"Well you're thankfully quiet today."

"I can't believe you want my dick jokes in this kind of crisis kid."

"Huh? I didn't say that you asshole. I said 'thankfully' are you deaf?"

"No, I'm hot and you're obviously too blind to see it."

"No, I'm just too SANE to see that."

"Well too bad then. They say that insane people get to see all the goodies."

"Baddies you mean. You're hideous."

"I'm fabulous."

"Hideous."

"Fabulous."

"Hideous."

"Fabulous."

"H-I-D-E-O-U-S."

"F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S."

"Fucking hideous!"

"Fucking hideous!"

"No you're not, you're fabulous!"

"HAH!"

"What? Wait, I mean- GAAAH Goddammit Cerberus!"

"Classic."

At the end of our bickering, I couldn't make myself stay frustrated with my wolf today. In truth, talking with this motherfucker was the only way that prevented me from losing my shit.

Being a dad to twelve kids, I had to look strong so that the little fuckers wouldn't cry because of fear of this situation that we were in. I still continued to scream at them, scold them, chase them, and all and all maintain our daily routine of madness but in truth, I was already shitting my pants.

The world was burning. We were placed inside a smoldering oven and the only thing that was keeping us from being burnt like Sciath's fried mojos was the power of the Glacier pack to form an ice barrier around the whole Kingdom. The ice in Antarctica was already melted. Every television station was down. At first I was relieved that Spongebob was still airing but once that it was replaced by a prayer to Jesus and followed by a blackout I knew we were fucked.

The cue to the end wasn't the prayer to Jesus.

It wasn't the water around the whole continent which became a sea of fire.

It wasn't the blackout.

It was the ceasing of the Spongebob show.

And yeah, Elim was missing.

What kind of dad was I to put that last?

"Fuck..."I sighed and attempted to wipe the wrinkles off my face with my hands only to leave it into a more deepening scowl.

I can't believe I was able to witness this. I didn't even believe in that shitty fiction book. In truth, I didn't even attend a single religious bonkers activity because seriously, I just don't see the point in it.

And now I was standing somewhere near the ignited St. Peter Basilica Church surrounded by burning humans, souls, and zombies.

Yes, zombies.

The scenery wasn't the most ideal for a honeymoon and just being with Kade in this horrid place made me hate this idiot even more.

We didn't have any leads regarding Elim. It was driving Ark crazy and because it was making Ark crazy, it was also making me realize how fucked up we were. It took me a lot of brain cells to let the information of my son missing. In those four years of taking care of every single one of them by changing their soiled diapers filled with shit and pee, wiping off their disgusting drool, feeding them, bathing them, and tucking them in bed the processing of the information was slow but once it did sink in me, it was so hard to accept.

I've had too many sleepless, sexless, and stressful days and nights just to be robbed of one of my sons. Sure, they were a pain in the ass but that didn't mean that I didn't want them. Fuck whoever he was who thought that it was fun toying us around.

How can someone worship a self-centered being who didn't even give a single fuck about what we all feel? I just don't get it. The stupidity was beyond Kade's.

I don't want to raise my family in this world.

It just wasn't family friendly.

Thomas called us after the intense Earthquake and said that they found where Lucifer and Samael were. I know that Elim was with them but I also know that it wasn't their fault. We were all being fucked here. It was no use doing the blame game at this point because at this point, we have all reached the time that those insane religious bonkers warned us about.

I just want to find Elim and bring him home. I don't know if there was a way to stop this but I knew that it was already hopeless. There was nothing for us to do. The world had already been consumed in blaze and pain.

A pain caused by their so called "God."

"I'll go with you," I immediately declared.

"We don't know if Elim is with him Luka, are you sure?" Thomas asked.

"Where else could he be Thomas? There's no other place where he could be. I don't want him to stay out there alone. I know he's scared and as his dad, I have to keep him safe, I have to bring him home," I firmly told him.

Elim was a sensitive kid. He never spoke and he was always afraid of something. The fact that I couldn't stop whatever was scaring the wits out of him made me feel so powerless. It was just like the time when Loki was taken from us.

