Chapter 16
A villain’s POV
Witches, werewolves, humans… They all seemed the same to him at the end of the day.
He had to blend in among the werewolves, monitoring them and gathering as much Intel as possible for his master… The true Lord of the North.
When Alpha King Kaelos brought forward the idea of making a truce with the witches of the continent through marriage, he knew it would be a recipe for chaos.
As expected, the werewolves of the Blood Oak pack were quick to ostracize her and treat her like a monster… As if they weren’t worse.
“She’s one fine piece of candy, though; I’ll give her that.” He muttered to himself while watching Kaelos’ movements on the night of his arranged wedding with Odessa.
He hid himself in the shadows, watching as the Alpha king walked into the compound of Elder Davina.
He smirked, moving faster than a shadow and entering the compound as well.
“What are you up to, Kaelos?” He muttered to himself, staring up at the windows of the building.
Suddenly, before he could think of a way to scale up the windows and get into the building, a feminine voice spoke up meekly from behind him.
“Uh… Sir?”
He paused, his eyebrows furrowing into a frown.
However, that frown soon turned into a mischievous smirk as he realized how interesting the situation was.
It’s been a while since he had a little fun.
Anyway, he slowly turned his gaze to the source of the voice only to spot a petite-looking girl, probably around Odessa’s age, with long black hair and attractive pink lips.
Oh, she must be one of Davina’s maids.
His eyes glistened with interest as he scrutinized her.
Oh, la, la…
“Ahem!” The girl coughed uncomfortably when he stared for too long, forcing him to raise his head and stare directly into her eyes. “Sir, do you have an appointment with Elder Davina? I think I saw the Alpha king walk in to meet with her. Or
She paused, seemingly in deep thought about the whole thing.
He was a little bored so he stayed put, waiting to see if she could be of any amusement.
oh, right! You must’ve followed the Alpha king here.” The girl suggested innocently.
Naive little thing…
He loved toying with the naive ones. They were easier to prey on, especially with the requirements he needed.
He needs the life force of as many werewolves as possible to keep his transformation stable.
That’s a side effect of being an artificially made hybrid…
“Oh, darling. You’ve got a lot of things distorted in that pretty little head of yours.” He said pitifully, stepping forward with his hands placed behind his back.
His heightened hearing could already pick up the slight increase in her heartbeat as she stared at him in a mix of curiosity and hesitation.
Meanwhile, he could also pick up the sound of Kaelos making his way to Elder Davina’s chambers upstairs.
Whatever he was going to discuss with her, he needed to know so he could report back to the Lord of the North.
“I– I don’t think I The maid’s eyes went wide with anxiety but she remained rooted to the spot, almost as if she had no control over her body.
He grinned when he saw this, his eyes glinting with a mysterious light as he locked his gaze on her eyes.
“Just look into my eyes and everything will be okay.” He muttered softly, his voice like a lullaby.
The girl’s eyes fluttered, her mind slowly entering the grasp of his powers.
Being an artificially made werewolf–witch hybrid had its perks, one of them being his affinity to magic.
Anyway, the girl’s legs wobbled, causing him to rush to her and catch her before she could fall to the ground.
His gaze fell on her neck, the veins throbbing and inviting with blood that made him lick his lips.
So much life in this fragile body.
If he wasn’t in a hurry, maybe he would’ve let himself have some extracurricular fun with her, but he stuck to taking her life force.
Raising a single finger, he brought a claw and sunk it into her neck.
Blood gushed out like a fountain, causing the poor girl to squirm, but she didn’t make any sounds under the influence of his magic.
“It would be quite interesting if they find your body after this.” He mumbled, more to himself than the girl.
He closed his eyes, feeling her life force flow into his body like electricity.
He didn’t necessarily have to feed on her blood like a vampire to get her life force… Even though that definitely added to the thrill.
All he had to do was kill her and let her die in his arms.
Like a grim reaper… Except much hotter and without the whole skull face gimmick. Content originally comes from.net
Anyway, after she’d been completely drained of her life, he dragged her body along, dumping it into one of the ponds in Elder Davina’s compound.
“This is going to be the talk of the pack by tomorrow and I can already guess who’s going to be blamed.” He blurted to himself as he dusted his hands before blitzing up the walls.
He blended into the shadows and kept his ears close to the windows to eavesdrop on Kaelos’ conversation with Elder Davina.
However, never would he have been able to guess what he heard next.
“Indeed, a witch being the mate of a Werewolf is something unheard of. I can see why you feel troubled.” Elder Gita said.
What in the nine hells?!
He squinted his eyes, putting one and two together and coming to an interesting conclusion.
The Alpha king’s ‘witch bride’ is also his fated mate.
How poetic indeed…
“You sure have a way of messing with your ‘children’.” He muttered with disdain, staring at the moon, which seemed to twinkle in response.
After listening a little more to the Alpha king’s conversation with Elder Davina, he watched the former walking out of the building with a disgruntled look on his face.
Hmph… Of course, Kaelos would be against the idea of having a witch as his mate.
“He’s no fun at all.” He commented, a smirk curling up his lips. “But on the bright side, this news would be much welcomed by the true lord of the North. There are so many ways we could use it to our advantage and then this pack shall fall and Kaelos with it.”
With that, he jumped down from the building and made his way to the Alpha King’s mansion.
