Chapter 76 Masks And Misunderstandings

• Bella swiftly opened the door, and as she expected, Kira was standing in the doorway. "Oh, I'm so sorry for interrupting you. I was just passing by and I became concerned because you've been in here for quite a while," Kira explained, attempting to peer through Bella's mask. Bella gazed at her sister, realizing that Kira hadn't recognized her. Bella peered at Kira and then at the door, hoping that Kira would understand that she needed to leave her alone. "You haven't said a word. Since vampires and werewolves are forming a good alliance, it might be beneficial for me to know your name," Kira suggested. This mysterious vampire, standing just three feet away, was not only beautiful but also rude. Who did she think she was? The last Kira heard, the vampire king didn't have a mate or a Luna, so why was this masked woman so grumpy?
• "Maybe it would be better if we shook hands. We aren't enemies, are we?" Kira proposed, reaching out her hand to Bella. Bella stared at the outstretched hand for a few seconds, realizing it would be rude not to accept her sister's gesture. Bella nodded her head slightly and slowly took hold of Kira's hand. Instantly, a surge of electricity ran through Bella's body as she saw flashes of images she had never experienced before. She quickly released her hold and staggered back for a moment. "What did I just see?" Bella whispered, her initial view of the images being blurry but then becoming sharp and vivid.
• "Are you alright, vampiress?" Kira asked, walking toward Bella. She wondered what could have caused the vampiress to appear lost for a moment. "Oh, no, it's nothing," Bella replied, disguising her voice so Kira wouldn't recognize her. After all, a mysterious woman had taught her how to conceal her real voice. "How far along are you in your pregnancy?" Bella inquired, watching as Kira looked at her in surprise. "I'm just curious, since I might become a mother myself. I can't help but be curious," Bella said, shrugging her shoulders as if her question was inconsequential. Kira smiled in a way that Bella found distasteful. "Oh, this big boy in here is five months old. I might deliver in two months or a month and a half. Since it's an alpha baby, it may take longer," Kira shared while tenderly caressing her stomach. "Wow, that's quite a strong baby you have there," Bella commented, smiling. She had just discovered her hybrid powers and had tested them on the one person she never thought she would.
