"Xaden will do nothing." Bale said. "He will never know; that’s why he has to be careful. You need to calm down."
Maria jumped up to her feet. "How can I be calm? Everything I know and everything I have has been changed and taken away from me. I watched that monster! Kill my son while you die nothing!"
She said and her body began to shake anxiously.
"What have I done to deserve this?! I wish to know what wrong I have done for such a thing to happen to me?" She raved on.
And she held herself as she wept.
Bale rose up to his feet and wrapped his arms around her.
"We would get past this." He assured her.
She dragged herself free from his grasp.
"How? When?" She demanded. "When will we ever get past this?! It was your fault! You
Should have left the Crescent pack, you should have never killed them! Now look at where we are!"
"You speak like you did not want Hayley’s jewels." Bale said. "When I raided twice pack and brought back home the booty didn’t you demand that I give you Hayley’s jewelers. Because you coveted what belonged to her didn’t you?
Maria became tensed, angry at the things that he now brought up.
She turned away in anger.
"You had always been jealous of Hayley. You wanted what she had for yourself. You wanted the gold and precious stones and admiration everyone had for her." Bale sneered behind him. "That’s why you requested that I take her ch-

The string wind blew all around and she looked at him fiercely.
"Yes! I wanted what Hayley had. And I will not deny it!" Maria answered back. "She had everything, while I had nothing! I wanted it all! She had the perfect husband, the perfect son and the perfect daughter. Their entire pack loved them. But nobody loved me! After everything I always did! They would love her and I would never be loved! My subjects fear me but they do not love me! I saw it ! I saw the happiness she had and I took it away!"
Bale looked at her.
She gave a coy smile. "You think that you can only point fingers at me?! You think I do not know what you did?! How you forced yourself on her? I have ears everywhere too Bale. Two can play a game."
Then she adjusted the wrinkles from her dress. "We have lost everything because you did not do your job well. You should have used a knife on that boy. Killed him. What? Were you afraid or killing a boy? Bale the terrible? Well we’ll look what that has done to us! I am forever wearing black to mourn my son! While I am in fear of losing my daughter. I tell you Bale! I tell you this now nobody will take Jessica away from me. Especially with the circumstances of how she became mine."
"And I do not want her gone either." Bale said defeated. "We will continue to hide her. No one has uttered a word to Garrick, he still does not know about her. And it would remain this way."
