Great Mistake.

Following the start-up of Canis Tech, Alexander began to leave home more often. He usually used magic to trick Miki and Gorou into not minding his absence. They were not hurt by it, but he did feel bad to be tricking them. However, this needed to be done for their own safety.

For the next 5 months, Alexander and Ragnarok continued their relentless training. They both even managed to grow their third set of tails which caused some changes. For one, it became easier to control the Berserker Armor and Dark Star Saber.

It even made his werewolf form grow even stronger and larger. Their magic even became easier to control which was part of the powers they gained. He still had no grand enemy to release this power against so he simply helped with his company.

The grand release of Alexander's creation was set in two weeks. The paperwork was endless, but Alexander was finishing it all before it had a chance to pile up. Currently, Alexander and Cleria sat in his office each going through several piles of such reports.

As this was a very safe office on the floor he placed a blanket and set Shina on it with some toys. Of course, Ragnarok was laying next to her using his three fluffy tails to play with the baby. This gave Miki and Gorou some much-needed rest from her crying.

While she played with the wolf, Alexander felt quite at ease. His black and purple ears twitched on his head while his three tails wagged in his chair. Cleria from time to time looked over as they looked so fluffy. His black fur shined like Darkest Night and the purple seemed to glow in the dark.

However, what truly got her attention was how fast he was at paperwork. Alexander had the papers in the air and he seemed to be reading them all, signing some and rejecting others. However, what confused her was why he was so dang good at it. Sure she had to do this before, but how was this fair?

"How are you this good? I am 123 years old and even I am not this good?"

Alexander did not glance over and just gave his answer.

"Experience and difference in ability."

She squinted her eyes at him.

"Aren't you 13?"

He just smirked as he got done with his pile.

"Sure. If it makes you happy."

She paused.

"Was that flirting?"

He shook his head.

"Far from it. If I really wanted to flirt with you, you would know. Besides, I am not into cucking others. I ain't that messed up."

He got up from his chair and picked Shina up from the blanket. She wrapped her little arms around his neck while Ragnarok walked to his side. Alexander hid his wolf features while Ragnarok got rid of his two extra tails to hide.

"Cleria, be seeing you."

She nodded as they teleported away to Miki and Gorou's house. When he arrived at the front door something seemed off. Ragnarok growled at the house as his three tails emerged with lightning crackling off his body.

Alexander bared his teeth as the Berserker Armor covered him from head to toe. He held Shina as if she was a delicate treasure, but her eyes were focused on the black wolf helmet that covered her brother's face.

However, there were no tears in her eyes. Only a fascination with the armor that seemed to not feel cold like metal, but warm and alive.

"Come on."

When Alexander kicked the door in, they rushed inside to check what had gone wrong. However, what he saw inside, caused him to nearly lose himself to the armor. He restrained his rage as he looked at Miki and Gorou who had been tied up and killed.

Gorou had his head cut off with something hot while Miki seemed to have gone through worse. Knives were stuck in her body and her wrist was sliced. Even her heart had been cut out by something just as hot.

"Ah, so that is how you look like? I must say I expected more from the Berserk Werewolf?"

Alexander looked onto the couch where a black-haired man wearing a trench coat sat. Alexander did not move an inch as he locked onto the man. The man stayed sitting on the couch as he looked at Alexander.

"You know, I wondered where she was? And low and behold you had my target. Such a shame you were not home as you could have stopped me."

Alexander's helmet began to retreat until his face was bare. He held Shina closer as he looked at the Fallen Angel.

"You have exactly 5 seconds to explain why Shina is your target?"

"She has a Longinous you blind dog. Being around you so much caused it to begin manifesting early. I planned to steal her and sell her to the highest bidder, but l-"

"5 seconds are up."

Alexander used magic to cover Shina and protect her as he rushed forward. The Fallen followed his movements for just a moment before Alexander's free arm pierced through his right side.

The Fallen screamed in agony as on the way out Alexander had taken something for the trouble. One of the Fallen's kidneys was in his hand which he crushed and ripped out.

"I am going to make this slow, and painful for you. I will break every bone in your body, burn out every nerve, I cut every muscle, tendon, and vein. But I will not let you die. And when your body finally crumbles, your soul will be mine for the rest of eternity."

The Fallen looked up into Alexander's eyes which were currently flowing with Dark Energon. Alexander reached down and grabbed the Fallen's Leg.

"Ragnarok, look after her."

He handed Shina over to the wolf who grabbed her by her shirt and took her away from the place. She did not need to hear or see this. As for the Fallen, he reached out weakly and tried to grab onto the couch leg. However, Alexander merely pulled him and the couch up the stairs.

The Fallen's blood-curdling screams echoed in the house for the rest of the night. Alexander spared nothing to make the Fallen truly hurt. He did as he promised and left not one inch of the now, dead Fallen Angel.

