Chapter 227: Too Kind
Pride was stunned for a moment as the strongest woman he had ever met lost her mind. Even after everything she had experienced growing up, never once had she made a sound like this. It was like her mind and heart had completely shattered as her eyes lost all signs of life.
And the sound coming out of her?
It was a cross between pure terror... and something else that he couldn’t put his finger on.
"Gluttony," hissed Pride. His diamond-black eyes reflected his rage as he looked down at the human kneeling in front of his Queen. "If you don’t fucking shift right this minute so that you can treat Hattie, I will show you why I am the first of the Sins."
Gluttony, looking out of Beau’s eyes, snarled softly, even as Hattie continued to look at her stomach while screaming. Ramsey was desperately licking at the wounds, trying to clean them up to the best of his ability, but even then, they continued to bleed.
"I’m not a doctor," sneered Gluttony, even as he felt a sharp, stabbing pain in his heart as he looked at Hattie. "I have no idea how to make her better."
"You are the fucking closest thing we have to a doctor, and until we can replace you with someone better, you are going to have to suck it up and deal," stated Pride, his horns threatening to brush against the ceiling as he straightened to his full height. However, the second the house sensed the movement, the height of the ceiling increased to accommodate him.
Raising an eyebrow, it was Pride’s turn to sneer. "She doesn’t want humans in this room," he announced, cocking his head to the side even as his wings stretched out, encompassing Hattie in their embrace. "And my Queen will always get what she wants."
Once again, the second his wings threatened to touch the walls, the room grew bigger.
