Chapter 123
A groan was heard past the crackling of fire, in the underground dungeons.
Nancy slowly opened her eyes, and reflexively moved her hand to touch her aching head, but her eyes flew open on hearing the clanging of chains.
She looked about her and gasped, struggling, only to groan painfully at the tight grip the clamp had around her wrists.
Unfortunately, each wrist of hers was chained to the sides of both walls facing each other in the cell room. Her legs were free, but she was so weak, she was on her knees. Her hands hurt, mostly her wrists, her knees felt cold against the floor. Come to think of it, the entire prison cell she was in was so cold, any normal human would have frozen to death since.
Dried blood stains were at the side of her lip and nose, and her eyes were very heavy, thus, it was half closed as she panted, looking around.
Where the f**k was she?
She tried to get up, but the chains bound to her wrists made it quiet impossible, so she fell back to her knees again with a loud gasp, chains jiggling and echoing in the room.
“Easy there,” Someone suddenly appeared before her and she scrambled back, chains jiggling nosily. “I doubt struggling will do you good. You’d just keep getting hurt p>
Nancy eyed her cautiously. This Kitsune was in her supernatural form. She had short pink hair and dark gold eyes and she had countless tails swishing behind her, emitting a dark aura.
Anyone from afar would think she was nice and vulnerable with her Angelic expression, but Nancy knew better than to fall for it. They were foxes and their kind was cunning, dangerous and deceitful.
“I’m Beth,” she suddenly pulled something which she had been holding into view, and Nancy saw it was a glass of water. “What’s your name p>
She subconsciously licked her lips, aware of how parched her throat was. It felt like she had been roaming the deserts and hadn’t felt a single drop of water slide down her throat.
“H… How long have I been out.” She asked, ignoring the previous question. However, Beth didn’t mind and just answered nonchalantly.
“For a few hours p>
Nancy was a bit relieved seeing as the water was meant for her since she stooped low to give it to her, but her expression paled when she saw Beth put her finger in the water and stir.
It suddenly turned a blue-crimson color, so bright, it was reflecting off Nancy’s face, to the wall.
“Here, you must be very thirsty p>
Nancy looked away, giving Beth a view of her profile as she spat out.
“What’s that p>
The woman was no longer smiling as she forcefully held Nancy’s chin with the cup hovering at her throat.
However, her frown was suddenly replaced by a tight lipped smile.
“You don’t have to worry about anything anymore. Alpha Nancy p>
Just as Nancy was about to express shock of the name reveal, Beth tugged on the chains holding up her left wrist, and as she gasped in pain, the Kitsune poured the entire contents, following up a quick grab on her small nose, leaving her no choice but to swallow everything.
As Beth stands up, floating back, a satisfactory smile on her lips, Nancy coughed and spluttered, grimacing at the slight bitter taste in her mouth.
She couldn’t help but burst into tears the next minute as she bowed her head down, feeling helpless.
The Kitsune vanished without a word and Nancy stopped crying after, breathing hard, her legs placed in a criss cross pose, her chest slowly rising and falling.
As she looked up, several shades of pink were swirling in her eyes. They swirled around in quick rotational movements, that they suddenly began to glow softly, her hands fisted as she growled, forcing herself to smash out of the chains, but something repelled the chains against her, and the clamps around her wrists tightened, causing a scream to escape her lips which echoed in the dungeon; up to the throne room.
The soft glow in her eyes died down, and her head fell back in helplessness once again. Her heart cleanched as she remembered Koan.
Had he figured out she was missing?
Did he care?
Would he come to find her?
What about Talia?
What was her next move going to be?
All these thoughts roamed around her like annoying buzzing flies, and she could only but fall asleep, tear marks drying up on her face.
Meanwhile, in the throne room, The king’s royal warriors, Tina and Trixie were standing side by side on the air, several glowing glass bulbs around them.
Meanwhile, at the side of the throne room were two witches stirring something simultaneously in a cauldron. They had pained looks on their faces, and each of their legs were being chained to the wall, leaving no room for protest or escape.
Whatever they were stirring in the cauldron was emitting the same blue-crimson glow as the one Nancy was being forced to drink earlier.
But the two were ignored, especially by the King who was more interested in staring at the glass ball which Tina had brought closer to him.
“My daughter.” His voice was shaky and croaked as he held the ball, bringing it close. For a milli-second, there was a softness, just for a short while as he stared at Naomi.
However, his expression turned back to normal, with a hint of darkness when he saw her sitting beside someone, picking on something while shyly talking to him.
“Who is this?” He asked with a snort.
“He’s the reason she’s not yet willing to follow us here your majesty,” Trixie replied with folded arms. “He’s her mate… Alpha Daniel p>
The man’s eyes suddenly showed pure hate as he glared at Daniel.
“Kill him p>
The two Kitsunes exchanged crude smiles before Tina spoke.
“May I suggest something your majesty p>
The King waved his hand, suggesting they take the ball away from his sight, before waving his hand to Tina to continue.
“What if she kills him instead p>
