There was no point in saying anything more now. Hunter was probably feeling pity for the breeder. She would dig the thorns of pity slowly out of him. As for the breeder-she would show her, her right place.
Hunter dug his hands in his pocket and took his wallet. He picked up a gold card from it and placed it on the table. “Take it and go to the market to buy evening wear for you.”
Seeing the card, Rosalie was feeling extremely furious. Hunter was going out of the way for a mere breeder. He had never given his card to her.
Mia squealed. “Yay! Can I also go?”
“You already have way too many dresses, Mia,” Rosalie corrected her, and Mia’s lips downturned.
“You can go, Mia,” Hunter chuckled. He glanced at River who was sitting quiet during the whole conversation. A pale blush had come to her cheeks and he sensed her nervousness. He wanted to trace it fondly, slowly, and calm down her heartbeat, but in time. He didn’t want to scare her off.
Seeing him staring at River, Rosalie fumed. She interjected, “You must be getting late for warrior training, Alpha.”
Hunter’s reverie broke. He wiped his ***with the napkin and got up to leave. Before leaving, he slid the card to River. “Don’t lose it,” he said and then left. River picked it up with some reluctance.
As soon as he was out of the earshot, Rosalie rose to her feet. Rounding the corner table she reached River. “Give that Gold card to me, breeder,” she growled. “You are not qualified to take that card.”
River looked at her with surprise and fear. Eyes wide, she said, “But I can’t.”
“What did you say?” Rosalie growled.
River flinched. She gulped as Rosalie repeated, almost snarling at her, “What did you just say?”
She looked at Rosalie with her big blue eyes that rounded at her corners. “I-I can’t,” she stuttered.
“Do you even know what that card is?” Rosalie spat. Rosalie couldn’t digest that Hunter gave his no-limits card to the breeder. If anyone would get it, it would be she-the future Luna of the Veil. She had been trying for a long time to grab that card, and he hadn’t once encouraged her. And this lowly breeder comes and he gives it to her just like that?
“That is a black card which is worth millions of dollars. This card has unlimited money access, and Alpha Hunter has given it to you just because he is feeling benevolent. Have you ever seen a card in your pack, let alone own it?” “Bu-but- River stuttered as Rosalie grabbed the card from her hand and yanked it off.
She bent over River and said, “Know your place, breeder. You are nothing but someone who will be tossed out of this castle and thrown into dungeons once your womb is used. So don’t even think of getting used to this place or this wealth!”
River gasped. Her **became as wide as her eyes as she gaped at Rosalie’s rudeness.
“Rosalie,” Mia said. “That is brother’s card and he has given it to River. You can’t just snatch it from her!”
Rosalie rolled her eyes. “Well, I have. What are you going to do about it, Mia? Go, tell it to your brother?
I don’t even expect anything else from a sissy like you. You are a princess and yet you are so… timorous.”
Mia’s face shrank as helplessness spilled over her face. She lowered her eyes so that no one could see.
“Go, shed your crocodile tears elsewhere, Mia. We all are tired of your constant acting an ‘I-am-a-victim’ attitude.” Rosalie knew that Mia would never tell her brother because she liked putting Mia down on occasions and Mia never complained. Mia was a thorn in her eyes. As soon as would marry Hunter, the first thing she would do is to pack Mia off to a boarding school far away from here. So far that she wouldn’t return. She had already got prospectuses from several elite boarding schools in the human world. With humans, Mia was going to be so miserable that she would become useless.
Rosalie started to walk towards the door, swaying her hips, loving her sass. She flicked her blond hair back and winked at Faria. Just as she was going, she heard River.
“Okay, I will go and tell Alpha Hunter that the card is with you,” she said softly.
Rosalie stopped in her tracks. She spun. “What?”
River wiped her ***with the napkin and repeated. “I will tell Alpha Hunter that the card is with you. I am happy that now it is your responsibility to take care of something as valuable as that.”
Rosalie was in front of her in a second. She peeled her lips back as her beautiful face morphed into an
**one. “You have the guts to snitch against me?”
River leaned back. “I-1-just want to be clear on this. After all, if the card is lost, where will I get the money to replace it? And why do you say this is snitching? I thought you took the card because you are entitled to it.”
“Are you acting smart with me?” Rosalie lifted her hand to hit River for arguing with her when Faria stopped her.
“Lady Rosalie! If you hit her, your fingers will get imprinted on her face. Would you want Alpha Hunter to see that?”
Rosalie closed her hand in a fist and growled. Hunter would not be happy to see that she defied his order. The ****had come and hadn’t been for a day also and was showing her smartness? She knew how to tamp her down.
River watched her with horror. She was bracing herself for the impact. When Rosalie took a step back, she let out a ragged. breath of relief. With reluctance, Rosalie held the card in front of her.
“Here, take it ***!” she sneered. “But-” she glared at her. “I will go shopping with you. You will not buy a thing without my approval!”
River took the card from her and lowered her face, her breath getting rougher, her body shivering. She swallowed the breakfast that was threatening to rise in her gut. “Okay…” she said.
“We will go in an hour!” Rosalie said. “Be ready!”
