For a moment, Miranda's gaze was so intense that even Alistair felt a chill down his spine. Then she smirked callously, "Consider yourselves lucky I don't have the time to give you a piece of my mind right now."

But Miranda stopped him. "Let's have another round, raise the stakes. Double or nothing."

Theo stared at her, squinting. "What are you getting at?"

Miranda clarified, "I've made myself clear. Another round. Double the stakes from before. If I lose, not only

will I bark, but I'll make them join me and circle the field. If you lose, the three of you..."
