âAfter my parents married, they had no children for many years because of their relationship. Only later, when their relationship gradually eased, my mother gave birth to Brandon and me. Youâve met Brandon today. I think you can tell heâs very different from me,â Michael said.
âYou mean the level of handsomeness?â
I tried to recall Brandonâs appearance. The most eye-catching thing about him was his golden hair and burly body. Of course, his facial features were also wonderful. However, if Michael could be described as handsome, then Brandon had a tough handsomeness similar to Courtneyâs temperament. They looked like a couple.
Michael laughed. âAlthough everyone says heâs more like Father and Iâm more like Mother, the difference between us isnât just in appearance. Brandon was the first child of my parents. They had high hopes for him and raised him as their heir. And Brandon never let them down. He performed outstandingly in everything. Until...â
âUntil Courtney appeared,â I said.
Michael has already told me about Brandon and Courtney. I was only surprised at that time. However, after coming to the palace, I realized how much courage and boldness Brandon needed to do such a thing. I started to admire Brandon.
âThatâs right.â Michael nodded. âBut Brandon and I are very different. Most of the time, he is a model of obedience. He is the Prince that everyone respects.
âOn the other hand, I was rebellious. I was born with golden pupils, and as I grew older, the beast in my body became more violent. This also made the people around me afraid of me. They attributed my rebellion to my beast and encouraged this trend. My father was very disappointed in me because of this.â
âBut Brandon has only hidden his true self. In essence, you are still the same kind of person. After all, you are brothers,â I commented.
Michael raised his eyebrows and showed an expression of agreement. âBrandon was forced to play the role of the perfect heir. No matter how much of a playboy I was, no one would say anything about me because they had already determined that I was that kind of person. In fact, Brandon is more rebellious than I am. When he made his decision, he was much more determined than I was.â
âNo, youâre better than him,â I exclaimed.
Michael looked at me with a smile and a proud expression.â Of course. No matter who you compare me to, I am the best in your heart.â
This guy was shameless. How could he blow his own trumpet like this?
However, he was right. No one in the world could compare to Michael in my heart. My mate was the most perfect.
âAfter that, when I could control my beast, my father tried to send me out to do things, no matter where, as long as I wasnât in front of him.
âBut I donât want to see him either,â Michael said in a self-deprecating manner. âIâve fully realized his selfishness from what happened to my mother and Brandon. Heâs a good Lycan King but not a good husband or father. He treats all of us as tools to strengthen his rule and completely ignores our feelings. Sometimes, I even feel that he has become a puppet of the title of âLycan Kingâ. He has lost the most basic human emotions.â
I listened to Michaelâs evaluation of his father in silence. I grew up under the love of my parents. It was hard for me to imagine the environment Michael grew up in and the parent-child relationship in the family that sounded so fragile.
As parents, loving their children should be an instinct. How could they treat them as a tool for profit?
I felt sad for Michael. I held Michaelâs hand, trying to pass my strength to him. No matter what, heâd have me in the future. Iâd give him all the love and warmth. He deserved all this.
So, what did you and King say in the room after that? â I asked.
âHuh, about that...â Michael recalled, and a smile appeared on his face. âI shouted at him.â
***
I lay on the bed with Michaelâs even breathing beside me.
I turned around to look at Michaelâs sleeping face. I always felt Michael was as innocent as a child when he was asleep, even though he was much older than me.
I drew a line on Michaelâs nose with my finger. âFool,â I whispered in my heart.
After listening to Michaelâs story that night, I didnât feel sleepy at all. Instead, I kept thinking about what he said about what happened between him and Lycan King in the office after Samuel kicked Sasha and me out.
