Guardian's Obsession (Yandere Naga x Reader)

Chapter Forty Two ~ Two Sides Of The Coin

AUTHOR POV

"Ple-please! I don't-" The begging that had been disturbed through fits of coughing as the young female continued to lose blood, only now to be cut off as claws dug into her coils yet again. The pain pulled howling screams from her, the sound reverberating off the stone around them. Sadly for her however no one was even close enough to hear them, Karn had been sure of that fact. Pulling his claws from the females tail, he pulled himself up watching the blood flow over his hand in distain. "I am growing tired of your lies" The words fell cold and heavy in the air as the female continued to cry. For the previous two days since Karn had taken her, he had been merciless in trying to pull information he needed form the female below him. Her once sleek shining burgundy scales were now shredded torn and even removed in places, while the rest was partly coated in her own blood. Her skin was not fairing much better as more wounds littered her upper body, bruises and swelling leaving little skin unharmed to the eye. One of her eyes was missing from its socket, while the other struggled to watch the huge male above her. Fear and pain battling within the female as she struggled to stay alert enough to stay alive.

Karn showed no care for her, a hand striking out to take her matted hair and pull her head up with a cry. "I will not ask you again. How do you pass the sands?!" The bellowed words left the female whimpering in his hold. She was no longer strong enough to even try and break free of him, and her ears now rang from his voice. She was certain one was already bleeding from a blow to her head the day before, so the volume only served to agitate the injured inner ear further. When she did not answer in the seconds he waited Karn snarled at the female in his hold again, throwing her to the rocks below her. The landing more than enough to not only rattle her, but force what little air she had kept in her lungs out. Karn began breathing raggedly in his rage, turning his back on the female to circle her his mind working faster as he considered how he could further push for what he needed. Over a moon ago he had planned to take back his mate, only to be met with yet more obstacles.

The high lord had moved the territories into actions, patrolling making it almost impossible to travel through them undetected any longer. Karn had been forced to find new routes to follow, be more cautious of his chosen paths. The interruption of his plans was taken lightly, his anger and blood lust rose ever higher as he adapted his plans. Yet when he finally found one route to take him through the empty land between the territories, Karn found himself trapped. He had not noticed the change in the earth below him as he moved until he began to sink. Quicksand. Dangerous even deadly to even be close to, Karn knew he was lucky to have pulled himself free in time. The relief of his escape had been short lived however, as yet again he had no way to pass through the only route he had found. He had everything he needed. He had even planned for further resistance from Y/N as he learned of how his young were protective of her, how they rarely left her side. Which meant he would be either taking them or removing them. However if he took them he now had a way to help remove the damage done by those who took his role. He would undo what they had been taught, teach them anew just as he could do with his precious Y/N if she refused to behave.

He had medicine now to help her should she suffer after her punishments. A sinister smile grew the day he learned forced a healer to prepare another to ensure she would not deny him, something he had been sure to keep a large store of. It had taken a few healers to prepare what he needed. Karn had seen to it they taught him how to prepare the plants himself as well, after that their usefulness was done so he ensured they would not be a hinderance. It was almost amusing to Karn how the lord of the territories now had to swarm like angered ants, moving to try and repair the damage he had caused. Yet he felt no guilt, this was all to ensure his mate returned to him. A set of pained coughs behind Karn reminded him of his current task. Turning he took in how the female was slowly finding it more difficult to breath, a fact he cared very little for. Once she gave him what he needed she would meet her end, if it was by his claws or her body failing made no difference to him.
