Chapter 57: On a hunt
"Your Highness, the attack on Princess Alora was intentional," Gabriel informed Magnus. "I found a solid evidence this time." He tilted his head back and the royal guard pushed forward a human, who begged for Magnus’s mercy.
"I’ve not even started Interrogating and you already are begging for my mercy," Magnus said as he walked to the man.
"Your Highness, I did what I was asked to do," the man said while crying and pleading to Magnus to spare him.
However, the Vampire Prince had no intention to spare this human. Magnus lifted him by wrapping his hand around his throat. "I have no intention to keep you alive. Your blood can at least satiate my hunger from the days," he pronounced.
"I’ve two young daughters at home. Please, Your Highness. Let me live. I have only provided the information about a rogue werewolf to the person, who asked me about it. Nothing more," the man said while joining his both hands.
"And who was the person who asked you about a rogue werewolf?" Magnus questioned.
"I-I don’t know. His face was not visible to me," the man replied.
Magnus caught his cheeks and forced him to look into his eyes. He went straight into the memory, where a fully masked man, asked about the rogue werewolf from the human. However, Magnus couldn’t recognize him. He could only see a weird tattoo on the back of the masked man’s back of the palm.
He finally pushed away the human, who fell to the dungeon’s floor. Catching his breath, the human caught Magnus’s legs, crying in front of him.
Magnus kicked him away, his fangs showed up as he grew angry. Because of the approaching Blood Moon, Magnus’s emotions were all over the place. It was easy to trigger him, given the fact that he was one of the rarest vampire breeds even in his family.
"How do you know the rogues?" Magnus questioned him.
