Abbaddon sighed, his shoulders sagging under the truth of the matter. Kane was right of course but it didn't make it any easier a pill to swallow. "I know you are right and I don't fear pain... but I don't like seeing you hurting. I just wanted... to take on the pain myself." He says, shaking his head.

I will find a way to sever him as your sire, I promise you." Gabriel never lied and he certainly was not about to start now. Drake is too important to him to fail the man.
