DelimaEric P.O.V

There is nothing annoying like having a weak brother. In as much as I know and am told that I deserve to be the Alpha of the Golden Wolf pack, I would really hunt him down if he just surrenders to me without a fight.I just can't bear to look him in the eye without getting annoyed. I wonder how he thinks a leader is made by being unnecessarily kind and weak, I wonder how he thinks he can command the horde of violent subjects without first being strong to dominate them."Where is Dylan?" I stopped by my mother's chambers to ask her of him and she looked at me like I lost my head in a pile of rubbish before going back knitting like I wasn't there.

"Alright." I shrugged and meant to breeze out when she stopped me."Eric, you are grown and I do not expect you to make an issue out of nothing." She said."Okay." I responded; my legs ready to move out when her words stopped me again."Why do you seek him?" "Who?" I asked and I got a bored look as a reply. "Nothing. Just wanted to bond with my brother." I said before casually strolling out of her room knowing she was drilling hot holes in my back."See you!" I said but received no response.Walking down the corridor towards my brother's room, I stood still at the slightly open door before peeking in to an empty room.Knowing he wasn't in, I turned to leave only to bump into his personal maid."Dylan?" I asked and she shook her head in response."And what is that suppose to mean?" I asked, his things were as pathetic as he was. "He…he isn't in." She stuttered refusing to meet my gaze.Holding her chin to raise her head up, I could feel her trembling and finding it difficult to look at me."Speak!" I ordered."And like a normal wolf would." I added just incase she fumbled again. Practicing my Alpha dominance on my subjects was fun and I could not wait to carry out the actual Alpha dominance I've seen my father practice. His aura alone could make his subject quake in terror. The bliss of that."Master Dylan left the room few hours ago." She replied trying her best to be firm but her loud heartbeat did not escape my extraordinary hearing ability."I expect a complete information. Do you serve half dishes to the members of the royal family?" I asked she shook her head again."Do I need to remind you of how to respond?" And with a vigorous shaking of her head, she said."He left a few hours ago." as if a spell had been conjured on her.

Dylan P.O.V

Cooped in the comfort of my room doing nothing than fumbling with scroll given to me by my mum, I felt suffocated. I was supposed to study this ancient scroll to have enough knowledge on how this wolf thing works but I just could not concentrate. Tonight, being the night when there will be a full moon was supposed to be the night of my wolf awakening ceremony, the night were I finally get to meet my wolf. A hopeful companion I wished to have but the thought of that too being a failure haunted me. I would be stock with it forever and eventually go crazy.I was supposed to have my coming-of-age ceremony tomorrow but my Alpha Nicholas insisted Eric and I have it together. I'd have to wait three extra years to do that. I felt stressed and my hands craved to mold something. Before walking through the walls of the house, I dropped a note for my personal maid. Sitting on the floor in a not-so-secret garden, I let molding the clay I could gather from digging into the earth till my hands started working on my own and my mind teleported to a realm of peace."My Alpha" A voice full of mockery called, shattering even the fake and temporary peace of mind I conjured. •••"Alright. Go in and do what you need to do." Eric said, letting go of her cheeks as if jolted by electricity. He proceeded to wipe his hand clean before giving her a degrading look. Zoe glared hard at him when she taught, he wasn't looking. The audacity of her junior to talk this way to get even he wasn't the king yet."After sizing me up, you can please proceed to do your morning chores" Eric said with a creepy smile on his face.If given the opportunity, Zoe would have coughed up blood at the guts of the brat in front of her. She wished to give a reply but remembering her background and was at stake, she only nodded before bowing and passed into the room.Not long after she entered the room, her eyes caught unto the notice plastered on the table. Having an idea where her master was, she made a mental to-do list of things to bring to him while he spent his time relaxing. 

"So, this is it. Huh?" The sudden evasion in her space made her jump while releasing a little squeak."Let's go." Eric said nodding towards the door."I…""Hush it now. I want to see my big brother not yours; your job right now is to lead me to him or be lost." "After you." He said when she kept staring her him instead. Guilty, Zoe led him towards the inner part of the garden where Dylan sat on the muddy floor like an homeless underprivileged teen with his back to them.Looking at his brother with contempt and hate for spoiling their father's image and name. "My Alpha." He mocked giving a fake bow alongside Zoe after Dylan turned to look at them. "Greetings Master Dylan." She greeted and he muttered a response and tried to look at him, he nodded in understanding and gestured to her to leave. "Why do you seek me, Eric?" Dylan asked his brother. He wasn't ready for any games."To see how matured you are. I was wrong." Eric teased, his face not hiding the disgust he felt towards whatever his brother was doing." "Okay." Dylan answered, not bothering to talk much."You disgust me. I can't stand the sight of you." Eric added."You are welcome." Dylan replied without a shift in his initial expression.Conjuring a spider on the muddy hands of his brother, he left with a tinge of satisfaction but what he didn't expect was for Dylan to walk through the plants and rub whatever dirt he dipped his hands in alongside the bug he conjured into his face and body. It happened too fast to stop or notice it happening.It was a blow to Eric's ego and the second son of the Alpha was left seething, planning out a perfect revenge plan to compensate whatever humiliation he just faced.
