The night breeze coupled with the fact that she was in the midst of those she loved brightened up Joanna\'s mood.

In front of Anderson\'s gate, Audrey didn\'t drive off until she saw the two siblings walk into the enormous gate.

Meanwhile, as she gazed at their moving back she acted as if she didn\'t see the black car parked about four buildings away from the Anderson\'s mansion.

Audrey drove off after she had made sure that Joanna and Anthony had safely entered their homes.

From where the back Mercedes Benz jeep parked, the driver tilted his head and glanced at the guy sitting in the back seat.

"Sir, are you sure that keeping your distance from her is the best thing to do?" Chris asked the guy whose sadness he could clearly see through his dark eyeballs.

"I thought we had talked about this before?" Amos snapped and looked out of the window.

"I know this is the third time we talked about this same issue but I won\'t stop asking this," Chris insisted.

"I have never seen you this heartbroken, not even when she constantly turned you down

 And that is why I won\'t stop asking you to rethink your decision...,"

"Apart from Kyle, you are the second closest person to me. Since you have been with me for a long time you should know how brutal the humans are," Amos cut in, his pitch raised higher than normal.

"You witnessed the numerous times I was almost poisoned by the spies they planted in my palace...," Amos trailed while staring into space.

"Now that their spies with special abilities who have infiltrated the Kingdom had made Joan their target, you should know that they would stop at nothing to make sure that they kill her...,"

"But we are here to protect her, aren\'t we...,"

"Weren\'t I surrounded by my most trusted men in the palace the numerous times I almost got killed?" Amos retorted. 

Chris shifted his attention back to his front after Amos countered his points.

He could no longer argue with him anymore since he knew very well that he was stating the truth.

"Why have you suddenly stopped talking hmm?" Amos questioned, pretending not to know why Chris has gone quiet.

"I will take you to the club as usual...,"

"Let\'s wait some more," Amos interrupted. He turned around and looked to his right-hand side where Joanna\'s home was.

"After the incident at the party earlier, I am afraid she might get herself into trouble. I want to make sure she is ok," Amos muttered, his affectionate eyes glued on a window on the first floor as if he could see his lover from there.

Back in the sitting room, after sending Anthony to his room upstairs, Joanna turned to the right and headed toward the kitchen.

She was some distance away from the kitchen when someone who came out of nowhere grabbed her hair and shoved her into the walls.

"Who...," Laura grabbed her neck and pushed her harder against the wall before Joanna could react.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Joanna hissed. For some reason, she didn\'t struggle to free herself from Laura\'s hold.

"I have always known you to be very bold but it never occurred to me that you were the type to sneak up on others...,"

"Shut that damn mouth up and stop pretending or else I will be forced to rip it off for you," Laura hollered. She sank her claws into Joanna\'s neck.

She had planned to see Joanna whine in pain and plead for mercy but Joanna didn\'t flinch even as blood dripped from the injury inflicted on her neck.

"Why are you accusing me of pretending when I have no idea of what you are talking about...,"

"I know you are the one who set Rafael and me up so quit acting innocent or else I will...,"

"Or else what?" Joanna interrupted harshly.

"Will you try to kill me in the same manner your old hag and that foolish mother of yours had been doing?" Joanna grimaced.

"How dare you insult my mum after she raised a miserable girl like you for so many years," Laura berated.

Her lack of concentration as she tried to inflict more pain on Joanna made the sly girl grab her hand, twisted it backwards and pinned her against the wall.

"With the way you are gloating, one would assume I slept with your husband...,"

"Shut the hell... ouch...," Laura whined the moment Joanna applied pressure to the hand she was holding so firmly.

"Why do you feel so wronged when this is the same thing you and your friends had been doing to me at every party we attended together in the past?" Joanna snarled. 

She didn\'t let down her guard even though she had Laura under her control.

"Have you forgotten how I was called a thief by the Queen and was almost apprehended when you and your friends snuck her golden necklace into my bag...,"

"That is because you deserved it," Laura blurted and pushed Joanna away.

Joanna, who had already expected this move from her, grinned and folded her hands at her back.

"And you think you don\'t deserve this?" Joanna chuckled.

Her haughtiness as she spoke these words infuriated the already furious Laura more.

"You didn\'t only make Mum beat and humiliate the man that I love so deeply but you turned my birthday party upside down and made me cry...," Laura trailed. 

She clasped her fist and bit her lower lips hard when he recalled how ruthlessly her mother had punched Rafael.

As the scene replayed in her memory, her heart bled all over again.

"And for this, I will make sure you don\'t live past tonight," Laura declared.

Instantly, brown furs appeared on her hands and her eyes turned blazing yellow.

"And I can\'t wait to see you do that, Stepsister," Joanna said provocatively.

Laura leapt only to turn into a full werewolf in mid-air.

"What a showoff!" Joanna blurted and glared at the werewolf who almost plunged out her right eye had she not moved back in time.
