Chapter 219: His spy
[Everyone’s anxious. They’re all talking about Marcus’s message and why you even have to send back the woman unscathed...] Aspen telepathically opened with Nathan as they walked through the hallway going towards Boris’s room. [I’m sure they’ll send Lyne and the Princess back to Marcus just to get Crissa and Cole home alive and safe,] he added. [We’ll have to send her back-]
Before Aspen could even finish his thought, however, Nathan suddenly growled. Immediately, the former stopped, knowing that it had been a growl telling him to stop talking. He kept his quiet as Nathan sighed while shaking his head beside him. He could already tell that there was no way his King would ever send Raine back into enemy territory. But then, how could he save the two kids without doing such a thing in the first place?
Already, Aspen was restless just at the thought of Crissa staying within the Moon Clan compound for far too long. He had to do something, but what...
Not a moment sooner, he and Nathan entered Boris’s room of confinement, the latter’s face instantly souring upon seeing Nathan enter.
"So... How long do you plan on keeping us here?" Boris wryly scorned. He was already annoyed at the fact that they took him away from Lyne and confined him in some random room away from her. Ah... It was the reason why he felt so lonely in the first place, having no choice but to wait for death, knowing full well that there was no way he could escape death should Nathan’s plan not succeed.
"Are you ready?" Nathan asked.
"What do you think?" Boris sarcastically scoffed. "Of course I am... I’ve already practiced my dialogue to hell and back! You won’t find any loopholes in my script, so you better keep your promise to keep me alive," he mumbled out with a pout, not unlike a petty child forced to go along with his parents.
Hearing him, Nathan smiled and nodded, "Then let’s go and show me what you’ve got. You better convince them that you’re the spy I sent deep into the Moon Clan Territory."
At the King’s word, Boris stood up from his seat and obediently followed behind the man with Aspen walking beside him. Looking back, Nathan’s revised story was somehow convincing enough to keep his head intact, but he wasn’t sure if Danos would even buy it. After all, he did deliberately refuse to stop attacking the prick during their fight. Then again Nathan reassured him that they could easily justify his actions by framing it as him protecting his mate, Lyne, alongside his established hidden grudge against Danos for kicking him out of the society. On paper, ’his’ contributions towards providing Nathan important intel regarding the Moon Clan Territory should be just enough for him to be acknowledged as being back under their King’s wing and pack...
Of course, Boris also memorized everything that Nathan told him to. He still had to prove that he was really the King’s spy hell-bent on restoring his honor and showing repentance in order to be accepted back into the Convel Society, after all. Either way, it was still a better option than being decapitated by Danos.
