h4Chapter 308: Meeting With The Half One/h4

    Ignoring the panic that was swelling in her chest, Inez spoke in a low voice, "This is neither the time nor the ce to talk about this matter."

    "I think it is the right time to discuss this." Scarlet slid down the bars and sat down on the floor. Pulling the knees close to her chest, she nced at her sister. "I don’t think either of us is going to get out of this prison any time soon. So why not talk about it? At least that way we would be able to pass some time?"

    "Are you even taking this seriously?" A mouse scurried past them, escaping through the gaps of the bars. Inez’s eyes followed him, and for a few seconds, she wished she could shift into a mouse and run past these bars. But then she remembered that she had shifter restraints on her wrists; even if she could shift, the possibility of her shifting and escaping was close to none.

    "I am." Scarlet looked at her chipped nails that were now broken in a few ces due to the harsh pulling and tagging. She frowned with a look of annoyance. "However, do you think we can do anything at this moment?" She moved her hand as if pointing out the obvious situation they were trapped in. "If you have any ideas to get us out of here, then be my guest."

    Inez scowled, feeling a bit annoyed, but her annoyance was not directed at Scarlet but at herself. Why did she even go to that damned ce today? Maybe she could have gone there yesterday, or maybe tomorrow. Any other time, which might not have resulted in her getting imprisoned. She pursed her lips and said, "I don’t have any particr n at the moment, but we can always brainstorm, right?"

    "You will be lucky."

    A hoarse voice spoke from the prison beside them, and Inez quickly whipped her head to see who the person speaking to her was. Her eyes met with a shaggy man whose face was leaning against the bars of the cell. He was grinning toothily at them. His grey eyes that peeked through the matted hair were filled with amusement. "First time?"

    Inez turned her head away, not bothering with the man. However, Scarlet nced at their prison mate and stated, "We were caught in the wrong ce at the wrong time, Mister. Don’t lump us in together with you."

    "Everyone says that when they arrive here," remarked the man with a taunting grin. "Anyway, you two can try escaping from here. However, the chances are close to null—no one has ever seeded till now. How many people cry and scream their throat out, yelling that they were innocent? What happened to them? They are still trapped here. Who knows for how long?" Heughed like a maniac. He turned his head and tipped his chin at the long file of cells down the row of the corridor. "They all came before me. While some were executed, the rest had been trapped here for ages; I am speaking about more than twenty years or so."

    He then peered up at the two of them. He shook his long mane of hair to take a better look at the two sisters; his grin turned even wider. "Well, well, well. You two don’t look like someone who can kill anyone, but then again, shifters always have that innocence to them, despite being a psycho killer. Now tell me, who did you kill?"

    "We did not kill anyone," breaking her momentary silence, Inez turned and looked at the man with subtle annoyance. "It was a misunderstanding..."

    "Then pardon my rudeness; whom did you see dying?" The man corrected himself.

    "Someone I knew."

    Hearing her words, the man whistled. "You might as well get used to this ce then; there is no point in screaming."

    "What do you mean?" Inez felt her head throb; she had a feeling that whatever this man was going to say was not going to soothe her worries.

    "Ah, you silly girl. Do you even know the meaning of being brought to this ce?" the man questioned.

    When the two of them didn’t say anything, the man chortled as if they had shared some secret between themselves. "The fact that you are brought here means that you are under suspicion. And given that you have no prominent status, I don’t think that you will have someoneing to save you." He shook his head as if he wasn’t bothered by the fact that he, too, was stuck in prison.

    As soon as the man finished speaking, Inez turned to look at Scarlet. The two sisters shared a look before Inez scrambled to her feet and started yelling, "Listen to me! Is anyone there? I am Alpha Sokolov’s mate. All you need to do is call him; I am sure he will tell you about me. Just ask him—"

    "Shut the fuck up!" one of the guards who was standing outside the gates of the prison came, banging the baton that he was holding. "If you don’t quieten down, then I will skin you alive. Do you understand?"

    Inez was indeed a bit scared, but at the same time, she didn’t want to stay locked up in the prison cell. She pursed her lips and said, "You are making a mistake. We only went there out of curiosity and had done nothing wrong; we didn’t kill that woman."

    "That’s right; if we were the ones who killed her, then we would have run right the fuck away. Do you think we would have stayed behind and let you guys catch us?" chimed Scarlet.

    The man beside their cell shook his head. "Oh, you fools. You are getting yourself in trouble."

    Inez knew that she could sense that the guard was losing his temper with them. But staying cooped up in this cell was not something she could withstand. She could feel her hands going mmy and her fear doubling within her heart. If this went on—

    Inez didn’t even dare to think about it. She suppressed the terror that was rising in her heart and tightened her hold on the bars. "Can you call, Alpha Sokolov? He – he is my mate. If—"

    "Shut up." Inez had hardly spoken when the guard banged the baton on the bars, right where her fingers were. Inez winced and pulled her hands back. Just as Scarlet let out a loud ’hey’. She raised her hands to bang at the bars, but then she heard Inez groaning in pain. "Are you alright?" She asked, sounding worried.

    The guard nced at the two of them indifferently. But then his gaze fell on Inez, to whom Scarlet was talking; earlier, he was not present here, and thus, he didn’t take a good look at the two women. Now that he had, he couldn’t help but be tempted because the woman was prettier than any other woman he had ever seen. He opened the lock of the cell and stepped inside. He walked over to the two of them, and hearing the sound of footsteps, Scarlet whipped around, and Inez raised her head.

    "What are you trying to do?" Scarlet sensed that there was something wrong with the guard. She had seen that look in the eyes of many other men—especially when they saw Inez. Scarlet had lost count of how many times she had punched the shit out of a bastard who tried to tackle Inez when the two of them were in college.

    They had the same look in their eyes when they were stalking her sister.

    The guard ignored her. The audacity of the bastard. So when he tried to step past her and head close to Inez, what do you think she did? She stepped right in his path. "Step back," Scarlet growled at the guard, sensing just what the man was trying to do.

    However, her hands were restrained, and she couldn’t do much, not with her hands all tied up.

    The guard raised his head and nced at her. His gaze was full of indifference, as if he were staring at a little ant that he could crush at any moment. "It seems like you do not understand your own position, do you?" The guard’s eyes turned a horrible shade of red.

    iA vampire. /i

    Inez’s heartbeat, which had somewhat calmed down, rose right back when she realised that the man in front of her was a vampire. If this man tasted her blood, then her situation would be even more perilous.

    "I do understand my situation," said Scarlet. Just like Inez, she too sensed that their situation was no longer looking as optimistic as she had thought earlier. However, it had be even more dangerous, with the guard in front of them turning out to be a vampire or a half one. She nced at her sister, whose face had turned exceptionally pale, and covered her with her body.

    Now, Inez’s life and death were in her own fucking hands. God damn it.
