My fingers wrapped around the interrogated woman's neck as she trembled before me.
"Who sent you?" I growled, my claws digging slightly into her skin. "Tell me everything."
Her eyes bulged with terror. "I-I was just following orders! They p-promised me a place in the new order if I helped!"
"Who is 'they'?"
"A werewolf... and a sorcerer. They said the Selenia needed to be destroyed before she awakened fully." Tears streamed down her face. "I didn't know what she was to you—I swear!"
I studied her pathetic face, searching for any hint of deception. There was none. Just the empty stare of a pawn who never understood the game she was playing.
"You were used," I said coldly. "And in your ignorance, you participated in torturing my mate."
She shook her head frantically. "Please! I can help you find them! I—"
"You're a fool." My voice dropped to a whisper. "And I have no use for fools."
