The Broken Mirror (1/1)

Zitao POV   You can say that my birth was sort of a failure. Apparently my 'big shot' of a younger brother was choking me with his umbilical cord (How does that happen) and went I came out I was not breathing well. I had fevers and colds and I was almost on my death bed for the first four months of my life. Since my brother had made me so weak the doctors  found out that he was an Alpha right away and I, I was left as a beta. An unwanted child but a special one. For no royal family had bore a set of twins since the fall of the Im household, not only that it was a first that the eldest was a beta while the youngest son was the Alpha.At the age of four I was put Into training with my brother. while he could keep up with the rigorous training I was far too weak to participate all the time. Often after practicing sword fighting I would collapse to the floor in a puddle of sweat. My father saw me as a disappointment, refusing to treat me with the same admiration he showed whenever Min Gi did well. Thankfully I had at least one talent my brother did not. I was smart- like really smart. Often I'd go to the teachers and stay and learn- I studied instead of learning to fight and my father began to me as 'Somewhat' useful.One day when we were 7 we heard a very interesting rumor, two poor children had been captured and placed in the dungeons. Apparently their mother had sold them as slave to the Choi household for debt collection. I pulled my brother to the steps after his sword fighting practice."What?" He wiped his sword and put it in his hilt."We got new servants..." I told him quietly. My brother loved servants, he was a total brat who got whatever he wanted and thus he treated the servants like they were trash.'Ooh new toys?" Zitao cringed at the word 'toys' but they both journeyed downward into the dungeons. They walked a good while until they heard crying and a little girls voice."Stop crying. Please stop crying Hakyeon. Please." She was too bust consoling the little boy to notice the two five year olds standing beside the metal bars which held them captive. Min Gi shook the metal bars getting her attention."You should play with us." Min Gi smiled at the girl who now that I looked closer was also crying. Min Gi flashed the keys to the cell and I started wondering where he had taken them from in the first place. Min Gi opened the cell door and went in pulling the little girl up. She was about the same height as Min Gi and you could tell she had been malnourished. When I pulled her roughly by her arm the small boy she was comforting earlier got up to protest. I just pushed him back and Min Gi took the girl from the prison. The boy would stay put for now."Why aren't you taking my brother as well?" She looked back to the boy who had crawled to the closed cell doors, rattling them to be let out as well. Min Gi just pulled her along despite her weak pulling and complaining, they walked into the garden."I don't want to play with him, I like your hair." Min Gi pulled her hair rather roughly causing her to cry out from the pain, but Min Gi just laughed, I however was a bit more human and old Min Gi to let go."Let go of her hair Min Gi." I warned him and he looked at me like I was the stupidest thing ever."Your telling ME what to do? You might be older but remember your level. I'm the Alpha." Min GI growled and Zitao had no choice to bow his head in apology.I always felt so much regret over it. That I was born a Beta and the oldest. Often times I would wish to die and get rid of the feeling. The feeling of being useless."Sorry brother." Min Gi went back to pulling and playing with the little girls hair. After pushing her around for a while Min Gi asked her for her name. When she refused to tell him he hit her breaking the skin on her lip."I'm Seungyeon." She growled at Min Gi earning her another smack. He pulled her back to the dungeons and threw her in the cell with her brother."You can stay here and learn manners!" Min Gi growled to her as her brother crawled over to her and whimpered into her arms. She glared at Min Gi but thankfully I was the only one who saw. She looked at me as well, and her eyes pierced mines. We both went up to our rooms, I made Min Gi promise not to tell our parents about sneaking off to visit the children in the dungeon.That night I couldn't stop thinking about that little girl trapped in the dungeon. Min Gi was right, she was interesting, despite being so obviously weak she was stronger than most. Even the maids said nothing when Min Gi played with them roughly. After all he was the future leader of the Choi household, a golden child. I cared little about it though, letting Min Gi have his way even when he burnt and cut the Maids in anger (or sheer madness).Seungyeon has long and dingy brown hair it was dull and flat. She was a walking bone structure and her speech lacked any class. So why did Zitao think about her so often. Eventually  the boys asked for Hakyeon and Seungyeon."We want to play with them!" Min Gi yelled at father and pouting to get his way."But their of lowly birth." the mother spoke up and Min Gi ignored her."I want to play with Seungyeon and Hakyeon!" Father grew surprised that we even knew their names."Do you want to have them?" My mother called for me and I went into her embrace."Yes." I nodded even