The God & The Shadow

Chapter 14

VERONICA

I steeled my face to give no indication whatsoever that I knew the man next to me, let alone bearing his mark on my palm.

Maurice gestured to one of his guards carrying two leather cases. The man walked over to lay the cases in front of us then opened it, revealing bags of white powder inside.

"The best drug on the market today: Diametra; stronger and better than your usual." Maurice explained.

I leaned forward, resting my elbows on the table as I took a closer look at the drugs. I slowly dragged my fingers over the bags, pretending to look completely dumbfounded by the substances.

Maurice suddenly grabbed me by my wrist, his iron grip felt harrowing on my skin.

"You could put those fingers of yours to better use." He suggested.

I gave him a knowing smile, then asked, "What do you suggest?"

I stood up, slowly walking over to him.

He licked his lips as he received the message. "Go to the god.", he instructed to the girls beside him as they stood up and walked up to Lore.

I didn't want to look behind me no matter how badly I wanted to watch. I sat beside the vampire, pretending to survey his disgusting face as my fingers brushed his cheek.

He smiled at me before grabbing my waist and kissing me. He immediately shoved his tongue into my lips, causing me to make a sound he assumed was a moan.

I fucking loathed this man, and I only met him a few minutes ago. I knew any attempt to talk to Lore would prove ineffective, remembering what he told me about always having his shields up around his enemies.

I heard one of the girls behind me laugh as Maurice pulled me into him, demanding me to straddle him and let him fuck me in front of everyone.

"Do it." Warren says through my earpiece.

Fucking finally.

I pulled away from him, breaking the kiss as he looked at me with a huge smile on his face. I returned the smile as I willed the bandolier to reveal itself, grabbing the dagger at my back and driving it through his heart without warning.

The guards started moving then, bringing out their guns and shooting as I teleported behind them and slitting their throats with my daggers.

People that were haphazardly positioned around the room started to join the fight as well, but Lore quickly started deflecting the bullets with an invisible shield, then dispersing his magic to choke five of them simultaneously.

I threw my remaining daggers at the remaining assailants, their sharp edges finding its target as they were all embedded in their foreheads.

I peered out of the large windows that showed the floor below. People that ran out of the room were causing a stampede out by the club's main area as everyone rushed to get out.

I walked back to Maurice, who was spewing buckets of blood, rifling through his suit jacket as I smiled at the flash drive.

As he was so rudely shoving his tongue down my fucking throat earlier, I felt the short strip of metal earlier as I was touching him.

I could've easily driven the wooden stake through his heart to kill him, but I realized how Tarrin simply said to kill the guy, never saying when.

"Package acquired." I say as I pressed my earpiece to talk through it.

"Alright. Get out of there now, V." He replied.

I turned around to see Lore watching me, hands in his pockets. His face was empty, but wrath was written all over his eyes.

"You can have my case if you want." I suggested, pointing at the cases that were now on the floor.

Lore continued to stare at me, then his eyes transferred to Maurice, who was now crawling through the floor to one of my daggers that was embedded on one of his men's head.

I slowly moved the corpse's head out of his reach with my stilettos, watching him slowly realize he was in deep shit.

"Bitch." He whispered, looking up at me.

"So I've been called." I answered.

"Elvira." Lore called out to me.

I crouched to where Maurice's body gave out, his breathing heavier than ever.

"Not now, Lore. I'm working." I said before calling the darkness to wrap around us as we teleported to the happiest place on Earth.
