The Alpha Prince And His Silver Lone Wolf

Day after the victory party in the royal palace …

No one expected for the party to end in the way it ended.

[1] Captives of King Viktor escaped from the royal dungeon.

[2] A deadly encounter between the Alpha King and the brave souls who tried to defeat the Alpha King despite their lack of full knowledge regarding the capabilities of King Viktor.

[3] The unexpected infiltration of dark creatures that took advantage of the chaos within the royal palace.

[4] Lastly, the abduction of the mate of Prince Alcyd.

Beta Garrett issued a report that Selene was abducted by those who escaped from the dungeon. He swiftly made a quick decision to cover up the mess which Lucas made.

They had to hide the fact about the older brother of Selene.

Or else, there will be no place for Selene to return. She will be treated as an accomplice and criminal if she becomes associated with Lucas. And revealed to the public that her older brother is a criminal. The cause of many attacks.

Fortunately, everyone bought his alibi. Due to everyone's distracted attention.

Everyone was more concerned in coping from the previous night's unexpected infiltration.

One of them was Prince Alarick.

[-In the private chamber of Prince Alarick-]

Persephone asked the other staff members to let her and Prince Alarick to be alone.

She brought a tray of food for her son.

Ever since Prince Alarick found out about Persephone's shocking involvement, he could not find himself to look at his mother.

"Why are you sulking in your room? The people need you! You must show them how reliable you can be. This is the best chance to prove everyone that you are way better than your father's favorite." Persephone acted like as if nothing happened.

Prince Alarick finally faced his mother with glaring look on his eyes.

"Enough mother! You are the one who caused the chaos inside the royal palace. Letting dark creatures enter the royal palace is the most despicable and desperate act I have witnessed. How could you implore such tactics? Conniving with the same creatures that our kingdom swore to destroy! I thought I know you the most. But now I am starting to doubt my own judgment over you!" Prince Alarick contained his voice without making his words obvious. To avoid outsiders to hear what was going on inside his private chamber.

"There are things better untold. Keeping you in the shadows about it will keep you safe from its treachery. Just remember that I do it for you …" Persephone explained herself.

Prince Alarick may have been a staunch rival of Prince Alcyd for the attention of their father and for the legitimacy of being the rightful heir to the throne. But never in his mind nor intention to be allies with the dark creatures.

He believed that he deserved to be the heir to the throne and intended to continue the fight against the dark creatures.

"The only treacherous being that I know of at moment is the one in front of me. I do not even know if I can trust you even with my life …" a stinging disappointment and a hint of affront towards his mother.

For the first time, Prince Alarick caused a direct pain to Persephone's heart.

A loud slap was received and a stinging feeling stayed on Prince Alarick's face.

"How dare you talk to your mother like that? I did everything I could … just for you! You will not understand today but someday … someday! These things I do is not for myself, but for your sake! I do not expect you to understand my actions or forgive me for breaking my promise of not keeping anything from you. Though, I only ask from you is respect. A RESPECT that I highly deserve. Giving literally EVERYTHING I HAVE just for your sake … deserves your respect!" Persephone emotionally stated to her only son.

Her son held his own face.

Then Persephone took the tray and placed it in front of Prince Alarick.

King Viktor's eldest son was still confused with the reason of the involvement and affiliation of his mother towards the dark creatures.

But his mother was right, he had no right to disrespect her whatever reason it was. 

Due to his anger, he stepped beyond his boundaries and did something he should not have done.

Persephone prepared all the food and went to fetch a bowl for Prince Alarick to wash his face with.

Ashamed for the way he acted, Prince Alarick pulled the tray closer to him.

"I still do not understand the extent of your objectives but why are you putting yourself in a precarious situation. What will you do if father finds out about your schemes and secrets?" Prince Alarick pointed out something valid for Persephone to consider.

"He will have no choice but to work with me because we have the same objectives but he cannot be seen collaborating with my own allies or else his own reputation will be impossible to recover. It is unforgivable for any werewolf to work with dark creatures." Persephone carefully elaborated to her son.

"Then WHY THE HELL YOU CHOSE … to affiliate yourself with them? Even if I become the future Alpha King, I cannot grant you pardon!" Lucas true concern was revealed. Because he knew if Persephone gets caught, no one can save her from the law of their kingdom.

Persephone wanted to tell Prince Alarick badly about the truth of her contract with the dark lord she serves but it would be better for him not to know anything about it.

Tears fell from Persephone's eyes.

"I am far from saving, darling … I am far gone already but at least I can still make both of our dreams come true. For you to have the best life … you deserve! Even if I have to bring hell on earth!" Persephone declared to her son.

A realization came to Prince Alarick's mind, his mother has bargained something in exchange for her life.

From this realization, he embraced his mother tightly.

"I never asked you to do such a thing, mother! How can I live the best life if I will be the cause of your demise?" Prince Alarick was greatly worried for his mother.

A gentle caress and a motherly pat on the back of Prince Alarick were made by Persephone.

"Do not worry for me, my son! I am a force to reckon with … I can manage …" Persephone tried to find comfort from her son's embrace.
