PROLOGUE

"H-Hey! Break it up!" the guards shouted from a safe distance.

No one could come closer. No one dared to separate the two.

"Aren't they best friends?"

"They used to hang around a lot."

"What happened?"

"Wait, are those dominant alpha pheromones I smell? Shit! This is spinning out of control fast!"

"Isn't one of them just a regular Alpha? Call the nurse at once!"

None of their words pulled the two kids apart. Behind their favourite tree in the academy, the fourteen year old and the thirteen year old had their hands on each other's collar, one was growling with tears streaming down his face while the other stood, shocked, while trying to defend himself.

"I'll kill you!" he swore as he yelled with all the pain in his voice. "Don't ever appear in front of me again, you hear? I'll fucking kill you!"

The more he growled his threats, the stronger his pheromones were, weakening his opponent who was already weakened in the heart where it hurt the most.

Never in his life had he ever seen so much hate and his fragile little heart broken beyond measure.

"It wasn't me," he tried to defend himself with a heavy grunt. "I didn't have a hand in it." his hands trembled, a sign that he was no match for his pheromones.

"Hey! Enough! Do you know the son of whom you're threatening?" The guards tried to get a word in but there was no match for the fury already burning in the air, stroking the flames of bitterness and hate.

"Why?" the silver-haired sniffed, eyes blurry with tears. "Why are you doing this? Why are you… you don't believe me? William, snap out of it!" he screamed, releasing his own pheromones as they clashed in the air.

Their grip tightened as they growled in each other's faces, refusing to let go.

"I said break it up!" They were tackled to the ground. While one was helped to his feet, the other struggled against the guard. It was just the way of things when one's family had more power than the other could dream of in ten lifetimes.

"I'll fucking kill you, you hear me?" he grunted. "Don't ever cross my path again! Stay the fuck away from me! Elijah!"

~~~~~~~~~

Elijah gasped awake from his usual nightmare. His heart racing wild and sweat buds rolling down his head.

Again. He had that dream again! In nine years, he had lost count of how many times that particular scene revisited his dreams. It was the only thing he woke up to--

He turned sharply and slammed a hand down on his alarm clock just when it was about to go off.

It has become a habit.

Rubbing his eyes with a frown etched on his face, he slid right out of bed. There goes his sleep. He knew he wouldn't be able to return back to bed so there was no use even trying.

He walked down to his kitchen for a glass of water in only his black briefs hugging his waist. He lived alone and besides it was five a.m. in the morning.

His heart still raced, he had to shake off the feeling. Those pheromones were like poison to his mind and body. It didn't matter how long it was, he hated those things.

Damn dominant Alpha Pheromones. They were disgusting. Every single one of them. There was nothing special about those lots.

An alarm blared off somewhere. It was time for his shot. His body shivered from the thought alone but it was inevitable. Another day, another dose.

"Fuck, it's today," he muttered when his eyes landed on the sticky note on his fridge. The appointed day he had been dreading all week.

The day of the meeting.
