Conquering His Cold Heart

The woman nervously nodded her head and hoped that the vampires would now let them off their hook.

The man, on the other hand, gulped in fear.

‘She should have said any random name but that! Maybe we would have had a chance at surviving if she did that!’ he screamed furiously in his mind. On the outside though, he didn’t show any signs of panic and hoped that the older vampire was simply bluffing when he said that he knew everyone in that town.

Jasper was indeed bluffing when he said that his house was near Silver Keep. He wanted to make them believe that he went there often and knew most of the townspeople.

He was simply trying to catch them off-guard if that woman was lying to him about having an aunt in Silver Keep.

However, it worked out better than he had thought since that woman was indeed caught off-guard and she ended up giving out the only real name of the resident of Silver Keep that she was aware of.

And unfortunately for her, that was also the only name that the commander recognized.

Jasper glanced at Scott; the latter was trying his best to hold in the laughter. The commander gave a slight nod to Scott.

.....

The corner of Scott’s lips slightly curved up to form a crooked smirk. He proudly puffed his chest, knowing that he was going to be appreciated by the commander later on.

Jasper turned his gaze at that woman again and then spoke as if he hadn’t suspected anything yet, “Ah! I feel really sorry for Mrs. Thompson. Their grown-up daughter suddenly disappeared from their home. Mr. and Mrs. Thompson must be grieving their loss.”

The woman suddenly realized her mistake. In her distress, she had given the names of the same person who she and her friend had come to retrieve.

Before she would speak and do further damage, the man took over the conversation. “Yes, they both are grieving their lost daughter. That’s why she wanted to go there and stay in her aunt’s home to offer some comfort to them.”

“Ah! That’s very thoughtful of her.” Jasper slowly closed the distance between himself and the couple while speaking in his calm voice, “But I guess you two haven’t heard the news yet.”

“News? What news?” the man asked with genuine confusion. A subtle hint of fear was visible in his eyes.

Jasper stood a foot away from those tensed and scared humans and then said in a rather whimsical tone, “They don’t live in Silver Keep anymore.”

Both of the humans felt a pang in their hearts because according to the information their Crown Prince had given them, the two of them lived in that town.

The woman quickly wiped the sweat bead that trickled down her forehead and tried to cover up her error, “Really? Last I heard from my aunt, she didn’t mention anything about moving to another place.”

Jasper nodded his head as if he believed them. “I bet she didn’t mean to move to another location without informing her niece.”

“Wh-Where did they shift to then?” the man asked because he genuinely wanted to know. If the vampires bought their sob story then he thought that it would make their task easier later.

However, he got petrified when Jasper suddenly protruded his fangs and snarled right in front of his face. And in the next second, he got pulled by his collar and slammed against the thick trunk of a tree. He struggled when he was back to getting choked again.

Jasper was done playing games with those obvious rats who had breached Sorvando’s territory.

He dug one of his claws into that liar’s neck, making sure not to pierce any vital nerves and kill him in an instant.

“Aahh...” that intruder gagged and gargled blood.

The woman was now covering her mouth with her palm and was letting out a muffled scream. Tears started to fall down like a waterfall when she saw her friend’s white shirt getting soaked with blood.

“Please leave him...” The woman mumbled while sobbing. She was still staying in her character, thinking that there was still a small percent chance that the older vampire didn’t think of them as spies, and just wanted to snack on them. “We did nothing wrong... Please... Why are you doing this to us?”

Jasper looked over his shoulder and glared at that woman with a disgusted look on his face.

And he furiously yelled at that woman, “You did nothing wrong? Do you want to play the innocence card right now? Okay! You wanted to know where your ‘aunt’ shifted to, right? Guess what, you dumb bitch? They both shifted to hell after their house burned down to the ground!”

Both that man and the woman who came to rescue the Thompsons were stunned and terrified to their core.

Jasper turned his crystal-red eyes at the man in front of him and snarled like a monster from Hell, “And guess what? My boys had investigated the family of the Thompsons. And I know for sure that they had no living relatives. So, the moment your dumb friend lied that the Thompson was her aunt, she signed both of your death certificates then and there.”

That young couple’s face dropped in an instant.

That man darted his tear-filled eyes around in search of his friend. He tightly shut his eyes and let the tears roll down once his blurry vision found her.

“I’m so sorry...” he saw her mouthing to him.

When they had signed up for this dangerous mission, both of them were also prepared to die. They were aware that a lot of things could go wrong, and unluckily for them, it did go wrong.

“Goodbye,” he mouthed back to that woman. He then rummaged his tongue inside his mouth to try and take out his fake tooth. That fake tooth was filled with a deadly poison that would cause instant death.

“Now, now...” Jasper noticed the man desperately trying to do something with his tongue. He correctly guessed what he was trying to do. So, he instantly let go of his grip around that man’s neck and immediately clutched his cheeks to make him open his mouth.

“Oh, what’s the hurry?” he mumbled to that man, and instantly ordered his soldier, “Scott! Don’t let that woman kill herself.”
