Chapter 83: Chapter 83
Because in this case, it looked like Colton already knew what was going on between them, but instead of asking anything about that, he asked about taking Tiara out.
"I made sure that no one would be able to take her pictures or recognize her."
Colton scoffed at his reply, "Really? Do you think I’m talking about humans? I’m talking about your psychopath-fated mate, Zelda."
"She is in a dungeon," Wylder responded, but the mere talk about that witch increased his heartbeat. ‘If people say that witches are wicked, then Zelda was a live example of that phrase.’
"The coven won’t release her for breaking the law of witchcraft as she used dark magic to kill my Lycan. And many other people." Wylder explained.
"I know that Coven won’t release her, but don’t forget that she is Lestat’s daughter. And the moment he would come to know that he has an evil daughter like him out there, then it wouldn’t take a second for him to free her."
"She is Lestat’s daughter?" Wylder asked in shock because he didn’t know about it. Hell, he doubted whether anyone else knew this—even Zelda didn’t know who her father was. Talking about Lestat, he had read that Lestat is a half-wizard and half-vampire and is around a millennium old. Not just that Lestat is a pain in the ass in the whole world.
He had also heard that Lestat had gathered so much power that only gods and goddesses could kill him only if they could find him because as per people's words, he had a habit of staying a step ahead as his right hand could see the future.
Wylder looked at Colton with tension. He dared not question Colton’s background check quality because he was the best.
"Do you want me to stay away from Ara?" Wylder asked. He would understand if Colton would say yes; after all, he wouldn’t want to keep his sister’s life at stake.
"I didn’t expect you to be a coward," Colton spoke coldly.
"I’m not a coward, Big Brother. But your opinion matters to me. That’s why I asked you what you wanted from me." Wylder corrected Colton before adding, "I never said that I would stay away from Ara. In fact, I would try to find a way in which neither I would have to stay away from her nor you would have to worry about your sister."
"Then find it. Find that way, Wylder, because if you fail to protect her, then I swear no one will be able to protect you from my wrath."
"Understood, Big B," Wylder said with a grin. "By the way, is that threat the signal that you’re giving your blessing to us?" He asked next, but instead of answering him, Colton jumped from the building.
"What the…" Wylder’s eyes widened, and he looked down to check whether Colton was fine or not. Only to find him. He landed on the ground gracefully and ran from there. If not for the superhuman’s eyesight, he couldn’t have seen Colton’s speed at all.
‘If he is that good at digging into anyone’s background then... does he also know about my past?' He couldn’t help but wonder. At the same time, he knew that Colton didn't have a habit of telling anyone's secret. For now, he needed to make sure of Tiara’s safety.
'Damn! Zelda is the daughter of Lestat. What was Hecate thinking while pairing me with that evil witch? That she would change into some saint?'
