{THE SUPREME COVEN}
At a round large table, the Coven elders were already seated for the monthly meeting but someone was missing.
The old Master was escorted inside and everyone seated rose from their seated, a gesture that showed the respect they have for the head of the Coven.
"Where is Seth?" He asked looking around carefully before he sat down slowly.
His eyes appraised every faces present but the familiar one he was expecting to see what missing.
Ryan whispered to the person standing beside him and he left in a hurry.
A smug look and a smirk tugged at his lips.
The old Master had forbid them from fighting eachother and that has forced them into a fake truce.
As the oldest offspring, his sole aim is to get rid of every obstacle on his path to become the Coven next leader.
And that obstacle is none other than Seth.
But over the years, Seth had grown stronger and more powerful than he expected.
He also has more authority within the clan, leaving him desperate and at a tight corner.
"Call your brother, he knows this meeting can't proceed without him" The Old master commanded Ryan.
Ryan's expression changed at his father's words.
He wasn't expecting him to be more open about his favouritism.
"Father, we can start without him. I'm sure he would meet us here" Ryan persuaded with a fake and rigid smile.
His mission tonight was simple, he needs his father's permission to take charge of one of the night clubs in the city but he was sure Seth would be against him if he was to be present.
The door burst open suddenly and Seth rushed in, breathless.
He bowed briefly to his father before he went to occupy his seat beside his brother.
The old Master nodded in approval and signalled for the meeting to commence.
Ryan's mouth was set in a thin line as he fought to remain composed.
Everything he put in place to make tonight work just went to waste.
"Are you bored with your little human?" Ryan asked Seth through gritted teeth.
While everyone paid attention to the meeting, the two brothers engaged in a battle of words.
"Not close, I guess you are not satisfied with the nonsense you did with the prisoners hence you started spying on me" Seth's anger brewed below the surface.
He had gone to a club he hated tonight and even when the only way he could get entry he went with a human.
And he still went there.
He normally wouldn't care about those rules and do whatever pleases him but he decided to abide by it because he really needed to meet that person but something or someone had tampered with it making it impossible.
And he ended up coming back late too, his knuckles made a cracking noise as his fist tightened.
He was beyond himself with anger, and he really needed to take it out on someone.
***
The meeting ended and everyone disperse, Seth followed his father on his command. Getting Ryan jealous again for that extra attention.
"Why didn't he call for me too?" He asked his right hand man as he lit a cigarette after the room finally emptied.
"I'm sure it's nothing important" His companion responded and he turned a pair of furious eyes at him.
"He could have went alone, why did he call that mutt?" He asked, almost yelling.
"Because he can't stand your sick face" Seth replied slowly as he walked back in.
He had followed his father outside the door but never went with him, hence he heard everything Ryan said.
"You must have hit your head on something brother" Ryan replied with a dark chuckle.
"If your slutty mother hadn't seduced him, I wouldn't have to deal with a shit in your form"
Ryan continued angrily.
His eyes turned dark and fangs extended.
Seth moved closer, his fingers extending.
The fight they had been avoiding was no longer avoidable.
Without a second thought, Ryan hit Seth across the face with a loud smack.
The impact of his fist made Seth move back a little bit.
Blood drawing to the corner of his lips.
He slowly wiped at the blood while his eyes went darker.
He let out a dry chuckle as his knuckles crackled in the silent room and the both of them stood ready to pounce on each other.
Although Ryan was more a decade older than Seth, Seth stood at almost a foot taller than him and with wider shoulders and biceps.
When it comes to physical ability Ryan was no match for him.
Using his super speed, he cross the space between them and his hand went straight for Ryan's throat.
Ryan's eyes widened as he struggled against his hold.
His fingers tearing at his hand.
As a hybrid with both a PSI and Sanguinarian traits, he effortlessly lifted him off the ground and threw him at the opposite wall.
Ryan fell to the ground and went into a coughing fit.
His eyes became bloodshot as he suddenly hunger for revenge.
"Instead of worrying about me, I think you should worry about yourself and stop putting your nose in my business" Seth warned in a low voice as he wiped his hand on a paper towel he picked off the table.
"I will just kill you and explain to father, one of us has to inherit this empire. And the second one has to die" Ryan said with a bloody grin as he picked himself off the ground.
"Oh, and I think you should go if you don't want your little human to die" Ryan announced as he carelessly sat down at the spot his father had vacated.
"What did you do?" Seth asked in a low voice betraying the anger in his mind.
Ryan shrugged and throw his head back as he laughed loudly.
"Shit!" Seth cussed before he hurried out of the door and almost ran to the parking lot.
"What's going on?" Jack asked in confusion as he noticed the urgent look on Seth's face.
"Start the fucking car!" Seth ordered.