though I didn't really approve of her choice of words. Since Hakyeon nor Seungyeon were objects to have or to own. So with that they both agreed to give us the twins and brought them upstairs giving them a room to stay in. It was a small room, used for storage at the end of the hall near the playroom. And so the twins were to play with us whenever we wanted.However my mom insisted on cleaning Seungyeon and Haykeon properly before letting them play with us and so two days after we were 'given' them, they came to us. Seungyeon had been given a full body treatment which made her dull hair shine. In fact it was a gorgeous chestnut color and her skin was a beautiful shade, a little darker that mine. Hakyeon was a shade darker than Seungyeon and the clothes that the maids had put on him suited his complexion. Actually he was really pretty as well, his hair cut shorter, though it still reached his neck."Oh~ You two looks so nice~" Min Gi circled around the two nodded happily. Genuinely pleased by the drastic change. "Thank you Alpha." Seungyeon said, shocking both of us and making her blush."Don't blame me! Your stupid mother told me to call you Alpha *Even though your not mine*" She grumbled at the end but Min GI still heard it earning her a slap which made her brother cry out. Pretty early on, Seungyeon had told us that he could not talk. Min Gi would bully him for it constantly, whenever he was bored of Seungyeon.Seugyeon looked at me from the floor and I looked at her- did she expect me to help her? With another grumble she got up and brushed off her dress glaring at me."Weakling." Min Gi slapped her, knocking her back down."Only I can mess with my brother, you better learn manners and lower your eyes when you talk to us little one." Despite Min Gi being younger than Seungyeon he refused to address her as such, or even acknowledge her seniority.Min Gi and Seungyen would argue like this all the time but I could tell that Min Gi liked Seungyeon's bravery. Whenever she was away however he would push and pull and kick her mute brother, threatening that If he told I would poison him in his sleep. As for why Min Gi said I would, I have no clue. I mean I was learning poisons and healing potions at school now a days but I don't think I had the capability to kill someone Hakyeon was rather cute and innocent making him a great target. Even I had to agree that making Hakyeon cry was rather fun.So like this, Seven year passed by but for me something was changing. As Seungyeon grew up she grew prettier. The maids didn't want to cut her beautiful and rich waist-length hair. He eyes were mischievous and often she would take us on strange adventures. One night she came to me. I was on the roof, observing the moon and stars as I always did and she came upstairs, surprised by me."Oh! Zitao! I didn't know th- sorry." She bowed and before she could take her leave I assured her that it was okay."I would like it if you stayed." I told her truthfully. Honestly I wasn't as vocal as my brother, nor was I as violent so she gladly took my hand. She sat besides me and enjoyed the quiet night. Feeling a bit restless I spoke up."You know our ancestor used to howl at the moon?""Why?" She asked me and I looked at her before Immediately turning my face back up. She was looking at me too."W-well. My teacher told me that the Giant Wolves, before they could transform, believed that the Moon was a playful spirit that loved to hide." The silence settled in once more but it wasn't awkward. In fact it was appreciated. Finally I looked at her and she looked at me at the same time. I was ready to turn away but before I could turn away she held my face in her hands. She got closer to me and kissed me on the lips, At the beginning I was wide-eyed but I soon closed my own eyes. Deepening the kiss. My hands found themselves pressed to the small of Seungyeon's back as we both realized our love.When I broke apart the kiss Seungyeon blushed and apologized for being so bold. I chuckled at her. Placing her head on my shoulder. We sat close in the silence of a beautiful life."We can't tell anyone-can we?" Seungyeon broke the silence sadly."No, not even my brother." Zitao knew that Min Gi would tell their father, ruining everything. The next few days I would take Seungyeon away, in secret, to kiss her or to simply be together. I felt bad leaving Hakyeon with Min Gi, but not bad enough to stop. Despite being opposites in a lot of ways it seemed as if Seungyeon fit me the best. Often she would scold me for my lack of emotions and such. One time I played with Seungyeon's hair as she slept in the garden and Min Gi caught me."What are you doing?" Min Gi crept up scaring me and waking up Seungyeon and Hakyeon (Who was laying on top of her chest- jealous)."Nothing just playing with Seungyeons hair- you said you liked it too." Min Gi put his fingers in her hair as well."Your probably right." A little while later Min GI suggested we play barber shop, He cut Hakyeons hair first strapping him into a chair as her pretended to cut his hair."Next!" he pulled Seungyeon to the chair a strapped her in, before I could stop him however he pulled Seugyeon's hair in one and cut it off to her shoulders."What did you do?!" I pushed him away unstrapping her from his barber shop chair. I glared at him as I helped Seungyeon up. Min Gi laughed