Midnight Queen's POV
I watched the vampire prince flee while chaos exploded in my temple. How predictable. Royals always choose their crowns over their hearts.
His blood donation to the Ruby Wolf girl was surprising, though. A smart move that might complicate things.
No matter. I had waited ages for this moment.
The temple floor cracked wider beneath my feet as I drew more power. Puppet wolves fought the Alpha, the Phantom Wolf, and my grandson around me. Isolde and Elena worked their spell in the corner, thinking I didn't notice their treachery.
Fools. I saw everything.
My attention fixed on Siennamy blood, my keyas she wiped vampire blood from her lips. Power radiated from her skin like heat from fire. So much like me, once.
"Enough!" I shouted, clapping my hands together.
A shockwave rippled through the building, knocking everyone to the ground. Only Sienna stayed standing, protected by her new vampire-blood shield.
Silence fell. The puppet dogs froze in place.
