[-In the private chamber of Prince Alcyd-]

"Father?" a confused tone on Prince Alcyd's voice at the sight of his father entering his private chamber unannounced.

​​

King Viktor looked at Selene in a different light.

"Is it wrong to visit my own children?" King Viktor replied his favorite son.

This made Prince Alcyd a bit annoyed.

"Oh, your children? Look at them, father! How could you dare hurt your own children like that?" Prince Alcyd expressed his pain to King Viktor.

"They needed to be disciplined … If only they …" The Alpha King of all Alpha Werewolves was not able to finish his explanation because Prince Alcyd interrupted his moment to explain.

"You call this disciplining? I thought your strictness were just mere toughening us up. To shape us into stronger individuals but I am appalled that you could dare hurt any of us … DELIBERATELY!" A wave emotions flowing out from the chest of Prince Alcyd.

The Alpha King of all Alpha Werewolves looked apologetic after hearing all his explanation.

"Now tell me … How about hurting my own mate? Is that disciplining too? Tell me, father! How could you dare hurt someone special to me? In front of me!" for the first time Prince Alcyd raised his voice towards his father.

Selene immediately held Prince Alcyd's arm to calm him down.

Only Silence from King Viktor because he could not explain well to Prince Alcyd his actions without looking cruel in his eyes.

"Just tell me why you are really here? Cut the bull crap about visiting and seeing your children because I do not buy it at all!" Prince Alcyd continuously spat stinging words to his own father.

King Viktor restrained his own anger from the treatment he has been receiving from Prince Alcyd.

Beta Nolan was just behind King Viktor and knew exactly the true purpose of King Viktor's sudden appearance in front of Prince Alcyd.

*** Flashback ***

[-In the main office of King Viktor-]

When the staff member reported back to King Viktor regarding the disinterest of Prince Alcyd to answer the summons of his own father infuriated him.

"Alcyd has finally grew a pair of horns! And he is using it on me now! How could he dare disrespect me in front of others?" there was a growing stress and intensity on King Viktor's voice.

His Beta became worried at the agitation of their Alpha King.

"Though it is important for the two of you to reconcile rather than be at each other's throats. His mate pointed out something noteworthy. Her abilities will a tremendous help in our battle against the king of rogue werewolves. She will be a great addition to your forces, King Viktor!" Beta Nolan shared his point of view regarding to the matter.

Immediately this made King Viktor ponder on the possible scenarios in their war against rogue werewolves.

Especially with Selene added on his forces compared of not having her.

"You have a point there, Nolan! Who would have thought, my son to be mated with a powerful hybrid! No wonder he was destined to have a mate … not only beautiful but a powerful and a strong one. Because my son has my blood thriving in his veins." There were full of pride in King Viktor's voice.

From his foul and agitated mood … Into a confident and ecstatic vibe.

"Imagine our forces more powerful than ever with Prince Alcyd's strength amplified due to his mate's presence and power. This will be a reassuring force if we have Prince Alcyd and his mate on our side. Whether we admit it or not, Prince Alcyd has a key role and part in your whole force in totality. If we lose him, more than half of our forces will deteriorate and may lead to our possible losses in the battle against the rogue werewolves." Wise words from Beta Nolan.

"So you recommend me to reconcile with my son."

"Yes, your highness! With utmost urgency." Beta Nolan showed his respect to King Viktor even after giving his recommendation.

His Alpha King nodded along upon hearing Beta Nolan's recommendation.

*** End of Flashback ***

"I came here to patch things up not only with your siblings but with you and your … mate!" King Viktor swallowed his pride for his bigger vision.

Having his forces intact and stronger … in the addition of Selene.

"Oh, you think everything will be forgiven and forgotten just because you asked for it. It takes sincerity and efforts which you lack of …" Prince Alcyd's words were filled with stinging exasperation.

Selene nudged Prince Alcyd discreetly for him to soften his words.

"I am not perfect, I know! But I do not want to lose my own children … You and your siblings are the only treasure I have left in this world." A great pretense from King Viktor.

Everyone seemed to be convinced in his words except Beta Nolan.

He knew the truth and face beneath all the pretense.

For the sake of winning the war, a pretense of a reflecting father is an easy task for King Viktor to play.
