Chapter 97: Chapter 97

Viona stared up at the queen in bewilderment, unable to process her ridiculous words. She not only wanted her mate to bond but also a child to fulfill her quest for powers. The queen quirked her lips up into a smile, continued with greed glazing from her eyes,

" A Tribid baby is the most powerful creature that can ever exist in history. Alaric comes from Royal Blood. If you can give birth to an heir, that child can rule over werewolves and vampires. I will pass him my witch power too. My grandson will be the most powerful creature on earth."

Viona was wordless after hearing her blabber. As a woman, she always wanted a simple, peaceful life for her child. Hence, the idea of getting strong through her child had never crossed her mind.

" NO!", Viona yelled, glaring at the queen and Rosemund who didn't stop smiling. She continued spatting through her gritted teeth,

" I will never let my child be used by anyone. Besides, I don't have feelings for Alaric. I won't give birth to any of his children."

Rosemund couldn't stand anymore. Storming forward, she gave a harsh slap on Viona's cheeks. Viona let out a painful gasp,her head tilted on the other side, blood slipped from her lips. Rosemund used all her strength to hurt her. Then, Viona heard her cold, humorless voice,

" Bitch, it's your honor that my brother would take you as his woman. How dare you say that you don't want to bear his child?"

Rosemund wanted to slap for the second time but the queen stopped her, speaking in a dramatic voice,

" Leave her, Rose! She is speaking too much because her bond is too strong with that Alpha King. After we break their bond tomorrow, she will be more like a sex slave to your brother."

Both women ended their words with a cruel laugh. Viona felt utterly disgusted by their words since she knew that what sex slave means. Earlier days in their society, men used to buy women from the market to fulfill their desire.

Viona shouted, gnashing her teeth together at them,

" You two are crazy!"

She attempted to break free from her silver chains again but it was turning more powerful. Rose spoke dramatically, watching her persistent attempts to unlock those chains from her body,

" Tsk...Poor Girl! These chains aren't going anywhere especially made of Silver. We have learnt that hybrids are allergic to Silver too. So, the more you move, it will be painful for you, Viona. Don't try to act smart because it's no longer beneficial for you. The chains will trap you here until you break your mate-bond with that Alpha King."

Viona let out a frustrated growl, wanted to summon her full hybrid sight but she realized that Rose wasn't lying about these chains. The more she moved,her body was getting deep scars like burns. She hissed in pain and saw them leaving after closing the door of prison.

Tears of frustration poured from her eyes. Damien didn't even try to look for her once. Was he really going to abandon her just like this?

Viona kept mumbling through her sobs and cries,

" I am sorry, Damien! I am so sorry! I shouldn't have lied to you..I love you..."

Viona didn't know whether she would be able to escape or not tomorrow. One thing, she was sure of that. If she didn't manage to escape, Damien and her won't be any future anymore.

" What??", Damien shouted, standing on his feet to rush over Celeb. The next morning came with the news of Viona's missing. Although, some claimed that Viona had fled away from the councilmen to avoid punishment, Damien wasn't convinced with the news. He believed that Viona was going to wait for him today.

Celeb replied, panting as he ran over here as soon as he got the news,

" Yes! The guards said that someone had kidnapped her from them before putting her into the dungeon."

Damien bit his lips hard, eyes narrowing dangerously in concern. After a while, he opened their mind link to communicate but it was blank, empty as if they had no connection left.

" Impossible!", Damien muttered, growing tense when he failed to detect Viona through their danger.

Is she in danger?

As the assumption crossed his mind, Damien didn't wait for a second. He shouted at Celeb who couldn't understand what to do,

" Pull out the car on the road. We are leaving in minutes."

" I thought, you don't believe in my speculations!", Agatha commented dryly, offering the couch to Damien who looked like he had a marathon race.

Damien wasn't bothered to sit down and talk properly. He spat everything in a breath,

" Viona has been taken away by the council. She has proven to be a hybrid. But now, she was kidnapped from there again by some third party. I am trying to communicate with her through our mate bond but it's not working. It seems like she can't hear me."

Agatha's face turned pale in tension. Gesturing at the couch, she spoke calmly, dragging a bowl near her,

" Sit first, Alpha! This is bad. Viona isn't a girl to be easily abducted. Her powers are enough to destroy an Alpha or vampire easily. Now, if you can't connect with her, she must be somewhere that your bond doesn't work."

Damien muttered, his heart beating fast in tension,

" I don't.. understand... what do you mean?"

Agatha bit her plump lips nervously. Although, she didn't dig out the truth yet, Agatha was assuming something. She was fearing this outcome for a long time. But Agatha didn't tell Damien anything. Letting out a long sigh, she mumbled, putting her attention on the bowl completely,

" Let me figure it out first! Then, we can talk about the rest."

Agatha started her witch ritual, trying to imagine Viona's face in order to detect her current situation. As a white witch, Agatha was blessed with multiple powers. After one attempt when she couldn't get any results, she used all her force and connection to look into Viona's situation. Within a few seconds, the bowl of water started boiling without any heat or other materials, stealing amusing glances from Damien who didn't see witch or their spells before.

After a while, Agatha got a few blurry visions, Viona's crying, her blood stained body, and chains around her. Agatha gasped, slipping the bowl from her hand as it rolled down on the floor. Her eyes turned wide in horror, scaring Damien more who kept asking,

" Agatha..say something.. What did you see? Where is Viona?"

Agatha swallowed hard thickly and muttered through her tears,

" This is bad, Alpha. Viona is taken away by her second mate, a vampire, Alaric the prince. His family is keeping her hostage. They have put her in prison and probably, they are going to break your bond with her too."

" Second mate?", Damien shouted, getting on his feet almost instantly. His face turned grim in the thought of giving someone else.

Agatha resonated, trying to put convincing words in front of Damien so that he doesn't lose his temper,

" Alpha, she comes from hybrid blood. Obviously, she is supposed to get two mates for her both creatures side. It's not time to get jealous or angry on her. Viona is in danger. I know that the vampire queen and her daughter belongs to witch dynasty. They won't be easy on her definitely. "

Damien swore, raking his fingers through his curls frustratingly,

"I am going to kill all of them, Agatha. Do you want to come with me?"

Agatha sighed, biting her lips guiltily,

" I am afraid that I can't, Alpha. Our existence is hidden from society. If I appear in front of the vampire queen, they will surely lock me up to fulfill their commands. They are evil and can do anything to get their motives done. I can't put everyone's life at risk, Alpha."

Damien understood her hesitations and thanked sincerely before leaving,

" I can understand, Agatha. I appreciate your help already. I will rescue her on my own."

Later, when the evening fell around the castle, Viona was dragged out from the prison by multiple guards. The chains were still there. So, she couldn't do anything to fight back. No one said where they were taking her until she saw a back garden behind the castle, Rosemund and the queen waiting for her. Her eyes dropped to see a painted black circle, candles circling around the space. She assumed that they were going to perform some kind of ritual.

Viona barked, too impatient to know about their motives again,

" What the fuck is all these?"

At that time, a familiar voice interrupted from her back, freezing her in shock,

" The ritual is for you to reject the bond with your Alpha mate, Viona."
