Chapter-86. The veil

[Raven]

"Where have you been all this time? I thought you left," I addressed Nyssa, walking towards the entrance of the council hall with Asher.

Asher entered the hall while I stayed back with Nyssa.

She glared at me. "What kind of boyfriend are you? Your girlfriend was missing for over an hour and you didn't even care to stalk her? What if I was kidnapped or something bad happened to me? We are in a political war zone, after all." I narrowed my eyes, raising an eyebrow.

"First, if you were ever kidnapped, Nyssa, I'd be worried about the kidnapper and second... what's up with that temper? Got your heat?"

Scowling, she hit my arm and I could feel the grievance in her touch. My laughter died on my lips as her eyes flared, burning with something darker.

"I want you to look at me, Raven!" she said, and I nodded slowly, scanning her.

"Oooo-k... and?"

Taking a sharp breath, she hit my arm again-harder this time. "Seriously Raven? You see no difference in me?"

I squinted my eyes, peering at Nyssa with utmost concentration.

"You grew a tail!"

"NO!" she growled.

"Boob job!" I said with utmost confidence.

"Gross, no!" she snarled.

"New... hairstyle!" I said, and she punched my arm with every intention of cracking my bones.

"I changed my fucking clothes, Raven!" Nyssa hissed. "You really never notice. You don't even care."

"Tsk!" I clicked my tongue. "Nyssa, I-I noticed. I was just teasing you. These new clothes look great on you. But why did you change your clothes?" "There are three Luna candidates now, Raven. This isn't about just looking great. It's about staying on top. One mistake, and I lose everything," she said.

I saw Viella earlier. She was probably in the same clothes as she was wearing before. Does that mean... Nyssa changed her clothes for that omega? I broke into laughter.

"Stop laughing!" Nyssa snapped, her eyes tensing up. "Do you really think this is a joke?"

"Come on, Nyssa. Lowering yourself to compete with an omega?" I scoffed, shaking my head. "What happened to your standards? You don't need to feel so insecure because of... an omega. Your pure alpha blood is enough to overshadow her mere presence."

Nyssa stared at me blankly.

"Yet somehow I disappear every time she's around you," Nyssa's low voice trembled as she held back her frustration. "And even when she's not around, you're always watching her; stalking her. She haunts-your phone-your computer-your butterflies... your eyes."
