Kayden

Couldn't help myself, I want Ellie hot and ready for me when this meeting is over. Knew if I made her a little angry and annoyed at me it would help her access her powers better. The fact that I will get a good fucking later tonight is just a bonus.

Making my way to the group of men set around the table, with the map of this realm on it, all heads turn in my direction. I have Martin and Tony flanking me, Joshua is still doing a perimeter search with some of the other werewolves.

We stand there a moment looking every being in the eyes. These are some of the men that are willing to fight for us, any one of us could lose our lives in this Realm at any given moment. I nod to everyone, one by one to show my gratitude towards them. They do the same to me in return.

Just as I'm about to say something about how we should begin in the morning, there is some wild commotion coming from inside the forest. Looking to our left, I see Joshua and the other werewolves, they aren't alone. It looks to be two men are being dragged along with them. Cursing the entire way.

When Joshua reaches me, I see the wildness in his eyes. Whoever was caught by some of our fiercest warriors, must be a good catch. Looking to one of my closest friends I watch as he folds his arms over his chest, quirks an eyebrow at me, and does something I rarely see him do. He smiles so large he shows his straight white teeth.

"Oh, fuck man, this ought to be good." Tony says from beside me, rubbing his hands like he's a child in a toy store about to get his just reward.

"Got something for you here." Says one of the werewolves in the group, as he throws what looks like used to be a human in front of my feet. Now whoever this is, he's all bruises and a pile of blood.

Looking to Joshua I quirk my eyebrow his way in question. All he does is nod. Lifting my suit pants, I bend over, with my elbows resting on my knees I examine the person in front of me. It's hard to distinguish who this could possibly be, but when I see the eyes, I know immediately.

My head pops up, and I know my face says it all. I'm surprised and outraged all in one pile of pissed off. The person by my feet, is none other then my oldest brother Adrian. The last time I saw him he was beating the hell out of my mother, another one-off fathers' orders.

"Tie this mother fucker up." I say in a deadly voice.

Joshua picks him up and grabs a thing of rope. Dragging Adrian to a tree he makes with tying him so there is no possible way he can get free. Feeling the anger of the last five years flowing through my blood, I take my suit jacket off, and rip my shirt completely.

Everything feels tight, almost as though its suffocating. Cracking my knuckles, I begin to pace. Trying to keep the beast within me under control. Then I remember there was another person they were dragging along. That one not so bloody.

Turning I make my way to the center of the group where two of the werewolves are holding my older brother by two years by his arms. Mason is grunting in pain. I almost feel sorry for him, but he chose his side five years ago. It was his mistake, and although he's not as bad as our other two brothers I don't feel an ounce of pity for him.

"What you want us to do with him?" Someone in the group asks.

I bend down to my brothers' eye level and grab his chin roughly. Forcing his eyes on mine. He doesn't look pissed or frightened in the least. He just looks sad.

"What should I do with you?" I ask him.

Because the truth is I don't know what I should do with him. Five years ago, is when this war began. He and I were close, not as close as I am with Martin, Joshua, and Tony, but close none the less. He doesn't say anything for a little while. Just looks at me with his sad blue eyes.

"Kill me." Those are his words.

At his words, I look around for Joshua. Knowing I'm looking for him he steps up to me. "What happened to him? Did one of the werewolves do this?" I know it wouldn't be Joshua, he wouldn't have it in him to hurt Mason, unless he was threatening one of the four of us, and now Ellie.

"That piece of shit over there," he nods his head towards Adrian, "was beating the shit out of him." We both look down at Mason who is now slumped on the ground.

"Any idea why?" I ask looking back up at Joshua.

"He just kept saying we always knew you were a pussy. Too much like Kayden, you have a heart." Joshua faces back toward Adrian, and I can tell he wants to kill him right here and now.

"Take mason to one of the cots in your guys' tent. I trust you, Martin, and Tony with him. I know if he wakes up with full strength, he won't be able to take you down, nor will he try." Joshua and Tony nod their heads in agreement.

As they pick my brother up and walk away with him, Martin steps beside me. "You think we will find out what happened five years ago that made him choose your father?" He asks.

"I'm sure he will tell us, but I'm also sure I have an idea." I look to Martin. We look at one another, and he grunts his agreement with me. I'm certain all of us know, and something obviously happened that made Mason decide it isn't worth being father's puppet anymore.

"What you want to do with Adrian?" He has a sneer on his lips as he says his name.

"We will deal with him in a moment, first let's talk with everyone about the plan for tomorrow."

Making our way to the table, we huddle with everyone over the table. Looking at the map we come up with ideas on splitting up into groups. A mix of every kind so there is no disadvantage at all if they happen to come upon any of my fathers' men.

Positive we won't find the devil himself until he wants to be found. That's just my father's way of doing things. Let his men die first to weed out what is going down around him, then when you least expect it, he'll show up behind you with the knife ready to stab you.

Telling the stories of how he was the greatest in the war. All the way how he took his enemies down. When he never got his hands dirty. Not once came up with a plan, and never was seen stepping into the battlefield.

Why would he when he has sons and his loyal dogs to do everything for him. That's how this all began. I never agreed with his way of thinking. How he wanted the supernatural world to be. So, we have been fighting on opposing sides for the last five years. Both knowing someday it would come to this.
