Axel had a brother; never once had he mentioned or talked about him, and that was indeed strange. There were

“Adrian had been close to my mother; he was only three years younger than | was. | never really noticed how
distant | and my mother were until the day the soldiers cback with the news that my father, The Beta, had
died in the war. My father was the one person | had looked up to so much; | wanted to be like him; he taught me
so much, and it had been sad, but that was only the beginning of it all. My mother stayed away from me, it was
almost like | wasn’t even a part of the family. Things got worse; my mother becill-famed, she was known in

| couldn’t hold back my gasp.
“Sick right?”
“I'm... I'm so sorry, | don’t know what to say.”
