Chapter 24: Loatie’s Secret Prisoner

His father eyed him through the bars of the cell that Loatie had thrown him in. He set a jug of A+ blood just inside the entrance and sat down in the chair. His father ignored the offering to glare at his son.

“What do you want, boy?

“It’s not what I want. It’s what I need.”

“Whatever you need is not my problem. You are nothing and I want nothing to do with you. Your mother gave her life for you and had I known what you would grow up to be, I would have ended you as soon as you came out of her womb, Guriel.”

“Don’t call me that! It’s Loatie!” He growled.

His father’s eyes flashed at him angrily. “That is the name your mother gave you, Guriel! That is the name I will call you!”

“You can give it willingly or I will take it from you.”

His father laughed. “For someone who is half vampire, you know nothing of your species. You embraced your magic, but turned your back on your fiendish side until you realized you needed antivenom.” He paused to laugh. “For your information, unless venom or antivenom is given voluntarily will not be effective. So, if you were to take it, per se, it would not work.”

“WELL IF YOU HADN’T BEEN A VAMPIRE IN THE FIRST PLACE, I WOULDN’T NEED YOUR FUCKING ANTIVENOM! I COULD HAVE FOUND ANOTHER VAMPIRE TO HELP ME! YOU’RE

THE REASON SHE’S ABLE TO FIGHT MY ANTIVENOM! YOU AND MOM MADE ME WEAR! YOU AND MOM CHOSE TO BREED! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!”

He yawned and laid on the cot. “Maybe let the girl go, Guriel. I hear she has a mate. What is so special about her anyway? You vying for your attention. You are not exactly ugly.”

“She is

Loatie growled. “She is mine! That’s why!”

have a ton of females

“I hear she is to be the queen of dragons. Those are not enemies you want, son, trust me.” He rolled over to face him. “Let me give you another lesson in magical beings. Dragon skin is the toughest there is. Magic cannot penetrate it. Venom nor antivenom will affect them if they have shifted. The fact that she fights your potion leads me to strongly believe that she might not be human. You should tread carefully, because when all of this hits the fan, you will lay dead at her feet and he will take pleasure in snapping your body into pieces. There is no way you win this. Not against the trio.”

Loatile laughed. “So far, I am winning. They have no idea what’s going on with her. That king has not been to see her at all and she has stopped asking for him. It won’t be long until she fully submits to me and willingly, at that.”

His father smirked. “Ask yourself, how many times have you had to break their bond and how many times have you had to boost yours? The girl is not human and you are foolish to keep telling yourself that.”

The doorbell ringing through the house cut off Loatie’s nasty retort. He narrowed his eyes on his father.

“Drink your blood, old man. You’re going to need it. I will have your antivenom.”

He jogged upstairs, stopping briefly in front of the mirror to make sure his appearance was back to normal. His sandy brown hair, blue eyes, and perfectly chiseled face were all that he needed to keep his bed full every night. He had no problems finding a willing woman to let him do whatever he pleased to them. He ran his fingers through his hair, making it even more messy, and answered the door. He struggled to keep his smile in place when he saw that bitch dragon that had tried to take Lilianna away from him.

He wished he could take her out already, but he couldn’t until the king was down. She frowned at him and he beckoned her in. This was the second time in 4 months that he had had visitors from the dragon kingdom. The first time it had been two witches. Chrys and Melly or something. He didn’t actually care. He hated them all. He stepped to the side and gestured her in. She waited for a moment and the air shimmered around her for a moment. He knew damn well she wasn’t about to try to aura him.

“So, Guri

Guriel, I hate to barge in like this, unannounced, but it has come to our attention that you have been making many trips to the Lotus Clan. I would like to know why?”

His eyes narrowed on her. “My mate is there,” he hissed. “Not that it is any of your business, but I have every right to be there.”

Chapter 24: Loatie’s Secret Prisoner

She folded her arms over her chest. “I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but everything that involves that clan is my business. What’s her name?”

Loatie quickly tried to shift through unmated females from the clan and was almost left floundering, until the girl who had inhabited his bed the last time he was there to visit Lilianna surfaced in his mind.

“Laurie.”

He walked away from the door and hoped she followed him. Maybe he could dispose of her in a way that was not suspicious and wouldn’t lead back to him. She trailed behind him to the kitchen where he went about making her tea. He hummed to himself as he leaned down into the refrigerator to grab the milk out. He slid a vial of dragon’s bane into his hand and stood. He held up the milk.

“Do you take milk and sugar in your tea, Beta JoAnn?” he asked, flirtatiously.

She raised an eyebrow at him. “Your flirting does not amuse me, Guriel.” She pulled her shirt down a little to reveal her mark. “I’m mated, something I hear you have not had the blessing to be,” she said sweetly.

He cursed silently. That snobby bitch! Who in the hell did she think she was? He turned his back to her and put some milk in the cup along with a quarter of the vial of the dragon’s bane. It would take her hours to die and she would have been too long away from his house for him to be a suspect. He handed the mug to her and she lifted it to her mouth. He eagerly watched her and had to take a calming breath when she set it back on the table without taking a sip. She tapped her fingers on the table.

“Are you alone in the house?” S

She asked.

“Of course. Would you like to check?”

She cocked her head to the side. “No, I believe you.”

“May I ask the real reason you have come back, Beta JoAnn?” He questioned, sick of the bullshit run around.

“I came to offer you a job.”

“A job?”

She nodded. “As I’m sure you are well aware, that the king’s mate, Lilianna, is the daughter of King Luis of the Lotus Clan.” Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Anger made him want to leap

cap over the counter and pound her face to a bloody stump and drain her of every drop of her blood. He smiled at her amicably.

“I was unaware. How lucky he is to have found his mate.”

The words that fell from his lips made him even more furious. Lilianna was his and that motherfucker could want her all he wanted, but she would never be his. He longed to wipe that smirk off her hideous face. His hands curled around his mug of tea and he took a long sip to try to hide his hatred.

“Well, the king is looking for witches for an assignment. If you are interested, come to the castle. You will receive all of the details then.”

She got up to leave.

“Wait, you didn’t drink your tea.”

“Oh, how rude of me.”

She picked it up and drank it down all in one large gulp. She set it down and walked out of the house. He followed her to the door with a grin on his face. Goddess, how he hoped she died a painful death. Then one would be down and all he would have to do is eliminate the rest of the royals. He gave her a small wave and when she took the skies, he slammed the door.

“Bitch,” he mumbled as he walked back to the dungeon to try to convince his father to help him.
