Chapter 78

~Mael~

"Rat? Sad you couldn't come up with a better insult." Mael gets up and dusts himself off. He leers at his new Pride leader, "You could be nicer to me because without me, this could never happen, and you would be at your wit's end." Nye leaned into him, but Mael stood his ground. He couldn't deny that Nye had a fierceness that could bust if poked, and Mael Was quite tempted to poke it.

He clears his throat. "My apologies, Master. I should know where I stand." Mael says with a lot of sass, then turns to Kamari and Calea. Kamari tries not to show her amusement, but Mael sees right through it. Those shimmering purple eyes were laced with Mischief, the type Mael reveled in. Calea clears her throat, drawing Mael's attention. He had seen the witch multiple times around the Kingdom, and Calea bought fruit from him often.
