Part Two: Ch. 48

"Are you sure you're ready for this?" Kane questioned.

"Yeah, it'll be great." Tatum mumbled.

Kane grabbed a hold of Tatums arm, stopping him. "Tate.. I'm being serious. You do not have to do this.." Kane gently squeezed Tatums' shoulder. "You're a little brother to me and I just want to make sure you're okay with this.."

Tatum gave him a reassuring smile. "I appreciate it, Kane. I truly do and trust me when I say that I'm perfectly fine. Yeah, Vlad hovered over me like one of those psycho mothers and protected me from practically everything but I've seen and did shit."

"No, trust me I know. I watched you and Jasper eat Miles whole but I'm talking about coming face to face with the man who killed your father." Kane explained.

"Vlad isn't dead." Tatum scoffed while walking away. Kane just rolled his eyes while following after him.

Tatum made his way towards a rusted steel door. "Can I have the key?"

Kane let out an annoyed sigh while handing over the key. "Just give me a heads up before you rip any body parts off so you don't get any blood on me. Trixie will kick my ass if I get my clothes stained again."

"Fucking nerd." Tatum snorted while unlocking the door.

"Oh, I'm soooorrrrry! You try dealing with a hormonal pregnant woman." Kane scoffed.

"Sure, we'll use the pregnancy as the excuse." Tatum chuckled.

"Whatever." Kane mumbled.

Tatum flipped on a light switch, once entering the room, revealing Sebastian chained to two steel poles by each hand in the middle of the room.

Sebastian flinched slightly from the sudden light. "Ahh.. I've been waiting for this moment." Sebastian let out a weak chuckle.

"I just want to talk to you and if I'm not satisfied with how you respond then I'm going to hurt you." Tatum stated, nonchalantly while wrapping his hands in white gauze and bringing over some unknown utensils.

Sebastian just laughed but stopped short when Tatum sent a hard punch to his mouth. "Fuck!" Sebastian growled.

"Now.." Tatum cleared his throat. "Let us get this party started." Tatum reached forward, grabbing a hold of Sebastians' battered t-shirt and started to rip it. Tatum jumped back with a hiss while Kane let out a growl. "What the fuck did you do!?!" Tatum roared.

Sebastian threw his head back with a laugh. "Just made a small deal.."

Tatum grabbed a fist full of Sebastians' hair holding his head back. "Who's the target?" Tatum roared while punching Sebastian in the face. Tatum didn't give Sebastian a chance to answer before sending more punches to his face, adding a few knee kicks to his stomach. "Who's the fucking target!?" Tatum growled.

Sebastian let out a very weak laugh. "I don't.. know what you.. are talking about.."

"Don't play dumb with us." Kane snarled. "I know exactly who that burnt claw mark belongs to and what it means. So who is his hit?" Kane growled through gritted teeth.

Sebastian let out a tired sigh. "Did you know that if his target has a mate, the mate is automatically a target as well?"

Kane and Tatum both let out a growl. "Who is it?" Kane stepped forward while punching Sebastian hard, sending his head sideways. Sebastian let out a hard breath while spitting out some bloody teeth.

"The reaper knows he can't kill you so he took the next best thing." Sebastian smiled weakly.

Kane visibly gulped. "Who is it?"

Sebastian lazily threw his head back while glancing up at Kane. "What's your sons name again.. Vincent?"

Kane let out a sinister, feral growl while ripping Sebastian from his chains. "My son is not the target!" Kane roared while shaking Sebastian.

"You really think I wouldn't have some sort of back up plan?" Sebastian snorted. "Kill me if you must but that won't stop the reaper from collecting his soul."

"I'm not going to kill you." Kane snarled. "I'm going to keep you here, locked up for the rest of your days, fucking rotting for eternity. Getting skulled fucked." Kane gritted out. Kane dropped Sebastian while turning around and grabbing a hold of Tatum and pulling him away.

"Wait.. what the hell is happening?" Tatum growled while getting dragged towards the door.

Kane swung the door up open, revealing an old friend. "He's all yours." Kane nodded to Frank.

A sinister smile grew on Franks' face while eyeing Sebastian. "Thank you, my King." Frank bowed his head slightly.

"He stays here." Kane ordered while pulling Tatum further away.

Tatum watched Frank enter Sebastians' closed off cell. "Wait, that's your s-sex demon?"

Kane stopped pulling Tatum and quickly turned to face him. "Yes and I'm sorry you didn't get to ask him any questions."

"Nah, it's okay." Tatum shrugged. "Honestly.. I don't have that much anger towards him.. it wasn't my kingdom that was lost or.."

"It was your father that died.." Kane interrupted while continuing up the stairs.

"My father is Vlad." Tatum gritted.

"Yes but Thadieum was your birth father." Kane convinced him.

"Yeah, my *birth* father.." Tatum scowled. "I'm sick of people acting like Vlad isn't my dad!"

"You're being so dramatic." Kane snorted. "There is no way in hell that anyone could ever replace Vlad or even act like Vlad isn't your father. You're such a cry baby."

"Whatever." Tatum scoffed.

"I need to go find Vinny." Kane started up the stairs. "Let Set know about the reaper?"

"Yeah, of course." Tatum reassured.

"Vincent!!" Kane shouted the second he bursted through his front door.

"I'm getting dressed!" Vincent shouted back from his bedroom. Kane didn't care as he ran into his room. "Dad!!" Vincent nearly squealed while quickly pulling his jeans on. "What the hell?" Kanes' eyes roamed over Vincent before landing on a few small bruises on his chest. Vincent quickly slapped his hands over his chest. "What!!" Vincent shouted.

"Do any of those hurt?" Kane questioned while he started poking each one.

"Stop it!" Vincent whispered, yelled while swatting his fathers hands away.

"They don't hurt?" Kane asked again.

"No, Dad! They're hickies.." Vincent blushed. "Why?"

"Just looking for a mark.. It'll be on your chest or neck area.." Kane mumbled to himself.

"Mark for what?" Vincent scowled.

"Where is Lennon?" Kane asked, ignoring his son.

"The shower.." Vincent mumbled while nodding towards his bathroom.

"Okay, tell Lennon that I'm sorry but his surprise for you has to be postponed." Kane started to explain. "Also you two aren't allowed to leave this wing, our wing."

"Wait, why? What happened at the meeting??" Vincent asked, a little panicky.

"No, baby.. The meeting lasted like five minutes." Kane reassured. "I'll explain everything later, okay?"

"Okay?" Vincent frowned while watching his father leave. Vincents' head turned towards the bathroom when he heard the shower turn off. Vincent watched as his mate walked out with only a towel wrapped around his waist. "Well, hello mate.." Vincent purred.

Lennon blushed while staring down at the floor. "Hi.." Lennon whispered.

"Baby.." Vincent whispered while glancing at his bedroom door. "Lets stay in.. watch some movies and cuddle.. make sweet ooorr rough love." Vincent grinned while wrapping an arm around Lennons' waist.

"But.. your surprise..?" Lennon frowned.

Vincent let out a heavy sigh while nuzzling his nose in Lennons' neck. "We can't leave, somethings going on so my dad said we can't leave.."

"Oh okay.." Lennon smiled softly. "This weekend then?"

"Whatever you want, baby."
