Chapter 579 All for power

This was the kind of life that Curtin lived. The day he was born was practically a public holiday for the City of Milk and Honey. 

After all, he was the firstborn child of the Alpha and also a male child. There were many who believed he was destined for great things and his mother gathered favor from many great and powerful men for the art of giving birth to the first child of the Alpha. 

However, the then Alpha only gazed upon her and the baby Curtin in her hands for a bit and then turned and left. 

As he left, he only spoke a few words, "they will be others!" 

That was it. Only those few words. He did not even take baby Curtin in his hands, and in the Alpha\'s eyes, Curtin\'s mother could tell that he really meant what he had said. There were going to be other children and certainly, many of them might not even be from her.

This made Curtin\'s mother very angry. She was well aware of the depths of those words. After all, for the Alpha to climb to his position, she had been one of his many supporters. She had given her all to be by his side and be called his woman. 

And now, she had blessed him with an heir, but all he saw was another child who would struggle for his position. 

It was as if as the alpha stared at the child in her hands, the only thing he saw was blood and pain. 

However, she wouldn\'t have it. 

It was a common practice in this city since time immemorial thousands of years ago, that the children of the Alpha compete amongst themselves both privately and openly for the position of Alpha.

this had always ensured that whosoever it was that sat on that sit as Alpha was a very capable person of indomitable spirit. 

Also, it eliminated any undercurrent opposition to the rule of the Alpha. In this manner, the City was always of one Will, which was the Will of the Alpha.

Such a thing also ensured that the people were loyal to their leader. 

in truth, it was an effective strategy that worked for the good of the Pack as a whole. But on a more personal level, it was terrible. 

This left many women heartbroken from losing their children. 

Curtin\'s mother realizing her son\'s inevitable fate sort a way out. 

She did not want to suffer like she had seen the mothers of those she had brought down for her Alpha. 

And so she hatched a plan to make sure her son was the strongest, toughest, most cunny of them all. 

He had already been given a head start by being the first to be born, and she was going to ensure that this head start was going to take him all the way to the finish line. 

Using the influence she had amassed from the praise and attention, she began his tutelage from the moment he could walk. 

Werewolf children were far stronger than the average child. Naturally, this also meant that they could learn and assimilate even better and faster. 

She got the best of teachers to teach him. the best mathematicians, the best fighters, and of course the best thieves and swindlers. 

She went so far as to even get certain prisoners who were due to die for their crimes to teach her little child their terrible ways. 

He was also allowed to learn from pirates and the best assassins. 

Curtin\'s mother did not care whether it was from the underworld or not. As long as it was possible for her son to learn and she was sure that it would give him the upper hand over his siblings, she did it. 

A mother\'s love was a very kind and heart-felt thing. However, at the same time, it could also become a very dangerous weapon that could consume all in its path. 

With all that Curtin had learned from his young tender age, it was not enough. At least to her, it was not enough. 

She sought more, more power for her son. 

And so in the dead of night, she took a ship and sailed far away. She was going to do whatever it took to make sure that he was on top. 

And right now, when it came to power, there was no one who knew the value of it more than demons. 

However, if she was to ensure that her child got the best that the world had to offer, then an ordinary demon would not suffice. This was most true for the kind of power that she wanted to get. 

She wanted power that would leave her son without question from any opposition. 

At the time, Curtin was only ten. She sailed with him to meet a great demon. This demon\'s name was Mr Augustus. 

To her surprise, this demon had been expecting her arrival. 

It was here that a very deadly and unholy deal was made between the Mother and demon, and a seed of incredible power was planted in the child\'s body. It took several days for this seed to be planted in Curtin\'s body, but it was still done. 

After that was the testing period. 

Mr Augustus left the child of only ten years of age in one of the most incredibly difficult places in the world. 

Yes, Curtin was dumped in Imperilment all alone to fight and defend himself. 

To ensure that her child became the strongest, Curtin\'s mother did not even mind the awful probability that her son could lose his life. 

After all, it was all for him. It was all for power.
