Chapter 0305
“It’s not a fault to be dependable,” I said.
“It is if it makes you immovable. You have to be more willing to be wrong.”
I closed my mouth and glared at him. As usual, my sharp looks seemed to bounce right off of him without taking hold.
“Come on,” Julian began walking. He didn’t look back, expecting me to fall in line behind. him. Damn him, I needed to, for Piper’s sake, so I did. “We can’t keep our dear uncle waiting.”
Together, Julian and I walked out of the palace and toward the guard barracks. In the basement beneath their facility was a type of prison. Julian jokingly called it, ‘the dungeon,‘ though that title wasn’t far from the truth.
It had been built long ago and though lighting and plumbing had been added later, it still maintained a certain level of castle dungeon aesthetic: thick stone walls, iron bars, chains on the walls. The interrogation rooms were once torture rooms, though no torture took place
now.
At least, none that I was privy to know about. I had suspicions though.
Terry was kept in a special cell at the end of the long, narrow hall. His cell was dimly lit, with only a bulb light on the ceiling in the middle of the stone room. Terry’s hands were bound in shackles. His hair was messed, his beard overgrown.
I blinked, seeing him like this. I’d never seen the man in such a state of disarray.
“How delightful it is that my nephews came to visit me,” Terry said, distain dripping from his voice like poison. “What the hell more could you possibly want from me?”
The shock wore off Julian much faster than me.
“Call off Jane,” Julian said. “Before Piper gets hurt.”
Terry, who was sitting on the floor, dropped his head back against the wall. “Jane went for her head, did she? I imagined she would. It was only my lust for the girl that kept her safe from Jane’s wrath.”
“Call. Her. Off,” I said now, adding an Alpha threat into my voice.
Terry glanced at me incredulously, and then laughed – loud and hard and mocking.
