Alcina and Bela kicked our asse's in Monopoly.

Cassandra tried to warn me before we even got started, but I didn't listen to her words of wisdom.

And so...

I paid the consequence.

I ended up bankrupt by the time we were done playing. Bela and Alcina were being smug while the other two who were supposed to be on my side were laughing loudly at my poor attempt at playing the board game. I had said I would personally get some more Sanguis Virginis for the winning ladies to which Alcina wore a wide grin.

"Away with you then, butler." Alcina said while she waved her hand dismissively.

I rolled my eyes at my mate who was apparently reminiscing.

I went to leave, but just before I got to the door, I craned my head so they could see me.

"Butler huh? Does a regular old butler usually fuck their Mistresss into a sobbing mess while they are crying out there name in pleasure?" I asked.

Everyone went completely silent and Alcina's cheeks were bright red.

The girls looked mortified, but after a second there laughter echoed loudly through the library.

I didn't give Alcina a chance to respond to that question and made my escape while she was still stunned.

Now in the halls of the castle, I still felt warm even though I wasn't near a fire, but I knew that was because the girls were susceptible to the cold. Alcina had a sole woodcutter just for the purpose of making sure the fire's in all the fireplaces never died out.

Looking around I noticed that the halls weren't bustling with people like they usually were, but that was normal because it was after 8 PM. Alcina usually had the staff in their rooms so none of the humans got hurt. The girls could go a little wild at night sometimes and I heard from her that some maidens have had serious injuries. She compensated them for their troubles, but she didn't want that to be a common occurrence so the curfew was set in place.

I was walking now, but I saw a shadow flit behind quickly behind a wall and my eyes narrowed where it had gone.

Hmmm....

Maybe I'm crazy, but...

I wanted to be sure that there was no one there. Hunters wanted to hurt my family and double checking this wouldn't hurt. I already had a suspicion that there was a mole in the castle and with the two attacks...

Maybe this is them...

Putting my nose to the air, I tried to scent whoever it might've been, but all I got was a heavy perfume that I didn't recognize. I might've not been able to tell who it was, but this raised my hackles and my instincts flared. Someone was purposely trying to mask their scent because they didn't want to be found.

Fucking...

My jaw clenched, hard, and I want to snarl out in outrage.

I held myself back though and slowly crept to where the shadow had been.

Slowly.

Slowly...

Slowly.....

I crept until I felt a gust of wind next to me and noticed that the windows had been opened by whoever this was. It just made me more fucking angry because this showed that they wanted to harm my girls.
