Chapter 473-Having A Word With The Devil
The guards brought Shiloh and Jay home.
They were settled in the guesthouse, and from what I heard, Shiloh was badly wounded.
Jay had some scars, but he passed out the very first minute Huia came into view.
She didn’t want him, so she put him out for a few minutes by getting him beaten up by the men in black while she herself took care of Huia.
"Is she alright?"
I asked Reign when she walked back into the house and sighed.
As she sat down on the couch with the bowl in her lap, I understood that Shiloh was pretty badly messed up.
The bowl filled with water was all red now, as Reign had cleaned her wounds.
"She wrecked her up pretty badly," Reign mumbled.
"It didn't even seem like she was trying to take her blood.Maybe Shiloh was putting up a lot of fight, so Huta decided to go all out on her," Reign added, making me curious.
"Did Shiloh say something?" I asked, as nobody knew what exactly happened.
Shiloh refused to talk, and since she was in a bad state, nobody forced her.
"No.Actually—-she said she will only talk to you.But Beatrice---you don't have to do anything for her.She might be calling you to meet with her just so that she can annoy you some more," Reign was
quick enough to let me know I could lie low and not say anything.
"I want to go speak to her, though.She is Akin’s mate, and whatever they are planning 1s indirectly associated with Akin.I don’t want anything bad to happen to him.I won't be able to forgive or live with myself if I just sit down and do nothing.I will go see her," I said and straightened my posture, avoiding Reign’s sympathetic stare at me.
My life is not that hard.I was still able to live a decent life and have so many loved ones caring for me.
When there were others who were dealing with the worst shit.
As I left the mansion, I sped up to the guesthouse before Akins saw me and suggested against the idea.
Once I entered the small, one-story guesthouse, I found Jay trying to convince Shiloh to eat something.
"Fuck off," she grunted at him, glaring at him in the eye and slapping his hand away.
So she was already giving him hell when I arrived.
Although the door was open, I gently knocked on it to get their attention.
"Your highness," Jay said instantly, getting up from the bed to greet me with a head bow. He was honestly the kindest soul.
The poor thing was stuck with this evil person.
"Hey, how are you?" I asked Jay, watching the bandages on his forehead.
He didn't seem to have been struck too intensely, but as for Shiloh, I noticed how many wounds and injuries were covering her face.
"I am fine," he nodded again and then steadily turned over to look at Shiloh.
"Do you want to speak to her?"
He must have noticed that I was constantly looking behind him at Shiloh.
"Yeah, may I?" I asked, and he happily nodded.
"I will wait outside," he said, and he sprinted out to probably get some fresh air. I can’t imagine being in one room with this girl.
It must be so devastating to be around her all the time. But here I was, still ready to have a word with her.
"Are you in pain?" I asked, wandering around the room and looking at the decor.
There was one big room and a kitchen on the side, with one bathroom at the other end.
"Reign gave me some painkillers, so I am fine until the intoxication runs out of my system," she answered, and for the first time, she didn’t sound too mean. She was constantly staring at the door and fidgeting.
"You are safe here," I reassured her, steadily stopping by the bed.
"I am not safe anywhere," she replied, much more grumpily this time.
"Listen, I didn’t want to be mean and rude to you. I just don't get what happens to me. I have never been so bitchy and ---weird," she said, gently pressing her hand against her head, trying to sell the idea that she is not always a bad person. I didn’t want to argue with her about what she was doing. My mission was to ask her what Huia wanted from her.
"I know. We all have bad days," not labeling her as anything, I focused on creating a safe environment for us so that she could open up about her encounter with Huia.
"So Huia took your blood?" I cleared my throat and hid my eyes because I felt like she would react too aggressively.
"She did," she nodded.
"And what else? Did she say something else?" I asked since I knew Huia had a big mouth and she would not just silently get her work done."She said something about the mate feeling pain from his mate's blood. I don't know. It was odd. She was going to use my blood to control me or someone," she was looking for answers on the ground.
Her eyes were constantly wandering around, and her speech was slurred.
"Oh, I am sure Reign will find out how to --," as I tried to end the topic and let her rest, she cleared her throat and intervened.
"Congratulations.I heard Akin proposed," she smiled weakly.
"Isn't it weird that I wanted to get accepted by my mate for a very long time? But now that I think about it---- I just don’t remember anything. It is as if----I just don’t know," she murmured, then shook her head.
"Anyway, I want to rest."
And just like that, suddenly her mood changed. She raised her brow and scoffed, making me just stare at her in bewilderment.
Nothing she said made sense.
"Huh," she then let out a scoff as she stared into nothing, "I will make you see what I can do," she was talking to herself, making me wonder if it was because of the heavy dose of medication and wolfsbane in her system.
