Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by his Brother

It was late noon when Axel arrived; loud and full of himself, as usual.

I didn’t particularly care for his visits. But I couldn’t exactly throw him out, so I endured his rants, his dramatics, his complaints about life.

And then he said it.

"I kissed María José."

I froze.

For a moment, I wondered if I had misheard him. If the gods were playing some joke on me. If cameras were hidden somewhere and he’d shout "It’s a prank!" later.

"Yeah. And, uh... I kinda bit her too."

My whole world fell apart at that. I felt pain like I had never known before right there in that organ that pumps my blood.

"And, uh... drank her blood."

What in the unholy hell?!

If I could have moved, I would have ripped him apart right then and there. I would have damned the consequences. I wouldn’t have thought of the tranquility, pleasure, and bliss that awaited me when I achieved my revenge.
