After their steamy session in the morning and took their breakfast, Alpha Marcus went directly to the royal court.

He was not planning to meet with his father due to the pressure he has been receiving lately to leave and break it up with his mate.

​​

The members of the Sunstar Wolf Pack could not accept the fact that their strongest warrior and Alpha has a man for a mate.

It was unheard of in their own wolf pack history. Sunstar Pack never had a same-sex mates.

Regarding the fact, Alpha Marcus declared Prince Ranku as his mate was frowned up by all members of his wolf pack.

Especially, his own father. They had no choice but to discreetly criticize it because the royal prince is the youngest brother of the current Alpha King and their Alpha is the son of their former Alpha.

Both individuals were influential and well-connected. Thus, each member had to be careful with their words around them.

So, Alpha Marcus was not in the mood to deal with his father and his narrow-minded members.

No one would dare challenge him because of their fear to be killed. Alpha Marcus is undefeated in their wolf pack and he was known for his infamous ruthless combat skills.

His strength was usually compared close to the Alcyd.

Thus, the father of Alpha Marcus had high hopes for him.

Hoping that Alpha Marcus would be politically wed with Princess Shiveena or become someone influential in the royal court.

Never in their wildest dream expected for Alpha Marcus to be mated with a fellow male werewolf.

…

…

On his way to the royal court, some of the members of his special ops unit appeared out of nowhere.

Kneeling in front of him.

Reporting to their Alpha regarding the mission given to them.

Finding out about what happened to the former prime minister and digging up some information about Laura.

Alpha Marcus never felt at ease with Laura because he could sense that Laura is not an ordinary she-wolf.

Something must be done to make sure the safety of his wolf pack. If his father is having backdoor deals with the Jade Pack, he had suspicion that it's mostly Laura's doing. Rather than her father.

Making it appear as if it's former Prime Minister Morris sending messages to his father.

A possibility that his father may get framed for this alone. Which will put the entire wolf pack in a corner where they will be forced to go along with whatever plans of Jade Pack.

Knowing the current Alpha of the Jade Pack, Marcus was aware of the closeness of Laura and the current Alpha.

"You were right, Alpha! Laura had something to do with the disappearance of his father and his sudden resignation. We couldn't get close enough though or go further because she was able to notice our presence and chased us personally. She is no ordinary she-wolf!" the captain of the special ops unit reported while the others remained kneeling and kept their gaze lowered.

It made Alpha Marcus contemplate for his next plans.

Then they shared to him their further assessment about Laura.

Giving more insights about how Jade Pack operates behind the scenes and some of the activities of Laura.

"Good job guys! Just return to the territory and lay low. She might send her assassins and try to catch one of you. So hide in our safe house in Sunstar. That's an order! No one will be on a mission for a while to keep yourselves from the public." Alpha Marcus instructed his special ops unit before separating their ways.

…

…

Along hallway to the royal court, there was no one spotted around. Because almost everyone was in the royal court waiting for the officiating of the new appointed generals of the royal army.

And the first official day of the new prime minister.

Just before he could make another step, the scent of his mate invaded his senses.

From a distance, Prince Ranku was leaning against the wall waiting for someone.

"I hope, you are not waiting for other man out here but only me. Why are you here? I thought you will be busy in the royal hospital." Alpha Marcus wondered.

Prince Ranku hurriedly went to the royal court by transforming into an eagle to quickly meet his mate.

Intending to confront him for the things he just discovered.

"Is this true?" Prince Ranku throwing the secret letters to the chest of Alpha Marcus.

Secret letters which Alpha Marcus had with his father.

Taken off guard and by surprise, Alpha Marcus was loss for words and panicked in his mind.

To find the right words …

Clear things out …

Stammering at his reply, Alpha Marcus started to fear for the worst.

"Oh my God! You are not denying it. So, it is true … You just used me!" Prince Ranku started tearing up.

"No! That's not true! Let me explain myself, Ranku!" Alpha Marcus begged for Prince Ranku to listen.

But emotions were too high.

Upon confirming everything and for his mate not to deny things he wrote in the letter.

Prince Ranku started to experience a sudden sharp pangs of betrayal from his mate.

Immediately, Alpha Marcus tried to grab Prince Ranku.

Unfortunately, the prince kept resisting and pushing him away.

"Stay away from me! WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?"

"If you will just let me explain. It's not what you think, RANKU!" Alpha Marcus desperately plead to his mate.

"What's to explain there? It's clear, you only want to get close to me for your own interest and gain closer access to my brother. You said it there in the letter. That … I AM JUST A TIGHT HOLE TO SCREW WITH AND YOUR TICKET TO POWER." Tears started falling from Ranku's eyes.

When some of the royal guards started to check what was the noise about in the hallway to the royal court.

Both Prince Ranku and Alpha Marcus recomposed themselves.

Moments after the royal guard left, Prince Ranku transformed to an eagle once more leaving Alpha Marcus on his own.

"RANKU!!! COME BACK!!!" Alpha Marcus screamed to his mate.

Flying away from his mate, Alpha Marcus.
