“It’s done.” She says while eyeing all of us before closing the door of the room. Cayden smiles and that smile alone told me he was up to something.
Cayden stands up from the bed, Josey throws the lighter at him. His body was quickly covered in flames as he screams profanities left and right.
He shakes uncontrollably, screaming blue murder and suddenly, within seconds, he stops shaking. Cayden stands still as the fire dies out on his body. He was blue again, with a sinister smile on his face.
“Boo.” He says and Josey fake screams.
“Tell me that was at least painful?” Josey asks in a whiny voice.
“Uh somewhat.” Cayden says smiling at Josey.
Does anyone else feel the heat in here? Just me? What was that eye contact and the smile? I can’t be the only one!
“How did you do that?” Anthony asks, not bringing up the weird vibes between Jose and the king but Cayden ignores him. His focus was on mother who looked uneasy.
She wanted to be anywhere but here.
“I did some digging on you Josey. Right after you won against the queen, I had to know you. I knew you’d sell me a lie and boy was I right, so I had my sister chat you up. And Josey Josey, you being the chatterbox, you let it slip that you are a werewolf.” Cayden says, still looking at mother.
“I know I talk too much but I’m no chatterbox and I am a wolf, proudly so.” Josey says, folding her arms and pouting.
“Yes, you are definitely one proud wolf. You are also a vampire but yes a wolf, a saint. So much so that you had to save dear old servant girl from here. Tell me, did she arrive safely where she was going?” Cayden turns to face Josey, who quickly paled.
She takes her phone out, dialing a number and placing it on her ear.
“Jose, I was just about to call you. Your friend did not make the flight. Do you know what happened?” Cj said over the phone.
Josey looks at Cayden, fear written all over her face.
“No. Not yet but I will find out. Talk to you later Cj.” Josey says before ending the call.
“I may be the only vampire that can walk in the daylight but I have enough money to pay humans who are greedy enough to do my bidding. That scrumptious little lady you all saw is human but a lethal weapon when required to be. See, during the day, humans walk around this castle, working for me.” Cayden brags.
“What did you do to my friend?” Josey asks him and Cayden pretends to be thinking.
“I think I asked for her head, I’m not too sure.” Cayden says playfully and Josey throws a large cannon like water ball at him, causing Cayden to stumble back.
She punches him in the gut and throws him to the other side of the room where Anthony had to duck before Cayden hit the wall, leaving a crack.
Cayden stands up, coughing and holding his stomach.
“I deserved that. I deserved that.” Cayden says but Josey was fuming.
Her eyes were red and black, both her vampire and wolf present. She releases her power, causing Cayden to fall to his knees.
“I know you want to kill me but I don’t think that would be wise. See, somewhere in this castle, I have two Lycan beasts locked up and unconscious. Do the names Clayton and Chase ring a bell?” Cayden asks and Josey reels in her power.
“You. Did. What?” Josey asks through gritted teeth. Her eyes still red and black.
“Well, like I said, I did some digging and found out you have two mates. You naughty fox!” Cayden says playfully. His face gets serious as he stands up.
“I like to use this thing called leverage. When I find out my new queen is a hybrid, well I have to take some precautions like kidnapping her mates to force her in to submission. See, when I saw that you did not even break a sweat killing my queen, I was intrigued. I mean obviously that meant you would be a problem because of your strength and fighting skills but no newbie vamp should’ve been able to kill an old vampire. So I had you followed to human land, where my loyal subjects kept an eye on you before the sun came up. My human subjects had to take over and you were followed to the airport. Yes, you watched little human board the plane but what you don’t know is, just after you left, I had my subjects inject a sedative in to her and carry her out. Blame the booze!” Cayden says, enjoying this very much.
“Anyway, I also had werewolf hunters kidnap your mates but don’t worry, I asked them to be nice with your pack members. The two alphas were my priority. Now, I have a few demands that I am hoping all of you will meet, or I will have her mates killed.” Cayden says, his demeanor so relaxed.
“You are lying! My mates are back at home.” Josey says but Cayden shakes his head no.
“They are here Jose. I can feel them. Try sending them a mind link to wake them up.” I say to her. She nods her head yes closing her eyes to focus. She looks back at me and shakes her head no.
She couldn’t get through to them yet.
Cayden turns his attention back to mother.
“Shadow gave you something a few months after helping you, she said I would come to collect it. Where is it?” Cayden asks Mother.
“I lost it.” Mother says nonchalantly.
“No. You have it with you, I can sense it.” Cayden says smiling at mother. His smile not reaching his eyes.
My mother reaches in to her dress pocket and pulls out a chain. Cayden quickly snatches it out of her hand and looks at it.
