Chapter 0665

Nina

The little red bird transformed right in front of me. A moment later, a young woman with long red hair and striking green eyes stood in the clearing now, and my shock was palpable. She appeared no older than me, rubbing her arm where I had grabbed her, a mix of irritation and pain on her face.

"Hey! That hurt!" she exclaimed, her voice sharp. Her green eyes glared at me, fiery and alive.

I was still reeling from the sudden transformation, but my anger quickly resurfaced once I came back to my senses. "Yeah, well, maybe you shouldn't have been spying on me!" I shot back, feeling my own eyes narrow in frustration. "I wouldn't have grabbed you if you weren't stalking me."

The woman, brushing a stray leaf off of her short, huffed angrily. "Orders are orders, princess," she retorted. "It's not like I can just go around ignoring the Alpha King's commands."

Frustrated, I kicked a nearby stick in her direction, a useless and childish gesture of my irritation. "Then turn back into a bird and shoo off!" I said, my voice rising with every word. "Spying on someone during an intimate moment is disgusting... If you're gonna spy, at least make sure I don't see you."

"Whatever."

The woman turned to leave, her body tensing as if preparing to shift back into her bird form. But suddenly, she paused, hesitating. She looked back at me with those green eyes, her expression changing to something more serious.

"Wait," she said, her tone now cautious. "There's actually something else you should know."

I crossed my arms, my anger still simmering just beneath the surface. "Why aren't you flying off yet?" I demanded. The woman looked around nervously before leaning in closer, as if sharing a secret. "You're being watched," she whispered.

I rolled my eyes. "Yeah, I know."

"No," she said. "Not just by me, but by someone else."
