Ankyra Sound How did you think I wouldn't guess

To be honest, Ondine had not even wanted to participate in what she had thought to be a game. She had been challenged - triggered, some would say, by the actions of the boy that claimed the alpha as his own. She was just playing the part that had been put on her as a weight, and was not happy with her own actions either. This game had made her feel important, had made her feel that she felt more for Kjalarr than she had intended. She doubted Maude's actions were also because of the feeling of love - she instead thought that pure obsession and insanity was the cause. Maybe Kjalarr was the only stable thing in his twisted life, and he relied on him to maintain his sanity. But she could not let the pirate claim their alpha, because of what she thought to be love.

I do not stink - don't act like you would not like to smell just like me, to have been made just like me... Ondine said calmly, though her intention was to shut Maude up or to hurt him badly. She felt that she had the right to comment - to defend the false claims of the pirate. She was just about to say that she had refused Kjalarr at first - That HE had come to HER - but was silenced by the alpha's words. She felt naked without his protection, and pulled a pure, hurt face when he moved away. Did he not see that she was defending him? That she thought she loved him? Well, it had taken him this long to find out what the true reason was why Maude and her could not get along.

It was a game I was forced to play! Can't you see - can't you see why I had let you claim me?! She raised her voice, but her voice was filled with pain. I do not see you as a prize... She dramatized her words in a softer, gentle tone.
