Novel1Chapter 356 +25 BONUS Alexander masked his irritation well, but I could tell he was growing weary of the King's manic energy. Still, he didn't protest. Instead, he placed a steadying hand on my lower back as we followed the King to the door.
The King poked his head out, calling to the guards. "Escort Luna Black to the prisoner's cell and give them privacy." Alexander leaned close to my ear. "Are you sure about this? "Yes," I whispered. “I have a plan." A ghost of a smirk crossed his lips. "Of course you do." He kissed my cheek. "Don't let her get under your skin." "She won't," I assured him.
One of the guards stepped forward, hesitation flickering across his face. "Follow me, "Luna," Alexander corrected, his voice sharp.
The guard flushed, nodding quickly. "Apologies. Luna, I'll take you down." ") The staircase leading to the basement was carpeted, muffling my footsteps. Though the air grew colder, there were no eerie creaks or ominous sounds-just sterile silence. The guard in front ofremained quiet until we reached the door.
Amanda's screams were muffled but unmistakable, laced with fury and desperation. The moment the door swung open, a flustered young guard nearly ran out.

"Stay by the door," the senior guard instructed. "The Luna will speak with the prisoner alone." The younger guard hesitated, then gavea small, respectful bow. "Please don't hesitate to call if you need us." "I appreciate that," I said smoothly. "But I won't need help" The door clicked shut behind me.
Amanda sat on a narrow bed, one wrist shackled to the wall behind her. Her once-polished appearance had crumbled-her hair was a mess, her eyes wild, and her expression a mixture of rage and disbelief. The moment she saw me, she bared her teeth in a furious snarl.
"What the hell are you doing here?" she spat.
I stepped closer but stayed just out of reach, pulling a chair away from the desk before sitting down. I studied her, taking in what she had become.
At one time, Amanda had been my best friend. I had imagined we'd be inseparable for life. But now, she was caged, frantic, half-crazed-all because she had tried to killto steal my mate.
It was absurd. And to my surprise, I felt something unexpected.
Sadness.
"I'm here to talk," I said softly. "I wish it hadn't cto this, Amanda. I really do." "And I wish you were dead!" she snapped. "But apparently every assassin in the Roguelands is an incompetent fool."

You ruined things between David andbecause you were jealous, You couldn't handle that we were in love." I smiled despite myself and shook my head. "You know what? In honor of our friendship, I'm going to be completely honest with you." Amanda narrowed her eyes. “Honest about what?" "How I knew the truth about you." I tilted my head, watching her closely. "And everything I did to make sure you and David ended up exactly where you are now." Her pupils dilated, her breath hitching. The crazed look in her eyes sharpened into something more dangerous.
"I knew it." She bared her teeth. "I knew you did this to me."" I leaned forward, my voice turning ice-cold. "I did." Amanda let out a wordless scream, a guttural, feral sound of rage.
But I wasn't finished.
"And do you want to know why?" She snarled, her chest rising and falling rapidly.
