“So you killed the seer… That’s why no one could find her to get answers.” Suki swallowed the dry lump in her throat.
“Yep,” Hadeon replied so casually, as if it meant nothing to him. “I made her use her magic to make all the high-ranked wolves from that meeting forget about me, then I killed her. She was my first kill – well, with my bare hands at least. I suppose you would class Raynard’s parents as my first kill.”
Suki snarled, “It’s your fault they are dead, so yeah.”
Not that she needed any more convincing, but his careless replies certainly solidified how insane Hadeon was finally presenting himself to Suki.
During his monologue, Hadeon had moved himself back to the hospital bed, where he now perched.
Suki watched as Doctor Khaos injected various fluids into Hadeon’s arm, trying to make out the names of the substances on the bottles, but she still couldn’t tap into her enhanced vision.
She tugged harder and harder at the chain attached to her ankle, but it wouldn’t budge.
Hadeon rolled his eyes. “Come on, Suki. I thought you were smart. Obviously the chains before were fake for the escape I orchestrated earlier. It was all a game to toy with you.”
“Are you not sick of hearing your voice yet? Because I sure as hell am,” Suki snapped, yanking at the chain again, but still no luck breaking it or severing it from the wall.
He snorted a laugh.
She huffed, giving up on trying to break free and looked back at him. “What about everyone you involved in your plans? Surely they would’ve realised a link between what they told you and the actions that followed?”
“You’d be surprised how stupid people are when they have a little crush,” he said, another arrogant smirk emerging on his lips. When he got no reaction from Suki, his face dropped. “But you’re right. The intern had no clue; she’s so stupidly delirious when she drinks alcohol, so any information that slipped from her, she would have no recollection of even speaking about it.”
Suki narrowed her eyes. “What about the witch? Candace? Witches can sense when they lose one of their own – trainee witch or not, she would’ve known.”
That arrogant grin of his grew again. “You’re right about that.” He clicked his tongue and shook his head, pacing over to the cages again. “It’s a shame she ran away from the pack because she fell in love with a werewolf from another pack and wanted to be with him. Her family were so sad and missed her dearly, but after struggling to find her, they decided to be happy for her.” He leaned against the cage and looked at the woman who Suki promised to save, trembling and avoiding eye contact with him. “Isn’t that right, my sweet Candy?”
Candace silently cried.
Suki’s eyes rounded and a nauseous knot twisted in her stomach. “You sick bastard.”
Hadeon frowned and clicked the button on his control.
Hunching over herself, Suki whaled out in pain as the electricity travelled through her veins.
Turning off the device, Hadeon knelt over Suki’s quivering body as she tried to catch her breath. “You should be grateful I haven’t set yours up to shock you when you speak like my little witch here.” He looked at Candace. “I couldn’t risk her chanting any spells to break free or summon her witchy friends.”
“You’re fucking insane.”
He fisted her hair and made her look up at him. “I don’t appreciate such disrespect,” he said coolly. “I am about to make history. You should be honoured to witness it.”
She bared her teeth at him as rage consumed her, and she wished she could unleash her wolf on him. “Why did you even keep her here?”
“Doc, do you want to answer this one?”
Doctor Khaos was doing his final checks on the machine, ensuring all the tubes and wires were securely fastened. As he worked, he hummed, “To do what we intend, it’s not just simple creating something from nothing; we must take what we need, and to ensure it’s all nicely sealed without complications, we’ll also need our own source of magic.”
“And who can tap into magic better than the servants of nature themselves?”
“Monster,” Suki spat.
“Sir, the machine is ready,” said Doctor Khaos.
Shoving Suki back to the ground, Hadeon stood and moved to the chamber as the doctor opened the door. “Finally.”
“You won’t succeed, Hadeon,” Suki groaned. “You will lose.”
“That’s your problem, Suki…” He stepped into the chamber and allowed the doctor to begin strapping him inside. “…You can’t even see that I’ve already won.”
Refusing to believe him, she searched the room, looking for something – anything – to use to stop what was about to happen, but there was nothing in her reach. Her eyes met the terrified werewolves and witch in their cages, and her heart shattered. She was truly powerless to save them.
With his unstrapped hand, he pulled out the device from his pocket and clicked the button, shocking Suki once again.
She screamed. She tried to fight against the pain, looking up to meet Hadeon’s dark eyes.
Hadeon threw the device to the side and allowed himself to be fully strapped in.
The doctor injected the final few serums into Hadeon, then double- and triple-checked that the straps were secure; he closed the chamber and locked it. “Initiating procedure in three… two…”
“D-Don’t,” she cried out.
Ignoring her, the doctor clicked the button. “One.”
All at once, the supernatural beings bellowed in pain. Electricity flashed and flickered throughout the room.
Suki tried to pull herself up, but each movement only sent more shocks coursing through her veins. “NO. STOP.”
A loud crash struck her ears from outside the room. Seconds later, the door shattered open as a shadowed figure burst his way through.
Doctor Khaos yelped as he was pinned against the wall by the shadowed figure.
The shadow caught a whiff of the doctor and grimaced in disgust. “I suggest you leave, human,” Brendan growled as the cloud of his shadow disappeared from around him.
