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.