loudly, not deferred at all."Why should I stop after she BELONGS to us. Stop acting like she's your lover or something. Disgusting." Min Gi got serious at the end snarling at Seungyeon who was still holding onto me. Scared I pulled my hands away from her and she bowed to Min Gi to apologize. This should have been the warning. That Min Gi had noticed how close Seungyeon was to me and I should have seen how jealous he was...One time, when we were 14 I told him that I liked how nice Seungyeon's skin was. Of course I had seen every part of her skin, glowing under the moonlight. Suddenly burns began to form on Seungyeons body. Her chest and her arm and her legs, covered in burn mark, Turns out while I was away studying every weekend Min Gi would play with her and burn her with stuff sometimes. While the burning sensation lasted but a minute they didn't fade enough, and if you looked closely you could see them littering her once flawless skin.I got really mad at Min Gi but instead of crying and pouting as he usually did he got really mad and violent with me. Fighting me in his wolf form because of his anger. His wolf is light brown while mines is a dark brown color."What are you doing!" Min Gi pinned me down growling commands for me to stop and to 'not move' His voice was at its fullest and he used his Alpha tone. Making he bow to him completely."Why do you love her?! She's nothing! NOTHING!" Min Gi growled at me and while I was a little taken aback because he knew, I was also ready to tell him."I do! I love her and even if I'll be hated by you forever  will marry her-because I LOVE her!" Min Gi growled violently then ran off into the forest.I had no time to run after him however and even if he did tell on me. It didn't matter, the ceremony of marriage was coming up soon for him and he had already found his mate. When he came back Min Gi no longer brought up Zitao nor Seungyeon. In fact he no longer bothered Seungyeon as much, focusing on her brother insteadSoon we celebrated our birthday and Seungyeon gave me a rock  she had found. under it said Seungyeon and Zitao 4 EVA. When I came back I went to see Seungyeon right away, Igorning my intolerable brother. Days later seungyeon became so sick that she wouldn't even get out of bed to greet me. Deflated I went to greet my brother, after greeting him I asked if he knew what was wrong with Seungyeon. His face scrunched up as if he had smelt something horrid and decaying, then it lit up as if he had a revelation."Oh. Seungyeon, I gave her some wolf's bane tea but she got so sick..." Before he could finish his fake pity I had pinned him to the bed ready to punch him."WHAT." I growled. Deadly serious-  mean how could he even. Why would he even."Seungyeon belongs to me, thus I can do what even I want to her! I didn't even given her a lot." Min Gi rolled his eyes at me and pushed me off. He straightened his clothes then went back to his magazine."Father!" I went to the one person I hated more than anything, but could do anything. Once he said something it was done."What." His father greeted me rudely but I ignored him so I could ask to save Seungyeons life. unfortunately Min Gi was earlier than me, the little bitch. And had told father about my love 'affair' with Seungyeon. Father told me very simply 'I refuse to help that little girl, If she dies, she dies. We can find you all the servants you want to fall in love with." And that was that. Even when I begged my father to reconsider all he did was yell at me 'To never ask him again' in his Alpha Tone.All I could do was visit Seungyeon in the dead of night. Each night I would stroke her hair and kiss her again and again. Making sure that Hakyeon was sleeping I would sometimes pick her up and escape to the garden so she could get some fresh air. Unfortunately she wasn't improving. One time as we were sitting outside she began to cough up blood, awakening a guard. afraid to be seen I ran off hiding in a bush until the guards took her back to her room. I came out of hiding and began to cry uncontrollably. For the first time I felt so very helpless.One day Hakyeon came to us moaning and muttering, begging us to help as Seungyeon died. Before I could follow him out the room however Min Gi boomed out a command in his Alpha tone:"YOU CAN NOT LEAVE." He told me and I stop unwillingly at the door, physically unable to open the door. Uselessly I began to cry once more. Once again I had begun to hate my brother.I let her die and he thought killed  me each day. Eventually a year passed and Min Gi and I turned 20, I refused to do the ceremony which led Min Gi to refuse. Actually he told me"At least you have me." Smiling sweetly and pulling me to our shared room. A room he insisted we shared despite being old. Actually we were the same as we had been when we were younger, always together. Just like I was before I would follow Min Gi but now we had Hakyeon only to play with."Hakyeon..today I'm going to play with you." I pulled him out of his bed and pushed him to his bathroom. I waited for him on his bed which was a bit of a mistake because he found the bed a little dirty.He came out of the bathroom with wet hair and I called him over to dry it. Hakyeon stuck to me sometimes. Sometimes I would help him learn to read but other times I would push him away and end up beating him up badly