Conquering His Cold Heart

Chapter 172

172 Free Meal

The moment Scott got the order from his commander, he instantly whooshed near that sobbing woman and grabbed her by her hair.

“Ahh!” She opened her mouth wide when her hair suddenly got jerked back.

Scott found a small tooth-like capsule on her tongue and was quick enough to bend her down and smack at the back of her head, making that tooth drop out of her mouth.

The woman immediately stretched out her arms and tried to grab that poison from the dirt. Now that it was a hundred percent sure that the vampires were going to kill her, she wanted an easy death. But luck obviously wasn’t on her side today.

Scott’s eyes were sharp and fast enough to notice what that woman was going to do. So, he dragged her away from that poison’s reach and made her kneel in front of him.

His killer instinct was back on the track again. He cackled like a psychopath and creepily hissed in that woman’s ear, “Don’t think that you can get an easy death after trying to fool vampires.”

By now, Jasper had also forcefully pulled out the poison from that man’s mouth. The fact that the spies were ready to kill themselves was enough for Jasper to know that they wouldn’t talk no matter how much they were tortured.

Thus, he decided to kill the filthy spies since they wanted to die so badly.

The King had also given them authority to kill all the intruders on sight. And Jasper didn’t want to miss out on the free meal either.

.....

So, he grabbed that delicious-looking man’s light brown hair and jerked his neck to the side. He gazed at the veins on that man’s neck that were bulging so fast that it was really tempting.

‘It would be a waste not to feed on him,’ he thought.

Jasper gave a smile and whispered to that man in his bone-chilling voice, “You wanted to meet the Thompsons, right? Let me send you right after them.”

“What are you waiting for then? Kill me already!” the young spy shouted as if he wasn’t scared of that vampire one bit.

Jasper leaned closer to that man’s neck, and whispered while smirking, “I will. Don’t worry about it. But just so you know, I will make sure to give you the most unpleasant death. You should have known better than to sneak into the Kingdom of Nightmares.”

Before digging his fangs into his meal’s neck, he ordered Scott, “What are you waiting for, Scott? Enjoy your catch before it gets bitter.”

“Thank you, commander,” Scott excitedly bowed to Jasper. He saluted his luck because getting to directly sink fangs into the humans was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for lower-ranked vampires like him.

He grabbed that petrified woman by her shoulder and tilted her head away. He then wasted no time in sinking his sharp and hungry fangs into the delicate skin of his prey.

“Aahhhhhhhh...” The woman’s scream traveled far and wide in that quiet forest as her skin and muscle got torn apart without any mercy.

Crows that had nestled down on the branches of the trees to rest for the night got startled by that shrieking scream. They flew out of the branches and started to hover above the trees while cawing loudly.

That agonizing scream of that woman felt like satisfying music to Scott’s ears. He was flying high up on cloud nine when that sweet and warm blood oozed into his mouth.

‘Mmhh... This must be what heaven feels like...’ he moaned and thought to himself as he let himself drown in ecstasy.

Feeding from the pouch or cup could never top that elating feeling of directly feeding from their prey.

Jasper also finally opened his mouth wide and sank his fangs right into the main arteries of that terrified man’s neck.

That man had thought that he could take the pain in and die a dignified death without screaming and giving satisfaction to those blood-drinking monsters.

However, the moment Jasper’s fangs pierced his veins, the pain was so unbearable that he screamed louder than the woman. “Arghhhhhhhhhhhh...”

“Get off of me!” The pain was so bad that he wanted to fight off that vampire and run away. But he was unable to even move his finger; he felt as if his whole body had been paralyzed somehow.

Still, he used all of his strength and tried his best to move his body. But he was only making it painful for himself by tiring himself out. In the end, he just accepted his fate and let that vampire suck his blood, not that he could do anything anyway.

He was slowly starting to feel lightheaded, his vision had been blurry for a while now. And the constant draining pain that he was feeling on his neck made him wish that he had bitten that poison the moment his partner gave out the name of the people they were supposed to retrieve.

“I’m never going to forgive you for today, you dumb bitch!” he screamed and cried in anguish.

That woman thankfully didn’t hear him cursing her using his last few breaths. All she could hear was her own screams.

Even though he was drowning himself in the delicious blood and was in the middle of ecstasy, Jasper could sense a few of his other soldiers rustling in the vicinity. So, he pulled out his blood-smeared fangs and shouted before diving in again, “Come out before I suck him dry. First come, first serve.”

Around five-six vampires came out of the shadows in an instant. They weren’t going to say no when their commander was being kind enough to share his meal.

They all hovered around both of the humans. Some of them grabbed the wrists of those humans, while the others eagerly waited for their turn.

The quiet and cold night near the border got a little livelier as the screams of the humans and the cawing of crows continued to travel across the forest. For those lucky few vampires, it felt like a feast accompanied by live music.

The guard who was ordered to bring Everard to the King’s chamber had been running around the dungeon, crazily searching for the Crown Prince, because the Prince wasn’t in the cell where he was supposed to be.

“Do you know where the Crown Prince is?” he stopped a few guards who were patrolling the dungeon and asked them for information.

However, the guards had just begun their shift. So, they exchanged glances with each other and replied, “Isn’t he in his cell? There on the north side?”

“No! I was there just a while ago.” That guard began running again while shouting, “The door is broken!”

“What? Really?” He heard one of them shouting, but he didn’t have time to answer them. He simply took off from there.

Likewise, he asked several other guards who he met on the way.

Some of those who knew about the escape and the whereabouts of the Crown Prince were standing guard in front of the cell that the Prince was currently in. And most of them had run off to guard the walls and gates so as not to let the Prince escape from the boundary of the castle.

So, that guard had a hard time getting information about the Prince’s current location. All he could do was go around each and every cell in the dungeon, hoping that he was still inside the dungeon and also hoping that he hadn’t gone rabid, and peeking in to see if he could find the Prince or his wolf form.

After tiringly running around for quite some time, thankfully, he found a guard who had seen the black wolf entering the other end of the dungeon.

He finally arrived at the dungeon cell that was being guarded by a few humans and werewolves. He was now sure that he had found the Crown Prince.

However, he had yet to confirm that, so he asked the guards in his breathless voice, “Is the Crown Prince in there?”
