b***h! - Sabrina shouted and hit the wall with her small fists. Eirik chuckled and caressed her head.

- Calm down! There is no use to hurt yourself over some power struggle! By the way, father did what you asked for.- Sabrina's eyes sparkled at Eirik.

- Really!? - he nodded grinning.

- Everything for his favorite niece! - Sabrina put her hands on her small waist.

- I'm his only niece! - Eirik shrugged.

- At least there is no competition! But that doesn't change the fact that you are going to the Alpha balm with that Tase you are always whining about. Although, I hope he will bring his toy too.

- Why?! - Eirik smiled and his sky blue eyes got darker. His genuine smile twisted a bit and Sabrina immediately recognized his maniac grin behind the carefully built facade.

- Well, the scent she left on you is quiet impressive. I'd like to meet the owner of this sweet flower scent and take a good look of her for myself. Who knows? Maybe she'd be willing to play with me as well! - Sabrina's stomach crunched and she felt how Pixie's fur stood up on her back.

- Take her! As long as there is nothing in my way, I don't care about it. - Eirik grabbed Sabrina's hand and placed a kiss on the back of it.

- That's the spirit my dear! Hold up your chin, because you'll be the star of that ball.

- Thanks! Love you!

- I love you too Sabri! - Eirik watched Sabrina skip to her room in a better mood than what he found her. He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair.

$- That scent is incredibly alluring. - his wolf Steel said and Eirik grinned.

-$ I can't wait for that ball.

$- What are you planning to do? - Steel asked.

-$ Oh, nothing too serious. I'm just helping my dear cousin to get the obstacles out of her way. Also, if I have some fun in the meantime that's just a win for all of us. Don't you think?
