A Gamma's Revenge
Chapter 491
Diego’s p.o.v.

I never thought I would go on an assignment with my Daughter, but two nights ago I accompanied her to one of our targets.

It didn’t go as we had planned, but it all turned out for the best and we may even get an alliance out of it. We reported what we had found in those mountains and I for one was breathing a little easier, knowing there are still those that will fight for the weak.

I have to admit that I was a little disappointed though, I didn’t get to see my little girl at work and it was something I had been looking forward to.

I think Maleah noticed that I was a bit disappointed, because she asked me on the drive home to pick out the next target. There was one more Elder and one more Alpha on the list, after taking a look at both their files, I chose the last Elder on our list.

Elder Samuel will be our next target and Maleah just linked me that we will be taking him down tonight.

One of her scouts reported that he was going to a little cottage he owns in the middle of nowhere and that he would be gone for at least four days, so it will take some time for someone to start missing him.

Like last time, our drive is mostly spend in silence. Timber's bond with Fortune has become strong and it makes it easier to feel where my Daughter is during the day or how she is feeling.

I never took the time to find out what I inherited from my parents, but after working side by side with Maleah I wish I had. There are so many different ways to take out a target and every potion is almost undetectable, unless you know what you are looking for.

I followed Maleah’s example and started reading the journals from our ancestors, reading about their mistakes and victories.

We made the Dravyrith together, a potion that will take a few hours to kill the victim and we will wait until Elder Samuel has taken his last breath. Maleah wants to know how long it will take for her target to die and how easy it will be to use it more often.

I agree with her, this potion will be a good punishment for those that have committed horrible crimes. Dravyrith is made of Dussala and Ecender, both items are very common and are harmless on their own.

Dussala is a spice that you can find in almost every kitchen and Ecender grows all around us, but mixed in the right amounts it can be deadly. I had looked at Maleah in surprise, when she placed the Ecender in front of me to cut it.

She had poured Iquna in a pan and as she started warming the liquid, she added the Dussala. Stirring it slowly and then she started adding the Ecender I was cutting, lowering the heat beneath the pan because it needs to be heated, not boiled.
