Alpha Nocurne's Contracted Mate

“Eromaug?” Linus repeated back to Allen in shock, “Why do you need to know about him?”

Allen was silent as he studied his face. The look of shock and surprise that flashed across his eyes, followed by the worried expression that flickered across his face told Allen that Linus did indeed know something about the Daemon Lord. Whether or not it proved useful or not would remain to be seen.

“I’m pleased to see that your time here hasn’t impaired your hearing at least,” Allen commented dryly as he leaned against the wall casually, “I want to know what you know about him.”

Linus swallowed nervously and his eyes darted around his cell. “That’s a dangerous subject to discuss so openly…” He stammered fearfully.

“I wouldn’t call your cell an open place, Linus.” Linus clicked his tongue as his eyes narrowed.

“You have no idea what you’re talking about. Even in places that you consider safe, you’ll quickly re-evaluate your topics of conversation.” Linus hissed, “You still haven’t told me why you need to know.”

“And I’m still not going to tell you, Linus.” Allen snapped, already beginning to lose patience with the audacity of this man, “You are in no position to make demands for knowledge.”

Linus glowered at him fiercely and opened his m*outh to reply, but whatever he was going to retort with, he obviously decided against it and instead, sighed bitterly as he changed the position that he was seated in.

“Eromaug has been quietly gathering strength over the years.” Linus finally said as he stared at the manacles around his wrists, “We wouldn’t have known if it had not been for a spate of disappearances that involved the last known magick users across multiple communities.”
