The Unknown Lycan Princess - Chapter 95: Chapter 95

Beth’s POV
I took a deep breath before I entered the interrogation room. I knew I had to keep a cool head. I can’t let my emotions get the better of me. At least not yet. I need to make sure we have all the information we can get from her. ‘Harmony, please don’t try to force yourself out. We need to know everything she knows in order to protect our pups!’ I say to my wolf before
I get to the witch who was tied to the chair.
‘Don’t worry about me, little one. I will keep hold of my anger for now. I know how important it is to get what this witch knows.’ Harmony said back to me.
As I approached the witch I released my magic and tried to penetrate her mind to find out the information I needed. However, I hit a strong block. I recoiled a little because of how dark the magic is. I can break through but I need a little time. In my mind’s eye I see the block and see the intricate knots that are keeping me from entering her mind. I decided that while I worked on undoing the block to have a seat and just stare the witch in the eyes.
As I sit here staring into the eyes of the woman who tried to kill my pup I wonder briefly if she had any remorse. She answered my question only moments later when she said, “I hope that abomination is dead. Look what he did to my face! Stupid mongrel.” I wanted to react. I really really did, but I knew my silent stare would do more than me retaliating back at her. I could hear the feral growls and snarls coming from behind me.
I know that the witch is unsettled by my silence by the way she flinches every time I tap my finger on the table. I have made it through half of the block by now. It was good work, but not good enough. I decided that I let her stew enough so I asked a simple question, “What is your name?”
“I’m not telling you anything and you can’t do anything to make me talk.” The witch said. She refuses to give us her name. I guess I will have to be a little more persuasive.
I close my eyes and take a deep breath and when I open my eyes I know they are glowing. I can feel Harmony up at the surface. She isn’t trying to break free, but she is up front in case she is needed. I appreciate her strength and encouragement. As much as we both would like to just end this miserable woman’s life I know we can’t just yet.
“That’s ok. We will just have to do this the hard way then.” I said and continued to stare at her and tapping my finger on the table. An idea popped into my mind and in a flash my ring turned into the dagger Ares gifted to me. The errant thought that I can never remember I have it when I get into a fight crossed my mind. I shook the thought away and stood up and walked around the table so that I was in front of the witch.
“Did you know that this dagger was a gift? Yes, my grandfather gave it to me. Do you know who my grandfather is?” I asked and she just shook her head no and she had confusion on her face. I was still trying to get through the rest of the block. It was proving to be more difficult than I anticipated.
I smiled and said, “Who he is is unimportant right now, but what this dagger can do. Now that’s what I think you would want to know more about.”
“Now, now, little one. I don’t think saying I am unimportant was really necessary.” Ares said as he magically popped up beside me. I had felt his aura well before he materialized so I knew he was lurking about. I also knew that giving that little barb about him being unimportant would make him show himself.
I looked at Ares and smirked, “Well I had to get your old creeper ass to come out of the shadows somehow. What better way than to attack that overly large ego of yours.”
I looked at the witch out of the corner of my eye and noticed that her eyes had gone wide. Ares’ booming laughter rang through the room and I noticed the witch relaxed a little when he laughed. “That right there is why you are my favorite. You aren’t afraid of me and you have bigger balls than all my male descendants combined. What are you doing in the dungeon anyway? Shouldn’t you be resting after that trip to the Underworld? Where are my grandbabies?”
This right here is why I wanted Ares to show himself. His reaction will either make or break this witch. We will get the information one way or another. I turned my full attention to Ares and said, “This witch was part of the crew that attacked the castle. She is the one who almost killed my baby Link.”
I watched as Ares’ whole demeanor changed. He went from happy easy going to war god in two point two seconds. The aura around him that was normally golden started to darken. His face was contorted from his rage. Before he could do anything though I asked him, “This dagger you gifted me. It has the ability to siphon the powers from someone who it slices.” I put emphasis on the siphon powers so hopefully he would catch on to what I am trying to say.
Thankfully I noticed a twinkle in his eye that let me know he caught on to what I was saying. His response confirmed it when he said, “Yes it does. What are you thinking about doing little one? Are you going to siphon away this witch’s powers by slicing her arm so she can’t harm an innocent child ever again? Or are you going to do it the way I want to and use it to chop off every digit on her hands and feet? Or my other favorite option would be to cut her tongue out so she can’t spout her vileness to anyone ever again?”
With every option Ares provided the witch’s eyes bugged out more and more and more until she finally gave in and said that she would talk. At the same time I made it through the block and snippets of memories flood my mind and I pick through them trying to find the most recent ones but all I see is darkness. No people, no places, no sound. Absolutely nothing. It is like there was nothing there for her to remember. I can’t even see when she came into the castle. The last thing I saw in this woman’s memory was of her last magical experiment which was intriguing and also alarming at the same time. I realize now that we will not get anything from this woman.
“Let’s go, everyone. She is no use to us anymore. I just made it through the block in her mind and everything is blank. She has no information for us. Keeping her alive was a waste of time.” I said.
Alexi flew through the air and grabbed the witch by the throat. He brought her up to eye level, snapping the bolts used to keep the chair in place and said, “Now that my mate has said that you have no information for us it is time for you and I to have a one on one conversation about what happens to the people who harm my family. You hurt MY child. You tried to take MY other children. You will pay for your misdeeds with pain.”
My mother
‘Beth honey. You and your mates need to get up here quickly. Link has lost control of Timber. I can’t get him to shift back and he refuses to let anyone get close to the babies. I am afraid he may hurt them by accident. Please hurry!’ linked to me.
I looked at Ethan and then Alexi and I said, “We need to go. Mom just linked me and Timber has taken over Link and he won’t let anyone near the triplets. She is worried he might hurt them by accident.” I rushed from the room and before I made it down the hallway I heard the undeniable snap of a neck. Soon Ethan and Alexi were by my side as we rushed up to our children.
My heart raced trying to figure out what happened to make Timber lose control like that. There has to be a reason. I just can’t believe that my son would do something like this without a logical reason.