because he reminded me of Seungyeon too much. Of course most of my bitter hfeelings of hate was for my brother but I couldn't be civil when I looked at Hakyeon for too long. When he set up a shrine for Seungyeon, I ended up smashing the flower vase and ripping apart the letters he had written in sheer anger. I knew I was being illogical but the anger of it all, I surely couldn't hurt my brother. My ALPHA."Today my father wants to see you again..." Hakyeon froze under the towel and when I tried to remove it he pulled the fuzzy towel closer. Covering his face."Do...I-I have to?" He said in a quiet voice. It was a big surprise that day. The moment Hakyeon told us 'No' after Min Gi wanted him to turn into a wolf. Hakyeon refused even though I had warned him, and ocourse Min Gi beat him ferociously."If your Alpha tells you to change. YOU CHANGE." I looked up from the book I was reading and noticed N was still on floor nursing his cuts and bruises chanting 'No' over and over. To be honest I was also curious to see what N looked like, rather if he looked like Seungyeon. she had shown it to me you know. While we were away walking in the woods she showed me her wolf form. It was amazing. Never had I seen such a pure white wolf. Apart from the silverish tips on one of er earsshe was flawless and immaculate.Snapping out of it I dropped the towel I was drying N's hair with and pulled him up."Come." I didn't bother consoling him, simply because I didn't care, yes, father was scary but he wasn't like a big threat or something. Hakyeon would survive. However the trend would follow. After father released Hakyeon, Hakyeon became quieter and shyer of course Min Gi did not like his toys to be ruined by other people, so he told father to 'Quit it!' Of course father loved Min Gi and would do whatever he wanted, however it was only for a bit- when his heat came again the trend started again. My father used the excuse that Omega's who were unmated HAD to be 'helped' during their Heat by an Alpha.So Hakyeon was sent to train in the Colosseum. Father demanded that he be ready to fight the world to protect his sons, but I knew he meant Min Gi... I must admit the training really did help Hakyeon, and as the years went by Hakyeon became stronger and faster than before. All his baby fat had shed and he was a force to be reckoned with. There was one day- I remember it clearly.Hakyeon was lifting a large rock because the instructor wanted him to throw it across the lot. I had seen Hakyeon do it before, when Min Gi had been playing to close to a boulder field and got his leg trapped in one of the cracks. I was near by and before I could help Hakyeon was already by Min Gi's side pushing the boulder off him like it was a pebble. So it bewildered me that Hakyeon was having so much trouble now."Push it up N!" In the collose um every fighter was given a new code name. Only the officials at the Choi Household were allowed to call them by their real names so they used numbers and codes to call each other."I-I" Suddenly N gave up and feel on his butt. He was sweaty and breathing hard and as I looked at him I could tell that he was suffering. I think it's because he looks so much like Seungyeon. Maybe that was why I wanted to go and help but I also wanted to let him suffer-alone.  Before I could decide however my father appeared and as I bowed to him I saw him picl up Hakyeon, bridal style, and take him away. To where I was not sure but I felt odd...Later on that night as I turned a corner I saw it. Hakyeon being thrown out of my fathers room-naked. I looked at his form carefully but before I could approch a maid ran to him from the other direction."N!" She cried out picking him up because he could hardly walk, but as she lifted him I smelt it, stronger that before. It was a salty and metallic smell, the smell of Hakyeon's blood as it rolled down his leg. I walked away with that knowledge, unsure of what I had seen, I went back to Min Gi who just wanted to sleep with me tonight. If I could forget what I saw this night I would be eternally grateful to Min Gi... Min Gi POV   You can say that my birth was a big success. Mother told me that I had overpowered Zitao before she gave birth, apparently I had been choking him with my umbilical chord (I don't feel bad) and when I came out I was healthy and strong- my brother? Not so much. For four months I was put in a nursery of my own and waited on 24/7, because I was an Alpha, but my brother who was sickly was put in a separate room. Of course nurses watched over him 24/7 as well but he couldn't play. He didn't have strength to move and have fun with his maids and so his room was rather dull and boring. A cold atmosphere with lots of medical things, my mother told me. I was a special birth, the first youngest son to become Alpha. Not only that Zitao and I were the first set of twins born to a royal family since the Im Household had fallen.At the age of four my brother and I were sent into the coliseum to complete rigorous training and while I was able to learn to skills of sword fighting pretty early. My brother wasn't even holding his sword properly. When we were set to spar each other one day I knocked him out cold using the hilt of my sword. Truthfully I hated him, despite being so weak, mother still favored him over me- I was the Alpha-I was how dare she