Blackfeather Woods Black or White, no Gray

In blunt words, yes. There was no other option the way Damien saw things. He would not be capable of murdering his own father, and although getting rid of Malice and their illegitimate offspring for good wouldn't be as hard an idea to swallow, he didn't want to do that to Burke either.

"That's the only option," he stated, but then his sister brought up an important point he had not considered. It was true that the conditions in which they found themselves were not convenient for Nemesis to conceive, but that would probably also mean that Malice's litter would struggle as well.

"What would yo have me do, then, Potema? Raise Burke's bastards?" he asked starting to get pissed off just by the idea. Damien saw what Potema wanted from it, and how she saw that doing that could be alright. They would be pups, a blank slate, nothing more than vessels that could be filled with whomever the Brotherhood wanted them to be no matter their ascendants, but the sole thought of them being of Malice's blood made him sick and think the plan twice.
