Nero's Dominion: An Affinities Novella

As a child, Nero Corvis thought his biggest rivals would be his step-siblings. Periculand shows him otherwise. After three years in juvie, Nero should be an instant alpha, but Periculand already has a student leader: Avner Stromer. Suffering numerous public humiliations at Avner's hands ignites Nero's thirst for revenge, but that ambition gains him a few more enemies and, eventually, a few allies.
