Prince Ranku finally left for his first mission from the Golden Moon Pack.

Garrett, Caleb, and Jackson were tasked to accompany Prince Ranku on such a dangerous mission to intervene Prince Alarick's plans against Prince Alcyd's allies.

​​

Jackson had a difficult time going because Jane is being difficult to handle lately. With her bitterness and disapproval of the presence of the rogue werewolves, it caused so much stress for Jackson to control his mate.

Though, Prince Ranku also hesitated to leave due to the approaching twentieth birthday of his older brother. He was planning to make a surprise for his older brother but an important mission was tasked for him to accomplish along with the other Executive Officers to accompany him.

It was a countermeasure that reassures Prince Ranku's safety. Prince Alcyd could not risk the possibility of his younger brother getting harmed so he had to assign the best of his Executive Officers to ensure the protection and safety of his younger brother.

Garrett had an intimate moment with his mate, Athena. They both kissed and held each other closely feeling each other's touch and warmth.

Even Caleb wanted to talk with his younger brother but since the Rank Event when his younger brother lost to him, Lance was always training to get stronger and improve his physical strength.

In the kitchen of the mansion, Athena went to Lady Sonja reminding her about the departure of Prince Ranku and the meal plan for the twentieth birthday of Prince Alcyd.

Selene heard about the Prince Alcyd's birthday.

"Lady Sonja, tomorrow is the twentieth birthday of Alcyd? I mean Prince Alcyd." Clarified by Selene to Lady Sonja.

Athena and Lady Sonja looked at each other. Both shared a curious look due to Selene's query. They have noticed that ever since Prince Alcyd exhibited such concern and efforts to comfort Selene during her first heat cycle and first shifting, Selene started to become interested in matters regarding their Alpha Prince.

"Yes, darling. Tomorrow is his twentieth birthday. Is there anything you have in mind that you want to suggest?" Lady Sonja reply to Selene.

Both Athena and Lady Sonja became more curious on what Selene is thinking at the moment after knowing her mate's birthday.

While Athena and Lady Sonja waits for Selene's suggestion, the spirit wolf of Selene suddenly appeared after knowing that the twentieth birthday of Prince Alcyd is fast approaching.

'Oh my! It is our mate's twentieth birthday. We need to prepare a gift and something special for him! I cannot allow you not prepare something special for him.' Expressed with so much excitement by the spirit wolf of Selene, Sylvia.

'I do not even celebrate my own birthday! So why will I celebrate his.' Selene's reply to her own spirit wolf.

'When Laquisha was still alive, she used to bake something for you and you both watch fireworks together with your older brother Lucas during those times he was still in the Midnight Pack before he decided to leave you on your own.' Sylvia reminded Selene about those memorable days that Selene has already buried and forgotten.

A spirit wolf of a werewolf has the access to all of the memories. Thus, Sylvia knows everything about Selene and her memories despite appearing only after the death of her foster mother, Laquisha.

This made Selene think if her mate has this kind of celebration during his birthday. So it made her curious as well.

'Fine, I will make something special for him but should we ask what they do for his birthday?' We cannot just barge in with their usual ways here. I have caused so much changes already around here.' Selene pointed out to her spirit wolf.

'Go ask then! Ask them regarding our mate's birthday and how they celebrate it.' Instructed immediately by Selene's spirit wolf.

Selene rolled her eyes from her spirit wolf's nagging.

"Lady Sonja, what do you usually do on Alcyd's birthday…" the other staff suddenly looked at Selene who sometimes informally mentions their Alpha Prince's name, but Selene corrects herself when she realizes the looks of the other staff members, "I mean Prince Alcyd's birthday. Are there any special preparations that you do here or present to him?"

The sudden query of Selene regarding their Alpha Prince made both Athen and Lady Sonja smile. They both looked at each other in a teasing way regarding the sudden curiosity of Selene.

"Well, we do not make any special preparation. Usually, he is in the royal palace because Prince Ranku prepares a special dinner for him and Prince Alcyd." Explained by Lady Sonja.

