VERA
My hunch had been right. Emma was plotting to take everything from me, starting with the triplets.
My blood boiled over when I thought about the conversation I had overheard between her and Xander. I had known something was wrong the night I saw him dashing out of his room without his guard, looking very much like Emma had the night she was in heat.
I followed him and saw him enter her room. With my ear pressed against the door, I heard him beg her for sex like some horny idiot, and Emma, who wasn't even worthy to be his slave shouted at him and even insulted him.
It was then I felt… not fear, but something close to it, because Xander didn't once put her in her place. He even apologized to her. That told me all I needed to know about the growing power she had over the triplets, a power I could not let her wield.
When Emma finally agreed to screw him and I heard the sounds of sex coming from her room, I couldn't take it anymore. I returned to my own room seething.
