I lay on my bed, sleep refusing to come. The events that took place today, the meeting with her, and the fight, Replayed in my mind. That bastard almost took my life.

“Ugh” I rolled off the bed, the room was dark, the interior looked normal. Ever since I started living in the palace, I was given a normal room, a room not different from that of a maid or a palace guard.

Feeling the bandages wrapped around me made me think of her. Tall and slender, with those eyes, makes me think this girl was trouble. Her hands seemed soft, and… “ Gosh I am in need of a drink, what the hell am I thinking of” Although I am a prince, I am treated no less than a common man. My so-called father refused to acknowledge me, because I am a product of a woman he once had a one night stand with. No alcohol around. I picked up my clothes, wore them and left my small space. I walked through the court yard, to the next one. A palace stood, grand and majestically, compared to mine that's just a small cottage. The guards there ignored my existence, they didn't acknowledge me as their prince, reminding me how nothing I am, how I'm just someone destined to be lonely. This palace standing before me was one of the many palaces around.

When I entered, my feet stopped for a moment. I could hear the sound of moaning. I speculate whether I should continue or go back. But my urge for this drink made me walk in. And then right in the sitting room, my half brother, Jason on top of a young man ploughing in and out of his a$s. The man screamed at the same time Moan, as Jason kept ploughing in.

Just ignore it. I went to the counter where drinks were kept, taking one and about taking my leave.

“Hey bro, hold up, I will be done in a jiffy” Jason called over, he seems to have seen me. Just like a beast, he ploughs in deeper, his hand wraps around the man's neck as he keeps ploughing in. When it looked like the man might be strangled to death, Jason released a loud groan. And all this while I sat on a cushion not far away from their activities, sipping my drinks.

“Oh oh bro, you came along bro, sorry you have to see that” Jason sat down opposite me, waving his hand, a man dressed in a lady outfit came in with a glass cup and a bottle of champagne. Jason took the glass and waved the Manservant off. “ I will drink with my bro today”

I sip my drink silently, reminiscing the tastes, it's not everyday I get to drink this. One of the best and most expensive wines.

“Father will have my head, if he finds out about this” Jason drank a mouthful of his drink.

“About what? Sleeping with your guards or the fact I am here drinking with you” my deep dark eyes locked eyes with Jason. Jason stayed silent for a while before diverting his eyes. Chuckling silently, he lay back in his seat.

“ If it's the man stuff, then it's father, but if I am caught drinking with you, now at this moment. Then mother is definitely going to bite my head and give you to eat it.”

“Lame joke” I sip more of my drinks. Everyone knows how strong I am. In terms of combat, either in my wolf form, or in my human form, I was way too strong. Even my so-called father approved of my strength. I am sometimes scared of the kind of power I hold. Is it that it's because of the fact that I am an alpha?

Jason chuckled, he was the only among the family that was close to me. I remembered when I first came to this family, everyone looked at me with disgust and hatred, but he only smiled not one of tricks but of genuine.

“You are injured”

“Yep” I answered straight. Jason's eyes became wide open. Like he just had the shocking news.

“It's weird, for someone to injure you. I am getting curious about who is that”

“It's nobody, just a moment of distraction that's all”

Seeing that the bottle was almost empty out and not in the mood for some silly chat. I got up ready to head outside.

“Just for the heads up. He is coming back” Jason Drew my attention. I turned back, for some reason my heart did a double take. Who? Jason seems to have read my thoughts. “You know who I am talking about” My jaw tightened. That bastard.
