Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by his Brother

~Axel’s Point Of View~

I stood in front of my mirror, staring blankly at myself, at my new haircut, my new look, and my new vision. I had just made the grandest revelation to my family and it had stirred a lot of troubles.

By the time I stepped back into the mansion after I visited Luis, my head was a mess.

Luis’s slow, wheezy judgment still haunted me like an old, damp coat, and I hated it.

I stormed past the grand foyer, ignoring the workers bustling about. Someone called out to me—a maid, probably—but I didn’t bother answering. I had bigger problems.

Like the fact that I kissed María José last night.

And bit her.

And drank her blood.

I shuddered, running a hand down my face as I climbed the stairs two at a time.
