Chapter 15

"Can you fight him?" The third guy asked.

He was still debating with the other two guys. Right then, he was my only savior. Because of him, I was getting more time to think of ways to save myself.

He continued again," this is a matter of the royals. You two should not involve yourselves in it. If you two make a move on her, you will have to fight both sides. And both of them are royal blood. Do you think you will be able to deal with them?"

The other two guys shrugged. But they did not dare to put their hands on me again.

They left me alone in the room locking it from outside. I sighed. I was good at getting caught I thought.

"What will Chris do when he will find out?" I asked my wolf in my mind.

But she ignored my question. She was not fond of the idea of getting saved by the vampires.

"Are you wishing for Eris again?" I asked her again in my mind.

She started scratching lightly on my insides.

"This is pathetic! How can you wish for him? He abandoned us!" I said angrily. "Don't you have a bit of self-respect?"

But I knew what I was doing. It was useless. I was fighting with myself. We were not separate entities. Her feelings were mine. And my emotions were hers. Deep inside it was not different. I was hoping for Eris to save me.

I started crying. Why it had to be like this. Even though he stabbed me on my back, because of him I was suffering all these consequences, my wolf was still fixed on him.

After a while, the lock opened. First, the guys from earlier entered the room. Behind them was a tall man. He was handsome. He was in a suit. He looked very sophisticated.

His hazel-green eyes glowed for a moment when he saw me. He looked at the other guys and they nodded. They left us alone in that room closing it from outside.

He put his hands on his pockets and leaned on the table behind him. His eyes were following me.

"So," he started talking. "You are the wolf Chris has been hiding?" he asked. "Can you please tell me what is the specialty that made him keep you alive? That is so unlike him."

I was just looking at him confusedly. What kind of rivalry did he have with Chris, I wondered?

"Oh! My apologies, I forgot to untie your mouth," he said.

He came to me quickly and moved the piece of clothing away from my mouth.

I started coughing. He grabbed my chin and forced me to look into his eyes.

"Now tell me," he ordered.

"I was just a prisoner," I replied coldly. "Why do you think I was running away?"

"He would not keep a wolf alive just to keep them in prison," he said.

"Then why don't you ask him yourself why he kept me alive? I was just a prisoner; how could I know his motive behind it. Like right now, I am captured by your boys and don't have a clue what you exactly want from me," I said boldly looking into his eyes.

He chuckled. I frowned. He suddenly moved the loosened hairs from my neck.

"Weird," he said. "What is the point of keeping you alive if he hasn't laid his teeth on you yet?" He asked frowning looking into my neck.

His cold touch made me shiver and his eyes started glowing. He was better looking when closer. His sharp features and perfectly green eyes were captivating. His aura was alluring.

"Hmm? Why am I getting this fragrance out of nowhere?" He was as if asking himself confusedly.

"Do you know when we get the fragrance of blood?" He asked me.

I was quiet. I did not know. I had heard about this before. Chris and Felix were talking about it the day before.

"You don't know? Well, we get this fragrance from someone we desire," he said chuckling.

"What?"

"Yes. Now as you can see, when I entered the room and saw you for the first time, I did not get this fragrance," his eyes were glowing more than ever and he continued, “but now, I am getting this fragrance. Chris and I are friends since our childhoods. Now if we talk about our childhood, you can probably guess I am not talking about a few years back, right?"

"Have you been living for thousand years as well?" I asked.

"Not that much. But nearly thousand you can say," he replied.

"You see, I have always fancied things Chris owns. Since he has not spoiled you yet, it is proven that you are of some sort of value. And that gets me excited," he said greedily.

He started twisting my hairs and playing with them. His fingers started rubbing on my neck.

"I want to see how he will react if I spoil his toy before him," he said in a low husky voice.

He brought his face closer to my chest. He inhaled deeply and moved his face from my chest to my neck. I had stiffened. My heart was beating fast. My wolf was howling inside. I wanted to vanish within the wall behind. The more he was getting closer to my body the more I was getting anxious.

I was praying to get rescued. I did not want this. He slightly licked my shoulders. Before he could do anything, a voice interrupted.

"Drinking a wolf's blood is forbidden. Do I have to remind you that once again?" a familiar voice asked coldly.

I opened my eyes. The guy was startled. He turned back to come face to face with Chris standing there at the door with Felix behind him.

The guy smirked and got up. "My, my! It's been a long time, Chris. How lucky I am to have you tonight here in my castle. But I really wonder what brought you here all of a sudden since you stopped coming to my palace 400 years ago," he said sarcastically.

"You can say to charge you with treason for the crime you committed, or should I just ignore your audacity and have mercy on you as I did 400 years ago?" Chris returned, smirking.

The guy's face darkened. He clenched his fist. Ignoring him, Chris beckoned Felix to rescue me. Felix came and freed me from the mana cuffs. The guy was not protesting. He was standing in a corner letting Chris having his way.

Chris was looking at me coldly. I could tell he was mad. I felt awkward. He probably found out that I was running away. He would again let those demon monsters chase me down I thought.

"Let's go," Chris said flatly. I only nodded.

"When he gets tired of you, I will be here for you, dear," the guy said teasing me from behind chuckling.

Chris gave him a burning glare.

"Ops! My apologies," He faked getting afraid.

Chris grabbed my wrist and pulled me strongly out of the castle. I was really worried about what he would do to me once we got to his castle.
