Chapter 15
That really wasn’t what she’d been expecting him to say.
She thought that Felix might say something like, “I want to marry you,” or “I think we should be together for always,” and he kind of had. He’d admitted that they were mates, and that was as good as a marriage proposal in the paranormal world.
Only, Felix had admitted something else. He’d admitted something she hadn’t planned for.
“She’s dead,” Tabitha repeated.
All of this time.
All of this planning.
It had been for nothing.
The witch was dead, and Tabitha hadn’t gotten to kill her.
“Dead,” Felix repeated.
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
“I didn’t know if I could trust you,” he said, “and I wanted to find out what the monster was that you said she had.”
“The monster...”
“I think that’s me, too,” he admitted. “Everyone called me Dragon when she was alive. I never knew why.”
“She had her own pet dragon,” Tabitha shook her head. “And you killed her. How?”
“Is that important?”
“I’ve been hunting her for six months, Felix. Please. Gi
ve me this.”
“Poison,” he told her.
“You poisoned a witch?” Tabitha raised an eyebrow.
“It was easy. She had come back from a journey. Apparently, that was when she killed your people,” he swallowed, pausing for a minute. Then he pushed through. “She was weak, and her defenses were down. I offered her a glass of wine to help her ‘recover,’ and then when she was further weakened from the poison in the drink, I killed her with a sword.”
“Wow,” Tabitha was surprised. Then again, he hadn’t exactly held back when he’d been fucking her. He hadn’t shied away from shoving her against the wall of the cave and sliding his cock into her.
A guy who fucked like that was definitely capable of incredible violence if he wanted to.
He certainly deserved to make his move, and he had.
“You aren’t angry?”
“Angry?”
“I feel as though I stole your quest from you,” he said sheepishly.
Tabitha shook her head.
“The bitch is dead. That’s all I care about.”
To her surprise, she meant it, too. She didn’t have to kill the witch. She didn’t have to worry about anything at all when it came to that. In fact, she didn’t even really need to see the castle, but she still wanted to. She wanted to see where it had happened.
