Zoé's explanation aligned perfectly with the fact that Sebastian already knew, and filled in a lot of the blank spaces. The identity of the enemy Alpha still remained unknown to Sebastian, however he suspected Zoé knew who it was. As the woman continued along with her speech, Sebastian slowly forced himself to relax, standing behind Xerxes and Cassie to remain near Syleste and out of sight.
Sebastian wasn't entirely sure why, but an irresistible urge to protect Syleste had overcome him. Maybe it was because she was the only non-were, or perhaps that she was a Siren like him. Maybe her vulnerability with her blindness drew him to shield her, but the reason didn't matter. If he needed to, he would fight each were in that room to get her to safety.
As Zoé began to finish her speech, she made a gesture that made Sebastian's heart drop into his stomach.
“All but two of you are healed, aren’t you..? No pain… no injuries… and you know deep down, that you feel better than you ever have before in your entire lives… A wolf attack doesn’t leave you like that. It leaves you like this.” The Alpha motioned to the two Sirens, immediately and effectively alienating them as the odd ones out. Any hope of his identity remaining a mystery vanished the moment she pointed to them.
Sebastian's entire body tensed as he fought to keep the growing scream within his throat down. Every fiber in his body, every neuron in his brain, screamed
RUN.But no one moved on them; no one really even gave them more than a glance. They were all too preoccupied with their transformations and Zoé's commanding address to worry about the Sirens.
Gage moved across the room towards Xerxes and Syleste, gently taking her out of the doctor's arms.
"I'm sorry about... me." Gage spoke softly, shaking his head. Sebastian took an instinctive step forward as Syleste was taken away, however a glance from Gage reminded him of his place. The Siren lowered his eyes to the ground and moved backwards, pressing his back against the bed behind him.
"Gage... Gage, don't run." Aron's warning was ignored as Gage attempted to leave, however Quinton's presence immediately shut down any hopes Sebastian had of being able to walk out of the hospital room.
Panic once again overtook Sebastian as he forced himself not to let loose a scream that would burst eardrums.
Calm down! Pissing them off will only end up getting you killed! Fight it. Breathe. Be serene."Klamath Falls has always drawn the supernatural to it; species of all kinds. What Zoé is telling you is the truth. That was no ordinary wolf that attacked you all, but a Werewolf. Zoé is the alpha of her pack. By bringing you all here, she has claimed you all as her own, despite another being the one to turn you... and..." Xerxes voice commanded attention as he spoke to the pack, instructing them. As he spoke, Xerxes slowly began to undress, which unnerved Sebastian slightly. Any time he had seen a fully turned were, which had only been a couple of times in his life, clothing had been markedly scarce.
"I love you, Cassie. And I'll always protect you... Forgive me." The wings that sprouted from Xerxes' back took the Siren completely by surprise, causing him to release an audible gasp as the glorious wings flew into their position laying flat across the Angel's back.
"You used to call me your guardian angel when you were little... I've wanted to tell you a thousand times as to how right you were..."Cassie's reaction was tame, considering the given circumstances.
"Then why didn't you?" Cassie's voice was full of emotion, which pulled at Sebastian's heartstrings. Cassie was always sweet and soft, and it killed him to see her suffer.
"But...you're wrong, Dad. Zoe can't claim us...we have to claim her"Cassie's words commanded attention as she stepped towards the Alpha.
"My name is Cassandra Arvantis. And I am a werewolf. And you...are my Alpha" Sebastian watched in awe as Conner followed suit and pledged himself and Kaylee. Aron wasn't far behind, also giving his allegiance to Zoé.
Questions swam through Sebastian's head, mostly consisting of the confusion of the pack bonding he was witnessing, which he was pretty certain was quite unorthodox, and his place in it all. The fear of ending up just like his mother, dead at the claws of a Werewolf, filled him with uncertainty and dread, however he wasn't going to take it lying down, bleeding out in the middle of a hospital with no help.
Swallowing hard, Sebastian limped forward past Cassie and Xerxes towards Zoé. Syleste's presence was still acutely clear in the Siren's mind, however he had abandoned his unreasonable hope of fighting past the Alpha.
"I'm not a Werewolf," He began shakily, swallowing again before continuing.
"I... S-Sirens have no place in a pack. I don't belong here. We don't belong here."Sebastian forced himself to meet Zoé's eyes, staring into the crimson depths as panic began to rise in his throat again. The terror of facing an Alpha was clearly evident on his face, however he stood as tall as his broken form would allow him to.
"What do you want us to do?"
