Chapter 284: Flashback - 24
Silas’s POV
I don’t know why I behaved like that with Damon, but yes, I don’t want to talk to anyone for now. This is something new I am feeling, and it’s my first time killing so many people, but I am not feeling any guilt or anything. It’s just that I feel hollow inside.
But when I saw Dad, my tears didn’t stop. In his arms, I felt safe—that yes, when he is with me, I don’t think I will have to worry about my safety or anything. I believe my dad can even kill the Grim Reaper for me. He is the strongest.
"What, Silas? Why are you crying, my son? And your clothes?" I just kept pressing my face against his chest and gripped him tightly because I didn’t want to let him go at all. He was also patting my head gently. I know he must be worried about me.
While hugging, when I turned my face to the other side, I saw Orian standing there. Tears were welling up in his eyes. I guess Orian was worried seeing me in this situation, but why is he crying? It’s not like I am dead. But that’s how family is.
"Actually, it’s my fault," when Damon’s words reached my ears, I glanced back after breaking the hug. Damon stepped forward and stood in front of Dad. But why is he saying it’s his fault?
"What do you mean by ’this is your fault’?" Dad asked. Of course, my dad was angry just by looking at my condition, and now Damon is saying it’s his fault. Now Dad is not going to let him go at all without asking him many questions. I was glancing at Damon when Orian came and hugged me. He wiped my tears, and we stood there.
"Actually, it was us who invited Silas into our pack, so it was our duty to keep him safe. But I failed to do that. I should have come to drop him off here at your pack, so this wouldn’t have happened."
Dad was confused hearing this, because of course, he had no idea what Damon was talking about or what had happened to me. That’s why I went and stood at Dad’s side. He glanced at me with a worried face. He wanted to ask me what happened, I know, but he didn’t ask because he didn’t want to hurt me by bringing it up.
