~Present Day~
"That night, two pivotal events happened to me..." Morden murmured, his gaze still far away, lost in the recollection of a past as it had been told to him.
"On that night, I came into this world...and on the same night, I claimed my first life..." Morden said,
A mirthless chuckle accompanied his words as he lifted his hands up to his view, staring down at them like they were the most interesting thing he had ever seen.
"My mother's sisters tell me I ripped my way out of my mother's belly, by some means... putting an end to her life in the process." Morden revealed, a depraved glint in his eyes.
"You see, my mother was no wolf shifter. How could she understand that delivering the child of an Alpha King in the absence of the midwives skilled at birthing a werewolf was certain death?" Morden asked no one in particular.
