*-*_THE ALPHA PRINCE'S POV_*-*
--
Chasing some of the rogue werewolves supporting the rebel faction against the monarch family must be apprehended.
Leading a group of elite warriors in the middle of the woods.
Sprinting our way through.
Hoping to catch those fiends before they could make some damage.
-Bam!-
-Bam!-
A loud sound of gunshots was heard nearby.
'Prepare for battle, everyone!' I prompted my elite warriors behind me through the mind-link.
{_Mind-Link_}
A telepathic ability of a werewolf to communicate through their minds.
In unison, they replied together.
'COPY, ALPHA!'
…
The moment the targets were sighted.
An unconscious human was already on the ground wounded.
Looks like we were already too late.
But at least there are still some survivors.
Two of them.
…
After we defeated the rogue werewolves.
I told my elite warriors to leave one alive.
Knocking them out wasn't sufficient.
They must be set as an example to those who dare go against the monarch.
Slowly, the rogue werewolves shifted back into their human forms.
Revealing their naked self and complete physical identity.
'Gavin! Run some test and identify these rogue werewolves. Interrogate the other one regarding any substantial information about the rebels,' I instructed my Beta about priorities.

After giving out my instruction, a woman who seemed to belong from a rich family stood bravely and no hints of any fear in her eyes.
Strangely, it made me wonder.
Instead of the usual reaction of female humans, she seems to be fascinated at what she just witnessed.
Her scent seems to be unusually pleasant.
Unlike the others which I find common and sometimes irritating.
But her scent… it's making me pull towards her.
'Alpha, Are you alright?' asked by one of my elite warriors.
Shaking my head and going back to the issue at hand.
'Clean this mess and we have to make a report about this incident. Afterwards, try to compensate those humans for the damages caused by this unfortunate incident,' giving them my last instruction before leaving.
…
As usual, I am doing my responsibilities as the Alpha of my wolf pack.
I am Kratos Pearson, twenty two years of age. Up until now I haven't found my mate and it's causing me so much pressure from my father. Within few months, my twenty third birthday will be up.
On the eve of my birthday, I need to find her quickly or else…
I will be marked as a complete disgrace to the royal family.
Being the only freak in the family who has not found his mate yet.
While others meet theirs on their eighteenth birthday.
Usually before they turn twenty, they already found their mate.
That is why the moment a werewolf learn to shift in their wolf form at 15, they are sent for missions so they could meet other werewolves.
My greatest fear though, if in some unacceptable reason… my mate turn out to be a human…
Indeed, I will be branded as a true disgrace to my family.
…
~Hours After~
As I arrive to our wolf pack mansion, Lady Cynthia was already waiting for me with a robe at hand.
Giving out orders to other staff members to prepare my room and everything that I needed.
Within the territory of our wolf pack, a huge mansion owned by my family was under Lady Cynthia's care and supervision.
Surrounded by tight security and tracker werewolves that can identify anyone familiar to them and even those any suspicious entity from afar.
Despite how difficult it can be, I can trust her with everything.
Lady Cynthia is not only the chief of staff in the Crescent Moon Pack Mansion.
She is also the former right hand of my late mother.
My own savior from that tragic night.
…
***FLASH BACK***
…
14 years ago…
…
In the middle of a cold night, we were escaping from the rebels.
The village was on ablaze and ashes.
Covered with a thick fur coat, I held my mother's hand tightly.
Still unable to protect her or even myself that time.
I was too young to protect anybody.
And too weak.
There was chaos all over the village.
…
"Cynthia, take Kratos with you! And hide from the rebels," My mother said to Lady Cynthia.
"No! I want to stay with you!" I insisted.
I added, "I will protect you!"
My tears fell in refusal to leave her.
Her wavy long blonde hair was bright as the sun.
I held on to her, refusing to let her go.
"Sweetie, I want you to go with Cynthia and hide. Mommy promises to find you once everything is over."
"Why are you not coming with us?" I asked her while crying.
"I have a responsibility to protect our people. That's what a true monarch does!"
"DUTY ABOVE ELSE!"
"PEOPLE COMES FIRST BEFORE YOUR OWN!"
I could not comprehend her words because why would she sacrifice herself.
"Promise me… you will come back? And make me some pancakes? There's no one who can make me some pancakes like you do," desperately telling my mother.
Hugging her back tightly.
"PLEASE COME BACK TO ME!"
"I PROMISE!" her last words before leaving me with Lady Cynthia.
She kissed my forehead before saying goodbye.
"I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU, MY HANDSOME LITTLE BOY!"
Then she turned to Lady Cynthia, "Take care of him! He is all that I have."
"I will put even my own life! You can count on me."
"I will owe you big time and… Thank you!"
"Go and help them!" Lady Cynthia told my mother referring to the others fighting the rebels.
…
Then Lady Cynthia grabbed my hand and we hurriedly escape.
With her shifting into her wolf form.
And me… holding on to her fur.
…
*** END OF FLASHBACK ***
If only I knew that would be the last time I would see my mother, I would have hold on to her and not let her go.
From that day forward, I vowed to crush the rebel forces and find the leader of the rebels to exact my revenge for my mother's death.
…
As soon as I shifted back to my human form, Lady Cynthia handed me my robe and began reporting to me.
"CEO & President of the Pride Holdings Enterprise called, asking for a reschedule of the meeting. Because he had a family emergency."
"Doesn't he know that I am Prince Kratos? We don't reschedule!"
"I already told him that but his daughter ran into some trouble." Lady Cynthia explained the situation of one of our allies.
Hearing his reason for not being able to attend the supposed meeting, it reminded me of my mother.
I bet he is worried for his own daughter.
Who am I to stand in between him and his daughter?
"Fine! Tell Richard Pride that I will visit him tomorrow morning in his office."
"As you wish, Alpha!" Lady Cynthia immediately complied with my orders.
I looked at vast sky.
Wishing for my mother to be happy in heaven.
Because I will make the rebels pay for what they have done.
They will regret that they let me live.
