However, for me it was, as usual, bad fucking timing!
“Get a message to them, use the eye if you have to.” At this my second in command answered me first with a raise of his brow in surprise, for no one was permitted to use the eye, not even him. So, to be granted access to it was soon about to call my bluff.
“The Eye of Crimson was gifted for your use only, which means it must be something very fucking important for you to grant…”
“I am well aware of my position, Šeš, I do not need a history lesson. Just use the fucking thing to get a message to them.”
“And that message would be?” His question made me sigh and I knew this was the time to bullshit through my teeth as it was too dangerous to reveal the truth. Which was why I told him,
“A witch is fucking with me and stole my favourite mortal slave.” His look said it all and his lips twitching to hold back a smile said a whole lot more.
“I was always under the assumption that you hated mortals and the females weren’t exactly to your liking for feeding from either.” I swallowed down the urge to snap that I didn’t have time for this shit and instead forced myself to play it as cold as I could physically force it to sound.
“There is always the exception to that rule and this one just so happens to fit my cock nicely. I also spent a great deal of time training her to fit my needs perfectly.”
“Who the fuck cares, just train another, after all, that is half the fun,” he said with a flick of his hand as if he were merely talking about the simple sexual use of a body to fuck. I would have growled and punched my gauntleted covered fist through the nearest wall at just the idea of replacing my girl, but thankfully I kept it somewhat calm enough to keep up the pretence.
“I don’t want to train another, what I want is to retrieve what was stolen from me and punish those who dare take what is mine!” I snapped with a bite of frustration.
“How was this mortal even transported here, by all rights she should be dead…unless there is something about this one you are not telling me…fated by the Gods perhaps?” Fuck, but I forgot how perceptive my Šeš was!
“I don’t know how, but just before I ram my fist down the bitch’s throat I will ask how she managed to send her here…in the meantime I want my slave back and I want her back fucking now!” This time I let my anger flow and hammered a fist down on one of the largest horns at the arm rest, crushing it and making the golden tip clatter to the floor and echo around the large space.
“Alright, I get the point, I will contact the McBain brothers but the Eye isn’t necessary, for my mage will contact them, as I am sure finding the only living mortal running around your realm won’t be too hard to find…that is, if she is running around in your realm?” His question caught me off guard and I couldn’t help but mutter,
“I fucking hope so.” He raised a questioning brow at this but thankfully didn’t push me into answering why it was so important to me. The truth was I didn’t know where she could be, for the Keepers had only hinted at it being in my realm as she wasn’t drawn to this place as I was. Hell, it was like he had said, as a mortal she shouldn’t even be here. But then again, if it was fated by the Gods, then being mortal wouldn’t be a factor, for the power of the Fates was everything in this world.
“You know what they will ask for in return,” he reminded me and to be honest, I couldn’t give a fuck what it cost me to get her back, I was willing to pay it tenfold!
“If she is returned back to me unharmed, then they can consider their blood vow fulfilled.”
“Are you serious?!” He snapped making me grant him a look that told him to be careful in how he spoke to me.
“Are you questioning me?” I warned. He ran a frustrated hand at the back of his neck and took a breath.
“No, I am merely asking you if a piece of mortal pussy is worth the