"I'm proud of you. You're no longer a pussy. I will now reward you the dick of honor," Cerberus congratulated.

"Not the time you motherfucker, I'm having a moment here..." I gritted out.

Thomas, Coco, Lucian, Lucian number two, his fuck boys and a weird ass guy with pink hair were in our Kingdom. Keetan and the others went ahead and Thomas will follow them soon. Apparently, hell surfaced and brought with it the tortured souls and demons. It was just a matter of time before our Kingdom got infiltrated by demons.

A beam of white lights opened from the ceiling and two angelic beings that looked like Raphael came soaring down. Their landing caused a mild shake to the ground and a small gasp from one of Lucian's lovers was elicited.

You gotta be kidding me. I think I prefer the demons. Angels were like minions of God right?

The soldiers that guarded us prepared their spears but Lucian and his lovers didn't seem to be hostile.

Well heck, at least Lucian wasn't panicking. Maybe there was a chance that the world wasn't going to end at all.

Or maybe he was always the guy who didn't give a single fuck even if he was being chased by a guy with an axe.

"Mother? Father?" Raphael ran towards the two angelic figures and embraced them tightly. "How? I thought you were all detained..." the angel spoke in a trembling voice.

"We were released by Ariel," Raphael's mother said and returned the embrace. It was hard to believe that these guys were as old as fossils.

"Ariel?" Raphael questioned in disbelief.

"I didn't know that God had connections with Disney," Cerberus commented.

"Yes, we don't know why but, she let us free to see you," his father informed him and then turned to us. "What you are looking for, the child is in St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican."

What the-

"I didn't raise him to be religious. What the heck is he doing there?" I asked them.

Kade inched closer to me and then nudged me with his arm. "Ummm Alpha...Your anti-Jesus is showing up," he whispered.

I rolled my eyes at my moronic beta. "Satan is my kids' uncle. I don't think being an anti-Jesus is what you should be worried about."

Kade looked up in thought and then grinned sheepishly. "Oh yeah, right."

I turned my attention to Thomas and then grasped his rocky shoulder. "Take me there. I need to bring my son home."

"Be warned, he is not your son anymore. He belongs to the Almighty Father. He is the unspoken key that will open the doors of judgment. He neither knows you nor will he recognize you as his father. He is now a mere puppet."

What did he say?

"Oh now that does it! He is not that fucker's toy. We made him. I made him with my own sperm and effort and I'll be damned if I'll let some holy shit claim him as his! Come on kid, let's take our son home!" Cerberus growled.

"I'll come with you," Ark said. His eyes were teary and puffy with tears.

I took Ark in an embrace before looking at his mismatched eyes. I can't bring him with me. I don't know what was out there and I can't have my children lose both of their parents if it came to the worst scenario. They need at least one of us to be there for them. They need to hold on to a ray of hope no matter how slim it was even if there wasn't at all.

"I can't take you. You have to stay here. Our kids need you," I said which made Ark's lower lip tremble.

"But Elim is my son too. I want to take him home. I just can't send you out there alone!" he whimpered and clutched my shirt. I grasped Ark's shoulders and leaned my forehead against his.

It was hard.

We were going to get separated at this point and I don't even know if I can manage to return.

But I want to be able to come back.

I want to hold my family one last time before we die.

But I can't have a missing member. I want us complete. Elim had no one out there. All of us were here and I know that deep inside those dead eyes of his he wanted to go home.

"Don'tcha worry Your Highness! I'll come with Alpha here and make sure that our asses return without a hint of bite!" Kade assured and joined the hug causing me to scowl at him.

"Kade-!"

"I'll make sure to bring home Alpha and baby Elim, even it costs my life," he promised.

It was an unexpected pledge and it made me stare at the smiling idiot. How can he smile? How can he stay so positive when he put his life on the line like that?

I shoved Kade's head to the ground and made sure to stomp on his head in the process.

"Idiot! Don't act like a hero. You're coming with us! I won't let even an idiot like you die even if I wanted to strangle you every day!" I growled at him.

"Ow Alpha! Sheesh! Okay, Okay! I just wanted to sound cool for Sciath you know?!"

"If you're going to talk that way make sure that you do die after doing something productive," Sciath coldly spat.

