Interrogation

Sorin's Pov Continued

The scream of despair echoed in the clearing, Alpha Lorenzo was struggling in his Beta's arms, mourning for his lost mate, he was devastated, Josh was having a hard time trying to control his Alpha as he too had too many injuries, but the loss of his Alpha's mate was hurting Lorenzo's entire Pack line, they would feel the loss of their Alpha's mate just a little bit but they would still feel it. I look down in my arms and see my mate knocked unconscious, he had a huge hand in all of this mess.

I pull him closer to my body, tucking his head under my chin, my body volunteering to protect him at any cost. but looking back at the devastating figure of Alpha Lorenzo, guilt makes its way into my heart at the realization of how influencing my mate was in this situation, I couldn't help but feel remorse for my Alpha, he did this, my mate helped does this, I couldn't help the though that enter my mind, I was mated to a monster.

I pull him up carrying him bridal style and move to walk away but then I noticed the rogues were trying to sneak out of there without getting caught. I growl lowly alerting other Alpha and betas signing them to kill the remaining rogues before they get away, they nodded their wold heads, but gave a strange lingering stare at the man and his state in my arms, I growled snapping at them to concentrate at the threat at hand.

I walk to my car and lay him down in the passenger seat, not trusting his actions when he wakes up. I strap him in with the seatbelt and make sure it was tight enough for him not to break out, when I was done, I couldn't help but notice how calm and innocent he looked right now, the true definition of an angel in disguise.

his beautiful long white-blonde hair was messed up, his face void of any expression, my hand moved on its own, and cherish the side of his beautiful face, his skin was smooth and plum, his cheeks bones were defined, his jaw was sharp and his lips. his lips were plump red they looked good enough to eat. I snap out of the daydream.

I take my hand off before I did something I would regret. I sit up straight on my seat and take deep breaths then start the car, I knew his punishment would be severe the moment Alpha Lorenzo gains his self conscious.

I sigh trying not to think of it. Because Alejandro was not just Lorenzo's mate he was my best friend, my only friend. taking away the culprit before he received his punishment was not right. I glance at him one last time before driving off, knowing the battle was over and the other would handle the rest, I couldn't leave my mate alone not knowing what kind of things he could stir up.

I reach the royal mansion after a long drive, my mate whose name I still don't know didn't wake up the entire ride. I turn to him and held his face gently admiring his delicate features. the urge to kiss him and take him right now was overpowering my sane mind, to mark him and keep him close.

that's when he snaps his eyes open and he pushes himself off the car seat, he tried to head-butt me but I knew he was faking it so I grabbed his head and held it in place, my fingers traced the skin of his neck and the skin felt slicker then it looked

"Are you done?" I ask holding his head and not breaking eye contact, but I think it affected me more than it did him.

he glares at me hatefully, he didn't say anything else just stared at me, waiting for me to burst into flames.

"I'm sorry to do this, but this will hurt less," I said he still looked at me with hateful eyes. I sigh and push his pressure points behind his neck. this gave me a chance to feel the back of his neck and I have never felt something so soft in my life.

I snap out of my pervy thoughts and pull him out of the car, I carry him bridal style and take him to the dungeons. he might be my mate but he did cause the greatest loss to the kingdom could handle.

Alejandro was a great friend but he was a much greater King.

"open, cell number 8," I told the guards, they look at me unsure but comply anyways. "If anyone asks about the witch, tell them to find me here," I order not looking back, as the guard closed the door.

I carry him into the best-equipped torture room in the castle and chain him to the wall. he woke up in the middle of chaining him, he doesn't say anything just stay still until I'm done chaining him, his beautiful eyes turn cold when he observed his surroundings.

"You're not going to ask me what I'm doing here?" I ask chaining his legs as well. he shrugs not caring.

"Something that hasn't already happened to me?" he asked sarcastically, he let his face lay low, his luscious hair cover the side of his hair, I couldn't hold myself back from tucking them behind his ear.

he looks at me startled by my soft gesture, I cherish the side of his face gently "you brought this upon yourself, now pay the price " I said before taping his lips, he looks at me with wide eyes.

I pat his head " Mate or not, you will pay for hurting the most important person in my life, " and stand up I felt the rage before I felt his presence.

Alpha Lorenzo walked into the torture room, he was heaving like he ran a marathon, to get back here but this was just rage. I have accepted what my mate might suffer from.

"You will pay for hurting my mate," he growled before his hands turned to claws, I standstill scared for him because it takes great power to partially shift into your wolf. "Sorin, if you can't watch this leave, " he commanded, his deep combined with his wolf's.

I shake my head negatively" just don't kill him, please " I said standing in the far corner of the torture room.

he growls before holding my mate by his throat pulling him off the ground, he ripped the tape off his mouth furiously "What did you do? I know Claudius asked you to do something with the Alpha blood, what did he do?" he asks smashing his head on the wall.

I clench my fists on my side trying to control my wolf from lashing out. this was not about me or my mate, this is about Lorenzo who lost his mate, the loss of a mate is much worst than watching your mate get beaten up, at least my mate was alive.

he kept hitting, punching, and slashing him but my mate was stubborn, he didn't let out a single peep.

by the time Lorenzo was done, there was blood everywhere, there wasn't a single patch on my mate's skin where there wasn't a wound or a scratch, his beautiful milky skin turned a dark shade of black and blue, blood poured out of his open wounds but yet he didn't say a word.

when Lorenzo turned to leave the room, he opened his mouth "why does it matter anyway, The cursed prince is dead, the ritual wouldn't work on a dead person," he mocked Lorenzo

he got punched in the face for that "just tell me what it was about" he crunched down to face my mate, he was losing his cool. if he wasn't my mate I'm sure he would have been dead by now.

"Claudius wanted the prince's power along with all the Alphas that came from the original heretics, he wanted to be the most powerful Alpha anyone has ever seen, " he mumbled, his breath came out in puffs, his body vibrated with every breath he took.

"thank you," Lorenzo said before turning to leave again, he stopped next to me and asked, "do you know his name?"

I don't look at him, my focus was completely on my mate who is on the verge of passing out.

"it's Craig," he dabbed my shoulder and then left.

I watch my mate and see the condition he was in, bruised and broken, my heart hurt. he fell unconscious hanging on the wall.

I walked to him and stood in front of him observing ' Craig, huh? suits him'
