THE NIGHT RUNNER[hamish duke x reader]

chapter 10

We went back to the temple to wait for jack to bring Coventry's kid. I must say Alyssa looked pretty shook from recent events."Your boy...is running late" Edward told Alyssa "always disappointing to find out that you can't trust someone" I said in a mocking tone "I was thinking the same thing" Alyssa said "I see what you did there, you think I'm a monster don't you?" Edward asked her "you're the one about to sacrifice his own son for personal gain" she growled "grow up Alyssa there's no such thing as true love" I rolled my eyes "jack Morton is bringing Maddox here to save your life" Edward told her "so that's how you justify it? How do you justify asking me to kill Vera?" Alyssa asked him as she crossed her arms over her chest "I don't. I gave you a task, you failed. The fact that you are alive is an indication of my benevolence" "you can drop the merciful god routine. I'm not buying it" Alyssa cut Edward off "you shouldn't" he said and then I smirked "Jackie boy is here"

 as if in a que the doors opened and jack walked in , but without Maddox "hey" jack said "jack, you shouldn't have come" Alyssa whispered to him "did you forget something?" I asked him, obviously referring to Maddox "you wanted me to bring you you firstborn son, here I am" jack told Edward "bullshit" Edward growled "Alyssa tell him" "no jack he'll kill you" she disagreed "but if you don't tell us the truth you will both die sweetie" I said "is jack Morton my son?" Edward asked Alyssa in a threatening tone "no" she growled "not nice to lie Alyssa, and here I thought you were a good scouts girl" I said with a fake pout "why didn't you tell me?" Edward asked jack "would it made any difference?" "No. Let's go son, the clock's ticking" Edward said "let Alyssa go, you promised" jack told him "she stays to bear witness" "I can't watch you kill him" Alyssa said "you will, or so help me I'll torture you" I threatened her "don't worry, I won't feel a thing" jack reassured her before he laid on the table that was in the middle of the room. I stayed close to Alyssa to make sure she was watching "jack Morton...firstborn of Edward Coventry have you come willingly?" Edward asked him "yes" "let it be known" Edward said and then the Vada Meacum created a dagger for him to stab jack. Edward places the dagger right above his heart "sanguienem..do ut des potentiam!" Edward chanted before he stabbed jack, I had to held Alyssa back so she won't interrupt "it's not working. It's not working" Edward said repeatedly as he stabbed jack again and again and again
