"Serena…" Ashen called, surprised by what he saw. She turned sharply toward him, eyes blazing, and immediately released Rhynera from her invisible grip.
"Then next time anybody dares to threaten my life or even touch a single hair of the heir I am carrying," Serena spat, her voice trembling with fury, "I won't hesitate to kill that person!"
The silence that followed burned through the room. Everyone could feel the tense air mixed with her rage.
She brushed past Ashen and Lumina, her hand pressed against her stomach as she stormed out, slamming the door so hard that it echoed through the corridor.
Ashen turned to Adam, a dark smirk tugging at his lips. "You have lost control of your women," he said, voice mocking.
"That's a new low, even for you… I think it's time I celebrate how I am winning even without moving an inch."
