Chapter 14

In all my dreams of being surrounded by wolves, which had haunted me since the murder of my parents, never once had those wolves been mechanical monsters.

It turned out that reality was more terrifying than nightmares, who knew?

Except perhaps the shifters had known all along that single skins had beasts hidden within them as well, even if they only ever showed one face.

The back of my neck was sticky with sweat in the sweltering heat of the Justice Chamber, and my heart thundered. My Charms and Ramiel formed a defensive circle around me, whilst Moon pushed his brother behind him. The wind from Mischief’s violently beating wings gusted across my cheeks like breath.

The mechanical wolves growled.

I shook, as they prowled closer. Their eyes glowed, just like Moon’s, yet freakishly wrong. They wore loosely over their bronze backs the white pelts of the real murdered Omegas, as if they were wolves trying to pass as sheep, and boy was that sickening on so many levels. I forced myself not to recoil.

They’re not real…just bigass toys with lots and lots of fangs…

I glared at Stella, who lazily stared back from her throne.

Okay, in this circus, my aunt was the ringmaster, and the covens were the audience.

I refused to look out at the witches’ excited faces. Stella had been so chilled, even strung up in her own House, because she’d been building to this grand finale, where I was the star. But hey, if the assholes wanted a show, then I’d give them one.

Let the dicks watch.

The Oxford covens would have ringside seats on a Wolf Charmer like they’d never seen before. I’d fight wolves with wolves. Honestly, I should send Stella a muffin basket for handing me the perfect opportunity to showcase my rebellion and the new world that I was forging.

When I grinned, Stella’s smile faded. It looked like she’d figured out that she wasn’t the one in charge of the show anymore.

My shadows built, before blasting out in a tidal wave at the mechanicals.

Nothing.

I blinked, biting my lip.

Huh, that was seriously not good.

I dragged my red back again, before once more washing it over the mechanicals to paralyze them.

Nothing, apart from the stinging bite of dark magic.

I swayed, and Emperor slipped his arm around my shoulders. His claws dug into my skin. When I glanced around at my Charms, their fangs were as long as the false wolves’ teeth who were stalking us. Even in the midst of this horror, it made my skin tingle at their wicked beauty.

“Problem?” Emperor asked.

“Besides the killer toys?” My gaze darted to Emperor’s. “I can’t control them.”

“Aye, because they’re not wolves.” Moon raised his eyebrow. “Do you still judge everything on how it looks? These are a witch invention, playing at wolf. Why would you have control over them?”

I flushed. Wow, I’d deserved that, but the snickers from our audience were a kick in my witchy ass.

Stella trailed her hand down the Ambassador’s neck. He froze, allowing the caress. I didn’t understand, however, the way that his gaze flicked with urgent pleading to Amadeus and then back to me.
