Chapter 29: Happy, Sad or Lucky?
[TAMIKO]
"You can't stop me f—" Tamiko began but Sadako just sighed before interrupting the kid.
He had been studying Tamiko and there was something in Tamiko's eyes, something that got Sadako intrigued and angry at the same time. A sudden haunting realization stared right at Sadako and the Lord considered his options.
"Let him leave," Sadako began, making his warriors look at him with skeptical eyes. It wasn't daily that anyone who Sadako had set his eyes on, left freely without a long and hard interrogation.
And this kid right here was the blazing red flag of the lycan community.
They knew Tamiko wasn't from Kawai, and they had questions for him. Sadako knew that too.
"Well, that's new. I thought you'd be d—" Tamiko said and Sadako raised a curious brow, making Tamiko hold back the remainder of his words. He wasn't sure they were words that a lycan Lord would ever be pleased to hear.
It was all a little too crazy and if there was something Tamiko had grown up learning about those in power, was that the powerful could easily destroy and get away with it.
And a lycan lord known to be the closest confidant of the dark and dangerous king Zaffuto was the warning Tamiko needed to shut up.
"Dragging you with us back to a place you've never set foot into?" Sadako added with a laugh, and Tamiko felt stiff. He was in trouble, and instinctively, he looked around them for the easiest way out of this.
Thinking back to the distance they had walked from the time he came out of the woods to the moment he had walked into the house at the borders, Tamiko knew he was fucked.
