Chapter 91: Kill’s Prey

The eyes of man glinted with a sharp look. "I should have known that it was you who would pass down the order for me to be captured." He spat on the ground without showing any respect to Killian.

Killian took a few steps toward the man who was hanging by the chain, causing the mice to scamper away. He reached out and held the jaw of the man in between his fingers and muttered, "I often wondered what a fool would look like; looks like I finally saw one."

The man laughed and taunted, "What’s wrong? Is this about your pride? I think it is. You must be so upset for someone like you to be embarrassed in such a manner. So easy to break, that pride of yours. All I needed to do was to play along a little, and you shifters crumbled to dust."

"And what’s your name?" Killian asked with a smile. "The man who crumbled the pride of shifters to dust?"

Hearing his words, the man huffed. He said, "What is it to you? What are you going to do with my name? I am already in this prison that you have prepared for me. You want to kill me, right? Then be done with it. So even if you are thinking of torturing me, you will get nothing out of me." He wriggled his toes that were bitten by the mice and stared Killian right in the eyes.

With a smile on his lips, he stated in a low voice, "I don’t feel the pain anymore. So do your worst, because unlike you, I have no family whom you could use to threaten me."

"And I am not a coward like you who would need your family to threaten me," remarked Killian as he let go of the man. He flicked his head to one side and stated in a quiet voice, "If you were so resistant to pain, then you wouldn’t have cried and begged my shifters to let you go just a few days ago. I heard that you were quite loud in doing so." He smiled as he raised his hand and traced the wounds on the wrist of the man who had tried his best to break free of the restraints that were holding him down.

The man winced, and Killian beamed. "See? It seems like you can still feel pain. What a relief, right?"

"So what if I can feel the pain? You and I both know that nothing other than death awaits me. So you better kill me when you still have the time. Or do you want to know why I did that? I will spare you the worries," said the man as he spoke with a crazy smile. His voice, however, then turned serious, and he went on, "It’s all because you shifters don’t understand —"

"Spare me your whining," Killian sneered as he turned to look at Ajax, who sighed but handed him the keys to the restraints that were holding the man back. "Do you think I am bothered about why you did it? The one who should be bothered about this situation is you. If you had done a good enough job of cleaning behind you, then you wouldn’t be hanging here."

"If Selene had died that night, you would have been free, Augustus."

The man’s pupils shrank when he heard the lycan call him by his name. It seemed like that even though Killian was pretending to be unaware of a lot of things, the truth was that he saw things better than anyone.

Thus, the second the lycan let go of him, he jumped in the air and attacked him. Finn and Ajax stepped back, not because they feared the fight but because they knew that this fight was not theirs but Killian’s.

The man who had been tied up till now didn’t hold back and attacked Killian with everything that he had. Unfortunately, he couldn’t use magic, as the prison had anti-magic defences built in. However, that didn’t stop the man from shifting and pouncing on the lycan as if he wished to skin him alive and eat his flesh.

"Fool," Finn remarked when he saw the man shift into his fox form.

Killian chuckled. He unsheathed his claws and stabbed the fox right in the abdomen. Even though fox shifters were incredibly fast, they were not as fast as lycans; this was the reason why the lycans were on top of the shifter chain of the shifters.

The fox dropped on the floor, and the man shifted back. He was clutching his abdomen while glaring at Killian. He shouted, "I will kill you."

"Oh dear," Killian mused in amusement. "Another one. Did you take the token? If not, then you need to take one and get in line. There are so many people who want to kill me; you ain’t special."

The shifter hissed at the man as he struggled to get back onto his feet and lunged at the lycan once again.

"Do you think that I am alone? If you kill me, then my people will kill you! They will not rest in ease until they have avenged me," the fox chuckled. He was pushed into a corner, and he knew that he would die sooner or later; thus, he could only resort to threats. "You should let me go if you want your packmates to live in peace."

Killian found the struggle of the fox quite amusing. He tittered and said, "What? Did you think I let you roam around free for so long because you were too skilled in escaping? Then you are wrong. I knew that if I captured you, someone would come and rescue you. I was busy taking care of them, which is why you could live freely for so long."

He paused and announced, "Your freedom was built on the blood and flesh of your packmates. Did you enjoy it, my dear?"
