Darkness.
Fear.
Hatred.
Why did the world have to be like this? Why did Caspian have to turn on him? Why did he have to become an orphan and live beneath the shadows.
" Are you okay Machate?" Zayne's soft voice asked.
" Yes.....I am. Arghhh!" Machate yelled. " I'm not sure! I still know the difference from right from wrong. Yet, I still don't feel right. Why does the world have to be cruel and dark! Why Zayne! Just why........"
There was silence and Machate slowly started to sob.
" Riona had wanted me to bring you something." Zayne held a loaf of bread and placed it into Machate's cold hand. " Please eat. I have some good news. The Alpha has a son or Riona's younger brother. He is gravely ill...."
Machate started to nibble the dry excuse for bread. He looked up to Zayne's sad eyes. Though she had no pupils he could see the worry.
" His name is Briar I think I can heal his illness enough for him to be stable. This can make up develop a friendship between us and the Tribe."
A dim smile started to form on his face.
" Even this I don't think can solve the problem. "
" What problem.... " Machate regretted saying it. It was Riona she had matters of her own.
" Zayne?" It was Riona. Her voice low and silent.
" Yes?" Her head turned. He saw the glowing purple circles move away. Like how his mother's life slipped away from his reach, forever.
" I talked to Tybalt about healing Briar. Tybalt is immensely desperate for Briar's health. I am too, though if this situation were to happen to me he would care less."
"Why?" Machate asked. Riona turned her head and her expression softened.
" Why? Briar would be the Alpha. I can't because of my gender. I would just be married off. Zayne two guards are going to come tomorrow and don't try any tricks. I want my brother to live." Riona pleaded.
" What about Machate! I can't leave him behind!"
" Just convince them. Say if he doesn't come you won't do it." She turned her back about to walk away when she said something. " Also just one mistake and your both history." Then walked out the cell.
