Edwin & Audrey

Edwin's POV

"How does your heart feel now, Edwing"

I started at the sound of that serpentine voice, my body tensing instinctively. I had been watching Audrey leave, her little red cloak swaying in the wind, but apparently I hadn't been the only one watching. "What the hell are you doing here, Fiona?"

I turned toward her, where she had apparently been hiding herself in the shadows on the opposite side of the bridge. Fional had always been good at that-lurking. Watching. Like a viper waiting to strike. She pushed away from the nearby railing, sauntering out of the shadows in a sleek black cat costume, all shiny black latex and winged eyeliner. The realization that she had been watching the whole exchange with Audrey made my skin crawl, but I

Fiona approached me, and there was a predatory gleam in her eyes that I knew all too well. She stroked my chest with one finger as she circled me, hips swaying, and I resisted the urge to hit her.

I had never hit a woman, but at that moment, I wanted to make an exception. Just once.

"What's wrong, dear?" Fiona purred, her voice dripping with false sweetness. "Cat got your tongue?"

I finally let loose a snarl. "How dare you lie about being my fated mate? To her?"

Fiona simply shrugged, utterly unfazed by my anger. "It worked, didn't it? Drove a little stake into her heart. If she's smart- and I hazard a guess that she is then she'll stay true to her word and leave you before it's too late."

"*ch," I growled, turning to storm away.

But Fiona was quick like a cat, and that slender hand of hers pressed into my chest. Too strong for such a slender woman.

"You're not even going to thank me? When I was kind enough to give you one last chance to end things with the human girl?" She tutted as she examined her nails, which were razor-sharp and all black tonight. "Next time, if there is a next time, 1 won't be nearly so kind. You should be grateful."

My blood ran cold at her words. "What are you talking about?"

Her eyes flicked up to mine, a cruel smile playing on her lips. "I told you once that I would ruin her, and yet you continued to see her. Clearly, it's not her reputation that you're worried about; so what about her life?"
