Leaving had been hard. Necessary but hard. He was a good kid. Smart, capable. It wasn't a complete wonder why the Atharim choose to use him despite his abilities -- maybe Zef wasn't as blinded by it as he had thought.
But his mission wasn't done. When he sent confirmation that the mark was down. He received a message that told him he was going to tail him. And the reason sent had been pictures of him and Nox having sex. Not that it was a problem. His father wouldn't be happy if they got leaked. Not that Hayden kept his affairs to women only. But that was what his father preferred.
All the old blood did. Hayden didn't really care one way or the other. But apparently Zef thought that blackmail was a good way to make him do something. If it had been anyone else, Hayden might have said fuck you. But he decided it was better to be the one to kill Nox if it came to that. At least he understood him better than any other Atharim. And he wouldn't mind getting to know him more.