"Papa!" I heard Cerby call. I turned around and found him staring up at me with teary eyes. "You're gonna come back right? With Elim?"

I bent down to his level and then ruffled his hair before pinching his nose. " Of course I will. I'm not a weak shit. So you better protect daddy and your little siblings while I'm gone you got it?" I reminded him and released his nose that was now reddened.

Cerby wiped his eyes and then hang his arms around my neck which was uncharacteristic of him. "Just come home okay? You still have lots to teach me. You know how to be as cool and strong as you!"

I felt my throat starting to swell and I could hear Cerberus break into a fit of cries.

"I don't wanna leave anymore! Oh Goddess why?!" my wolf wailed.

"OH SHUT UP! WHO'S THE PUSSY NOW?!" I growled at him.

"You are of course. Your Berber stands proudly and bravely like a dick. I will infiltrate even the strongest storms and thrust even in the harshest conditions."

"You're so fucked up..."

But now that we were standing in this burning shit place I really agree with Cerberus about not leaving. We were blessed by the angels' powers so that we were temporarily immune to the fire that we were surrounded with but it was hard to see through the blaze.

"Elim!" I shouted and moved through the burning bodies. It was a huge crowd. I was like searching for a piece of pubic hair in a haystack.

I can't believe I compared Elim to pubes.

"OH GOD WHY? I SERVED YOU ALL MY LIFE!"

"PLEASE FATHER, PLEASE SAVE ME! IT HURTS!"

"AHHHHHHH NO MORE! NO MORE!"

"M-MOMMY...MOMMY...IT HURTS...IT HURTS..."

This was really making me shiver. No one was spared from this. I could even hear an infant's cry through all this and it was a cry of pain. Everyone was looking and reaching up to the reddened skies. Everyone was searching for a way out from the excruciating pain from being burnt alive. A woman and her son embraced each other and she cried.

"PLEASE SPARE MY SON. PLEASE SPARE MY SON!"

The tall fire became shorter as we passed and I saw Elim standing at the top of the stairwell which led inside the establishment. He was holding a trumpet and he was staring aimlessly.

"Elim!" I yelled and ran. Kade followed suit.

Before I could take the last step of the stairs, a strong force shoved us away. I flipped through the air and fortunately, Kade was also able to land on his feet.

"He's being protected," Kade said.

"Fuck!" I cursed. This was making my blood boil. Of course, life wouldn't make it easy for us even if it was fucking us real bad already.

"Let's try and break whatever is surrounding him," I ordered Kade.

"Roger Alpha sir!" Kade replied enthusiastically.

I hate to say it but Kade's zesty personality was comforting me a little.

Just a little.

We gave the barrier strong punches, kicks, and head butts but to no avail every assault that we did gnaw us ten times worse. Whatever was protecting Elim was sending us back and each time, every shove was getting stronger and stronger.

It was making me frustrated as fuck.

Even Cerberus couldn't make a nasty remark.

I wiped the sweat covering my forehead and then charged ahead without warning Kade to do the same. I leaped up and skipped the flight of stairs. I expected to be blown away again but what surprised me was that I was able to land perfectly in front of Elim but with a small hand grasping my neck.

Elim's eyes that can be compared to a dead fish flashed bright and then showed me things that I never dreamed of seeing.

"Kade....Kade!" I screamed.

Kade had a spear stuck to his stomach. He was staked to the ground. My beta stared at me and he smiled. We were surrounded by angels and not the good kind. I didn't know how this happened or why my son was showing me this but one thing was for sure; my chest hurt so badly. I could feel the wetness of my cheeks and the soreness of my throat.

I felt every fucked up emotion hitting me all at once and they feel so real.

Kade weakly grabbed my hand and placed a ring on my palm.

"G-give it to Sciath...Ple-please."

"Kade, go home!" I screamed the order once the scenes stopped. Elim threw me away and I rolled down the stairs.

"Huh? No way, I'm not leaving you!"

"I said scram you fucker! You're gonna die!" I snarled at him. "That's an order!" I snapped and rose to my feet. "Return to Sciath. He may not look like it but he is worried about you. I can't have you die here," I said without looking back at him.

