Chapter 128: Price of Insolence

Footsteps echoed and soon Orpheus returned to the corridor with another vampire, catching sight of only the two humans and the wolf.

"There they are!" Orpheus shouted as they charged forward.

When Lucian stood up, the other vampire tried to stop his feet from moving forward. But it was too late as the pureblooded vampire caught the person’s head before ramming it right into the wall. The force was enough to knock the person out.

Orpheus’s mouth fell open. He didn’t understand how Lucian had ended up here, but he turned to leave—

"I didn’t do anything!" Orpheus’ words faltered, and his earlier bravado began to evaporate under the eyes of the pureblooded vampire. "It was Bowen and the others!"

"If it weren’t for you, none of this would’ve happened!" Kevin snapped and this had the vampire sneer at him.

"Fucking human shut yo—" Orpheus began only to be interrupted by Lucian.

"Bring everyone to the den."

Orpheus blinked at Lucian’s command.

"You don’t need to tell them why," Lucian said, his voice dangerously calm. "And Orpheus... don’t run. I’m already in a poor mood."

The younger vampire looked torn but he hesitantly left the corridor.

"Go find your friend and get back to Sexton," Lucian spoke to Kevin.
