Chapter 90: A Hybrid (2)

"Now I will not ask you why you lied to me, but I hope that the next time you do it, you will have a valid reason, bubbles," remarked Killian. After he finished speaking, he walked down the path without letting Inez say another word.

She watched the man leave and heaved a sigh of relief. Just now, Inez was sure that the man would force her into confessing the truth. Fortunately, he didn’t come down hard on her or else — but at the same time, Inez wondered who that man was whom she saw and missed and what kind of connection he had with her mother.

She wondered if he was her father or not, and if he was, then why didn’t he stop to talk with her?

Back in the small dungeon of the Red Blood Hill, where the prison was located, silence stretched along with the cries of those who were trapped inside the dungeon.

Some of the prisoners were almost driven crazy as they banged their hands on the metal bars and asked the guards to let them go, while the others were completely silent. They were looking at the small window that overlooked the sky with a blank expression, as if they knew that they would never be able to get out of this place alive.

And among these dull prisoners, a man in resplendent clothing was walking past the corridor. This man was none other than Killian. Unlike the smile that he usually wore on his lips when he was talking with Inez, he was solemn and calm. His silver hair was tousled and his clothes looked rather out of place, as his white buttoned-down shirt with the sleeves rolled up and black trousers were cleaner than the water in the bowls of the prisoners.

"You are here," Finn raised his head and looked at the man in front of him. He crossed his arms and stated, "You missed another council meeting. If this goes on, the head of the council will hunt you down by himself."

"If he has the time, then he can try," remarked Killian as he peered inside the special cell, which was darker than the rest, but he didn’t see anything. Only the sound of water and mice scampering right and left echoed in the silent room.

Impatience flicked through Finn’s eyes as he stated, "This can’t go on any longer, Kill. You know that, too. Even if you have the strength to take on the council, you should still respect the head; he is doing everything he can for the sake of protecting you. You can’t just keep finding trouble for him."

"Did someone say anything to him?" Killian went straight to the point upon noticing that there was something amiss.

"Alpha Cadogan had something to say about your continuous absence from the meetings," replied Finn as Ajax walked over with the key to the cell in his hands. "He said a lot of nasty things which caused me to almost rip his throat out, but he was not the only one who was speaking, so I had no choice but to hold on."

Killian hummed. He looked at the watch on his wrist and said to Finn, "Arrange a meeting with Alpha Cadogan. I will go and have a nice ’chat’ with him since he misses me so much."

"In?"

"In about one and a half hours," replied Killian as he stepped aside and allowed Ajax to open the door. "I will be done with work by then."

"I have tied his hands and legs," stated Ajax as he opened the door of the prison.

"Is he the right man?" Killian asked as the door of the prison was pushed open. "I will be really upset if he turns out to be a dud like all the others."

"Don’t worry," Ajax assured him as he pulled back from the door. "Nothing will go wrong this time around; I and Levi thoroughly verified that he was the right guy before catching him in one of the bars that you own. Fucker was raving about making a fool out of you and Selene."

Anger flashed in Killian’s eyes, but he held on to the last strand of rationality that he had.

"Let us hope that he is the one," replied Killian with a shark grin. "If not, then you all will be in for a tough night."

The three men stepped inside the special cell that not only blocked shifting but also magic and the abnormal strength of vampires.

"Ah, so you were a shifter all along, and here I thought that you were a wizard," Killian remarked. However, he took another sniff and narrowed his eyes. "What a rare breed. You are a wizard as well?"

When two different kinds had a child, they would give birth to a child who inherited the ability of just one parent. That was what happened with shifters, but when it came to wizards or witches having children with shifters, they would give birth to a child who had inherited the abilities of both parents.

Though usually it was really hard for them to have a child.

"He is a wizard as well?" Ajax whistled. "No wonder it was rather hard to track him down; he knew how to hide himself quite well."

"I should have noticed that something was off when this bastard escaped from us the last time," remarked Finn with his eyes narrowed at the man who was hanging by the wall.

Killian walked inside the room and came to a stop in front of the shabby-looking man. The man’s clothes were torn, and dirt had been collected on them because of how long he had been trapped inside the cell. His legs were buried in water where mice had bitten his toes off until his bones were revealed.

And yet the man was smiling when he saw Killian step inside the cell. He smirked and spoke in a taunting voice, "Well, well, well, look at who is here."
