ever play truth or dare?

~ODETTE'S POV~

I couldn't believe the ruthless bastard of an alpha gave me a personal maid, and one that was my friend.

I sat next to Emalea and across from Ariel. We were riding in a second limo to the airport.

Ariel was still glaring at me, unsure if she liked me or if I was just a manipulative vampire, like all the rest.

And she wasn't wrong, vampires are manipulative, they're master's at spinning lies.

My mother could literally compel people to think a certain way. If that's not proof of our manipulative tactics nothing would be.

I decided to keep quiet in front of Ariel about what's happened between the King and I (***Any musical theater fans that read this, yes this was intentional***) I wasn't sure if she is trustworthy, so it's better safe than sorry. Silence can keep a person safe. That's something I learned growing up.
