Flashback

Kevin, 5 years old

I was sitting on the floor playing with monster trucks while waiting for my sister to get done with her bath so I could take one.

I had just made two of the trucks smash into each other when I heard my parents talking to each other in the hallway.

"Which one of the twins is going to rule after us?", I heard my dad ask. One of them sighed. I'm guessing it was my mom, since my dad asked the question.

"I think it should be Lily. Kevin is to violent, you know I can see into the future. He will be the downfall of our entire race. Lily will make it prosper." My mom said.

I froze. How was I going to be the downfall of the race? I love everyone here. Sure I'm violent but I'm a boy, and I'm 5.

Suddenly anger started surging through my veins. How dare they choose her! I'm the rightful heir, as the son. It doesn't matter that Marcus is the oldest, he doesnt care about ruling.

It should be ME.

ME!

Not a silly girl that is more likely to be the downfall because she's a girl.

I had made up my mind that I would rule over our race.

There was no doubt about it.

End flashback

I awoke with a start. I hate that memory. It was the day I realized my sister was valued more than I was.

It was unfair. I was the son. She was the daughter. She isn't supposed to be anything but a pretty little girl that will look good in the family image.

I'm supposed to rule.

I'm powerful. Strong. Persuasive. Intelligent.

I'm perfect.

She's not.

I will be the king, whether I have to destroy her life or not.

That's why me and Lucas made a plan.

She can't be queen if shes pregnant. It's not allowed. No one wants to be ruled by someone who didnt marry then have children.

Lucas was more than happy to oblige.

While I don't want to have him have some doing with the family, he was the only person who wanted her.

It worked out perfectly.

He gets a permanent tie to her.

I get the crown.

Simple.

Easy.

Perfect.
