"No, please…I'll do anything!"

Gold stared at the demon's tear streaked face, to be honest he didn't know demons could cry, not that he actually gave a fuck.

"Just tell me where the Irene is being kept and I'll let you live"

The demon's hair was covered in blood and it soaked his shirt as well making the old color unrecognizable. Obviously he had been tortured for quite a while, his lips were cracked and there was a gaping hole in his chest, yet…

"Anything….anything but that!" He begged, Gold tsked in annoyance. He was known as the patient one among his siblings but now he was starting to lose it. He'd been trying to get this info for hours now and yet the only thing about the demon that has cracked are his lips and skull.

Gold's golden eyes glowed in anger, he ran a hand through his golden hair, frustrated, taking deep breaths trying to calm himself. The last thing he wanted to do was go all Alpha on the demon as his sister Jenner always put it.

"You…you are a Child Of Cullen…you protect the supernatural, keep the balance…you can't kill me" The demon's eyes shone in hope, convinced he just found a loophole.

Gold chuckled "I think you're confusing me with my siblings…"

The demon's eyes widened in fear, they soon turned bright red as he tries to attack Gold with his claws. Gold stared at the claws of the Demon that were now going straight for his throat, a dark chuckle escaped his lips as he easily dodged the attack, grabbed the demon's hand and twisted it in an odd angle making him scream out in pain.

"Please, p-please" he begged, Gold shook his head at him.

"Just tell me where the Irene is, that's all I need to know"

"I…" The demon hesitated, he struggled to free his hand even though he knew it was hopeless. The man in front of him had a small smile on his face, his golden eyes soft and comforting, he looked so gentle and kind yet…

"Tell me…and I'll let you go"

His voice was low, calm. The opposite of what was going through the demon's mind.

"New Orleans…" The demon said reluctantly under his breath.

"Louder, I can't hear you" Gold says as he lets go of the demon's hand straightening out the wrinkles on his suit as he stood to his full height. The demon who was currently on the floor looked up at him, tears slipping out of his eyes wetting his already wet face.

"New Orleans, the Irene is being kept there…in a club called The Clover. It is being protected by the Lucifer's right hand…it will be impossible to get it" The demon sobbed out the last few words.

"P-please you have to protect me…they'll find out I'm the one who told you and then they'll kill me!" He begged as he grabs Gold's pants leg desperately.

Gold smiled, wider than before. "Do you know who I am?"

The demon's brows furrowed in confusion but he still replied "You are Gerald Gideon….the Alpha and Sun of The Midnight Pack"

Gold's smile wavered at the sound of his full name, all he wanted to hear was the title…

"Exactly…since you know who I am, do you know what that means?" Gold asks as he takes of his suit jacket and begins to roll up the sleeves of his dress shirt.

The demon shook his head, not knowing the answer to the question. It earned him a chuckle from the werewolf, Gold squatted till he was the same height with the shivering demon.

"It means you're already dead, smile"

The second the words left his lips, the demon's head was separated from his body, fell to the floor and rolled towards the door. A disturbing sight to see yet the man who stood in front of the body had a smile on his face…a gentle one.

"Holy shit! What happened here?"

Gold turned to stare at his brother Pedro, his eyes were slightly wide as he stared at the severed head of the demon.

"I thought we were supposed get information from him?" Pedro asks as he takes a large step away from the head and towards his brother. Gold was panting, he took a deep breath trying to calm his breathing.

"He attacked me…I had no choice" Gold explains as he brings out a small white cloth from his pocket and wipes his bloody hands.

"Geez…" Pedro sighs examining the body "He should have known better"

Gold nods, anyone who wasn't human already knew the strength of the Children Of Cullen. It would be suicide to try to go against anyone of them as not many live to tell the tale.

"He says there's a club in New Orleans called The Clover, my guess is it is one of those barrier covered hideouts for the Fallens under Lucifer because it seems the person in charge is Damien" Gold sighs suddenly feeling quite exhausted. The events of the day were now weighing down on him.

"Ugh…Damien" Pedro groans in annoyance.

"That sounds like a job for the girls" Pedro chuckles as he taps his finger on the wall of the room. It quickly catches on fire and soon the whole room is set ablaze, burning what's left of the demon.

"I think Cullen will see that we have worked enough for today, I don't think I can take raiding another Demon Den this week" Pedro sighs

"Cullen has been so desperate and strict about the Irene…I can't help but feel that there is something behind it" Gold speaks out his thoughts as they leave the building.

"Yeah…I also thought about it as well, he never rushes us into missions as dangerous as this. Something has to be up"

Both brothers watch the flames consume the entire building once they were out. Both of them lost in their own thoughts, they leave once they notice the humans making a fuss, so as to prevent any complications.

The first thing Gold does once he walks into the house is take a hot shower. He makes sure the water is hot enough to scald his skin and then stays under the running water from quite sometime.

He has lost count of the number of people he has killed but it doesn't stop him from feeling like crap afterwards. He gets this numbing feeling in his chest and he feels that soon enough it would spread throughout his entire body but he knows he can't stop. Killing is like a drug to him and even though he would never admit it, he loved the numbing feeling it gave.

Ever since Cullen took him in, he always felt this way. He has no choice, to be a Child Of Cullen was the same as turning off all of your emotions…becoming a robot and only showing his emotions to his siblings.

He already has experience with that though, even though he changed his name, he still couldn't erase his past…not that he would ever want to if he was giving a chance. His past made him…broke him.

He was still the Alpha of his pack, he made sure to attend to his duties even though he was far away, the only purposes he has in life is to repay his debt to Cullen and make sure his pack gets much stronger and protected….to reach his goal and to achieve his purpose, he would no longer be Gerald Gideon but Gold Cullen.

"Are you having an internal monologue with yourself again?"

"What the fuck Jenner, get the fuck out!" Gold yelled out in surprise, Jenner giggled making him huff in annoyance.

"I don't wanna…you have quite a nice ass" she says giving his backside a light smack.

"Jenner you don't get out now, God help me I will have you for dinner!" Gold growled out as he quickly reached for his towel and wrapped around his waist.

"Jeez, that would be incest dear brother…although-"

"Don't finish that sentence, just get out"

Jenner giggles as she exits the bathroom with Gold following behind her while glaring daggers at her back. This wasn't the first time this had happened and he knew that this wouldn't be the last.

"You really need to stop coming in to my room without knocking"

"Oh please…" Jenner brushes him off as she sits on his bed and makes her self comfortable. "Its not like I haven't seen you naked before"

Gold chuckles as he goes into the walk in closet and chooses the clothes he would wear.

He stays silent knowing that their discussion would just end with Jenner accusing him of incest despite the fact that both of them aren't blood related…neither are any of the Children of Cullen. The five of them all came from different backgrounds…countries, continents.

Yet their bond is stronger than most actual siblings, they all grew up together. While Gold was taken in by Cullen at the age of fourteen almost twelve years ago, Pedro was the next to be added to the family two years after, then came Clara the same year and then eight years ago, eleven-year-old Jenner was added to the family as well.

Gold was told that there had another before him, the true first born of Cullen but yet none of them had ever set eyes on her.

"Cullen says he wants to see everybody before we all leave"

"Leave to where?" Gold asks confused, he didn't have any other plans for the day.

"New Orleans!"

Jenner says rather excited, the exact opposite of the expression on Gold's face. "Didn't Pedro tell you?" she asks confused by his reaction.

"Shit…"

he mutters under his breath.
