Chapter Seven

John POV

Time went by slowly as I waited to hear back from Bex. Maybe the king would be ok with her leaving as long as he didn’t know that she was leaving with a werewolf. I was becoming more and more curious about her story. She was a non-vampire, vampire princess. How did that work? Footsteps approached the door. I tensed up but relaxed slightly when I saw that It was Ivan.

“Well?” I asked, hoping he had brought news of Becca’s conversation with Claude.

“I do not often get to dine with the King and the Princess, wolf. I know no more than you do.”

“Then why are you here?”

“The king wants you tortured for information and then killed.” He said indifferently.

I started getting nervous. He was loyal to Bex, but not me.

“Relax John. Hurting you would hurt Rebecca, and that I’ll never do. Just do me a favor and yell out every few minutes, or it will be me getting tortured.”

Ivan had done nothing but shock me so far with his blunt honesty. At least I wasn't getting tortured, but why?
