Chapter Eight

“I had an elder brother from another mother, my mother died when she gave birth to me, so my father didn't really like me, I lived on the brink of finding my purpose and building a strong relationship with the one that gave birth to me, it was hard for me but my older brother had all the love in this world and he received special care, he had everything he wanted within the blinking of an eye but this time we both had to battle other vibrant young men for the position beside my father as the next Alpha after my dad. We all eagerly prepared for the day and I was determined to make my dad proud so he would at least love me. Conan, my elder brother, was a fine young man with sharpened skills.

Everyone loved him and no one loved me but I didn't care that the competition was coming and I was prepared, for so many he would beat me easily and they were already calling him the heir. Come to think of it, I'm not moved a bit, calling Conan the next heir doesn't bulge me, the perfect opportunity is in the corner to wipe the smirk off their faces, especially Conan who acts all and mighty, can't wait to see the disappointed look on dad's face when I kick his ass.” I thought to myself.

Satisfied with my abilities, “It will be nice to take a walk “ I thought, walking across the hallway I heard a faint noise coming from close by, Curiosity taking the better of me I went towards where the sounds were coming from. As I neared the smell of sweat spread across the training room like the smell of wet rocks after a slight rain. This is Conan's smell, I thought after sniffing the scent, it was mixed with two others, one was my father and another scent I hadn't perceived before. I hid behind the door looking through the keyhole. “You've improved Conan, that bastard will not be a match for you in the spa”, " Father said.

Why all this trouble father, you could have made me the next alpha, Conan said. “All this preparation is to make sure there are no shortcomings and your position as the next alpha won't be challenged,” Fath said. "With my current power, there is nothing to fear he can't be my match father”, I heard Conan say. Hearing all this anger had built up inside me that I smashed the wall beside me unknowingly, “Who is there my father shouted from inside the training, rushing out we're Conan and that awful-looking teacher of his.

“Oh shit that was a close one thank heavens I was quick to escape”. Now that I know their plan I'm going to use it against him, just wait Conan, I said with a smirk on my face, although deep down in my heart I felt dejected knowing my father thinks of me as trash but that ended here and now, all I want is to take my anger out on but Conan and father, I thought with an evil grin as I entered my room and blended with the darkness.

CONAN'S POV

who was that just now I thought as I around, with a sharp turn I moved my head as I heard a gasp come out of my father's mouth. Who was that? He said, seeing a large hole in the wall as I turned to father's direction. A smirk appeared on my face as I couldn't help thinking it was Marcus's doing. Perfect, I was glad he heard because I really wanted to.

A whistle came out of Father's mouth and almost immediately two guards appeared, finding who was behind what this dad said and they vanished immediately after. One of the guards reappeared in a minute. He told his father it was Marcus then vanished again after receiving a signal from his father.
An evil grin was seen on Father's face as he said “Conan you know what to do” Yes Father I said with a smirk, that bastard wouldn't know what hit him I thought.

Leaving me alone father left with my teacher, I started walking towards my brother's room on reaching there I raised my hand to knock, what do you want he said in his cold disgusting voice, opening the door he glared at me saying I wasn't asked to enter, staring at me were a pair of cold eyes with the intent to kill. Laughing aloud sarcastically I said, that is not the way to greet your brother Marcus, still with that mocking smirk on my face. Hope you enjoyed watching me train I asked, the glare in his eyes shifted as he was surprised, so you knew it was me he said. Who wouldn't you fool your stupid stench lingered around the whole place.

What do you want? he asked again, with a slight hint of frustration in his voice. The smirk on my face became even broader when I heard the effect on him. It is better to forfeit the spar I said and then left.

Cause you! I heard Marcus shout as he walked through the walkway, because of you I screamed as he left my room.

An evil grin was revealed on my face, he really bought the act I said. He claims to be older in years but he Is a dimwit, that is easily fooled and used like a puppet, I don't know what is coming at him ha ha ha ha ha I laughed, l will crush his dreams and make him worthless, I will make the losses father's love and the trust of everyone around him, I will make sure he lives a life that is even lower than slaves till he kills himself as his final way out. Then Father would have no choice but to be proud of me I said to myself , thinking of tomorrow's match outcome as sleep draws me in.