However, death was not even a mercy as Alexader ripped out the Fallen's soul. He looked at the barely conscious fallen angel with a grin.

"I know someone who will love to play with you until I have a need for you?"

Alexander absorbed the soul and handed it over to the Dark Star Saber. The consciousness of the Fallen appeared in a landscape full of giant dark purple crystals. All of them radiated a corrupting aura, but it even rained the stuff which caused his soul to burn on contact.

'Where am I?'

He tried to get up, but he felt that he had forgotten how to even do that. Suddenly he felt something grab his leg. He had forgotten how to move that he was defenseless. He heard a voice behind him speak into his ear.

"Lord Canis was kind enough to give you to me. I can't let you go to waste. Come."

He could not tell if that voice belonged to a woman or a man, but all he knew was that its touch hurt. His soul was being invaded by the energy contained in the Dark Star Saber. And his screams would resound within for what felt like an eternity.

As for Alexander, he sat outside the house on the porch with Shina in his arms. She was a wailing mess, but neither Alexander nor Ragnarok minded it at this exact moment. Ragnarok sat next to him as he looked at his friend. He rested his head on Alexander's lap making him run his hand on the wolf's fur.

"Seems we are alone once more Ragnarok."

Ragnarok sat in front of him and shook his head.

"No?"

The wolf pointed at Shina in his arms which made Alexander laugh as he looked at the sky. He looked at Shina who was crying.

"Shina. As long as I draw breath, I will make sure nothing can hurt you. Nothing."

Alexander nuzzled her face which made the baby stop crying. Alexander contacted Cleria who answered.

"Alexander, what's wrong?"

"The people who adopted me were killed."

She froze when she heard that.

"WHO DID THIS?!"

"A Fallen Angel. I already tortured him all night and found out he is a runaway. He said he was after Shina who had a Longinus. Apparently being around us for so long caused it to manifest early. He planned to take her and sell her to the highest bidder."

Cleria paused for a long while before she spoke again.

"I am so sorry. I should have done more. Placed guards or anything. I should have noticed earlier."

Alexander knew she could not see him, but he shook his head.

"If I could not notice, how could you have? She hid in plain sight as I never thought she would be born with such a thing. I want to ask for a favor. Please, deal with the funeral arrangements. I will pay you back for this?"

Cleria shook her head.

"Alexander. I don't know what we are, but I am going to call you a friend. I will take care of it. Just focus on raising Shina. She has a Longinous meaning she will be a target. I will help however I can, but you have to make a choice.

Tell her the truth when she is older, or, lie and be her father."

Alexander paused as he looked at Shina.

"She will know I am not her real father. She is human while I am not. She will want answers in time."

"Yes Alexander, but maybe don't tell her the total truth. When she starts digging say you found her after her parent's passing. There will be no revenge for her to take so, think this through."

Cleria hung up and left Alexander to his thoughts who stood up.

"I guess you are stuck with me."

Alexander teleported out of Kuoh Town and to his building in Tokyo. Especially directly to his office where he saw that Cleria was not there. As he walked Ragnarok followed at his every step until he sat in his chair. He turned it around to gaze out at Tokyo with Shina.

The baby had stopped crying, but she still had tears streaming down her eyes. Alexander turned his chair around and called Ingrid through magic. She was always here as Cleria trusted her.

"Ingrid, come to my office please."

"Right away."

The black-haired devil teleported to his location and knocked on the door.

"Alexander, it's me."

"It's open."

When Ingrid walked in she saw that Alexander did not seem to be very happy. His eyes had not changed back as they were still dark purple. She walked up to his desk worried.

"What is wrong?"

Alexander sighed and told her.

"Miki and Gorou the parents of this child were killed by a Fallen Angel. They are also the ones who adopted me."

Ingrid covered her mouth in shock.

"I am so sorry."

He nodded.

"Yeah, I am not happy about it. Now, I need you to do me a favor."

She nodded.

"Anything. What do you need?"

"Contact Azazel for me."

She had not expected that.

"Wait, you want me to contact the head of Grigori after one of his Fallen killed your parents?"

"The Fallen was not affiliated with Grigori. I want to make sure something like this does not happen again and what better way than to work with Azazel."

"But, he is a Fallen Angel. No, he is THE Fallen Angel. He is the enemy of us Devils."

Alexander raised a hand.

"Just do as I say. I am not a Devil so he is not my enemy. Now, are you going to do this or do I have to do it myself?"

She grit her teeth and huffed.

"Fine. What do I tell him?"

"I am sure he knows about the Berserk Werewolf that went mad near Kuoh and vanished. Tell him, he wants to meet up. Send him here and he can bring as many guards as he needs here. I don't mind."

Ingrid did not look pleased, but she nodded.

"Fine, I will contact him. Though I am not sure he will want to talk to you."

Alexander just smiled as his eyes went back to normal.

"I am not so sure about that."
