Kaden Smith. The Future Alpha of the Saraya Pack. He had it all- money, power, a loving family, everything. Strikingly handsome and the best fighter in the Pack
But all that changed in a single night. His entire pack was slaughtered and he was left...
Whatup y'all!!! Your author-nim is back after a long hiatus. Don't be mad at me. I forgot the name of my account. Can you fricking believe that. I'm soo dumb like what the hell even was that, god!!
Azel's POV
It's been three days since Kaden made me take him to the Pack.
Three days since he saw his home burned to the ground.
Three days since I carried him, trembling and crying, back to my house.
Three days since he had uttered a single word, or even came out of the room.
I saw it. The moment when the realization of everything hit him all at once. The denial he had been forcing on himself and the false hope he so desperately held on to, all crumbled away in an instant.
The pain I could feel through the bond was almost unbearable. And to imagine that it was only a minuscule amount of what he was going through makes it even more excruciating.
More than the loss of his family, the loss of his pack was taking a toll on him. The Alpha in him was slowly crumbling down and I couldn't even feel the presence of his wolf.
He doesn't talk, or cry, or scream or.... do anything. And this catatonic state of his is scaring me more than anything ever has.
"Kaden. Please, you need to eat."
He doesn't even spare a glance.
"Kaden...."
I have to do something, or he'll probably die from grief, or starvation or something else. And the mere thought of him dying fills me with an uncomfortable sense of sadness.
Besides if my assigned mate dies, I won't have anything to stay here for. The dark source of my life energy will dissipate into nothing.
No, I have to keep him, no, both of us alive.
I gently place my palm on his chest, right above his heart. Closing my eyes, I try to pinpoint all the obstructive emotions in his mind. His anger, his sadness. His pain. I find them and slowly consume them.
It was quite tedious and draining. I was used to spreading the darkness and contaminating people's psyche. Not bringing it into myself.
But it has to be done.
After a while, Kaden collapses against me. His eyes fluttered shut. I gently lay him back on the bed before pulling the covers up on him.
The pain and anguish I had just absorbed from him preventing me from truly appreciating his calm face as he slept contently.
I need to let this out. And fast.
I rush out of the room and rummage through the drawers.
Where the fuck is it!!
The negative emotions swirling within me threatening to escape and go back to it's owner.
I frantically search until I find what I was looking for.
A black metal pendant with a ruby in the center of it, like a heart.

As beautiful as it looks, there couldn't be anything more ominous than this. It was like a storehouse for dark energy and in the wrong hands it could bring disastrous results.
I carefully transfer all that pent up negativity into it and seal it shut.
That's better now.
With all those suffocating feelings out of the way, he'll be able hold on.... for now.
