Chapter 175 The Man In The Coffin
TWO DAYS LATER ✍️
Pishan cued his horse to a stop right next to the horse stable before jumping down from it.
“Hey, Pishan. You’re back” One out of the three hostlers called out as he budged forward to take the horse.
It was expected of Pishan to greet them with a welcoming tone, but this time around, he looked pissed.
“Yes, I’m back” he grunted his reply and began walking away – even his footsteps depicting how provoked he was.
What could be wrong with him – the stable men thought.
.
Being away for five days, Pishan needed to look for the King and inform him of his return before doing anything else. He ignored every single person he came across and didn’t even bother asking any of the servants for the King’s location. He just wasn’t int the mood to have a conversation with anyone.
Luckily, he found the King on his first guess which was in the throne room, seeming to be having a meeting with some of the top men of the pack.
Dressed in his well-embellished tunic with gold-work thread, he could be seen sauntering round the table while passing whatever information he was passing to the noble men,but he suddenly paused when he noticed Pishan stepping in.
“Pishan” He called, having that relief in his voice- relief of seeing a friend he hadn’t seen in days.
Well, over the past seven months, Pishan had been making it a habit to travel every now and then. But who was the King to distrust him?
“Greetings, My King” Pishan said with a bow, standing in front of him.
“Greetings to you too, Pishan. How was the journey?” Dakota asked, already observing the sobber look on his face.
“It was okay” Came the simple reply. “It seems you are busy. I’ll just leave you to go on with the meeting”
He bowed again and was about taking some retreating steps.
“Are you okay, Pishan?” Dakota suddenly asked with that stern look on his face – one that made Pishan realize he’d been caught.
With his gaze lowered to the floor, he muttered: “I’ll be fine”.
And when the King said nothing else, he turned around and left.
.
He got into his quiet chambers and plonked himself on the bed, brushing his fingers into his hair afterwards. He was frustrated – yes he was.
His last journey had been the worst for him, and if only he knew, he would’ve stayed back instead of going and getting himself hurt.
He could recall the tiny happy moment he had when he kissed Sukie, and down to when she pushed him off. Her painful words replayed in his head: “I am not in love with Kylie, and I am not in love with you either!”
“You’re right, we’ve been breaking the law since day one and I think it’s high time we put an end to it! Goodbye, Pishan”. Then, the hard slam of the door that followed.
Pishan’s heart tweaked affectionately, for the first time in a long time, realizing pain. How could Sukie say those words to him? How could she hurt him this way?
He buried his face in his palms, letting out the frustration. No woman had ever made him feel that way, no one at all.
And as he wallowed in pain, he realized he had fallen deeply for Sukie.

AT THE WITCHES PALACE ✍️
**********************
Sukie walked into the Queen’s quiet room and sat on the bed – awaiting her arrival like she had requested.
She had just returned from her five days journey and really wanted to be alone, but unfortunately, she was asked by the Queen to wait in her chambers.
Sitting bleakly on the bed, she took a trip down memory lane to her time with Pishan. Her heart grew heavier, recalling how badly things had turned out for them.
A tear streaked her cheek when she recalled the kiss – the moment he touched her. Oh! It was priceless!
Her spine still shivered at the bare thought of it alone as she recalled the o*rgasm she had felt when he touched her nipples. It was nothing like she had ever experienced before… not even from Kylie.
She exhaled lightly, thinking of how badly her words were to him:
“You’re right, we’ve been breaking the law since day one and I think it’s high time we put an end to it! Goodbye, Pishan.”
Her heart skipped two beats as she recalled the pain in his eyes. Oh! How could she say such words to him? Why did she have to hurt him that much? Just why?
She lowered her head to the floor and wept, unable to deal with her conscience.

LORD RYDER’S CLUTCH ✍️
********************
Lady Cami gasped heavily as she quickly hid herself behind the wall, hoping she didn’t get seen.
She stayed that way for sometime until she was sure he was moving again and slowly, she peeped and confirmed him going into the tunnel.
She leaned forward and let out a deep breath.
She didn’t want to do this – didn’t want to be the one stalking the VampLord, but at that moment she had no choice as she really wanted to know what Lord Ryder was always doing in the tunnel.
Over the long years she had been with him, she’s always noticed his strange movements in and out of the tunnel – including the fact that he doesn’t let any other person in. The tunnel was located just behind their Schloss and over the years, he had been extremely strict with it – more reasons Cami badly wanted to know what was going on there.
Having the courage again, she continued walking – trying as much as possible to be careful enough. She tiptoed towards the tunnel, and getting to the portal, peeped in to see Ryder opening a certain door. There was another door in the tunnel?
She hid behind behind the tunnel’s door and listened to the sound of keys being opened until she was sure Ryder had fully opened the door and walked in.
Then, she came out from her hiding place afterwards and walked in, going towards the door which had been shut. What was he doing in there? She thought. She had no idea there was a room in there the whole time.
Slowly, she tip-toed to the door and getting close enough, placed her ear on the door to see if she could hear anything, but there was nothing. And of course, she couldn’t open the door to go in as that would be asking for a death wish.
Then, an idea struck into her head. Quickly, she lowered herself to the hinges of the door and put her eyes through the keyhole. And there… she could have a little glimpse of what was going on in the room.
It was just Ryder in there – in an unkempt room, but there was something else. There was…a coffin in front of him.
Hah! Cami flinched immediately. A coffin??? She felt her heart heating up at the thought of it.
For the vampires, coffins were majorly used when a Vampire was laid to sleep – the ancient sleep that would make one sleep so deep for centuries – and it could only happen when the Vampire was purposefully stabbed with the white oak ash dagger.
But, who was it? Which Vampire was sleeping in the coffin? Cami could feel her heart racing so fast.
*
Lord Ryder had that satisfying smile on his face as he stared at the pale face of Lord Achlys sleeping right there in the coffin. Asleep for so long, his face had become white and cracked, and he wished someday, he could just vanish and become a past tense.
If only he could k*il*l him permanently. Of course, he had tried everything possible to k*il*l him, but it just wouldn’t work out – leaving him with no other option but to put him to the eternity sleep. He had covered him there in the box and hidden him in the deepest tunnel where he was sure no one would be able to break in. If anyone ever tried to break in without his knowledge, he’d be notified the very instance.
Since the old man wouldn’t die, Ryder had sworn to keep him in that box till eternity.
He smirked as he glanced at the dagger stuck to his chest – the dagger that only him, Ryder, could remove. But of course, he was never going to do that as he wanted the old Vampire to remain that way. His time being alive was over and it was left for him – Ryder – to take over Supreme leadership – even from the wolves.
.
His smiles suddenly seized when he felt someone’s presence from the door.
