Korbin is eerily quiet as we drive the last leg of our trip home, staring off at the trees that we zoom past. It’s frightening. He’s never
quiet.
Thad not even set foot on the plane when Korbin called me the day of the attack, the fear thick in his voice as he demanded I return
to the hotel. He could not even explain to me what had happened, his words slurred as he incoherently begged me to come help him. I did my best to calm him down and stayed on the line with him until I returned to the hotel where I got the shock of my life, finding
Caine’s lifeless body stuffed in the back of the truck.
“What happened?” I demanded, unwilling to believe my own eyes as I stared at the body.
“H-he just went crazyl” Korbin hiccuped between sobs. “I-I don’t even know what- what happened,” he cried. “I tried to stop him. I
tried but he wouldn’t listen to mel He wouldn’t… He just shot himself,” he whimpered. “He shot… He shot himself.”
It took several hours to calm Korbin down enough to make sense of what he was saying and even then, I could not make out the
events of that day, unable to understand how Zane made Caine shoot himself without uttering a single word. Caine is many things, but
suicidal is not one of them. He would have put up a fight before dying. Something else must have taken place that day but I cannot get
Korbin to tell me the truth.
“Dad…” Korbin whispers, his eyes glossy as he looks over at me. “I’m scared.”
So am I, I want to tell him but these words will do him no good right now, so I swallow them back and put on a brave face.
“Alpha will want to know the exact details of that day,” I sigh tiredly, looking over at Caine.
“So what should I tell him?” Korbin whispers to himself.
My hands tighten their grip around the steering wheel as I try to think of a good answer to that. Korbin can’t lie to save his life so it is
best to come clean with what happened. Lying to Sebastian is simply not an option.
“Tell me exactly what happened again,” I reply.
Korbin nods, his eye blinking fast as he clears his throat. “W-we were on our way to River Moon like you told us, when we saw Zane
and his mate driving in the opposite direction. That’s when Caine went berserk and drew a gun from his pants. I tried to stop him but he shot at them. I think he hurt Zane’s mate. I don’t know. Everything just happened so fast and then Caine pulled over and started shooting
at Zane again. Zane shifted and just stared at Caine for a really long time. That’s when Caine suddenly spun the cylinder of his gun and pointed it to his own head but he was crying, like he was begging Zane for mercy but Zane never said anything. He just stood there, staring at him. Caine even pissed himself, he was so scared. He pulled the trigger many times until a bullet finally made its way through his skull.”
“Zane turned to me and I panicked,” Korbin adds. “I told him your message and he told me Alpha Sebastian would regret pushing
him away”
“Wait, Zane actually spoke to you?” I ask, trying to remember the last time I ever heard Zane utter a single word.
“Well no,” Korbin shakes his head. “He mind-linked me but… it was weird.”
