Oh to be a fox
With Harlen gone, it left Cassar and I alone as we stood in the dark chamber.
Cassar looked at me with a question in his eyes.
âHeâs going to die anyways. He might as well be useful before he does.â I shrugged, explaining further. âAll he will do is run back to the Fox Council, theyâll find out he tattled on them, then they will kill him. When they find out I stopped you from killing him and let him go, they will think I sympathize with them. Then they will underestimate my hatred for them causing them to slip. Itâs simple.â
Cass gave me a baffled irritated look. âThatâs not simple.â
âSorry. To any creature with an average intelligence level, itâs simple.â I pointed out sarcastically.
Cassar narrowed his eyes. His sharp jaw twitching. âThis may shock you, but your jokes are not that funny.â
âWho says Iâm joking?â I teased
He gave me a flat look.
I flipped my hair over my shoulder. âMama always told me to be clever as the devil, but twice as pretty.â
âAnd three times as arrogant.â Cassar mumbled.
I laughed, âDonât be jealous.â
Cassar ignored my comment as I made a move to walk out of the cell covered in blood. His voice had me stopping in my tracts.
He was tense. His body rigid. His hands clenching and unclenching. His eyes scanning the room, refusing to look at me. He was trying to be causal but he had never been a good actor.
I raised a brow.
His words were too tight. âWhat did you mean when you said you lasted longer than him?â
I smirked. âExactly what I said. Iâve been tortured so many times, I know how to do it well. And I donât feel bad about it.â
âWho.â His words were so tense it was not a question. His fists clenched tightly.
I snorted. âMore like who hasnât.â
âIâll kill them.â
I chuckled. âDonât worry Cass, most of them are already dead. The rest will be.â
âWith aconite?â His voice jagged.
It made me pause. I turned around to look him in the eyes.
It was funny how all it took was a look to know what a person had gone through. The same look I had whenever aconite was mentioned.
The shadow of pain but the confidence of overcoming it.
Cassar killed without a second thought. He could shatter bones. He ended lives. He was a powerful wolf. But aconite was kryptonite. And Cassar had felt the effect personally.
I titled my head up to look at him, a new fire burned in my veins. âWho used it on you?â
Cassar smirked, noticing my reaction. âIt was a long time ago.â
I placed a hand on my hip. âThatâs not what I asked.â
âThey called my father the insane alpha for a reason.â
âTo his own son?â I said through clenched teeth.
Cassar shrugged. âHe was training me.â
âThatâs not training. Thatâs torture.â I spit.
He smirked down at me. âCareful Vienna. I might think you actually care.â
I gagged, stepping past him. âEven you arenât that stupid.â
A glint lit up his brown eyes, an annoying grin spread across his face.
