Chapter 422 The Cunning Bastard Mate (Akin’s POV)

“UGHHHH!” My scream deafened my own ears as they whipped me with silver chains and kept throwing wolfbane at me. The water I drank earlier had wolfbane and silver in it. No wonder it felt funky, but I thought it was due to the fact that their water was a bit too sour at times.

“Tell us why?” Igor yelled, eyeing his guards, to stop for a minute.

“I didn’t do anything,” I grunted, keeping my head down and getting whipped again.

“You have no idea what you have done. To come here and make it seem like you care about us and our people, but then do this? Why? You had our princess as your mate. Why would you want more?” Igor screamed as he lit the cigar and puffed the smoke into the air.

His high-volume screaming didn’t match his body language. He looked way too calm to be certain that I was this disgusting man who was hurting his people.

“You know I didn’t do s*hit,” I said, raising my head and looking him dead in the eye. “Where is Beatrice?”

It’s been a few hours since they trapped me here, and I have been requesting that everyone tell me where she is. It was odd that I had not heard from her since last night. I was beginning to get agitated now.

“She doesn’t want to see your face,” the moment Igor said that, I felt my heart crumbling in my chest. It wasn’t because I thought she believed them, but because I knew there was no way she would not want to come here to see me.
