"Pardon?" Serena asked, her brows raising. What a question. This woman was the most hostile person she had spoken to in Ironshade.
"A rogue conveniently shows up here, and suddenly you have Darius running helter-skelter, ruining everyone's hard work," she said, her brown eyes narrowing.
Serena noted how she referred to the Alpha as Darius- no formalities, nothing. Whoever she was, she held more importance than the Elders.
She cleared her throat, willing her tone to steady.
"I don't quite understand-" she began, her overly embellished accent straining as she tried to steady her voice.
Livia laughed, shaking her head as she walked away.
"Unbelievable. Truly classic," she said, dragging a hand through her dark auburn hair before exhaling sharply.
When she faced Serena again, her expression was colder.
"I see through you, through your schemes." A finger jabbed in Serena's direction, though Livia kept her distance.
