STARLETTE
A crowd formed within seconds, most of them gazing at Lauren with horror and a couple of them pointing fingers at me.
I knew immediately that it was a trap. I was set up, and I fell for it.
I was still trying to process everything when Maximus showed up.
“What happened here?” He asked no one in particular.
A girl pointed at me. “She gave her a cup of lemonade to drink, and she suddenly started foaming. She was poisoned.”
Maximus glanced at me, and my heart rate accelerated. Returning his gaze to Lauren, who was still foaming on the floor, convulsing, he ordered his warriors. “Take her to the doctor immediately.”
“Yes, Alpha.” Two warriors chorused and immediately carried Lauren in their arms.
After they left, Maximus took a second before finally returning his gaze to me.
