Chapter 6 Who sent you to hurt my little dove
Azriel's view
It was funny how people tend to be deceived easily,
But then again that was the only way his plan could work
Azriel gaze was fixed on his sketching book, his fingers lazily sketching, his face calm, his eyes empty
He looked relaxed yet dangerous a far cry from the personnelle he put out in public
“My Lord”
Luca bowed the minute he walked into the basement, his black cloak hiding his frame
Azriel didn't look up yet, his gaze fixed on what he was sketching
No one said a word, or dared to destract him
After minutes of silence he finally looked at the still bowed Luca
“Hm?”
“The minister, he's been captured”
Azriel flicked a finger, which meant he should be brought in
Luca left immediately, the shadow demon's were round the basement, guarding Azriel like loyal servants
Soon Luca pulled the minister of the wolves clan in, the minister struggled but with him tied up and blindfolded it was an aimless struggling
Not to mention a wolve against a demon,
Tsk
The winner was obvious
Luca threw the minister to Azriel's feet, Azriel barely paid attention to the thrown still struggling minister
It was obvious the minister was trying to shift to his wolf form
What a pity,
Wolves bane not only weakens weak wolves, it also stops their shift
Tsk
And it was unfortunately round the basement
“The faes?” Azriel asked still sketching, the shadow demon's shifted uncomfortably
Luca on the other hand looked like he swallowed a lemon
“No words yet, my Lord”
Azriel hand stopped sketching, he looked at Luca directly which made him falll to his knee's immediately
“I'm sure they'll be good news my Lord, they're after all skilled in tracking the scent”
Azriel gaze was still on Luca, Luca visibly trembled which amused Azriel a bit
Luckily Rion and Derek walked in, azriel's gaze shifted to them and they knelt immediately
“My Lord”
“Found it?” He asked directly to the dark fae Rion
“M.my Lord, we haven't found it yet”
Azriel's green eye's switched to gold and the whole room knelt immediately
gods… they were going to die!! Luca thought
Rion almost practically lay down on the floor as he hastily explained
“M.my lord, we caught the scent but it was weak before we could check the mirror had already vanished only leaving the flower petals around it”
“So you missed it” Azriel said matter of factly
Derek cursed silently at Rion hastily explanation that could literally get them killed in a second
“Do you know what happens if the mirror isn't found?” Azriel continued calmly
“T.the lady regains her memories” Rion stuttered
“And if she does?”
“She wouldn't cho…” he trailed off, finishing that sentence was like giving a knife to your executioner to finish the job
“Which brings me back to…” Azriel shot his hand forward a strong force send the minister to his hand on chokehold
“Who sent you to hurt my little dove”
The minister went full panic mode, thrashing under azriel's hand but to no avail
Azriel snapped his empty hand and the blindfold and gag came off
The minister blinked before settling his blurry image
His expression turned from horror to shock
“Azriel??”
Azriel stared at him with cold still gold eyes, minister Jan, his dear father's loyal minister
Honestly he shouldn't have been part of the game but tsk
He had to plan the ambush that happened to hazel
He had to pay.. unfortunately
Minister Jan however looked like he has just seen a ghost
How….. Azriel had always been weak, how on earth was he the controller of two forbidden factions!!?
“I didn't realize you had trouble hearing minister Jan?”
That snapped Jan, out of his haze
Obviously underestimating Azriel he glared and snarled
“I have no idea what you are taking about, now release me at once”
“How dare you talk to..” Azriel raised a finger cutting Luca short
A glint appeared in azriel's eyes his hand tightened on Jan's neck cutting of his air supply and a snake tattoo appeared on azriel's neck and hand… like he was finally using a bit of his power
Jan turned pale, struggling to breathe and pure realization
Azriel wasn't a normal wolf
He was the forbidden wolf
A wolf with the devil seed within him
Ancient and rare
Something all factions tremble over, even the forbidden factions
Oh God… He was technically a half ancient wolf and a half devil (not demon)
“P.please I'll t.talk, d.dont kill me” he wheezed and strained
Azriel released him and he fell to the floor, coughing with his body curled
“Talk”
“It was prince Regan, he wanted Hazel dead before she got into the borders”
Azriel said dryly
“My dear step brother might not want her to get in but he's a coward, incapable of ordering someone's death, don't test my patience, who sent you”
Jan went silent
“Foolish” Derek said behind, Azriel watched Jan for a while
“Alright then”
His eyes switched pure black, letting his devil side take over
He stared at Jan with those soulless black eyes, Jan bled from his face
He struggled, holding his heart, all his body in excruciating pain like he was being torn apart
And worse he couldn't look away from that black eye's, it was like a force kept him glued to his tormentor
Jan opened his mouth to talk but instead cried out
Azriel already got the memo and his eye's turned back to green, releasing him
“I don't know who it was” Jan panted out
“The person was on a black cloak, it was a man but I didn't see his face, he wanted me to kill Hazel in return for the immortality pill”
Azriel already tuned him off, his suspicion confirmed
They were coming for Hazel
“Derek”
“Yes my Lord”
“You're in charge of Hazel's safety, shadow her, her life comes before yours”
Derek bowed and vanished
Azriel glanced at Jan and stood up, walking away,
“Kill him and send his body to the wolves faction”
He ignored Jan's screams and left the basement
The cool air brushed his skin like a cloth, he brought out his sketch book and looked at his sketch
It was the first life where he met hazel
Her silver hair sprawled around her as she tended to the flowers around
Looking innocent, like a little dove waiting to be snatched
His hand trembled slightly as he traced her face through the sketch
He missed her
He didn't even know how he waited three lifetimes for her.
“This time Hazel, you're mine”
