3. Grasping onto Hope

THEON

He‘s anger was obvious as he glared at me with complete rage. “So now you care what happens to him?” He hissed. 

“No, I don‘t. But he is still her son.” I shot back coldly. 6 

“She’s dead, she doesn‘t know what‘s happening here.” His cold reply came, his chest heaving as he fought his anger. 2 

“It‘s about being loyal to her and honouring your word. You know when it comes to Mom, I won‘t let it slide. You are not to touch him. No matter how much he becomes a thorn in our side, he will not be touched. Understood?” 

His features began morphing as he fought himself from shifting, lunging to grab hold of me but I raised my arm, my own eyes flashing in warning. 

“I told you; I will obey you and I am... but when it comes to an oath given to Mom… I won‘t tolerate it.” 

I had mentioned Hunter, to divert the conversation for me, but I hadn‘t expected him to want him out of the picture. 

“Then you better obey me properly, because I‘m beginning to see a change in the man that I sent on this mission... You drugging so many of Andres‘s closest as if you did not want them to lose their lives...” 

I didn‘t react but I knew why I kept them alive... because Yileyna needed someone. 

That bastard Raiden.... Ryan... and of course Charlene, who was like a part of her soul. Annoying. 

I couldn‘t deny that I had fallen for the one woman I shouldn‘t have... but I had, and no matter what I did, I couldn‘t stop myself from worrying about her. 5 

Even the poison I was giving her was such a low dose. I wanted her to break away, to get far away from here, but she was far too stupid and stubborn to do that. 

“You confuse me, you said you need this city and the packs to accept us. By killing everyone, how would that win you points? Care to explain? I thought it was a smart move to keep those who were once in power, alive. However, if you want me to go behead Henry and the two Gamma females, I will willingly do so.” I said, ready to walk off when Dad raised his hand. 

“No.You are correct. I‘m sorry son, but we have spent a lot of time apart… You seem to have more... emotion than you did two years ago when Iyara died –” 5 

“Was killed.” I corrected, remembering it was an attack by Andres... seeing her body lying there... her heart ripped from it. She had been missing her leg and her neck had a chunk bitten right out. The stinging pain when I remembered it was still there... 6 

“Yes, by Andres, however you didn‘t seem to care, only wanting revenge... I fear this woman may change you.” “How? I was ready to burn her? How exactly did I show compassion?” I asked, my eyes