even rank my Beta of a brother higher against me.But unexpectedly I had helped him. I had broken his nose and mother made father send him to academic school. There we found out was where Zitao belonged. Like my sword skills he was sharp and clever, much better than I was that's for certain. However he retained a friendly relationship with me. Even though I despised him secretly he never once showed me anything that could prove he hated me. Whenever I was struggling in academic he would help me and teach me as best as he could.There was one day that my brother god really sick and couldn't come to classes. Even though he lay in bed with a high fever he helped me. I know I was being a brat- asking him to help- but I just wanted it. I didn't know why at the time but maybe I had begun to hate Zitao less... Because of me however is fever rose and he was in and out of consciousness, I got scared. So far I had always been with Zitao, Zitao was always there. Waiting for me after sparring, teaching me stuff and laughing with me when we would bully the maids. What would I do if he died? So I cried at his bed, praying that he would return to me.He woke up to me me crying on the side of his bed."M-Min Gi??" He startled me and I shot up quickly"Don't cry..." He reached out to my face and I leaned back down so he could touch it."Please don't leave me yet." I sounded so desperate and childish, but I admit it. I'd be lost without Zitao. He just smiled at me, still groggy"I  promise, I'll always be with you, right here. Never leave me either. I love you Min Gi." Those words struck chords in my heart and I smiled, forever grateful.In two days we were back to exploring the grounds and thankfully Zitao did not remember what had happened in the room- well even if he did he would have to beat the truth out of me. I would NEVER admit to being so weak. So we continued forward and it was the same as always. Zitao and Min Gi, Min Gi and Zitao, whenever the maids would whisper things about father of even me my brother wouldn't even bat an eyelash. Truthfully his void emotionless state brought me the most comfort and I would hold his hand whenever I could.One day after I had sword fighting class Zitao came running to me after hearing the maids talking."What?" I was sweaty and my sword was dirty so before I put it away I wiped my sword, then put it in it's hilt."We got new servants..." Zitao told me quietly. Zitao knew how much I loved servants, they were weak and supposed to do whatever I said- it was so fun, so I grew excited, even as he told me with a blank look and an overly bored tone. Zitao didn't like people much, he preffered to watch me 'punish' the maids that ruin my fun and join in.'Ooh new toys?" Zitao cringed at the word 'toys' but we both journeyed downward into the dungeons. WE walked a good while until I heard crying and a high-pitched voice."Stop crying. Please stop crying Hakyeon. Please." She was too busy consoling some moving creature, arm wrapped around it, to notice usstanding beside the metal bars which held them captive, or rather she was ignoring us. Either way it annoyed the hell out of me so I shook the metal bars to get her attention.She was really dirty and her hair was a total mess but it was long and plentiful. I bet it would look really pretty if a maid washed it..."You should play with us." I smirked at the girl with the long hair. I think Id call her 'Little girl'-even if she was older she was still inferior. Wanting to play I reached back, I doubt Zitao knew, before we had gotten to the cell I had snatched the keys from a guard as he walked past us. I flashed the keys to the cell and of course Zitao looked at me weirdEffortlessly I opened the cell door and went in to pull the little girl up. She was actually about the same height as Me but Zitao had said she was 8, a year oler than us. To be so short and she was fairly skinny you could tell she had been malnourished. When Zitao pulled her roughly by her arm the small... boy she was comforting earlier got up to protest.I just pushed him back and took the girl from the prison. The dirty, whiny little boy would have to stay put for now."Why aren't you taking my brother as well?" She looked back to the boy who had crawled to the closed cell doors, rattling them to be let out as well. Min Gi just pulled her along despite her weak pulling and complaining, they walked into the garden."I don't want to play with him, (He's dirty- you however are rather pretty)... I like your hair." I yyanked on her hair rather roughly causing her to cry out from the pain, but I just laughed surprised that she couldn't take a little pain."Let her go." I stopped laughing. It wasn't often but sometimes Zitao would tell me to stop hurting the maids of whatever. Like he was bigger than me, but he was dead wrong."Your telling ME what to do? You might be older but remember your level. I'm the Alpha." I growled a little too revved up and Zitao had no choice to bow his head in apology. I felt bad doing it and seeing Zitao bow to me was cruel. It always reminded me that I would never be my brother equal, simply because I was stronger than him..."Sorry brother." I dismissed the issue, ignoring the hurt looked that passed over Zitao's face quickly and went back to pulling and playing with the little girls hair. After pushing her around for a