The first step outside the office lead me straight to Czar's room. My feet got me there quickly, before I knocked on his door.
Thankfully, Zalia answered because I could use some girl talk.
"May I come in?"
"Everything okay Harlow, you are pale?" Zalia studies me while I move inside.
"We have to meet King Cohen downstairs in five minutes to go to the dungeons. I want you and Czar with me."
Zalia's faace bunches up, "That can't be the reason though. Were there more pressing manners?"
I shake my head, right when Czar walks in.
"You look ashen." He looks to me the same Zalia had.
"King Cohen is my mate." Not being one for blurting out shocks me some.
"That is marvelous!" Zalia comes out of the shock first, bouncing up and down.
"You have always amazed me in our lives, Harlow. I know you would need a strong mate and I am positive he is one." Czar nods, smiling as he wraps his arms around Zalia.
"We have to go meet them. First thing is to try and get something from the rogues. I will catch you up on the way down. Maybe tonight, I can speak with Cohen though, he didn't acknowledge we are mates in front of his advisor."
"It would be the best thing by talking. Much can be found out in the manner." Czar nods.
We walk out of the room and I let the Queen part of me push the being mates to the Dragon King aside. It was a quick manner in getting Czar up to speed on what I currently know from the brief meeting.
Once we reach the bottom, I made quick with the introductions for Czar, Zalia, and Cohen. Then the entire walk to the dungeon I kept wanting to feel his touch again. Those sparks seem to be addicting and Chantria is not helping in the matter.
It barely registers when he asked which way I wanted to go first. For me it was simple, the first needs to be the unstable rogue that way we can get answers and dispatch of him. The longer an unstable is left more damage could be caused. That is if he is actually unstable or just hiding something the others were going to spill.
I follow next to Cohen until we are at a cell not far from the end of the hall. The smell is burning my nasal cavity, as it has not been touched as promised.
Giving a look at the cell, there is a few bodies land on the ground. Obvious reason of deaths look to be claw marks made by a wolf and the amount of damage made were fatal wounds.
It makes me anger with the fact rogues hold only little ties to me that I don't feel when they are killed. If it was a large amount at once, then I would be capable of telling. Rogues tend to let their spirits control them moreso and it breaks the ties to me because they are not one together.
There is not but a single man standing in the middle of the cells. He stares me down, and I release my aura to where he knows exactly who I am.
The simple act makes many of the wolves around start to faulter and drop to their knees. Czar and Zalia have troubles standing upright from the power I release. As I normally keep it contained within myself.
May seem uncanny but it should seem that Malik is having issues standing up straight as well.
"Ah, the Queen bee is here where the fireballs put a common rogue." The man laughs manically.
"You attacked the dragons. You do realize this correct?" I let Chantria come out some so our command is stronger.
The man drops to his knees, but shrugs his shoulders. A disrepectful act that drives me to anger.
"That is not an answer. Did you or did you not know you done this?"
"I knew. What is it to you? They aren't wolves." The guy starts to shift.
"Do NOT shift!" I command and watch as he is forced to stop mid-way.
"Now, I wish to know why you attacked innocent dragons and why you slaughtered your fellow wolves."
"Might just kill me now. I done it because I felt it was warranted. They are fun to play with." He sneers behind his canines.
Cohen lets out a growl of his own with what this rogue said. I put my hand out to stop him once he moved an inch towards the cell.
With a shake of my head he stopped moving. This can't be easy for him to hear, but I don't believe that is the true answer.
I turn to look at Czar. "We need to get him out to where he can't harm anyone else. Shackle him with silver so he can't contact with his wolf spirit. Once he is weakened we may get a true response. This is not the answer of truth."
Czar nods and Malik steps up.
"We can get more guards to help with getting him into the shackles." Malik offers.
"No need, thank you though." I give him a nod, before turning back to the cells.
"Don't you dare!" The rogue growls.
"Sleep now." My voice comes out calm as the command seeps out.
The rogue tries to fight, but within seconds drops to the ground harsh. Malik steps up to unlock the door, and Czar walks in to check the rogue.
"He is asleep." Czar confirms that it wasn't a trick, even though it would have been hard to fight the command.
A guard walks up with silver shackles. I watch as the rogue is chained and taken to the wall, where they hang him against it.
"Is there anything else you may need from this cell?" Cohen speaks up.
I bring my aura of power back in. "No, it can be cleaned."
Cohen nods to the guards before telling them to make sure it is cleaned within the hour.
I walk towards the exit. Right now, that rogue needs to weaken to get a better response, as currently he can fight to much.
"Would you like to accompany me to lunch?" Cohen calls from just behind me.
My thoughts must have kept my surroundings in a blur.
"Certainly." I give a small smile.
