Blackfeather Woods Redemption

Damien's jaw would have dropped to the floor if it was possible when Burke explained himself. But instead his eyes said it all, confused and taken aback. He wasn't expecting to even hear about Sebastian, Burke's bitter son, after their own encounter long ago at the borders of Blackfeather Woods, and now he wasn't only back again, but he was also in the pack. How did that happen?

"Wait, Sebastian?" asked Damien baffled, "You mean your son, Sebastian?" he tried to confirm. "How did that even happen?" Damien would have thought that Burke had left his past behind a long time ago, but he didn't realize what his life was like before he joined Blackfeather Woods. He simply couldn't judge the male for trying to connect with his own son. He didn't have to like it either, of course...

Burke told Damien he was giving him this mission because he was his son, which gave him an unnecessary, but highly effective shot of pride. He knew Burke had never really acknowledged any of his biological children before the twins, but Damien and the Spiderlings had been the first bunch he'd taken under his wing willingly. That had to account for something.
