Here's the thing about Mr. Maldonado.

He's a murderer. He has been arrested multiple times and sentenced almost every year of Kirstin's existence. He was known as the deadliest murderer in California because he killed anyone whenever he could. He gave them no mercy and killed them right away. In his lifetime, he has probably killed around fifty people.

There's a catch though.

He is hired by people to kill those who hurt them. He helped the victims seek revenge on their perpetrator. He helped the hurt and killed the hurting. He stopped at nothing to kill those who hurt others. It's his job.

There have been some instances were people lie so someone that they didn't like asked him to murder them. He always found out that they lied and refuses to kill the person. He had never killed anyone on accident because he knew when people lied. It was an intuition.

That's why he is having a hard time believing Kirstin. She was raised wonderfully by her mother and the same with him if he wasn't in jail. She was never neglected or abused anyone yet she lied to have others hurt. She was suspended from school militia times for beating up other Betas if they corrected her or called her out on her behavior. She was so viscous and it scared both him and Anjelica.

What if she is lying? What do I do?

"Dad!"

"Yes, love?" He asked, looking over at his daughter. Her arms were crossed, causing him to nod. "What happened? Is everything okay?"

"I'm just wondering when you will stop behind an idiot and just stare at the road. How could I be so smart when I have the world's dumbest parents?!"

"That's no way to talk to us," he scolded his daughter, shaking his head. Even at twenty five, she has a terrible attitude. "Why are you so cruel?"

"I learned from the best."

Mr. Maldonado shook his head, wanting to pull this car over so he could slap his daughter on the back k his head. When will she learn to be kind? Nobody's ever done anything to her before!

"Are we almost in L.A? I'm antsy. Also, I want you to kill Mom."

"I'm not doing that, Kirstin. You've been telling me to do that since you were ten. Your mom never did anything to you."

"She forced you to divorce with her. She kicked out my murder partner."

"I only kill people who hurt others terribly."

"Your job is boring."

He rolled his eyes, wanting nothing more than to smack some sense into Kirstin. She obviously needs a lesson or two about how to act like a Beta.

"I kill people for fun."

He widened his eyes, look over at his daughter. She had a smirk on her face, taking the knife out of her bag. She looked over at him, her smile full of malice and the need to start violence. He looked away, trying his best not to cry when he made a realization.

A realization that was tragic to him, but a possible miracle for everyone else.

I have to kill my daughter.

"I saw him."

Avi nodded, still wanting to hurt Scott for abandoning Mitch and their family. He looked back at the blond, frowning when he saw tears gathering in the Lead Alpha's eyes. He walked up to him slowly, tilting his head while doing so.
