Knave of Heaven and Earth

Chapter Eight: Something New

"Get away from them!"

Damian shouted as he shifted and charged towards the annoyed Aitken. Aitken winged himself out of the raging wolf's way but the large only followed him as he soared across the sky. Damian is using his gift Levitation. Do all werewolves have a special ability?

Aitken is now irritated.

Damian chased the winged Aitken as fast as he can. When he saw his subordinates in a state that he never thought will ever happen, the strong desire to protect them kicked him hard. Even though he knew that his opponent is a very powerful creature, he needs to protect his comrades. It's a wolf thing.

Alex and Margaux came to the group of younger werewolves to help them but their gaze is on Aitken. Alex shook his head and checked the teenagers, "Are you okay? What happened here?"

"It was my fault. I confronted him. God I am so stupid." Harley frustratedly answered.

"Why did you confronted Aitken?" Margaux questioned.

Tyson, with a deep sigh he didn't knew he was holding answered, "W-We found out he's a hybrid of an angel... a-an theoretically a d-devil."

"What!" Alex and Margaux exclaimed at the same time.

"Enough!" Shouted the vexed Aitken with a powerful and authoritarian voice. Damian, with his rank and authority, was overwhelmed by Aitken and so he stopped his assaults.

"Aitken! Come down here! Let's talk!" It's Alex. Aitken was hesitant at first but gladly follows. It's supposed to be vacation and have fun together.

Damian too descended but his focus is on Aitken and still on the qui vive.

"You're looking good today Aitken." Margaux greeted without her usual style.

"Thank you Margaux. So what are we going to talk about?" Aitken said calmly.

"Aitken, I was hoping that you could stop being aggressive?" Alex is clearly nervous facing such powerful individual even though he knew it is still Aitken.

Aitken was slightly offended. "Me? Aggressive? That's nonsense! It was not me who aggressively confronted someone. I am just defending myself."

"That's true but they are just kids. Kids do not know what they are doing. So if you could come with us back in the pack house, we could sort this out without anyone hurting." Alex tried to defend them, but it was a wrong move.

"You're taking their side aren't you?" Aitken accused Alex and before Alex could rebut, he continues, "I know where this is going. You'll ask me to stay within the pack and use me as a leverage to others. I'm so disappointed in you Alex. I thought we were friends."

"We are friends Aitken!" Alex reasoned out.

"I thought this was going to be a good and fun vacation." Aitken said with a hurt look on his face.

"It can still be like that Aitken. We can go shopping and sightseeing. We can eat all the things we haven't tasted yet. We can experience the one's we haven't experienced yet. So if you could just come back to us and talk this out with the Alpha." Margaux informed him but Aitken is not buying it.

"You know it can't be like that. After the world finds out about me, things will change and my life will never go back the same." Aitken voiced out.

Sadness swallowing him. He just wanted to be normal. He just wanted to have a normal life. He didn't ask to be special. If he could just turn back time. Aitken was about to flee when more wolves came and one of them is the Alpha.
