Chapter 0354

‘A true Alpha questions all because he is born to be in charge… even if it means disobeying yoursuperiors…”

That’s what he once said with pride. I didn’t kill Zaia Toussaint when she was pregnant, although I hadfound a chance, I hesitated. I couldn’t kill two innocents in the process… even if their mother needs tobe destroyed. Gaultier had returned and told them what I had done, and their anger had known nolimits, but I got away with it although I’m not sure this time I will if I refuse to do their bidding.

“Gaultier is younger than you. You have had more training for a reason. Remember that you have noemotions but to serve the goddess!” Gerard snarls.

“It is an insult to who I am to be given such a pathetic target. Let me target Zaia

Toussaint. I’d rather deal with her.”

“You lost that chance last time!” Gerard hisses.

“I agree. Do as you’re told.” Lawrence says, his smile lacking all emotions.

Of course… since then he’s made sure my path never crossed with hers and instead has me focus onthe other two…

“No,” I say and walk away.

They weren’t even sure if this woman was part of the triquetra, yet they wanted us to check her headfor the mark and to kill her. If that’s what they want, then they can do it themselves.

“Zade! You will be punished if you disobey!” Lawrence’s voice comes from behind me, but I don’t botherto stop. The punishment is something I won’t be able to avoid but obeying their every command Icould…

Agony splits through my entire body as several men hold me down including Gaultier and Gerardhimself. But even through the pain I don’t miss the smug amusement in Gerard’s eyes and theconfusion in Gaultier’s after they had beaten me when I least expected to be targeted.

Gaultier is a

years is becoming numb and blind to his net, one who over the own free will. One who strives forapproval from Lawrence, wanting to be seen as the most powerful of the three Blood Born families.

“What the Father wishes, he gets.” Gerard spits. The poison that they had thrown on me is stinging,burning my skin like it’s been lit ablaze, and my entire body is

begging for reprieve from the pain.

They couldn’t handle me alone, so they had formed this pathetic plan. With the poison weakening me,I’m unable to throw them all off no matter how much I try.

“Indeed, I do,” Lawrence says, stepping forward with a thin long syringe in his hands. “You see, Zade…you need to remember your place. What I command must always be obeyed.

He crouches down, grabbing me by the jaw. Anger flares through me and I spit in his face. His eyesblaze, and he backhands me across the face, snapping my head

to the side.

“Insolent!” he hisses.

I clench my jaw, feeling my own rage rising like a tidal wave.

“Enough.” I snarl.

He laughs humourlessly. “The thing is, Zade, only I have the power to say when it’s enough!” I don’texpect it, nor do I see him move through the pain and I feel something sharp rip through my eye, beforewhite–hot blistering agony tears, making me growl in sheer agony.

I’m unsure where the power comes from, but I tear free from my captors as I clutch my eye with onehand, my claws out in rage.

Never have I felt a pain like this! Ever.

It’s only getting worse. What was in there?

“What did you do!” I snarl, trying to look up, but I can’t, clutching my eye as I fall to the ground, writhingin agony.

“Your mother will pay too… for giving me you and not Zaia,” he spits before he stands up and I realisethey are all walking away… I can’t do anything, can’t think straight and I’m left in the dark hall, refusingto succumb to the pain… and knowing that he has just destroyed my eye beyond the capacity of myhealing…

All because I refused a command…

(END OF FLASHBACK)

That was when I became blind in one eye… because I refused to murder her that night… but I don’tremember the extent of that pain… not anymore. It now remains like a phantom, a dull memory I don’t

like to ponder on.

I close my eyes, tossing the knife onto the bedside stand. It gets stuck in the wood with a small whizz,but I turn away staring at the plain bed sheets.
