Alina's POV:

The woman was Camil, the maid I drove away before. Her timidity disappeared without a trace, and she now looked at me as a smile slowly came to her lips. "Miss Quinn."

As if sensing that I was about to lose my temper, she turned around and in that split second, she morphed her face into a somewhat rough man. Another fleeting second passed and she mimicked the face of my deceased mother and said in the same serious voice, "Alina, are you going to admit defeat? Are you going to allow yourself to be trampled by a lowly she-wolf? Are you really going to take it lying down?"

Along with the shock of how fast she could alter her facial features was the terror that hit me as I saw my late mother's face. I fell to the ground. "Who the hell are you?"

The woman strode over, still wearing the exact same face as my mother's. She squatted beside me and said gently, "You just need to know that everything I said is true."
