Chapter 308: Meeting With The Half One
Ignoring the panic that was swelling in her chest, Inez spoke in a low voice, "This is neither the tnor the
place to talk about this matter."
"I think it is the right tto discuss this." Scarlet slid down the bars and sat down on the floor. Pulling the knees
close to her chest, she glanced at her sister. "I don’t think either of us is going to get out of this prison any time
soon. So why not talk about it? At least that way we would be able to pass stime?"
"Are you even taking this seriously?" A mouse scurried past them, escaping through the gaps of the bars. Inez’'s
eyes followed him, and for a few seconds, she wished she could shift into a mouse and run past these bars. But
then she remembered that she had shifter restraints on her wrists; even if she could shift, the possibility of her
shifting and escaping was close to none.
"lI am." Scarlet looked at her chipped nails that were now broken in a few places due to the harsh pulling and
tagging. She frowned with a look of annoyance. "However, do you think we can do anything at this moment?"
She moved her hand as if pointing out the obvious situation they were trapped in. "If you have any ideas to get
us out of here, then be my guest."
Inez scowled, feeling a bit annoyed, but her annoyance was not directed at Scarlet but at herself. Why did she
even go to that damned place today? Maybe she could have gone there yesterday, or maybe tomorrow. Any
other time, which might not have resulted in her getting imprisoned. She pursed her lips and said, "I don’t have
any particular plan at the moment, but we can always brainstorm, right?"
"You will be lucky."
A hoarse voice spoke from the prison beside them, and Inez quickly whipped her head to see who the person
speaking to her was. Her eyes met with a shaggy man whose face was leaning against the bars of the cell. He
was grinning toothily at them. His grey eyes that peeked through the matted hair were filled with amusement.
"First time?"
Inez turned her head away, not bothering with the man. However, Scarlet glanced at their prison mate and
stated, "We were caught in the wrong place at the wrong time, Mister. Don’t lump us in together with you."
"Everyone says that when they arrive here," remarked the man with a taunting grin. "Anyway, you two can try
escaping from here. However, the chances are close to null—no one has ever succeeded till now. How many
people cry and scream their throat out, yelling that they were innocent? What happened to them? They are still
trapped here. Who knows for how long?" He laughed like a maniac. He turned his head and tipped his chin at the
long file of cells down the row of the corridor. "They all cbefore me. While swere executed, the rest had
been trapped here for ages; | am speaking about more than twenty years or so."

grin turned even wider. "Well, well, well. You two don’t look like someone who can kill anyone, but then again,
shifters always have that innocence to them, despite being a psycho killer. Now tell me, who did you kill?"
"We did not kill anyone," breaking her momentary silence, Inez turned and looked at the man with subtle
annoyance. "It was a misunderstanding..."
"Then pardon my rudeness; whom did you see dying?" The man corrected himself.
"Someone | knew."
Hearing her words, the man whistled. "You might as well get used to this place then; there is no point in
screaming."
"What do you mean?" Inez felt her head throb; she had a feeling that whatever this man was going to say was
not going to soothe her worries.
"Ah, you silly girl. Do you even know the meaning of being brought to this place?" the man questioned.
When the two of them didn’t say anything, the man chortled as if they had shared ssecret between
themselves. "The fact that you are brought here means that you are under suspicion. And given that you have
no prominent status, | don’t think that you will have someone coming to save you." He shook his head as if he
wasn't bothered by the fact that he, too, was stuck in prison.
As soon as the man finished speaking, Inez turned to look at Scarlet. The two sisters shared a look before Inez
scrambled to her feet and started yelling, "Listen to me! Is anyone there? | am Alpha Sokolov’s mate. All you
need to do is call him; | am sure he will tell you about me. Just ask him—"
"Shut the fuck up!" one of the guards who was standing outside the gates of the prison came, banging the baton
that he was holding. "If you don’t quieten down, then I will skin you alive. Do you understand?"
Inez was indeed a bit scared, but at the stime, she didn’t want to stay locked up in the prison cell. She
pursed her lips and said, "You are making a mistake. We only went there out of curiosity and had done nothing
wrong; we didn’t kill that woman."
"That's right; if we were the ones who killed her, then we would have run right the fuck away. Do you think we
would have stayed behind and let you guys catch us?" chimed Scarlet.
The man beside their cell shook his head. "Oh, you fools. You are getting yourself in trouble."
Inez knew that she could sense that the guard was losing his temper with them. But staying cooped up in this
cell was not something she could withstand. She could feel her hands going clammy and her fear doubling within
her heart. If this went on—
Inez didn’t even dare to think about it. She suppressed the terror that was rising in her heart and tightened her
hold on the bars. "Can you call, Alpha Sokolov? He - he is my mate. If—"
"Shut up." Inez had hardly spoken when the guard banged the baton on the bars, right where her fingers were.
Inez winced and pulled her hands back. Just as Scarlet let out a loud ‘hey’. She raised her hands to bang at the
bars, but then she heard Inez groaning in pain. "Are you alright?" She asked, sounding worried.
The guard glanced at the two of them indifferently. But then his gaze fell on Inez, to whom Scarlet was talking;
earlier, he was not present here, and thus, he didn’t take a good look at the two women. Now that he had, he
couldn't help but be tempted because the woman was prettier than any other woman he had ever seen. He
opened the lock of the cell and stepped inside. He walked over to the two of them, and hearing the sound of
footsteps, Scarlet whipped around, and Inez raised her head.

They had the slook in their eyes when they were stalking her sister.
The guard ignored her. The audacity of the bastard. So when he tried to step past her and head close to Inez,
what do you think she did? She stepped right in his path. "Step back," Scarlet growled at the guard, sensing just
what the man was trying to do.
However, her hands were restrained, and she couldn't do much, not with her hands all tied up.
The guard raised his head and

Inez’s heartbeat, which had somewhat calmed down, rose right back when she realised that the man in front of
her was a vampire. If this man tasted her blood, then her situation would beceven more perilous.