while I got a little bored so I asked her for her name. When she refused to tell me I got mad again and slapped her- breaking the skin on her lip."I'm Seungyeon." She growled at me and I smiled at her spunk. She was a fighter- I liked fighters, or rather I liked challenges. I brought her back to her cell and threw her back in."You can stay here and learn manners!" I growled to her, after all total obedience was how to survive in this Household. My brother and I parted ways once we were upstairs and as I came into my room I felt lonely, so I went to my brothers room."Don't tell father we went in the dungeons." I nodded, I wasn't sure why but if Zitao was so smart ofcourse I trusted him. After all I was the future leader of the Choi household, and Zitao was to lead with me. He promised we would always have one another after all.I went back to my room after Zitao fell asleep, before I left kissing him cheek and pulling the blanket over him some more. So in my room I thought more about Seungyeon. Zitao didn't have much awareness but surely even he could tell that with a little sprucing up and a little more meat on her bones, Seungyeon would be the talk of the town. It was about a week after we had played with Seungyeon that I made up my mind. It was no fun playing with the maids, who were older and weak-willed. I wanted Seungyeon, so I went to father holding onto Zitao"We want to play with them!" Min Gi yelled at father and pouting to get his way."But their of lowly birth." my mother spoke up this time but seeing how I cared little for her and her opinion I chose to ignore her."I want to play with Seungyeon and Hakyeon!" Father grew surprised that we even knew their names but he regained his cold facial expression."Do you want to have them?" My mother called for Zitao and he let go of my hand went into her embrace and I looked on bitterly. Even though she was cold to me, she loved Zitao a lot."Yes." Zitao nodded then she looked up at me and I smirked, even your son listens to me you old hag.So with that they both agreed to give us the twins and brought them upstairs giving them a room to stay in. It was a small room, used for storage at the end of the hall near the playroom. And so the twins were to play with us whenever we wanted.However Zitao's mother insisted on cleaning Seungyeon and Haykeon properly before letting them play with us (him) and so two days after Father gave them to us, they came to us. I was correct to think that Seungyeon would be a be a beauty if she was cleaned up. Her hair was shiny and long. I watched as my hands stroked througth the luscious strands easily. I had noticed that the boy standing next to her as well. Was he that one from the cell she was in? He was smaller than her and darker than her but he was just as lovely. His long, unruly hair had been cut to his shoulders and it fit his small face. I could see the resemblance now."Oh~ You two looks so nice~" I circled around the two, nodding happily. Genuinely pleased by the drastic change. "Thank you Alpha." Seungyeon said, shocking both of us and making her blush and point at me angrily(?)."Don't blame me! Your stupid mother told me to call you Alpha *Even though your not mine*" She grumbled at the end but I still heard it earning her a slap which made her brother cry out. Pretty early on, Seungyeon had told us that he could not talk. Despite all the effort I made, pulling his hair and beating him up, to little jerk refused to talk back to me as his charming sister did. I often got to see Seungyeon act angry for punishing her brother, but how could I not smile at the way her lips were shaped or how when she got mad her ears would turn red. It was amsuing watching her protect her brother only to end up on the floor."Weakling." She told my brother and I got really bad again so I slapped her, knocking her back down."Only I can mess with my brother, you better learn manners and lower your eyes when you talk to us little one." How dare she call my brother a weakling?!I actually liked arguing and being yelled at by Seungyeon, crazy as it was, I could only assume that I had a crush on her. Her brother however clung to herrestlessly and annoyingly so whenver she was away to (madandatory) speech lessons, I would bully her brother a little more. My brother would look at me doing this and would remain silent, and watching. Sometimes an amused look would pass on his face and it felt like I was being rewarded for doing a good job.So like this, seven years passed by. As Seungyeon grew up she of course grew prettier, all the other royal boys would look at her and smile and blush. They were smitten with my doll. Too bad she was MINE. I warned the maids not to cut her beautiful and rich waist-length hair. Her eyes were mischievous and often she would take us on strange adventures She held onto Zitao and my hand carefully, leading us into new places or imaginary worlds.However I saw it sometimes. Sometimes Seungyeon would squeeze Zitao's hand or make him laugh. She would naturally go to him when we were apart and often I would catch her just loooking at him. A few years back I caught her touching my brother face as he slept."What are you doing?" I asked her but she just pulled away and ran off after telling me 'nothing'. I got angry again but looking at how peaceful my brother's face was all I felt was pain. I  went to my sleeping brother side remembering that he had promised to be with me forever. 