"The royal family does not celebrate birthdays. Only Prince Ranku and Prince Alcyd celebrate it because when Prince Ranku was little, Prince Alcyd used to cheer up the young prince during his birthday. So when Prince Alcyd is not in the royal palace with Prince Ranku, there are no special preparation or gifts given in his birthday. Prince Alcyd prefers to keep everyone do their task perfectly." Further explained by Athena.

"The only unusual that we do on his birthday is we prepare all his favorite so that he could eat more during his birthday. Why do you ask, do you have any plans?" Lady Sonja became curious at Selene's thoughts after replying to her query.

"Can we prepare the favorite food of Prince Alcyd's mother? I bet he is reminded about his mother during his birthdays. So why not, let us prepare the entire dinner filled with his mother's favorite dish. Then, I will personally make his favorite dessert. Lastly, everyone will sing a happy birthday song to him while we carry this large cake frosted with chocolate and strawberry with a huge greeting in the middle." Selene abrasively shared her suggestion regarding the preparation for Prince Alcyd's twentieth birthday.

The other staff members who heard this giggled in the excitement by the thought alone of Selene's suggestion.

But Lady Sonja and Athena were surprised that Selene is suggesting something totally unexpected for them to do.

"But the question is, do you know the favorite food of Prince Alcyd's mother?" asked by Selene.

Both Athena and Lady Sonja answered altogether, "Oh, yes! We know!"

"Great! So tomorrow then." Selene declared to everyone about their special preparation for Prince Alcyd's twentieth birthday.

Everyone became excited for the thought of preparing something special for Prince Alcyd while the Alpha Prince is busy doing paper works in his main office with Oliver and a royal adviser.

==================

Somewhere in the woods of the Golden Moon Pack,

Chloe was walking her way back to her house after finishing the special gift that she plans to give Prince Alcyd in his twentieth birthday through Selene since she lives within the mansion along with the other Executive Officers and Prince Alcyd himself.

Kassandra has no idea though that Chloe has her own ulterior motive and plans for the twentieth birthday of Prince Alcyd.

But there was one individual who was able to detect Chloe's devious plan.

Callisto, the disciple of the Great Oracle appeared right in front of Chloe after hiding from the shadows of the trees.

"Where do you think you are going? You thought no one will know about your special gift for the Alpha Prince." Uttered suddenly by the powerful warlock.

"Professor Cali?" Chloe expressed her surprise at the sudden appearance of their professor.

Unknown to her that Professor Cali is a powerful warlock who is currently disguised only as a professor in the Golden Moon Academy.

==================

As the twentieth birthday of the Alpha Prince has finally arrived…

At the dining table,

Prince Alcyd is surprised to see that the prepared meals are not the usual meals prepared in his birthday. He took his seat bewildered and curious with the sudden change of meal plan during the dinner of his birthday.

It is already accustomed to him and used to the thought that Lady Sonja always prepares his favorites during the dinner of his birthday.

Then a surprise that he never expected to experience in his life …

One by one, each staff member appeared to his side singing 'happy birthday song' while the other remaining Executive Officers and Lance sang along with the staff members.

But the appearance of Selene bringing the cake with her cooking attire still fresh from the kitchen which is clearly evident that she personally prepared the cake and his favorite dessert since her face has some traces of flour.

Her heavenly voice even made it more special for Prince Alcyd.

The sight of her bringing the cake became a slow-motion for Prince Alcyd.

Never in his life that Prince Alcyd expected something special to happen on his birthday.

Prince Alcyd's birthday always had been gloomy and depressing since it is a reminder for him that he lost his loving and caring mother from the rogue werewolves.

Selene's beautiful voice came ringing in Prince Alcyd's ears.

'Our mate knows our birthday! She even prepared something for us!' Kratos, the spirit wolf of Prince Alcyd gleefully informs him.

All Prince Alcyd could see and hear at the moment is his mate who has completely surprised him.

Prince Alcyd is totally captivated by the presence of Selene.

At this moment Prince Alcyd realized …

While looking at Selene approach him with the cake which is obviously made for him…

…

…

…

That there is no one that makes his world stop like the way Selene does!

Prince Alcyd has finally felt the spirit and warmth of what a birthday meant.

'So, this is how a birthday should feel like…'

'Utterly filled with happiness!'
