Jedrek, Torak, and their mates along with Calleb went to the third floor, where Torak's people kept Reynold and Stephan locked up, while the rest of the dragon people were in other rooms.
"What are we going to do here?" Lilac asked Jedrek before they entered the room.
"Ethan happened to agree upon a deal with the fire dragon shifters and we are due to know whether we should keep them alive or not." Jedrek pushed open the door and entered first.
"What kind of deal?" Raine looked at Calleb, who was walking behind her. Calleb brought Ethan with him, so it must be him who told them about the deal.
"I don't have any idea…" Calleb shook his head. Ethan didn't know any details about what the deal meant for the dragon shifters as they didn't explain anything useful, leaving him in the dark while they kept pressuring him with Rossie's condition.
Ethan, who had lost Ian, was not in the right mind when he agreed, so all he thought was they would help him save his little sister. It was understandable.
At first Jedrek didn't agree to it, but then Torak insisted that they had to take care of this matter first before they set off to Rieka, since it involved Raphael's son.
According to Torak, he had failed Raphael and his mate, so he vowed to himself that he wouldn't let anything happen to their firstborn, but of course Torak wouldn't say it out loud, yet Calleb had never seen Torak being this adamant about matters that didn't concern Raine, for a long time.
In the end, Jedrek had to relent, as Torak wouldn't budge from his decision and this forced them to postpone their trip to Rieka.
They could only hope that this was not some other mishap in disguise that would lead them to another setback.
[What happened between you and Torak?]
Raine almost yelped when Calleb mind-linked her all of a sudden, when they just entered the room. It was very rare of them to use mind-link, since they were not used to hide anything from Torak.
[Why?] Out of instinct, Raine looked at Torak's back. He looked pensive and was always deep in thought recently.
She didn't mind it, though. But usually, Torak would hold her hand and wait for her to enter the room first, and not give her his back like this and walk in without looking at her again.
[You know, why.] Calleb replied, even he himself realized these slight changes in Torak. [Torak was not used to treat you this way.]
Raine stood beside Torak and glanced at him, but his eyes were fixed on the two dragon shifters who were tied to the chairs.
[He is all right,] and then she added, [He just had a lot of things on his mind now.]
Raine stretched out her hand and intertwined their fingers together, only then did Torak turned his head to her and smiled, while pulling her closer to him.
"Jedrek… long time no see." Reynold tilted his head and looked at Jedrek. "When was the last time we got to see each other?" he scrunched his face, as if he was trying to remember. "Was it when you forced my grandfather to succ.u.mb to the vow that they not wanted?"
"They chose it for themselves," Jedrek said simply.
"Or, it's more likely that you will kill them if they didn't," Reynold scoffed.
However, Torak stepped forward, leaving Raine with Calleb behind them before pulling Jedrek by his shoulder to talk to Reynold. His patience toward this dragon shifter had run thin when he tried to fool him.
"Do you know about the cross heart vow?" Torak asked Reynold directly, since that was the name of the vow that Ethan had to take when he agreed to handover Raphael's son to the dragon shifters.
They didn't know about this vow and Belinda didn't have any idea about this either, therefore they didn't know what exactly were the consequences of breaking it.
"Even if I know something about it, I will not tell you," Reynold snickered before he glared at Torak.
"Calleb, ask someone to bring the dragon shifters here, I will kill them one by one until he was willing to talk." Torak didn't bat an eyelid when he said this.
On the other hand, Raine could only lower her eyes, not wanting to see Stephan's pleading gaze. She knew it was a cruel decision to kill their people, which didn't leave any difference between them and those devils.
It was the same thing what the devils did to them in the castle, they turned those innocent people against each other leading to a horrifying massacre in order to get what they wanted.
Yet, at the same time Raine couldn't argue with Torak, she remembered what Raphael had told her about this a long long time ago.
Their world was a world that needed cruelty and sometimes bloodshed, in order to keep everything in place or make it right.
It didn't take long for Calleb to come back with three lycan warriors, each of them holding a shaking dragon shifter.
They pushed the three shifters to the ground, making them kneel.
"Talk now or I will start to kill them," Torak said, there was no emotion in his eyes or any kind of expression which said other wise as he meant each and every word that he said.
Reynold didn't seem to budge at Torak's threat, as he continued to glare at the latter provokingly.
However, he should have known better than showing his defiance in front ofTorak, especially when he was in this state of mind.
"Kill them one by one," Torak said with a face that was devoid of any kind of emotion.
Raine's body turned stiff, even after witnessing countless deaths with her own eyes, she still couldn't get used to it.
She could hear the three people wailing and pleading for their lives as they watched the warriors closing in on them with their extended talons, ready to end their life.
"ENOUGH!" It was Stephan, who roared viciously at his brother. "Can you stop relying on those devils? I have enough of your stubborn self being fed with their lies and false hopes!" It was Stephen's first time to raise his voice against his brother.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
