TWO DAYS EARLIER

KLAUS'S POV

I walked inside the warehouse far off the Imperial house. My shoes had gotten a tad bit muddy but I didn't feel any remorse as it was worth it. I had already ordered the group of six men or seven to be captured and put in the warehouse by one of my men.

Funniest thing was that am excited to have my hands tainted by some blood but not their blood, fact is , I won't kill them they will kill each other.

They hurt the one woman my eyes had been appeased by and the worst thing was she was being blamed as a result of my family and most importantly my father.

Inwardly, I felt guilty for being so careless for not putting an end to his drama but funny thing was that he was the one who guided me to her exact location.

When he helped, I was sure that he wanted something in return but he didn't ask but am sure as hell he would ask for something eventually.

"Which room did you take them to?" I ask one my men but spot Grey in one of the chambers drinking some wine while looking outside through the window.

As a friend I've never completely understood him but I do know one thing though, he has never felt satisfied with himself and that's exactly what holds him back a powerful person and pure blooded vampire.

Though no body knows that, it's our secret.

I walked towards him and stood right opposite him looking at the forest and am sure that he's waiting for a certain somebody to leave her father's funeral. He doesn't spare me a glance and just pushes the bottle of wine to my side and I gladly accept it.

"Her mother killed her father ,can you imagine that and on top of that, her mother lies about what actually killed him" he says letting his feet fall from the window sill.

"Why did she kill him?" I ask as I sit on the table.

"Their rules are so ridiculous and there is something about her father that piqued my interest" he looks up at me and I can see his well hidden anger, which I don't know what it's for actually.

"I know, I felt it too" that night of the attack, I felt it too.

"When?" he leans his elbows on his knees and waits for my response.

"That night my father escaped, her father had to this irritation especially towards his wife that I simply didn't understand"

The god of silence reins for some minutes ,then he frowns.

"What are you doing here you rarely come here, this is my base not yours" he grins.

"I have to handle some bastards" I whisper and stand to walk away , "you can come if you want to by the way" I suggest and am sure he'll come.

"Why not, I've not had fun for a while and am super thirsty but I can't drink from them" he stands up to follow me and pats my shoulder while his playful mood returns.

"What did they do to you anyway?" he enquires.

They hurt my woman.

But I don't say it out loud am not ready to put Aella in the spotlight. Not yet, she's too vulnerable.

"They stole from some people from the council" I lie and am sure he sees right through the lie. He's like a brother and knows me like the palm of his hand.

Not entirely though.

"It's a woman , isn't it?" he grins and continues," that's why you've been dissapearing so much lately ,who is this beauty that captured your interest?" I shrug him off and walk inside the room of six tied up men.

"Hello there our guests" Grey shouts or greets a little bit too loud but good enough for the tied up men to gasp in fear as horror covers their faces.

They recognize him, obviously, he has quite the reputation especially when it comes to harems.

"You wanna do this or should I?" Gray asks excitedly.

"Go ahead am glad to be an audience" I sit on the chair offered to me by one of the men and get comfortable, am pretty sure it's his nosey ass wanting to know who she is and what they did to her.

"Can you tell me what you did to my friend here?" he asks taking off his mouth gag.

"I.. don't..know" his voice is hoarse as a bruise covers the side of his cheek. I smile knowing that my men must have beaten them up pretty roughly.

They deserve a raise.

"Oh you don't now?" he narrows his eyes at them and sits on a stool in front of them. Am sure I don't know what he does, maybe one of his hidden abilities, but Douglas starts wincing in pain as if he is being burnt from his insides.

"We swear Master Grey, we have no idea what we did to him" he says as he looks at me with a nasty glare and am sure he'll be the last to die today especially when I see he's the one who caused the slap on her face.

The thought of someone else's hands on her make me thirst for bloodshed. Especially when I saw the imprint of the slap on her cheek I almost burst in anger.

"You've got a mouth on you, huh?" Grey asks shifting his concentration to the man who immediately flinches.

"Now tell me, what did all of you do in common this weekend?" the man's face pales and a sudden wave of realization hits him.

He knows now.

"We went to the witches house and burnt it" he says looking at Grey who Immediately disagrees.

That Aella doesn't know but I guess she guessed what would happen to her home.

"Tell me the whole truth, what did you do to a certain girl?" he swallows and looks at me and I offer a sweet smile.

Anyways, where I usually write from has a problem ,therefore the late update, so I have to write on my phone and it hurts but it's okay.
