Chapter 138 continue the journey, right?" I muttered through gritted teeth at the idiot King, who stared atwith his red eyes beneath his dark hood.
"Fine, but dont take too long.
I'll be waiting here, dear," for sreason, his words and the mocking smile on his face gave mea very bad feeling.
"And remember, Valeria, those collars arent just for decoration." His threat madetake several deep breaths, swallowing my hatred.
I think that after Dorian, this man had earned second place on my list of most despised peopleeven above my ex- mother-in-law.
"Con, Quinn, quickly, let's take Celine," Quinn nodded, shooting a venomous glare at the vampires backs.
If [was furious, I could only imagine how he felt.
After all, he was a powerful lycan forced to bow his head and swallow his pride.

Fortunately, I had always carried them hidden in my clothing.
He took them in his ragged hand, and his smile returned.
He seemed to be skind of hybrid or perhaps a low-ranking vampirel couldnt quite tell.
"Come, come, III take you," and so the three of us moved forward.
Quinn carried Celine in his arms; she looked awful.
We followed him down a narrow alley.
The clouds blocked the suns light, and the dampness in the air encouraged the growth of mold and moss in every dark corner.
The breeze carried the scent of rotting wood.
But amidst all that poverty, at the end of a wider street, stood a large green house with a white fence surrounding it.
It looked beautiful and imposing, a gem of emerald among coals.
The plants in the small front garden thrived with remarkable vigor and beauty, unlike the rest of the town, where everything seemed dead.
Was it really the witch who lived there? Ascene was unfolding in front of the entrance, and we becsilent witnesses.
Please save my little Henry, I beg you, save him, Madame! Hes such a good boy, he doesnt deserve to die! I'll do whatever you ask, I'll be your slave, III wash, iron, and clean your house, Tcan cook! Pll work like a mule for you!" a poor woman wailed, clinging to something in her arms.
She was facing away from us, so we couldn't see clearly.
---- Two massive men stood guard at the small white gate, blocking her path.
"Shut up already, for the Goddess' sake!!" A shrill voice startled us all, and the woman's cries immediately reduced to quiet sobs as she trembled on the ground.
An obese woman, dressed impeccably in blackher hair just as dark, streaked with a few white strandsstepped out of the house.

The disgust and fury in her green eyes were evident, as if she weren e looking at a pile of filth. "Please, Madame, have mercy! He's just a pup, its not his fault that he isnt a noble vampire.
Save him, please, you can take my life in return if you want!" the woman crawled on her knees towards her, even lowering herself to kiss the witchs black-heeled shoes. Maddidnt stop her.
Instead, she reveled in it, a smug expression spreading across her wrinkled face.
She clearly enjoyed being begged.
"Tcan lower the price by three coins, but not a single one moje! You have e to pay like everyone else. His Majesty decreed the tax.
Only if you're a pure vampire is it free," she declared mercilessly.
