“Well… I hope you can see that here. We have a goal that is right, the true way… And


    you have proven yourself, Sebastian. I think with the approaching battle, I have no


    doubt of what you are capable of and that you will lead our people diligently.”


    I listen as we walk down the endless dark tunnels of this ce.


    “Ah, Gerard did tell me about the antidote you wanted for your daughter, and I can


    understand that. She suffered… unnecessarily.” He says, smiling at me. There’s no


    remorse and obviously, there wouldn’t be. He doesn’t give a fuck.


    The temptation to rip him to shreds right here consumes me, but instead, with every


    ounce of willpower I have, I simply nod.


    “She is a child, and I am certain I will have my children on my side when the battle


    is over. We will teach them what is right and our ways.”


    “Children…” he nods. “Hmm, what if we take them from her sooner? I mean, we can


    give your daughter the antidote ourselves. Besides, if they’re here, we’ll be able to


    make sure they are not harmed when the battle urs.”


    No. Fuck no.


    “And it.


    are unable to bring them here? Then what? I mean, Zaia has kept them


    locked away and my daughter is getting worse.”


    “Yes, we saw that, but I was curious about one thing before you left the pack,


    Sebastian. I saw you go to all the security centres, even the prison facility… why? I


    don’t want to be using you, but when we had you, try to hack into those you were


    locked out. I’m assuming Zaia did that, but…. Are you sure it was not you?”


    He is quick–witted and this time I’m unable to stop the thump of my heartbeat. That


    is exactly what I had done…


    “I feel insulted,” I say coldly, in an attempt to cover up my emotions.


    “Is it not why you went to those ces?” he asks, his obvious usation barely


    hidden, and I now look him dead in the eye.


    T


    “No, in fact, I went to get us some intel,” I say coldly.


    I feel fucking relieved I had thought of a reason in case the enemy saw what I did before leaving.


    “He is correct, Lawrence. Let him off.” Gerard says as he walks over to us. “He got us


    some blueprints and information on the pack, as well as some very important statistics about their


    number of assault and defence power. Guards, warriors, and


    security.”


    Lawrence nods slowly. Then forgive me. I have just learned to be extremely careful.


    I do not trust easily.”

    “No need. I understand where you areing from. It’s good to be on the safe side.” I


    reply with a small, brisk smile.


    Gerard chuckles. “Yes… well, I think we can give him the promised antidote, don’t


    you think, Lawrence?”


    “Is it safe? I mean, that was his incentive to join us, wasn’t it?” The older man says


    keenly.


    He has no heart; he wasn’t fazed about Mnie’s death, and he wouldn’t care if


    anything happened to my little Sia.


    “I can assure you, my loyalty lies here, but I do care for my children,” I say.


    They look up a little too quickly for my liking, and it makes me uneasy.


    “Of course, we all care for our children,” Lawrence says, increasing the feeling of


    foreboding I’m getting because he didn’t care when he learned his daughter was


    dead.


    “I will give you the antidote, Sebastian, for little Sia but in return… We need proof


    that you are ready to go to any extent to win this battle for us,” Gerard says, with


    another nce at Lawrence.


    “Like I said, I will do anything.” I say.


    Gerard smiles. “Then I want you to kill Atticus Payne’s family.”
