“Cole, we are sorry?” Vince stated. This was about two hours after Cole was contacted by Brett, Carson, Cole and Vince teleported to Cole’s home only to see the castle in disarray as a lot of people were running around, trying to reach for more doctors, the doctor of those saying in the castle, the settlements and all their assistants were around, the doctor of the other settlements were sent for already. After Cole started shouting that she was a succubus and that they should stop forgetting that fact, Vince disappeared and appeared some minutes later with the succubus healer. Nothing happening to Myra could be traced to anybody. Or any illness which was both known to Ubis and shifters. The search expanded, Carson called his healers and Vince called Vampires healers and scientists, he also started calling from other race too, trying to see if there was any way in which they could help. Nothing could be done. Myra remained in the exact same state she was in, her eyes closed as if sh
“Cole, you need to calm down and explain what happened?” Vince said as he blocked the door way and prevented Cole from leaving the room. Cole was literally frothing at the mouth and he had not being able to stop cursing since he last went still. “Exactly, remember what I said about keeping calm.” Carson added. “I don’t need to know the reason, I have already seen the culprit.” Cole returned as he used his hand to pass through his hair in an aggravated motion. “Who is the culprit?” Vince asked. “Who do you think it is? Bloody Taylor, that is who.” Cole answered as he yelled again. “Why did I allow this scum to live up until this time?” “Wait, so you are trying to say that Taylor had the mind to do this to Myra. What did he do?” Carson asked. “I don’t know but I am going to find out and when I have gotten my answer from him, there will be no him left.” Cole vowed. Moe entered the room back. “The link shut down immediately I told you, what happened, what is wrong?” Moe asked, her
“I know nothing.” Taylor growled out as he swung from the chain which his hands were tied to. He was a few feet above the ground and his palm was free so that he could hold on to the chains to remove the strain from his arms as they were made to hold him up. And that he did. “Of course, we know that.” Vince nodded as he shifted away from Taylor, admiring his work. It has been a long time since he had done physical torture of this kind. “I know that you must be very proud of your handiwork right now.” Carson shook his head and although Vince did not reply, he did turn his head to the side to smile at him. “Why are you two ignoring me? Are you hoping to see me sweat it out, you still won’t get anything from me.” Taylor shouted, true to his words, he was already indeed sweating profusely. “You are already looking ready to break and nothing has been done to you yet. I am inclined to think that we would definitely get something from you.” Carson answered. “Besides, I do know that we a
Vince was worried for Taylor. If what Cole did was not enough to Cole, he cannot imagine what other technique Cole had in mind. Normally, he is not the type to feel pity for traitors but him and Carson communicated through telepathy while Cole worked on Taylor and according to his understanding, Carson tried comparing the pain which Taylor was feeling to something which Vampires could relate with. He compared it to a vampire compelling another one to suffer through blood thirst but there is no relief because no matter how much blood is drunk, the compelled mind would still be thinking he is thirsty. And that can lead to madness when it is done over and over again. Just like how Cole is doing to Taylor. When they let go of the chains. Tayor collapsed on the ground, not even happing the power to stop his fall. The shifter was not going anywhere soon. Cole nodded at Taylor’s weak body and then walked to the side of the cell where he washed his hands. “What are you doing?” Carson asked
“I joined them about twenty years ago at the conference which happened in the human world. Cole was right, not all who went there had pure intention, I went with pure intention but I was a convert by the time I returned...” “I don’t want to know anything about that. Not yet. I want to know about my mate, what the hell is wrong with her? How did it happen and what did?” Cole demanded, cutting Taylor’s story short.Taylor glared at Cole but he didn’t have the stubbornness not to do as Cole had demanded, not when he was very close to the edge of giving up. His wolf rattled in his head, maybe because Cole was warning him or because the wolf was impatient, he immediately started speaking. “I don’t know what was given to Myra but I do know that it is to kill the spirits within her, I overheard them speaking about it before I left them. They will be the game changer and we didn’t like that. So they needed to go. I wish that I could help you with more knowledge on what was in the vial but
It has been a long four hours, Cole thought as he collapse on the bed near his mate who was still sleeping. Or unconscious but he rather likes to think that she was just getting the very much needed rest which she deserves. He left Taylor with Carson and Vince to get enough information from him but he was no longer interested in the information or the fact that the supernatural might soon go to war or there were other spirits in existence in this world. He didn’t care about any of those things, all he cared about was his mate and learning that nothing could be done to help his mate was a big blow. If the vial was given by supernatural then he had a chance of find the cure but it was meant to kill spirits, spirits tied to Myra’s life force, Myra might be okay now but very soon Cole would have to stay back and watch Myra life bleed out of her with nothing which he could do to help. “What ever thought you are thinking, is not helping Myra so stop it.” Moe ordered and Cole shook his hea
Carson could see the look in Cole’s eyes, Cole would not care what the price was as long as he could save Myra. Even if the whole world would burn down, he would not care. “Maybe telling you about this is not a good idea.” Carson voiced slowly. Cole eyes shifted to that of his wolf for just a second before they shifted back to normal and Cole let out a bark of laughter that sounded very much like a warning. “No Carson, you don’t get to do what you are trying to do right now. It will not work. You don’t get to know what might help my mate and keep it to yourself and you certainly do not get to raise my hopes up and clash it against the ground because you feel like it would be better if I was not aware. You don’t get to do that!” Cole ended with a growl. “You should listen Cole.” Carson begged. “This is a secret of Luminaries from as long as I can remember, it is passed from one ruler to another, it is very risky that as a leader, I am only supposed to do that twice or thrice which
“You question is perceived as insultive.” Maut answered as Cole stammered, the last thing he wanted to do was offend Maut into not helping him. “I am sorry, I didn’t mean for it to be so.” “I know and I never said I saw it that way. Carson did. I knew better because I could see your heart. You see, you remind me so much of animals, how I missed them. Shifters always have the curiosity of a pup or cub and wolves most especially, I grew to like.” Maut replied as she sat up in her bed.“Come children, tell me what you wish for and be ready for the price which comes with it.” Maut was small, she had the body of a twelve year old female before puberty, but Maut own came from age, she had shrank in size and her skin was wrinkling even though it was kind of shining in the glow of the warm light that was available in her paradise. Her veins could also be seen easily from where Cole stood. “Yes, I am an old woman but this is an oasis, not a paradise. I miss my home sometimes.” She added wi
