Between explaining what happened and talking Abby through her denial, Mirella couldn't pay attention to the changes in their surroundings. Abby was clearly in a bad place right now that it hurt to even look at her holding back herself from falling apart.

However, if this continued, Abby would also get hurt and that wasn't an outcome she could afford with Calpin running amok out there.

But when she steeled herself and decided to make Abby see the reality, she was completely caught off guard seeing the queen stiffen before her. "Abby, what..." "Grrrhhhh!"

Twin growls filled the air before she could ask Abby what happened until she couldn't breathe, and seeking the source of the sound left her face to face with two huge beasts.

The witch was stunned for a moment, suddenly hyper aware of the animosity emanating from the creatures. Their auras radiated killing intent and it left her heart skittering. "Abby!" The witch lunged to her feet, placing herself in between the threat before her and the pregnant woman behind, just as the queen's personal maids huddled behind their master. "My Queen!"

The three of them stood frozen around Abby, who was still shocked to her core.

"What is happening?" The question left Abby's lips unconsciously as the wolves prowled in place, with their gazes locked on her, as if they were seeking an opportunity to finish her off. Their murderous intention and their behavior provided the witch with enough details to amp up her magic to defend Abby, who was clearly having a hard time navigating her own thoughts.

Abby, being heavily pregnant at six months, instinctively covered her stomach to protect the baby in her womb. It would be hard for her to tap into her power in time if the two beasts attacked them at once. "Who are you?" Mirella snapped her fingers and immediately, flames wreathed her forearms, from elbows to fingertips, as she took a fighting stance.

There was no response from the beasts apart from this vicious snarling that made Abby's blood curdle at the realization as Alyssa and Reyna breathed out in mortification.
