ELDER BROTHER

It was an hour later that Edrey arrived back at their mansion. He stopped outside the large metal rail gates and waited as the security machine extended to confirm his identity. He placed his eye in front of the circular machine and waited as his eye was scanned.

Once the door was open, he slowly drove past the first gate. There was a second gate that led into the main house. Just before the gate was a garden. Although Edrey's mother did not personally oversee it, it was part of the things that she liked to have since it coincided with her plant ability. That was the reason why she had planted three gardens in their home.

There was a hovercar standing just outside the main doors. It was a sleek vehicle, with the front slimming down and the back expanding up. The color was white and there was a small mark on the driver's door, indicating that it was a taxi.

Edrey stopped at the main gate on his hovercycle and stared at the car he had never seen before. A man sat in the front seat, looking around at the rarely open White Mansion.

The large doors that led to the house opened up just after Edrey had revved his cycle's engine, ready to take it to the garage. Gorover walked down the steps two at a time. His blue hair swished in the wind. The shade of blue was light, matching his light skin tone.

Just after he had reached the last step, his brown eyes flitted over to where Edrey had stopped his cycle. A large smile pulled his lips up, and he raised his hand, ready to call out his name and beckon him over. Edrey blinked twice and turned his cycle before Gorover could call out his name, driving in the direction of the garage. Although it was childish on his part, he could feel the clenching of his heart and it almost made him dizzy.

Thanks to the strong wind, he had clearly smelt the pheromones of another omega on the alpha's body. The pheromones were mild, almost smelling like a lavender flower. If he were to connect a color to the scent, it would be purple, Gorover's favorite color.

Although he still was hesitant to believe it, with the proof laid bare in front of him, he had no other choice than to finally accept that Gorover no longer belonged to him. A sad smile made its way up his lips as he parked the hovercycle in its position. The White garage was empty, but it was full. This meant that his father was home.

The thought did not calm Edrey down. Instead, he bowed his head over the handles of his hovercycle and allowed tears to pour down his cheeks.

It was twenty minutes later that he walked into the mansion. The bottom of his eyes was a light pink, which was easily visible due to his pale skin tone. Servants in the mansion were carrying boxes and pulling trolleys that hovered a few inches above the air. Some of them bowed after seeing Edrey before going on with their work.

The surrounding air was cold, colder than usual, and even the betas in the mansion could feel it. Although it was uncomfortable for most, this cold sensation was a welcome feeling to Edrey. He frosted over the tips of his fingers and tapped them underneath the bottom of his eyes. Although it did nothing to help the color, it lessened the slight swelling his eyes had.

He then took the stairs two steps at a time, running up to the second floor. Servants who were carrying things, or conducting their cleaning, stopped moving once they saw him, giving him space to run up the stairs. Those who had worked in the mansion long enough smiled once they saw this.

"It has been a while since the first young master came home." One servant said.

"It is good that they have such a good relationship. I heard that the Gray family hasa been having quarrels over who will inherit the title after the old man is gone."

"Heh. Meanwhile, our young masters look like little rabbits." A third servant joined in.

"It is good that they aren't quarreling. The pay is good, and the family is easy to serve. But it is easy to lose the job when you're slacking off like this." One of the oldest servants appeared out of nowhere, interrupting their conversation. "Get back to work!"

"Yes sir!" the gossiping servants echoed before scampering away.

Edrey stopped at one of the doors on the second floor. The bottom of the door was slightly white, frozen with ice. The ice was cold, and the air in the room caused the coldness to seep through the door and into the hallway. The cold wasn't something that concerned Edrey, seeing as his own body was cold from his own ice ability.

Edrey took in a deep breath, smelling the pheromones pouring out of the room and confirming that the room's owner was not in a rut, before knocking twice.

"Brother." He called out after knocking. From inside the room, Edrey heard something get knocked over, and the husky voice of his older brother as he cussed.

A small smile caused Edrey's lips to pull up. It was almost as if the pain he had previously felt in his heart was no longer there.

"Edy." The ice freezing the bottom part of the door slowly melted, dripping a little water onto the carpeted floor as the door was pulled open from the inside.

Standing on the other side of the door was a tall alpha male. He was tall, towering over Edrey's six-foot tall height with seven inches more. His hair, much like Edrey's, was a curly pale white. He had allowed it to grow long, thus his bangs hang over his eyes, hiding the blue orbs that were underneath.

The two tall males stared at each other for a few seconds, with red orbs staring into blue orbs. This was before the taller male jumped up and hugged his younger brother, wrapping his arms and legs around him and hanging on his body like Edrey was a tree and he was a koala.

Edrey froze, and the smile dropped from his face. "Get off me you giant. You've gotten fat. You're heavy."

The alpha male tilted his head and looked up at the shorter male. Then, as if he had not heard the male's complaints, he rubbed his cheek into Edrey's neck and took a deep breath.

"It's not fat. It's muscles. Muscles I say." His voice was low as he grumbled. "I haven't seen you in two weeks. Can't you show a little more excitement over seeing your eldest brother, hm?"

"What excitement should I be feeling if you just jump onto me like this."

"Even then, there should be excitement. When was the last time you saw me? Hm?" Just after he had said that the pitter-pattering of footsteps echoed through the hallway. The two alpha males in the White family shared the second floor of the house. When Edrey had stopped on the floor, his pheromones had filled the space, which had alerted the youngest child that his favorite brother was in his space.

Teremie, the youngest in the White family, appeared from the end of the hallway. Once he saw his two elder brothers, his face dropped.

He ran up to them. "Afitraaaaa." He shouted once he reached them. Then, he wrapped his palm around their eldest brother's hand and pulled with as much strength as he could. "Stop making Edy carry you. You'll squash Edy. Edy's mine." The little boy pulled with all his strength, but it was obvious that his strength was in no way comparable with their eldest brother's strength.

Once he came to this realization, his bottom lip quivered, and he raised his hand, punching his brother's back with as much strength as he could. Pheromones flew in the air, as Teremie controlled his ice power and froze the shirt that Frita was wearing. Since he was young, he still did not have control over his ice ability since he had yet to differentiate into his secondary gender.

Edrey was surprised, as the ice caused the eldest brother's back to become cold.

The one who was most surprised was Frita, as he lowered his hand, and slowly let go of Edrey.

Once he had the ruined shirt off, he grabbed Teremie by the scruff of his shirt and raised him a few inches into the air. "It seems I've been gone too long that you forgot that we are sharing our brother."

Teremie struggled, trying to pour his ice out to fight with his elder brother. However, he was not able to get out of his brother's grasp.

Edrey on the side, let out a small peal of laughter. He knew better than anyone, that despite the fact that the two of them fought so often, they, in fact, loved each other as much as they loved him.

He took a small step forward, and as he did with his two alpha friends, he grabbed the ear of his elder brother and pulled. "Let go of Terrie, Afrita."
