The guard with the whip froze when he heard my voice. And not only that, but the chants around us ceased. All the guards turned to face , stunned when their eyes landed on .
Mr Kim slowly turned his head to look at . Scared blue eyes locked with mine. He looked like the shell of the man I t back in Dark Moon — broken beyond recognition.
"You are not supposed to be here, Oga," one of the guards said to , as the other one raised his whip to continue from where he stopped, having concluded that my orders didn’t matter.
"And where am I supposed to be in, pray to tell?" I narrowed my eyes at him, challenging him with that mad glint in them. "Let him go," I instructed.
"This was an order from the prince."
"Which one?"
"Prince Storm," he said, looking as if he expected to take to my heels at the sound of the man I’m living with.
"All the more reason to let him go," I folded my arms. "As the lover of your prince, I am entitled to give you orders, aren’t I?" I gave the man a once over, sizing him up in case he decided to solve everything with his fist.
I’m ready to give him a kick or two in the stomach if push cos to shove.
He laughed, cackling like a damned hyena, "and who the hell are you to give orders?" He narrowed his eyes at , "you are nothing but a boy toy whom the prince will toss to a side when he’s through with you," he mocked, causing the others to join him.
I tried not to look affected by his words, though I felt this urge to punch him in the face, to show him how strong a boy toy can be.
Instead of doing that, I folded my arms with my brow raised at him, "at least a boy toy who is held in high esteem by the monarchs of this kingdom can give you orders!" I countered, not ready to let these dogs mock .
They all broke out into laughter, giving expressions of pity as they continued to laugh my words to scorn.
"It’s a pity you don’t know your stand in this place," the guard, who was whipping Mr Kim, took a step towards , trying to bully with his large fra, but I stood my ground, with my arms folded, not ready to let him intimidate .
"Oh, and you know my stand?" I pursed my lips, still challenging him.
He broke out into a peal of uncontrollable laughter as his eyes took in from head to toe, "I can see why the prince is enamoured by you to the extent of keeping you past the first night. You must be as good in bed as you are feisty."
"Shut the hell up!" I gritted my teeth at him, still keeping my anger in check despite the insult.
"Oh, the slut is tell—"
And that was my yield level. Before he knew what was coming his way, I punched him hard on his jaw, sending him crashing to the ground.
Stunned, the other guards watched us as the man rose from the ground. He wiped the blood off his mouth as his dark eyes narrowed to a slit, "you dare punch , slut. Courting death are we?"
He ran towards , trying to punch in the face, but I was ready for him. I bent, missing the punch as I turned and kicked his back, sending him crashing to the ground once more.
He rose from the ground and charged towards . This ti I didn’t let him get to , I quickly ran towards him and punched him hard in his face until I heard the snap of his bones.
The mont the man fell to the ground, it seed like the other guards who had been watching us with rapt attention not too long ago, were woken from their dazed land.
They charged towards as one, causing Mr Kim to yell out for . With a satisfied smile on my face, I t the n midrun, kicking, punching and breaking. Their cries grew louder as I went through them, so fast for them to register my actions.
I backflipped, kicking so with my legs, until all the guards fell on the ground, groaning.
I backflipped once more before I stood on my feet with a smirk on my face, watching the n on the ground as they moaned.
"This will show you never to underestimate a boy toy," I strode towards their leader — the man with a whip.
He was barely getting by because of his broken nose and jaw. Though he’s an Alpha, it will take him longer to heal.
"Tell , do you still want in your bed?" I placed my booted right foot on his dick, which was covered with a loincloth as his wrapper was discarded during our fight.
"No!" He scread when I pressed, but not too hard.
I know the man is a douche, but that doesn’t an I can be one too. I still have enough feelings to know that he’s a young man, who will soday have a family of his own.
"Answer , then, do you still want in your bed?" I smirked at the expression of fear on his face. Gone is the smug man, who thinks he can do anything he wishes and say whatever the hell he wishes, just because he can.
"No! I don’t want you again!"
He cried out when I removed my feet from his loin, only to place it on his broken left foot. I pressed hard on it, and he cried out, shedding tears like a baby.
The fear in his eyes when I leaned down was prominent. It’s almost the sa as the one that’s always in the maids’ eyes whenever you speak of Storm.
I guess we are almost on the sa level, with him being a psychotic killer while I’m a justifiable punisher. Isn’t that just wonderful?
I left the groaning n, and turned, expecting to see Mr Kim on the ground where he was before I started the fight, but he wasn’t. From the footprints on the ground, it wasn’t difficult for to know that the damned man had escaped.
Fuck!
I took off in the direction he ran through, using my vampire speed, so I could catch up with him before he escaped. It was never in my plans to let him go. I just needed to know if, like the others, his character changed. And should that be the case, I will just put him on 24-hour surveillance so that what happened in Dark Moon won’t repeat itself.
It didn’t take long to catch the deserter. He was halfway across the outer garden when I caught up with him.
A shriek left him the mont I wrapped my hands around his waist.
"Hey, stop thrashing!" I commanded as I removed my hands from around him, dropping him to the floor.
With a shiver, he tucked his legs under his bony fra, shaking with fear as his eyes locked with mine.
"Please," he whispered in a scared tone.
Up close, I was able to note the difference between the person I t at Dark Moon. This one here looks younger.
"How old are you?" I gave him a once over, taking in his shivering bony body.
"S...sev...even.... seventeen!" He managed to stutter out, looking as if I might bite his head off should he not answer my question.
"Seventeen?" I gaped at the young boy in front of . So, this was how Mr Kim was when he was young? Was this exactly how he was before he turned dark?
Did sothing similar happen to him that made him change? Will the sa happen to him?
I gave him a once over, and not for the first ti, I wondered if he was pretending. What if he is?
I squatted in front of him, causing him to curl into a scared ball. He closed his eyes tight, shivering like a scared bunny.
"Where did you co from? Who are you?" I gently asked, trying not to scare him. "It’s okay, I won’t hurt you. I have defeated the n who are out to harm you," I was gentle with him, knowing how fragile he was.
With his body still shaking in fright, he slowly opened his eyes to look at . Scared blue eyes locked with mine, "I’m... I’m ... I ... I’m..."
"It’s okay, take a deep breath before you answer," I placed my hand on his leg, but that seed to increase his anxiety.
He yelped out in pain and curled his toes.
"Sorry!" I instantly removed my hand from his leg, and he cald down. "I’m sorry about that," I sighed, knowing I still have a long way with him.
