Chapter 185: Snitching
[Annabel’s P.O.V.]
I was having my afternoon tea in my studio when I got the news that Rose, the powerful Werewolf of Chaos, had given birth to her little wolf.
I fiddled with a photo in my hand before dialing the phone number Nicholas had left me. His underling answered and I told him to tell Nicholas that I had news about the Werewolf of Chaos.
I was expecting him to appear before me immediately in his little puff of smoke. But he surprisingly took his time. I waited an entire day for him. Then another, and another.
It was not until the afternoon of the sixth day when I was dealing with my business that a puff of black smoke appeared in the middle of my office.
“Annabel.”
“Nicholas, I was expecting you earlier the moment you received my call.”
“I don’t see the need to interrupt my daily life so urgently for a mere Werewolf of Chaos.”
“Sure, since you can kill them as easily as you can kill an ant.” I agreed with him.
“So what news do you have?”
“I’ve found out who the female Werewolf of Chaos is.”
“You’d better finish everything you need to say in one breath.”
“She’s the Luna from a werewolf pack called Sunset Pack.”
“Sunset Pack?”
“Yes, that pack isn’t too far from my studio, and I’ve gotten you what you want that will make it easier for you to capture that she-wolf.” I picked up the photo on my desk and waved it at him.
“You did well, Annabel. But are you sure your information is reliable?”
“How can I joke about this? You can kill me as easily as killing an ant too.” I flashed a smile, hiding the fact that I wanted him dead too.
“Give me the photo.”
“I spent a lot of effort to get this, Nicholas. I think we can make a deal.”
“What deal?”
“I know that this Werewolf of Chaos is very important to you. But I don’t need fame and fortune. All I ask is that I give you the photo and information you want and you promise me that you won’t kill any more dark wizards. At least, not the local ones.”
Nicholas laughed loudly in front of me but I didn’t know what was so funny.
“Annabel, you’re so innocent and cute. Do you know why I killed dark wizards?”
“I don’t know and I don’t want to know. I just hope that it won’t happen again.”
“But I still want to tell you – it’s because they always behaved like you, attempting to negotiate with me just because I asked them to do something for me. Why would the dark wizards be so stupid as to think that they’re qualified to negotiate with me?”
“Nicholas, I…”
Before I could finish my sentence, he had already disappeared into the smoke. The next second, I felt someone grab me by the neck and lift me off the ground.
Then, I felt something bite the artery of my neck. I screamed and tried to struggle, but the power of the grip made my efforts futile.
Then I felt something cold injected into my blood through the sharp fangs. I knew it was the vampire toxin, and judging by the amount he was injecting me, I had no doubt that I would meet Death soon.
My body began to shake and spasm uncontrollably. My heart was beating fast and my breathing became very difficult. Soon I felt like a rag doll that had been thrown to the ground with no strength left to stand up.
I looked at Nicholas with murderous eyes, but he just looked down at me and smiled.
“Annabel, didn’t your mother teach you? Never negotiate with vampires.”
“You’ll be f*cking killed by that female werewolf and sent to hell!!”
I gritted my teeth and used my remaining strength to prop my body up. But he remained smiling at me.
“Enjoy your last moments. Also, thank you for your information, Annabel.”
I watched as he picked up the photo on my desk and disappeared into the smoke, never to return.
I lay on the ground, feeling my eyelids gradually become heavy. My life was rapidly passing, but there was nothing I could do.
Was my life going to end like this? I just hoped that the Werewolf of Chaos would kill, skin, and tear out this demon’s tendons before throwing him into the abyss of eternal damnation to destroy his soul forever.
