Slave To The Darkness 222 222

"I-I… I was hoping to ask you why you killed my husband that was unfaithful to me." Susan was struggling to say the words and her body was shaking as Yuki was interrogating her.

Cedric kissed Yuki from behind and left a hickey on her neck. "That man was going to try and dethorne my bride. Do you think that we would let that happen?"

"As Cedric said he was planning on dethroning me and I was not going to go down without a fight. Nothing can be done about a succession fight between the royals. It is quite common. I have the right to protect what is mine." Yuki reached a hand out and saw that Susan flinched away.

Cedric let her go and looked at Susan. "Listen there is not a chance that you will make it off this s.h.i.+p alive. You have been feeding Yuki fear and that makes you the perfect target for an attack. You are not worthy of being left alive as you will come after her when you clear your mind.

Yuki ran her finger up Susan's arm and watched as she flinched and tried to get away. "No please don't do this to me. I promise that I will help you out. I do not want to die."

"Oh, but you liked the idea of coming here to kill me and that is why you were using Car9ol. You were hoping that I would kill her and she would kill me that way you could take everyone's spot. Do you think that I wouldn't figure it out? I am not stupid. There is a reason you let her stay with Gerald and it wasn't because he loved her."

"Tch, you are too smart for your own good, you know that? If I had gotten my way I would've killed all of them but I want to know how you figured it out." Susan sneers and looks at the ash that was blowing away.

"How did I figure it out? That is not something that I will disclose with you. I will say this since you are not tied to the royal family you would never be in line and I will make sure that you have no hold on this world ever again." Yuki steps forward as the lady tries to be smart and jump.

Lyla jumps out for the door and catches Susan off guard. She pins the lady to the ground and holds her there.

"Thank you, Lyla. Keep her there for a moment." Yuki goes to the water and dips a cloth in it then walks to Susan and starts to wipe down her body. She uncovers the scars of the past and traces over them. "No wonder I could smell makeup on you."

Cedric pulls Yuki to himself and covers her eyes, "If you force yourself to remember I will have no choice but to put you to sleep right now and you know I have the power to do this." He nips at the top of her ear waiting for a reply.

"Ahhhh, Cedric. I know I will not force it but is it okay to kill her if she is not a vampire so what is she?" Yuki whispers back to him so that only he and Lyla could hear.

Cedric puts his lips to her ear, "A witch. You can kill her fast or slow; it doesn't bother me." He runs his hands up her body.

"Ah, that explains it." Yuki stayed in Cedric's embrace and let him run his hands over her body. She turns her head slightly and looks at the playfulness in his eyes. "Is there something that you want to do?"

"You know how to read me so well. I was thinking that the full moon is upon us and the wolves have a newly changed werewolf." Cedric starts this.

Lyla looks at the two slightly confused as she knew the two wolves on the s.h.i.+p now but neither seemed to be newly changed. She looks at the two confused.

Sephira steps up and looks at Cedric. "Are you offering her as a target for my first s.h.i.+ft?"

Yuki looks from Sephira to Susan then claps her hands. "I like that. Sephira will you accept the gift that is being presented to you and will you take care of the witch for me?"

"Yes, your majesty. I will do that for you. I will graciously accept your gift." Sephira bows and feels the fear coming from Susan. "Mmmmmm, the fear is adequate. I wonder what it will feel like on the day of the s.h.i.+ft?"

Claude came out and saw Susan. "Claude, please you need to stop them. They're going crazy and are offering me up t a mutt to kill me."

Claude steps out to her and grabs her by the throat. "I would watch your mouth. That is my mate and if you say anything else about her then you will not see the light of day." He turns to Yuki and Cedric. "I will place this one in the holding cell. Then come back down for breakfast." He carries Susan away.

Sephira looks at Lyla, "You are mistaken about me. I have not been a werewolf all that long. I was changed so that the baby growing inside me wouldn't kill me. It was an unplanned change. The reason I am so good at killing is because I am an a.s.sa.s.sin by trade."

Lyla was sitting on the ground. "Oh, I see. So that means you are a young wolf but that will not change how I address you. You are still above me in anarchy. Will you two create a clan?"

"Create a clan? I do not know." Sephira looks over at Yuki for some help.

"Creating a werewolf clan might not be a bad idea. I will approve of this. Claude is a part of royalty and Cedric is the last of his clan for the most part. Dear do you think it is possible for there to be two Okami Clans?" Yuki looked over her shoulder at Cedric who was just listening.