'I love you' he had told me. A few years back forced Seungyeon to kiss me, I had forced her to dress up all princess like and braid her hair down. She looked breath-taking and my need to kiss her grew. So I did.I ignored her struggling to kiss her but before I could continue my stomach churned in disgust. It was disgusting and I pushed her away. Now, as I looked at my brother I tried kissing him. It was a sweet taste and his lips were tender but realizing what I was doing- I ran out of his room and into mine in a panic. When I got in my room I remembered that I had blindfolded Hakyeon and told him to stay put until I told him to go. Good. I needed something to distract me anyway.After my little 'Game time' with Hakyeon, Seungyen came to talk to me again but this time I pushed her away. Unwilling to argue and somehow I felt mad at her. Now I saw that she liked my brother quite a bit, and I was mad at her for liking him when she was mine. If she had hope in being with Zitao she was wrong however. Zitao was unmoving and emotionless, he would never bow down to the will on someone of such a lowly status.One day however I was proved wrong. There in the garden, Seungyeon was fast asleep, Hakyeon in her arms, asleep as well. And there was Zitao...playing with her hairs that were falling off the bench and almost touching the ground. I grew really angry but instead of ating out to itao I had no one to talk to. Jelous, I crept up behind Zitao, pretending to be oblivious."What are you doing?" I crept up to Zitao and scaed him, his shout of surprised woke up Seungyeon and Hakyeon)."Nothing just playing with Seungyeons hair- you said you liked it too." I put his fingers in her hair as well, nodded along despite the anger I felt in the pit of my stomach."Your probably right.... I have and Idea how about we play barber shop today?" We played this when we were little but had stopped as we grew up so I guess everyone was surprised by my suggestion.  When go tinto my room I sat Hayeon down on a chair and strapped him in. I just pretended to cut his hair.After I was done it was Seungyeon's turn but as I was getting ready the concern on Zitao's face. I could see it in my peripheral vision and it annoyed me to no end. So when I had the scissor in my hand I pulled her hair into one and chopped it off. He brunet locks falling to the bedroom floor- messing up the carpet. Seugyeon cried out and Zitao got up to pull my collar."What did you do?!" I pushed him away unstrapping her from his barber shop chair. He glared at him as he helped Seungyeon up and all I could do to not use my Alpha voice was laugh."Why should I stop after she BELONGS to us. Stop acting like she's your lover or something. Disgusting." I got serious at the end snarling at Seungyeon who was still holding onto Zitao. She bowed to me and apologized but I snubbed her leaving Zitao to fix the mess. Un knowingly Hakyeon had followed me. As I sat on a bench he tapped my face and pulling his mouth up to 'smile'. Often Zitao and Seungyeon would be in another world so hakyeon began to follow me around. Maybe in some way we were both loosing our beloved twins...One time, when we were 18 Zitao casuallly told him that he liked how nice Seungyeon's skin was. Ofcourse this infuriated me and I soon found a way to calm down. While Zitao had his lessons I would play with Seungyeon. Iwould burn her with my cigarretes or even a lighter to ruin her 'beautiful' skin- I was supposed to be the one thing in my brothers life he was allowed to show emotions to. Only with me could Zitao be himself...When Zitao found out he got really mad at me and I got violent. I ended up turning into my light borwn wolf-forcing my brothe to turn into his dark brown wolf."What are you doing!" I pinned him down andmy Alpha came out, my Alpha began to growl commands for Zitao to stop and to 'not move'. Acctacking me over some wench- what other choice did I have but to making him bow to me completely?"Why do you love her?! She's nothing! NOTHING!" I was furious and I finally admitted what was wrong. itao was surprised by it all, that I knew...had known... It was his turn to get angry as well and he used his Beta to yell right back at me."I do! I love her and even if I'll be hated by you forever  will marry her-because I LOVE her!" I growled violently then ran off into the forest, sick of it all really.When I got to the cleaing in the forest I saw it. There in the clearing two white wolfs were playing around. Both had black tiara-like crowns and black tipped ears. I stared at then, approaching slowly but I stepped on some dry leaves and they heard me. Fleeing to whever they had come from. I tirred to run after them but they were fast and agile.After Zito basically confessed that he no longer cared about me, only her I began to play only with her brother. Well at first it was playing///Until I kissed Hakyeon. I only did it because he was comforting me and for one second, just one I wanted to feel Zitao again. I wanted to pretend to explore his mouth and devower his sweetness. N tasted like Cranberry and Peaches, It was a wonderful combination but nohing could beat Zitao's Chocolate flowered lips.Soon we celebrated our 19th birthday and I caught Seungyeon kissing my