Reborn in a beast world novel

Threat

The blond female was already fed up with Zira's behavior and with a harsh tone she shouted

M:" Drop the act, Zira; we aren't friends at all!!"

The pout on the silver female's (Zira) face morphed into an evil smirk, her mellifluous and chilly voice made the temperature in the room drop dramatically as she slowly began to speak

Z: "Oh oh oh, did the kitty get its claws out? How amusing.

Tell me, Milly, did you stay on that throne for so long that you think you can rebel against me?

Do you think you can address me like this, huh?

Do you think sitting on that throne gives you power against me, when I put you there?

Or don't you remember how I helped you getting rid of your <<best friend Lizzy>>, tarnishing her image to make sure you had the leopard king in your arms?

Did you forget how insignificant you are compared to me? "

Zira took a strand of hair on the face of the blond leopard female and tucked it behind her ear

"A flea with a crown will always remain a flea.

As I put you on the throne, I can remove you from there easily.

Never forget that, Milly, because it could be the worst mistake of your life."

Milly gulped.

She was truly afraid now, she knew what the silver haired female was capable of and she surely didn't want to be in his sights.

She thought to have at least a little bit of rights, of power against her, but she was wrong; with Zira of the black claw tribe no one could disobey, they were all under her control, all her little puppets.

More than once she regretted having meddled with Zira in the past for her selfish and youthful desires, but at that time she was too young and foolish, obsessed by her beauty and the title of queen and had not considered the consequences of her actions: become a perennial pawn of Zira.

But it was too late now, she could only be grateful for not being disposable yet.

M:"W-why are you here?"

Z:" I came to ask for a favor and you, as a good friend, will help me, isn't it ?"

The panther said with a close eyed smile, as if she didn't threaten the other female just a second ago.

M:" B-but I already helped you! I risked a lot to get that stupid cub out of jail.

Everyone's on alert now, the tiger king is breathing down my neck and he's very close to discovering me! I-I can't this time, maybe you can ask- AHHH"

But she was interrupted by the silver haired female who grabbed her by the hair and twisted it hard

Z:" Do I have to remind you who do you serve, uh?" she asked harshly

The blond queen continued to groan for the pain, so Zira pulled her hair harder.

Z:"Answer me"

M: "You, You! I serve you!!"

Z:"Good kitty" she patted her cheek with a soft smile who made the leopard queen even paler

Z:" Tonight I need your help: you need to put this on all the meat before it will be used at the campfire. All of it, do you understand?" She put a sack with a red powder in the hands of the queen, making her eyes go wide.

M:" B-but t-this is moonblood! A-and this is too much! You only need a pinch to have an effect, using so much will kill someone. It's too dangerous! They will surely discover me! They-"

Z:"One more reason not to leave a trace! Just because it will be so easy to get caught you will have to act in a flawless manner, right?"

Milly could only nod, if she had spoken to Zira, she would have gotten angry and probably would have hurt her again.

The panther smiled softly, that smile on her made the blond female shudder in disgust.

Z:"Well done Milly. Don't let me down tonight and you can go on living the life you've always dreamed of..., fail and I'll make you meet your best friend Lizzy again. See you tonight, Leopard Queen"

And with that Zira went away, leaving the blond female froze there with troubled emotions.
