LIMITLESS

For reasons unknown to him, Morphine's unwavering fury brought Seraphim a bit of joy. It was exactly what she had deserved. The bitch had been asking for it since day one, and karma had finally reared its ugly head and taken a bite. The power she had yearned for and finally reclaimed was wrenched from her grasp in one fell swoop, as retribution for her mistakes.



Pride surged through him as he noted his daughter's reaction to the ex-queen's fury, but he couldn't allow her to become the subject of Morphine's wrath. It was his burden alone to bear. He gently reached out a paw and pushed lightly back on Devya's chest, a choice to ensure her security.



The woman hoped to anger him, but he wouldn't allow it. Seraphim was far wiser than to let her words get to him. She talked a big game, but she was weak now. A chuckle escaped him and he shook his head. His narrow gaze returned to the silvery one that bore into him, but this time it was accompanied by a rare smirk from the brute. Oh, Morphine.



Despite the smirk he let cross his features, his voice remained neutral. It should matter little who I pledge my allegiance to. You have no pack and as I said before I owed you nothing. I gave you children, the thing you wanted to bring about your reign. You let it collapse all on your own. Could you expect the three pack members you managed to get to follow a powerless queen? He paused, his only movement a flicker of his tail. Was my choice to remain in Tortuga with Newt based on angering you? No, but of course I knew it would. I just didn't care.



He glanced again toward his daughter, then toward Ares, who remained patiently waiting behind his mother. What would he think after this conversation was over?



If you wish to rip a hole in my heart, I invite you to try, but it will be mine and mine alone.
