Chapter 145 At the fortress , he passed through the familiar intersection and was almost at Blackstone when he heard a familiar voice , Lord Vladya Vladya did not turn .
Not now , Ottai .
Yes , now , his friend insisted , his voice firm .
And if you do not rant me your time , I shall follow you all the way to Blackstone .
And mark my words , I shall plague you until you giv in .
Vladya stopped with a resigned sigh .
Figured as much .
Everyone , leave , Ottai ordered .
Within seconds , the meeting of paths was deserted , except for the two of them .
It is the madness , is it not ? It creeps closer .
Tell me what trouble you , Vlad .
Vladya met his gaze .
Nothing .
You know better than to lie to me , Ottai hissed , stepping closer his eyes narrowed in suspicion .
You vanished for days , now you return with bloodshot eyes , as if you havent slept in weeks .
Fine .
Its the madness .
I lost track of time .
Zoned out for days .
He stated bluntly .
What are you going to do about it ? Ottai paled , his anger replaced with a wave of pity and sorrow .
Vlad … Vladya turned and began to walk away , unable to bear the weight of his friends concern .
Tell Daemon about this .
Please .
Ottais plea hung in the air .
Vladya stopped , whirling around .
And what difference would it make ? He already contends with enough burdens .
He does not need the weight of my own struggles .
Is that what you tell yourself ? You think the grand king will not wish to know that his closest companion is battling feral madness ? Since when do you lie to yourself ? Vladya rubbed his throbbing temples .
I have a headache the size of a dragons egg , I cannot do this right now .
He sought you .
Repeatedly .
He even left to hunt for you , before news arrived that he had to attend to some urgent matters for days .
What urgent matters ? I know not .
My point is , you must tell him .
Ottai pinned him with a stern look .
If you do not tell him , I will .
Anger flashed in Vladyas eyes .
Why is it so important to you ? You think I do not know what you are doing ? Ottai shot back , anger mirroring Vladyas own .
Your sanity deteriorates rapidly because you are not fighting this .
You are NOT putting up a fight .
You think I will let you ? You think I would let you run away like a coward ? He closed the distance between them , jabbing a finger into Vladyas chest .
Think again ! I.
Will .
Not .
-Let .
You .
Vladya blinked slowly .
For a man who rarely lost his composure Ottai was truly furious .
So , you either tell him , or I will .
Do you hear me , Vladya ? With those final words , Ottai turned heading towards Mabblewood .
1/3 Chapter 145 Vladya took a deep breath His headache worsened ..
GRAND RING DAEMONIKAI Leaving was much more difficult than Daemonikai had expected He had been in the woods for a while now , their towering pines boming over him , their earthy scent of moss and decaying leaves mingling with the crisp tang of pine resin , filling his nostris .
2 .
Daemonikai would like to tell himself that he was out here hunting his best friend , but he was a male who rarely lied to himself .
You left her in her first heat , all alone .
* She is not alone .
Her male is right there with her .
His beast snarled .
That ugly feeling of jealousy rose again .
He squashed it yet again .
The girl had him so distracted , he could barely see straight .
Daemonikai could not remember being so out of control .
It had been so long ; it felt really strange right now .
Strange and uncomfortable .
His chest felt tight , painful , as if he were feeling someone elses agony .

Ridiculous .
His family was gone ; he had no personal attachment to anyone else .
Rubbing his chest absently , he rounded a grove of ancient oaks trailing Vladyas scent .
His rut was getting in the way of his tracking .
The girls scent was all he could think about .
Stopping , he squeezed his eyes closed , filling his lungs with deep fresh air , attempting to think of what could be wrong with Vladya .
Daemonikai tried not to worry , but it was becoming hard not to .
Even when breaking the laws he helped create , Vladya would typically confess his wrongs bluntly , leaving Daemonikai to clean up the mess .
Was Herodis around ? His eyes snapped open .
He had left in such a hurry , fighting his instincts tooth and nail , that he hadnt even stopped to confirm the Lord of Agricultures whereabouts .
Of course , hes at home .
His female is in heat ; where would he go ? But you took her away .
What if he is off to his duties ? He expects her to be in good hands , after all .
Now , he was also arguing with himself .
Great .
Very mature .
Daemonikai exhaled , walking and sniffing .
The girl had him wound so tight , even the smallest task was difficult .
Never before had he experienced such uncertainty leaving a female after her heat .
But this is not after heat , was it ? What if the heat waves were back ? What if she was suffering right now ? I can smell you , Wegai , Daemonikais voice cut through the silence of the woods .
You can stop hiding in the trees now .
The rustle of leaves and the snap of a twig preceded Wegais appearance from behind an oak tree .
His expression stoic and impassive , all professional , as usual .
Your Grace .
Daemonikai resumed his stride , hands clasped behind his back .
You have become rusty .
You used to be able to tail me for a few hours before I caught you .
I thought I instructed you not to follow ? 2/3 3/3 Chapter 145 I apologize , Your Grace Wegals voice was steady , betraying noe of the defiance Daemonikai knew simmered beneath the surface .
Are you sorry ? No , Im not , Wegai replied , coolly .
His general was a stickler for laws and order , but he tended to disobey direct orders when they involved him staying put while Daemonikai moved around unprotected .
It was a familiar lance between them .
Daemonikai was used to it .
You were keeping guard all night at the high lords estate ? Daemonikai asked .
Yes , Your Grace .
Is Herodis home at the moment ? No , he left early this morning .
There was a fire in one of the bars at Brookwood .
He has gone to investigate .
Daemonikais muscles tensed , as he came to a stop .
What ? Who is with the girl ? Wegai hesitated .
I wondered if I should bring it up , he began cautiously .
The girl was in a lot of pain after you left .
I think its the heat waves .
A vice like grip tightened around Daemonikais heart .
The usually familiar landscape blurred around the edges , and his beast roared .
Jumping and banging its head against the walls of his chest , snarling like a rabid dog .
The image of Galilea , alone and suffering a heat contraction , filled his mind , igniting a rage he could barely contain .
He hurt .
Daemonikai whirled around , starting back towards the estate before he could think .
His pace quickened with each step .
Then , he was running .
