The Alpha Prince And His Silver Lone Wolf

[-In Rogers Family Mansion-]

A day after the meeting of the hunters with Selene.

Booth and the members of his clan led by his grandfather returned to the Rogers Family mansion.

Wide occupied territory under the name of the Rogers Family.

Unlike the other families of hunters, the territory and compound surrounding the mansion of the Rogers Family have more secured defense system.

Being blessed with anti-magic weapons, enabled them to have defenses like no other families of hunters.

They were considered to be the most-defended and feared family amongst the community of the supernatural beings.

No supernatural creature would dare trespass the territory of the Rogers Family.

Only members of the Rogers Family could wield such ancient items, the anti-magic weapons.

Created to protect the humans from the supernatural beings.

Their ancestors were amongst the first generation of hunters that protected humans from the Dark Lord and other dark creatures.

At the return of Booth to their family's mansion, his grandfather gave strict orders to keep their future boss inside.

He will only be allowed to leave the mansion with the permission of Boss Emil, the current boss and head of the Rogers Family.

Tess was assigned to look after Booth and make sure that he doesn't leave the mansion.

"What if your grandson resist and insist on leaving? Knowing him … your grandson is one hell of a stubborn guy. He does what he wants." Tess told Boss Emil.

"Then do what you must to keep him. As long as you do not kill him. None of you can beat him in combat. And he is still the future boss of this family. Understood?" Boss Emil asked Tess.

One of the commanders of Boss Emil.

She was given the full authority within the mansion while Boss Emil will be busy in the main headquarters of the Hunters Association.

Due to the debate regarding the allegiance of hunters to Selene and their involvement in the war between the vampire king and the former foster daughter of President Tony.

Boss Emil had to be present in the deliberation of the decision of President Tony as the representative of the Rogers Family.

…

Right after their boss left for the meeting in the headquarters, Booth woke up and demanded to be released.

Seeing himself being chained to the bed.

"What the F**k?!?!" Booth couldn't move properly due to the chains.

He saw Tess sitting near him.

"Well … I already expect you to be … unwilling to cooperate. Knowing you!" Tess approached Booth and caressed his hair while looking down on him.

She continued, "So … will you behave and be a good boy? Just stay still and wait for your grandfather's return."

"How dare you chain me in this bed? If my grandfather is not here … hurry and release me now! While we still have time!" Booth assumed that Tess would help him get out.

…

Unfortunately for him, Tess refused his request.

"Forgive me! But my loyalty lies with your grandfather." 

Tess continued to explain herself.

"Right now … I realized that you do not have the best interest for the Rogers Family. You would let the entire members of the Rogers Family suffer and allow humans to be at risk. Just for the sake of your foolish love for her … that Malia or should I say … Selene!"

"Let me go! We need to protect her … more than ever! If she dies, the entire humanity will be more at risk. Her enemy is our enemy!" Booth tried to convince his fellow hunter.

"No! Her enemies are not our problem. Remember where your loyalty should be! As a hunter, it should be with the humans, not with them! Those freaks!" Tess reminded Booth about his responsibilities as a hunter.

His sworn oath to serve and protect those humans in need.

"Your parents expected a lot from you! You have sworn to protect and save our own kind from the creatures that threatens their lives and safety. But here you are acting so blinded in love with someone who you shouldn't be." Tess directly said to Booth, the future boss of the Rogers Family.

There was only silence from Booth because all the things that Tess mentioned to him made sense.

Reminding him of his sworn oath to his parents.

And his one-sided love to Selene.

Forgetting his own duties as a hunter and to his own people.

"Just accept it, this is your new normal! Start acting like a true hunter rather than a foolish lover boy." Tess uttered before leaving Booth on his own.

Leaving Booth to contemplate on his decisions.

[-In the Crimson Pack-]

Selene pondered on her new normal of being away from the usual people she was surrounded with.

Unexpectedly … Selene began to miss the company of someone she never thought of loving that much.

Staring from a far, Selene was clearly distracted.

Luna Zavy noticed that Selene has become more distracted as time passed by.

While her father and brother became more occupied in the preparations for the mining of the resources in the Crimson Pack, Selene remained in the pack house of the Crimson Pack.

Their pack house was a simple two-stories house and not as huge like the mansion of the Golden Moon Pack.

"My citron tea can help you relax dear. But if it's a problem of the heart, no hot tea can ease the pain and longing for someone you love." Luna Zavy stood close to Selene while taking a sip of her hot citron tea.

"Oh, I am not thinking about a guy." Selene denied the words of concern from Luna Zavy.

"I know that look, my dear!" Luna Zavy insisted on her assessment.

Selene's silence signified the truth on the words of Luna Zavy.

"Does your father know about him? Because even I would like to know … who is this lucky guy?" 

A worried sigh was released by Selene.

"Oh, I know that look and sound. That's not good!"  Luna Zavy gave her own opinion.

"What should I do if … it will only worsen things and cause more problems?"

"Well … truth is always the best, my dear! Family will eventually understand you even if they may not like it at first."

…

She continued, "And I think you miss this person … no matter what you say. This man still occupies your heart."

…

Selene looked at the sky before she responded.

"I think so too … But this is my new normal … Being away from him!"