I clucked my tongue when the idiot took one step advance from me. "We're all gonna die anyway so I don't see the point in it," he retorted. "And as Sciath said, I can't return without doing something productive. I have to make him proud and also...I want to do something for you one last time."

I snapped my head at my beta and he was staring at me with dedicated eyes. "This is the last time I'll fight alongside you Alpha and as your second hand; I'll do everything in my power to bring Elim and you safe back home!"

My eyes started to sting and I heard my wolf chuckle. "That's one dedicated kid. So, what are you gonna do as Alpha kid? Are you gonna send him home and fail the person who dedicated his life in serving you or are you going to let him fight alongside you till the last breath?" Cerberus asked me.

"Tsk...You're an idiot," I sighed.

I extended my fist and let it hang there and then smirked at him. "Fine, do whatever you want."

Kade's face brightened up and he hit my fist with his. "I won't let you down!"

I felt a surge of energy when I saw Kade's eyes turn red. The fire around us began to seep inside my body and a swarm of what seemed to be beetles flew above us. My mind and Kade's mind worked together and we agreed on one thing: Break the barrier and survive.

Kade hid somewhere as I continued to fill the gauge. The beetles formed in front of me as the pressure inside me rose. This heat was excruciating. It was the kind of energy that wasn't good to take in unlike any normal fire.

This was hellfire after all.

The last thing I heard before passing out was a huge explosion. I didn't know what exactly happened but the plan that we formed in our minds was to coat those beetles in fire while they hit the barrier.

"Alpha..."

"Alpha!"

"Alpha!"

My eyes snapped open and the sound of burning, the smell of something burning, and the agonizing screams of the people and souls burning that surrounded us once again filled my senses. Kade was kneeling beside me with an unconscious Elim in his arms and the silver trumpet in his hand.

I sat up and then immediately took Elim from him.

"What happened?" I asked.

"When the beetles attacked the barrier, it didn't destroy it completely. I noticed that Baby Elim was really protective with the trumpet so instead of me snatching him, I snatched the trumpet and he instantly fainted," Kade said. "We have to keep him away from this. I'll look for a place to hide it. I tried breaking the thing but it was really sturdy," he told me.

"I'll come with you," I said.

Kade grinned at me. "Nah Alpha, go home to your family, you have Baby Elim now."

"Idiot, like I told you-"

"Yeah yeah, I know, I won't die," he laughed. "But if I don't manage to get back sooner, can you give this to Sciath?" he requested and brought out the ring that I saw from the dream.

I furrowed my eyebrows at him and shoved him back by pushing his forehead. "You give that to him. Make sure to hurry up, we'll be waiting."

"Oh come on!"

"Heh, are you complaining? If you don't make it fast, I'll find someone to replace you."

Kade looked horrified at the thought of not becoming my beta anymore. "It's judgment day Alpha!"

"Uhuh, clock is ticking," I said smugly.

Kade groaned and then grabbed the pendant that Thomas gave us for teleporting. I also have one in case that the two of us got separated. "Wait for me Alpha!" he cheered.

I waved at him and watched him disappear. Once he was completely gone, I sighed and embraced Elim tightly. "Take care you idiot."

I returned home with Elim in arms and was greeted by Ark and our kids. I looked at Sciath and found him searching for a specific idiot. I greeted Ark and my kids back with a kiss before conversing with Sciath.

"Are you looking for Kade?" I asked him.

Sciath made a face of disgusts and looked away. "Why would I search for that idiot?"

"Are all the characters here tsundere?" Cerberus huffed.

"He'll come back. Don't worry," I assured.

"I'm not," he arrogantly snapped.

Yeah, I know he was. If I was worried then Sciath was ten times feeling worse because he was Kade's mate. 

Kade...

That motherfucking beta of mine...

This was the second time around that I'll praise him but I had this feeling that Kade would end up doing something amazing. It was really a strong feeling. I don't know. It was too hard to believe that our plan worked but even if I wasn't faithful to God I still had a strong faith to-

"The Goddess," Cerberus finished.

Yeah, I know that the Goddess was still watching us. She always was.
