Cassie felt shocked, her small legs didn't stay put and she got up with her curious heart, "What do you mean by hostage? I have yet to know any friends after waking up and you are considering about taking me as a hostage but for whom?".
He stopped and turned back. His eyes looking at her curious, confident look and he smirked notoriously which made Cassie fell endangered.
She gulped and flinched back, eyelids raised, lips pursed and fist clenched, she was ready to use Kye's residual power left in the pendent if he does some thing wrong.
Even after going through so much because of using the pendant's power, she was still ready to use it once again while baiting on the blood the fox man have given to her.
It was stunning because of the quick change on his face and the smile soon faded away leaving his teeth grinding, "For whom, you ask me! Aren't you the one and only woman who reached so close to that vicious King of the wolves!".
Cassie lips twitched slightly as she felt disgusted by his words that seemed more like a joke.
Hah! First woman? This foolish fox doesn't even know anything yet he captured me. Does he really believe that for rescuing me, Kye will come back.
She was chuckling on his joke which made him frown and he quickly scooted toward her and while kneeling down, he grabbed her neck tightly.
It was unbearable as his fist embraced around her neck tightly, his fingernail crushing her skin and blood shooting out. Her tiny hands trying to pull out his right hand grabbing her neck, eyes becoming hazy.
Quickly he left her neck and cooled down his furious expression as he hid his fangs.
The blood falling on the ground was letting the smell surround the environment, it was spreading at a minimum speed but for sharp noses like vampires and wolves, they could smell it from far away.
The fox quickly fluttered his subtle fingers and helped the blood in disappearing with his light blue powers helping Cassie to recover her wounds on her neck.
Cassie stepped back slapping his hands away which was helping her recover her wounds around her neck. Her eyebrows furrowed and eyes glaring at him.
It was clear that he helped her in recovering her wounds that was created by his own hands because he didn't wanted others to hover around the place where they are staying because of the strong presence of the blood. Even Kye would have tracked them if left the blood alone.
The fox put his hand near his forehead in dismay and let a sigh escape his parted lips.
"I do not wish to hurt you so don't do unnecessary things," he said while being depressed and got up.
Cassie was baffled by his words as she looked into his words that felt sincere.
Closing her suspicious eyes, she took a deep relaxing breath and as she opened her eyes filled with goals, she said, "If you don't want to hurt me, then don't! I am not going to run away either in such a situation where I can't even use my powers, but let me warn you, Kye doesn't cherish me as everyone thinks and your hope might.."
"Stop!" he stopped her from saying anymore.
His feeling were clear to Cassie, he was afraid of losing his last hope which was connected to Cassie but why was that?
"What do you want from Kye in exchange of me, Mr. Fox," she asked calmly.
His eyes were closed and head turned down toward the ground, but he slowly looked at her as she asked him a question which was the real reasons for all the things he have done until now.
He looked tensed and his expression telling that he was going to utter everything without a full stop.
Cassie was fired up, too, for hearing him and her ears were all perked up but it went in vain as he turned back to leave quietly.
"How can that be!" Cassie hopped on his left leg resisting him to walk forward, "you are not allowed to leave me while I am so curious about hearing you. Come on, Fox brother just tell me quickly and who knows I might be able to help you".
The Fox man shrugged his leg but she was like a leech sticking herself to him and he sighed, "Fox brother? I am not a brother of a vampire who are vicious from there birth".
It stabbed Cassie attitude and she glared at him, "What are you bragging about? Even foxes ate human when given as sacrifice. Don't act all pure and nice, I just drink some blood but you foxes eat them like those wolves! Just because you were considered auspicious and willingly given sacrifice by humans, doesn't mean that you all are pure".
She panted after uttering so many words in one breath and fumed as he doesn't gave her any reaction.
"Not you but are you sure that other vampires doesn't eat humans!" he asked.
Her corner lips twitched and she left his leg and stood properly, "They do but what about you foxes? Humph".
He gave it a serious thought but not about eating humans but about whether he should tell Cassie about his situation or not. Whether he should believe her or not was making his mind quite tiring because the one he wanted in exchange of Cassie was very important to him.
"I don't think you can help me in any way with your tiny body," he said.
She giggled and scooted near the door while spreading her arms to block the doorway, "Who cares about this tiny figure! If I can escape The demon King son, then I can do whatever I want".
'Huh! She is quite optimistic. Even after what I did to her, she still have no fear against me' he sat on the sofa kept opposite to the bed.
She lifted her eyebrow as she grinned because now she knew that he will tell her willingly and rather then a hostage she might become his helper.
"Then let's have a chat between us beings who are special and almost extinct. As you know, I am the last seed of the noble blood vampires and you are the only fox in this present time, so let's be frank rather then suspicious," Cassie made herself home as she hoped up on the sofa beside him.
He shook her head as a faint smile left his lips. He was kind of amused by Cassie frank nature and the way she mixes up with others forgetting her own origin and others.
"Not only me, my fox mate is also alive until now!" he said with his depressed voice.
Cassie tilted her head as she whipped her head around him to stare at his depressed face, "What's wrong, Mr. Fox? Where is your Mrs. Fox? Are you perhaps…" she gritted her teeth as she tugged on the sheet of the sofa.
She understood by his depressed look that he wished to get his mate in exchange for Cassie and she doesn't felt bad for it but rather on the thought that Kye had even captured the fox mate for his selfishness.
