HAZEL
The first girl's eyes went wide. She dropped to her knees like someone had cut her strings.
"No. Never." Her words tumbled over each other. "A sentinel is currently pursuing her," she then pointed at her friend. "... And we found something he did was funny."
"The truth is, I don't believe you."
The other girl finally moved. She'd been frozen but now she knelt too. The motion looked stiff. Unwilling.
"Of course not." Her voice shook. "We would never, Ome—"
Her eyes went wide before her mouth snapped shut but the damage was done.
"We would never, Luna Hazel."
Omega.
She'd been about to call me Omega.
Something hot and vicious surged through my veins. I charged at her before rational thought could intervene. My hands found her face. I squeezed. My fingers dug into her cheeks until she made a small sound of pain.
"You will spend the night in the dungeons for that unsightly tongue."
