Chapter 101
‘Think Juno, think,’ Juno thought and returned to his memories, searching for any clue on how to get out of this situation.
JUNO’S FLASHBACK
By the time they arrived at the castle, the day walkers were already asleep.
“It is important. I am sure they won't mind being woken up,” Prince Juno said.
“Trust me, you don’t wake them up for anything,” Shysie said, coming out of nowhere, wondering what was so urgent, suspecting it had something to do with Princess Jovita.
‘Well, they don’t seem to recognize me, so perhaps it is something else,’ Shysie thought to herself.
“Perhaps the Vampire King could be of help?” Shysie suggested.
“That might actually be a good idea, as it is your kind. We are seeking help against,” Prince Juno started to explain.
“My kind?” Shysie interrupted, knowing what he was about to say, but played dumb.
“A nest of vampires and hybrids has abducted Princess Jovita and a few other lycans. Most likely Prince Mano as well,” Prince Juno explained.
“What? How do you know this?” Shysie asked, pretending to be in disbelieving.
“I saw it through her eyes and so did her twin sister,” Prince Juno pointed out.
“Oh, you are not Princess Jovita. You two look exactly the same,” Shysie said, talking to Princess Jenny.
“It is urgent, so please will you let the vampire king know that we are here?” Princess Jenny pleaded.
“Follow the hallway right to the end. I will go get King Torvald right away,” Shysie said, speeding off.
‘Shysie?,’ Juno thought, snapping out of his memories, wondering if he will be able to share his thoughts with Deacon.
‘Deacon, can you hear me?’ Juno tried to mind link Deacon but got no response. ‘How did Jessica manage to mind link Jovita? Geuss, Torvald gave her permission.’
BACK AT THE HIGHER COUNCIL.
Shysie was stressed to her core, wondering if they will catch Torvald and realize her involvement with him and Jessica’s previous disappearance.
‘No, how could they? They have not found me out for the past century, so how will they now?’ Shysie thought, trying to calm her nerves.
SHYSIE’S FLASHBACK
“Don’t you see enough of me?” King Torvald asked Shysie when she walked into his bedroom.
“We have a slight problem. Princess Jovita’s sister is here with Prince Juno, her aunt, uncle, and some other guy; he looks like a shaman,” Shysie informed King Torvald.
“Why do they want to see me?” King Torvald asked.
“Well, um, earlier tonight, before we left the compound, Princess Jovita was acting strange, looking around. We told her to close her eyes and never open them again,” Shysie explained, but King Torvald interrupted her.
“You only tell me this now? She obviously showed them that she was in danger. I wonder how long they have been looking through her eyes,” King Torvald asked, slightly panicked.
“I don’t think long as they didn’t recognize me,” Shysie reassured him.
“Where are they now?” King Torvald asked, making his way out of his bedroom.
“On their way to our private throne room,” Shysie said, following King Torvald.
“Good evening,” King Torvald greeted, walking into the throne room.
After hearing them out, he calmed them down. “We will find her, and every last vampire and Hybrid will be punished.”
King Torvald signaled a few of his vampires to come closer before speaking softly to them.
“Princess Jenny looked at the bold head vampire and tried to think back to one of the vampires she saw through her twin’s eyes.
“You all should get some rest. I will leave with my army now. When the royal lycans wake up, you should explain to them what happened,” King Torvald said.
“I will come with you,” Prince Juno said.
“It is not safe. You, amongst vampires, I am not sure I will be able to save your princess and keep you safe,” King Torvald said before speeding off, not giving Prince Juno a chance to object.
“Screw this,” Prince Juno said, making his way out of the castle and towards his car.
King Torvald sped to his room with Shysie.
“Go to the she-wolves at my compound and take them to the south of the border, and compel them all to never open their eyes ever again,” King Torvald said, giving Shysie another location.
“On it,” Shysie says.
“Take princess Jovita and tie her to a tree just off the compound so that her memory will wipe clean,” King Torvald ordered.
“Why? Is it not best to take her with us?” Shysie dared to question.
“She is about to ovulate. I will be the one to save her and make her my wife,” King Torvald said before speeding off.
“Why do you look so stressed?” Michael’s voice jerked Shysie around and out of her thoughts.
“What? Me? I am just worried about Jessica,” Shysie lied.
“What do you know?” Michael questioned.
“What do you mean?” Shysie played innocent.
“Stop bull-shiting. What do you know?” Michael hissed.
“Why do you care? You should be happy. Arent you tired of the lycans always bossing us around?” Shysie spat.
“I knew it! Out with it,” Michael exclaimed, letting go of her.
“I don’t know what you are talking about,” Shysie continued to deny.
“For fucksakes! I am your king, not him!” Michael yelled at her.
“Make me your queen if you want me to jump ship,” Shysie offered to betray Torvald.
“So while all this shit is going on you expect me to marry you and declare you Queen? Are you mad?” Micheal questioned in disbelief.
“Promise that you will make me your queen when I hand Torvald over to you on a silver platter,” Shysie said, wondering how desperate Michael was to prove himself as a worthy vampire king.
***
Jovita watched as Torvald slipped his hand around Jessica’s waist from behind and pulled her against his naked body.
“Please, I beg of you, stop,” Jovita cried, looking at Jessica that was standing in silence. Jessica refused to cry, realizing that it turned him on.
“She is much more stubborn than you,” Torvald said. “Not a drop of tear,” Torvald said before violently sinking his teeth into Jessica’s neck.
‘This time my plan will not fail,’ Torvald thought while drinking on Jessica.
TORVALD’S FLASHBACK
King Torvald went to collect the Romani gypsy enchantress on his way to the compound.
“After I save her, you will put a spell on her that will make her want to be with only me,” King Torvald ordered the enchantress.
“Your debt to me is piling up,” the enchantress said, rubbing her belly, hinting that she expects King Torvald’s child to be growing in her belly real soon.
“Obviously my semen does not agree with you. What about a werewolf? I have a werewolf prince for you,” King Torvald said.
“A lycan prince? I will take him and waver your debt to me,” the enchantress said, smiling sweetly.
“He is being kept in the basement, compelled to obey but I would get him out of here before daylight and before the lycan royals will learn that their beloved prince is in danger,” King Torvald suggested.
The enchantress does her magic over Princess Jovita that was still tied to a tree.
END OF FLASHBACK
Torvald steadied Jessica whose knees buckled from the loss of blood. “Don’t worry my little wolf, she is way too stubborn for me,” Torvald said and dropped Jessica on the bed.
“Come,” he said and held his hand out to Jovita.
Jovita was desperate to get Torvald away from Jessica and quickly took his hand.
