[-In The Mansion of Prince Kratos-]
The Alpha Prince shared with his executive officers, Lady Cynthia and Gavin, about his meeting with the CEO President of the Pride Holdings Enterprise and his eldest son.
Including the information of finally meeting his savior, Scarlett.
"I found my savior…" The Alpha Prince revealed to his most trusted executive officers.
Unfortunately, his expectations was not met.
"Shouldn't you be happy because you wanted to meet your savior so badly?" Gavin, his Beta, was confused at the grouchy temper of their Alpha Prince.
Prince Kratos could not understand why he was feeling upset upon hearing that his savior do not like werewolves.
"My savior doesn't like werewolves…" he disclosed to his executive officers.
Instead of just saying what he felt, Prince Kratos further elaborated because he doesn't want his executive officers to be curious at something he had no answers as well.
"I do not like humans criticizing about us werewolves when we are the ones sacrificing ourselves for their protection and helping them make their lives easier through our initiatives and leadership," Prince Kratos further elaborated.
Both, Lady Cynthia and Gavin looked at each other because this was the first time they saw their Alpha Prince get affected this much about someone else's opinion.
Compared before, their Alpha Prince faced many criticisms and bullying from the family members of the current wife of his father.
The Alpha Prince did not show any expression or let anyone upset him.
Only this time, he let someone live.
Usually, Prince Kratos do not show mercy to those who upset him.
"So, what did you do when your savior criticized about us werewolves?" Lady Cynthia speculated further.
…
Prince Kratos contemplated on his answer.
"N-Nothing… I just kept my cool and pretended I was okay… I could not even tell her that I am a werewolf myself!" Prince Kratos stated to his executive officers.
Astonishing as it was.
This was something unprecedented for the executive officers of the Alpha Prince.
Making them more curious.
"Y-You mean… you just listened to her rants and criticisms about werewolves?" Lady Cynthia tried clarify with Prince Kratos.
"Yes! And surprisingly I could not even tell her that I am a werewolf myself. As if I was afraid to scare her off…" The Alpha Prince admitted to his executive officers.
"WOW!" his Beta, Gavin, was amused at the things mentioned by their Alpha Prince.
He added, "I think I need to meet this savior of yours."
Instantly, Prince Kratos threw a deathly glare towards him.
"What are you planning? And suddenly you earned some interest on my savior?" the Alpha Prince asked his beta.
Gavin chuckled at the thought of meeting the savior of Prince Kratos.
"You do not need to worry! I am not planning to bite her or hurt her… it just made me curious. To how she is in person…"
He furthered, "Have you asked her name though?"
…
"I did…" Prince Kratos answered.
"And…" Gavin waited for the continuation of the reply.
"Her name is Scarlett Lively."
Before they could utter anything else, Prince Kratos warned them.
"Don't you dare try to visit her or talk to her without my notice or permission! Because I won't be lenient in punishing those who defy my orders."
…
Suddenly, their conversation was interrupted by the arrival of the half-brother of Prince Kratos.
One of the warriors of Prince Kratos entered the main office of their Alpha Prince, informing him about the sudden visit of his brother.
…
"Why didn't Prince Owen inform us earlier for his visit? He did not give any prior notice for his intention to visit," Gavin remarked.
"Let it be… What else could we expect from them? My father's wife and some of her children never considered me as part of their family. I do not expect them to show any respect towards me or to my subordinates…" A disappointed and sad realization of Prince Kratos regarding the treatment of his father's new family.
He might be the first child of the Alpha King but the new wife of his father always treated him as a threat to the succession of the throne.
Being the first child of the Alpha King warrants him the right to be an heir to the throne if he wishes to be one.
Tension and conflict amongst the royal family members became worse when his influence and faction grew further.
Due to the fact that he was the strongest and youngest werewolf general of the Central Region.
While his other siblings could not attain such accomplishment on their own.
…
Lady Cynthia worried for the Alpha Prince because she witnessed countless times how the half-siblings of Prince Kratos mistreated him.
Despite being the eldest child of their Alpha King.
This is why at such a young age, their Alpha King granted Prince Kratos the control over his own mother's wolf pack.
Gaining unanimous vote from the elders of the Crescent Moon Pack, Prince Kratos became their Alpha in his first wolf shifting.
While Gavin clenched his fist in agitation.
Just like Lady Cynthia, he was also aware of the ill-treatment of the half-siblings of their Alpha Prince.
"Why would he visit our Alpha? What does he want now?" Gavin uttered in irritation.
Prince Kratos heaved a sigh.
"Let's just greet him and get this over with."
Immediately, Prince Kratos stood from his seat and went his way to see his younger half-brother.
…
As soon as he entered the mansion of the Alpha of the Crescent Moon Pack, Prince Owen looked around and checked the huge paintings displayed in the lobby of the mansion.
The receiving area for all the guests of the Alpha Prince.
…
When he caught a whiff of the scent of his eldest brother, Prince Owen greeted him without necessarily facing him.
Showing much disrespect to him.
The other warriors and staff members of the mansion were trying their best to keep their cool.
Not to embarrass their Alpha.
…
Prince Owen went straight
"I won't take too long… I was sent here by our dear father."
"This a surprise! Taking orders from our father obediently," Prince Kratos responded to his brother's rude behavior with sarcasm.
"We heard you got ambushed by rogue werewolves. And you almost died. If it weren't for the anonymous savior of yours…" Prince Owen pointed out.
He continued, "Father wanted to invite you for the upcoming banquet of my sister's birthday and first shifting."
"And how about your mother…" Prince Kratos knew there was more to it.
Prince Owen smirked at Prince Kratos because his eldest brother was aware of the other message.
Coming from the queen of werewolves.
"My QUEEN MOTHER does not want your face around the banquet. In other words, we do not want you or any of your members around the banquet. Don't ruin my sister's day! That would be a great gift you can give to her."
"A PEACE AND HARMONIOUS BIRTHDAY!"
"WITHOUT YOUR PRESENCE AROUND!"
…
Prince Kratos kept a straight face without showing any hints of expression that he was affected by the rudeness and ill-intent of his younger brother.
Even the unkind treatment of his stepmother.
"Sure! You can expect my cooperation. And tell the queen mother… I will comply to her wishes!"
"That's great then!"
His younger brother did not waste time and left without any exchange of pleasantries.
…
'Once I find my mate! I won't need my father and his evil family!' he thought to himself as he watched his younger brother leave.
Standing by the golden stairway of his mansion…
