Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by his Brother

~Luis's Point Of View~

I hate them all. Down to my core... to my very being.

For seventeen years, I played the role of the victim. The poor, pitiful cousin, nephew, and in-law, trapped in a wheelchair—half a man, robbed of a future.

I let them pity me. I let them think I was broken, helpless and a shadow of the boy I used to be.

But they don't know the truth.

Eight years ago, I made a deal with the devil himself.

He came to me on a night when the moon was hidden, and the forest was silent. Oh, he was a shadow darker than the night and darker than man's wildest thoughts.

'Do you want power? Do you want freedom? Do you want revenge?'

Of course, I said yes.

The terms were simple, almost laughably so. Two souls a month for ten years. In return, he would heal me, make me stronger than I had ever been, and grant me the power to destroy the Montenegro family.

It was an offer I couldn't refuse.
