Then Jadyn looked at the half burned face of the man who had spoken, he suddenly felt fearful as childhood memories and nightmares came back to him all at once. All he tried to forget came back to him and the memory was as clear as yesterday. The night when he had woken up and starred straight into the eyes of this man who stood here. He had had a knife, much like Zephyr's now that he thought about it, and he had been ready to send Jadyn to the departed realm. In what had felt like the very last moment Jadyn's father had rushed into the room and thrown a ball of fire at the man's face. And Jadyn had watched in horror as the man cried out as his face was ablaze... Then it had gotten worse, in the chaos some fire flew at Jadyn's own face, it wasn't as bad as it was the man who had attacked him, but to Jadyn, especially how young he was, it was the worst thing ever. The man had jumped out the window and ran off into the night. It had taken Jadyn hours to stop screaming, weeks to heal, and years to stop being afraid. The image of the man with the damaged face had haunted him ever since.

" Now you, how ironic, you remember me, don't you? " Said Alpha slowly. Jadyn felt like he had just drank from the Toxic Bogs and then went on a roller coaster. He couldn't think straight, and although he screamed at herself to move in his head he couldn't move, or even force herself to talk to save his own life. Alpha didn't wait for him to reply, instead he must have read the terrified look on Jadyn's face. " So you do remember, I'm impressed considering how young you were. Let's see. " He suddenly picked Jadyn up by the neck of his red gi and lifted him him off the ground. Jadyn's legs still wouldn't move, so he hung limp in Alpha's grasp. Alpha was surprisingly strong, he used his free hand to brush aside some of Jadyn's red hair to reveal most of his scar.
" I figured you would be scarred for life just like me. You know, I remember you most of the time when I look in mirror or anytime really that I'm reminded of how I was scarred that night, I imagine you probably remember me every time you remember your's too. It's ironic that it all ends today after triteen years of suffering and wishing I hadn't taken the time to wake you up first instead of finishing you while I had the chance. "

" So you agree? He should live among the pack. " Said Zechariah in unreadable tone. Alpha was silent again for long while, he seemed to be thinking some more about it. Jadyn didn't dare move, especially since it seemed whatever choice was made would decide whether he'd smash or live another day.
" Fine. But you are in charge of him when he's not on missions and you are to teach him our ways so he can function with us in the short time he is here. " Said Alpha finally. Jadyn couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He wondered what Alpha ment by missions though.
" Thank you father. " Said Zechariah.
" I suppose it's the least I can do to convince you I'm capable of mercy. But remember not to get to attached to him. " Said Alpha.
