CHAPTER EIGHTY
{Emil}
That boy Axle was growing up to be a spitting image of his father, the older he got, the more he kept reminding me of his father, my brother.
He had always been the better one, the one with the greater destiny, the one who was to rule over all the wolves.
Growing up with him as my shadow was one of the hardest things I had actually had to endure, my parents loved him more than me, the whole pack loved him more than me, even Mina had been mated to him and the moon goddess knew that I was in love with her.
He had it all, everything and I had nothing.
It was so unfair but I knew that I was destined for more and I could have more if I just reached for it even though nobody ever told me that.
When I turned eighteen, I found out that Elric was my mate. I always thought when I found my mate, he or she would complete me and love only me, they would not love him as well, but I had to be mated to Elric.
Elric was my brother's best friend and ally, he was also his Beta, there was no way he would ever side with me over his Alpha and so I rejected him immediately even though it hurt me.
Not too long after that, I was getting wasted at a bar, planning to end my own life because of how worthless I felt and I thought the moon goddess would never give me another mate because I had rejected Elric, but it suddenly hit me, the scent was everywhere and when I found him, he was perfect.
The best thing was the fact that he also hated my brother and he had the same dark intent as I did.
I fell helplessly in love with him and he revealed to me that he was a warlock and not just a human that I thought he was and he was going to help me take my rightful place in the pack.
Around that time, my father died so my brother became Alpha, he took Elric as his Beta and he had the nerve to name me second in command, such a derogatory move.
So like him trying to act like God and fix everybody's life, I began to hate him and secretly plot his downfall.
The last stone that broke the camel's back was when I asked to turn my mate into a wolf because I wanted to make him stronger, he rejected and even threatened to banish me from his pack if I pushed for it ever again.
My hate for him grew daily even as I watched Lina take in and deliver first a son and then a daughter as beautiful as she was.
I liked her daughter, but I hated her son. He acted just like his father, then and there I decided that he had to go.
I tried to eliminate him from the inside, but nothing worked. My mate Asmi even helped me with a spell to end the boy, but it proved abortive.
I took advantage of the war that broke out between the witches and the wolves and I ended him, but if I'm being honest, Asmi and I were the genesis of the war.
We kept our relationship secret, most people thought I was mated to an ordinary human, he incited war with his coven and I incited a war in the pack.
In no time, dead wolves with their brains fried began to show up in the pack's woods. I knew my brother would never let it go because he was loyal to a fault and that was what killed him, he pursued the trail till it led to a war front.
He had been so powerful, he killed a lot of witches that day. If I had not injected him with a high dosage of wolf's bane mixed with melted platinum, he wouldn't have died.
He still didn't die from the injection, I had to do the deed myself.
There was no greater feeling than seeing the almighty Alpha dead on the ground. I wish he had begged me to spare his life before I killed him, but I had to kill him quickly before he healed from the poison.
I wanted to have Lina for myself, even though I already had a mate, we had decided to share her, but she had been struck by a witch, and she had died. It hurt me to see her beautiful frame drop lifelessly to the earth.
But I had to move on, the pack did not accept me as their Alpha after some of them witnessed me killing him, so I had to take them by force, I renamed the wolves that went with me the yellow moon and I bound them with a Witch's spell so that their eyes change to yellow and they can be told apart from the blue moon wolves.
I had lost track of the children, and I was sure that Elric had gotten to them before me. I would have gone after him, but he had cast a spell to protect himself from me with the help of another witch coven
I couldn't go anywhere near him and Asmi had still not figured out how to break the spell yet, it was not until recently did I discover that Lydia had been killed, she was the only family left that I loved and I had been so heartbroken to hear that she died and the boy lived.
I heard of the boy's fate and the prophecy, no one would ever challenge me and just like I ended his father, I would end him.
Three years ago, I would have killed his mate, but I made an error and he needed up marking her even though he didn't know that.
I watched all her movements through my daughter but I was annoyed to know that her family had moved to Louisiana because her mate was in Louisiana and I had to separate them to prevent the prophecy from being fulfilled.
If you're wondering how I got a daughter, I'll tell you. The dream of sharing a woman didn't die off with Lina, Asmi and I found another woman we could share and spice our relationship up with.
Sam, she was a very feisty wolf, and she was a freak in the sheets, she made all my fantasies come true, and she had even given us the greatest gift ever a child.
