For a very long moment, I stood there in shock, waiting to see if Beta Malakai- ex Beta Malakai- would say something more or give me an\u00a0<\/p>\n
explanation as to what his words meant; But as more seconds passed, each one weaving into the next\u2026 and still, there was nothing, I knew then that he wasn\u2019t willing to speak.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was just there, shaking like a leaf in the wind, his hands trembling as he stared at his filthy feet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I pushed myself away from the wall I\u2019d been leaning against for the past five minutes or so, and when I realised that he would probably never answer my question, I asked;\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCat got your tongue, Kai?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
And at the use of his nickname, the one only my\u00a0<\/p>\n

father used to call him before his demise, he\u00a0<\/p>\n
raised his head to meet my gaze, a flicker of something wild fleeting past his eyes before he slowly opened his mouth.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t know or you don\u2019t want to say?\u201d I asked coldly, my voice sounding as cold as the ice cubes in the bucket behind me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His eyes traveled from my face to the pair of silver scissors in my hands; But still\u2026 he didn\u2019t say a word. He looked away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHave you been suppressing her wolf?\u201d I continued, despite his silence. Although that had only been a wild guess and a means to get him to talk at least, I was surprised when his breath hitched. His shoulders hunched forward and he shook again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He has.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I frowned. \u201cWhy?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
At my voice, he looked up again, stared at me for a moment too long then whispered; \u201cI don\u2019t\u00a0<\/p>\n
know.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His generic responses were grating on my nerves. It made me so mad, I wanted to pull my hair out of my scalp.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Out of respect for him and for the relationship he shared with my father, I had been holding off from torturing him; But at this point, I didn\u2019t know if I could anymore.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I picked up the scissors for real this time and walked over to crouch in front of him, and as I did so, his eyes widened in horror as if noticing the anger in mine. And the tinge of crazy plus\u00a0<\/p>\n
whatever was in between.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I spat; \u201cI won\u2019t ask again, Kai. Why?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cB-because she\u2019s not my child!\u201d He cried, his\u00a0<\/p>\n

limbs shaking violently. \u201cShe\u2019s a curse\u2026 an abomination. And I hate her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo you were suppressing her wolf simply because you hate her?\u201d I hissed, feeling my anger rising. \u201cYou made her the laughing stock of the pack. Made her a runt who was mistreated and bullied by her peers simply because you hate her?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy do I feel like there\u2019s something you aren\u2019t telling me, Kai? How is she Chalice\u2019s twin but not your daughter? Did you do some voodoo shit or something?\u201d I seethed and when he wouldn\u2019t respond, I inched closer to him, pressing my knife into his thigh.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A second passed\u2026 then two.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And then I lost my patience. I stabbed straight into his thigh.\u00a0<\/p>\n

His loud cry filled the air as he threw his head back, wailing so loud, it made the doors to his cell creak in protest. His cries sounded like music to my ears, and if he didn\u2019t act fast, then I was sure to make him sing a full melody soon.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy did you suppress her wolf?\u201d I tried again, hating the way the words tasted like vomit in my mouth and felt like noise to my ears. I shuddered at the thought of whatever pain she must\u2019ve been put through all in the name of suppressing her wolf.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And that thought\u2026 that thought alone made me want to kill myself and him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When I pulled out the silver knife from his thigh and pushed it into his ribs, he trembled, crying and coughing as the silver blade sizzled against his skin, poisoning him as well as hurting him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He cried; \u201cB-because she\u2019s a godforsaken hybrid!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
And at that, I froze.\u00a0<\/p>\n

My hand holding the knife paused around it and my eyes raised slowly to meet his. \u201cShe\u2019s what?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He sneezed, shaking violently. For a moment, he looked like he wouldn\u2019t speak but one look at my face had him rethinking his decision. He sputtered; \u201cA hybrid. She\u2019s part Lycan and part\u00a0<\/p>\n
wolf.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
It took me a moment for the weight of his words to finally settle, and even when it did, I still couldn\u2019t fully understand what the hell he was talking about. I couldn\u2019t wrap my head around how any of that was even possible.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut you are a werewolf and your wife is a werewolf too.\u201d I shot back in confusion.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, true!\u201d He wheezed painfully- almost feverishly. \u201cAnd that\u2019s why I hate her. She\u2019s a hybrid\u2026 a product of my wife\u2019s infidelity.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
1\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut she\u2019s Chalice\u2019s twin!\u201d I hissed, not understanding how any of that made any sense.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He dropped his gaze slowly and then shook his head, my body pulsing as he continued. \u201cYes, they are twins,\u201d he answered, his voice trembling, \u201c\u2026 but they are a rare result of heteropaternal superfecundation.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Heterochyma- what the fuck?\u00a0<\/p>\n
That sounded like gibberish. Absolute gibberish.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018Or maybe you\u2019re just not smart enough to understand.\u2019 My wolf sneered in my mind, causing my already soaring anger to spike even higher.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My eyes flashed with rage as I rose slowly, watching the way his blood silently poured out of the open cuts on his body.\u00a0<\/p>\n
-And I intend to bleed him out if he doesn\u2019t\u00a0<\/p>\n
explain what the fuck he was trying to say to me like I was a child with a half fried brain.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I hissed. \u201cI don\u2019t understand what that is.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt means that about t-twenty four years ago, my\u00a0<\/p>\n

wife was intimate with me and another man at\u00a0<\/p>\n
around the same time\u2026 and surprisingly, she was\u00a0<\/p>\n
able to conceive with both of our children.\u201d He\u00a0<\/p>\n
rasped, causing my frown to deepen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I have never ever heard of something like that happening.\u00a0<\/p>\n
By the gods, this was a first.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I took a step back to process the things I\u2019d just heard him say and in a voice so small, I could barely even hear myself, I asked;\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd the man\u2026 the other man\u2026 Leilani\u2019s father, is\u00a0<\/p>\n
a Lycan?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He nodded, but I didn\u2019t miss the flash of\u00a0<\/p>\n
annoyance in his eyes before he tried to hide it. Or the way his hands balled into tight fists as he gritted out; \u201cYes. He was not just a Lycan Alpha, he was a dark knight.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I froze. 2\u00a0<\/p>\n