brother as she gave him a secret present. The book I had in my hand was crushed and I contained myself, I did not want to turn into a wolf 'For no reason' here. After he left I took Seungyeon with me."Isn't you birthday rather close as well?" I smiled at her and she backed of saying that she didn't want anything from me. I commanded her to wait and asked the maid to sent up some Ginger tea to my room. As they were preparing it I snuck into Zitao's room and broke into his cabinet. There he had a lot of chemicals and herbs so I looked until I found it. Wolfsbane. When the tea came to my room I turned from her watchful eye to sprinkle the Waolfsbane in the tea. Just a little would make her sick as a dog for a while- Too much would kill her. I wasn't in the murder business so I only used a little.Days later and Seungyeon was sick as a dog- like I predicted. Zitao who had been avidly ignoring me asked me about what I had done."Oh. Seungyeon, I gave her some wolf's bane tea but she got so sick..." Before I could find some fake pity, Zitao had pinned him to the bed ready to punch me."WHAT." He growled. Deadly serious-  mean how could he even. Why would he even."Seungyeon belongs to me, thus I can do what even I want to her! I didn't even given her a lot." T rolled my eyes at him and pushed him off. I straightened my clothes, picking up the fallen magazine.I had predicted that Zitao would go to father- unfortunately I was earlier than him-ha. i listened to the two speak in the main hall and even when Zitao begged my father to reconsider all he did was yell at him 'To never ask him again' in his Alpha Tone.After the incident I forced him to share a room with me. That was he would be closer to me. Every night, I knew that Zitao snuck out to go see his 'precious' Seungyeon. She was still sick, almost a month later a while it did linger in my mind it quickly went away.One day as Zitao sat on the couch reading and I sat on the bed eating Hakyeon came to us moaning and muttering, begging us to help as Seungyeon. Zitao jumped up and my Alpha just took over me and I boomed out a command in my Alpha tone:"YOU CAN NOT LEAVE."  You coul tell that he was struggling against my commmend for sometime until he fell  to the floor and becang to sob uselessly. I gave Zitao everything from then on. I held onto him at night sometimes refusing to let them split us up when I was trying to get my way. Eventually a year passed and Min Gi and I turned 16, I refused to do the ceremony which led Min Gi to refuse. Actually he told me:"At least you have me." Smiling sweetly and pulling me to our shared room. A room he insisted we shared despite being so old. Actually we were the same as we had been when we were younger, always together. Just like I was before I would follow Min Gi but now we had Hakyeon only to play with.Hopefully father would let us in on the training he gave Hakyeon. I guess he wasn't allowed to show us his wolf because one day I ordered him to change and he refused immediately."If your Alpha tells you to change. YOU CHANGE." Zitao looked up from the book, looking emotionless as usual but his eyes shone with interest- however Hakyeon was still on the floor nursing his cuts and bruises chanting 'No' over and over.To be honest I was so damn curious to see what N looked like, I had never seen him change when we were younger or rather he refused to change into his wolf. Thinking back I had never seen Seungyeon change into a wolf either but for some reason N reminded me of a white wolf I had seen years ago. It was decided that Hakyeon was to be our bodyguard. Father had told us that at 19 Hakyeon should not be a playmate. A guard would suit him better 'would it not?' my father told us. I agreed and Zitao siad 'Whatever' which was his approval. I guess.So Hakyeon was sent to train in the Colosseum. Father demanded that he be ready to fight the world to protect his sons. I must admit the training really did help Hakyeon, and as the years went by Hakyeon became stronger and faster than before. All his baby fat had shed and he was a force to be rekoned with. There was one day- I remember it clearly.Hakyeon and I were kissing when I ripped off his shirt, smelling something irresistible however before I could continue Hakyeon ran off. Frightened. Bored I sat on a bench looking at N practice. He was fine until the teacher commanded him to lift a boulder. Anyone could tell that he was struggling with the command.With my super hearing I listened in too the conversation as well."Push it up N!" In the colosseum every fighter was given a new code name. Only the officials at the Choi Household were allowed to call them by their real names so they used numbers and codes to call each other."I-I" Suddenly N gave up and feel on his butt. He was breathing pretty hard from what I could hear. Before any of the other staff could take him away my father appeared only to pick up Hakyeon, bridal style, and take him away. To where I was not sure but I felt odd...Later on that night Zitao came into our shared bedroom, unable to sleep and reading a book. I could tell he was troubled so I told him that I wanted to sleep with him. The best part about sleeping with Zitao was that he didn't wear shirts. His slim and muscular body rubbed against my naked torso and I fell asleep excited. WHERE HAS THE TIME GONE!?!
