Nick was brought to an interrogation room. She sat at a long table. Opposite her sat Zane and Ryan. The prison ward stood in the corner of the room, his eagle eyes directed at Nick, observing her every movement.
It was Nick's first time meeting with Ryan Caldwell. They lived in the same city for more than a hundred years, but they had never once crossed paths. That was the huge disparity between a pure-blood vampire and a regular vampire.
"Nice to meet you, Prince," Nick greeted Ryan.
"Hmm. Likewise. I understand that you have something important to tell me."
"Indeed."
Nick's eyes flew to Zane, and then the prison ward who was standing next to Ryan like a faithful guard.
"Can we talk alone?"
"No," the prison ward quickly responded.
Zane, on the other hand, crossed his arms and turned to look at Ryan.
"Ryan? What do you say?"
"Leave us," Ryan said with an authoritative tone that tolerated no insubordination.
