I fell on my couch exhaustedly. The maids were trembling in a corner. They were staring at me as if I was a monster. I was so annoyed that I might actually hurt them if they stayed longer. I ordered them to leave.
I was surprised how everyone believed Claire's words without using their brains. Did they think I would try to turn Claire into a vampire by giving her a bowl of blood? How ridiculous!
I did not care about what others were thinking. But I saw doubt in Xavier's eyes.
Though Xavier denied Claire's claim right away and ordered the maids not to speak about it further, I could see he was in a dilemma. He did not say a thing to me as we came out of Claire's room.
I rubbed my temples. I was aware that it would put a scar on Xavier's reputation if the maids would spread the incident outside the palace. The elders would also attend the ceremony. All the pack leaders would be there. I was getting a headache just by thinking about it.
