Cold Hearted Mate
Chapter 23

Alpha King Remus assigned the eldest son to make arrangements for the welcoming of Alpha Connor and escort him.

Alpha Connor could see, from the distance, the huge Palace with an extensive landscape surrounding it. Therein, the Alpha Connor has finally realized he has arrived in the palace where he never considered as home. It only reminded him of a childhood filled with memories of motherlessness. Finally, the Alpha Connor has arrived with his own entourage from the warriors of his pack including Andrew, Channon, and his Beta Dolf. Alpha Connor walks with arrogance and full of intimidation. Side by side, Dolf and Channon are both walking to his left and right flank respectively.

"Welcome, Alpha Connor! Finally, you graced us with your presence!" Alpha Connor's eldest brother greets him by the entrance with full of Palace staff members and his own entourage from his own pack.

Alpha Connor remained silent from the greeting of his own older brother and a moment of silence befell between two sides. Battle of stares began between the two brothers. Anyone could sense the tension and it's as if there is a laser emitted just by the stares between the two alone.

"We are honored Prince Jasper! It's been quite a while since we last saw you. It is quite overwhelming to see your preparation, just to welcome Alpha Connor's arrival." Dolf tries to lighten up the mood.

The Alpha Connor never liked his older brother since they were little. They usually get to fights due to arguments and Prince Jasper's treatment of Alpha Connor. Over time, Alpha Connor became cold and distant towards his older brother.

Clell never liked the presence of Prince Jasper either. That is why every time they meet, Clell helps Alpha Connor activate Alpha's Aura to intimidate lower forms of werewolf.

"This scum deserves to be beaten up, don't you think? He will be a good practice and we are also in need of good release to vent our frustrations at the moment." Clell informs Alpha Connor.

"I do agree with your suggestion but I do not want to anger my father. He does not approve of us fighting at all. So better control yourself Clell!" Alpha Connor warns his own spirit wolf.

"Oh, so it is me who should control myself? Well, who is currently using Alpha's Aura at this moment with more than 50%, hmm?" Clell said to his mind.

"A little scaring tactics would not hurt. At least I am not planning to beat up someone and get others hurt." Alpha Connor answered.

Clell got pushed down deep in Alpha Connor's mind.

"It has always been a pleasure to have Alpha Connor around the Palace. His presence is significant for tomorrow's discussion. Especially his innovative ways of dealing with things." Prince Jasper's tone was full of sarcasm.

"I do not think I could say the same with you. I replace your presence exasperating and annoying. Lastly, I wonder why your presence is even needed at the Parliament and meeting discussions at all. Only failing at things that you are good at." Retorted back by Alpha Connor to his older brother. "What did you say?" Prince Jasper was clearly infuriated by his younger brother's retort.

By this time, everyone is already at edge and wary of the growing tension between the two Royal brothers. Both sides trying to appease their own Alpha while the two Alpha Princess are clearly up for more banters. "Enough! I was totally right that you two will get into it, as usual. I wonder why father gave this task to you, older brother?" Said by their younger sister who is referring her last statement towards Prince Jasper. "Princess Carmina! You are looking more beautiful." Marissa tries to announce the presence of the younger sister of Alpha Connor to defuse the growing tension between the two brothers.

"Oh, thank you Marissa! You are too generous with your words." Princess Carmina replied.

Princess Carmina is the fourth child of Alpha King Remus. Unlike Alpha Connor and Prince Jasper, she has no Wolf Pack of her own. Only Alpha Connor and Prince Jasper have their own Wolf Pack since they were the only ones who are in the right age to lead a pack. The Princess Carmina is the current Captain of the Royal Guards and has exceptional fighting skills compared to other warriors in the Royal Guards. She is considered to be the youngest and the only female who became a Captain of the Royal Guards.

Everyone was thankful for the intervention of Princess Carmina. They could not imagine what would have happened if Princess Carmina did not appear sooner.

Like Alpha Connor, she also has tanned complexion but Prince Jasper has lighter complexion compared to the two.

Unlike Prince Jasper, Princess Carmina is fond of Alpha Connor. Alpha Connor was genuinely good to her since they were young. Even though they are 2 years apart, Alpha Connor and Princess Carmina get along well. They used to train and spar most of the time. With their constant sparring and practice together, Princess Carmina became daunting and fierce in combat. Princess Carmina garnered such a reputation to be fierce and an expert. "Why did you not visit us soon?" Princess Carmina hugged her older brother.

Everyone lightened up seeing the two Royal siblings express endearment for each other. Except for one individual who is internally loathing the presence of Alpha Connor.

"Big Brother!" A voice full of excitement came rushing for an embrace towards Alpha Connor.

"Shiro!" Hugging his younger brother.

Shiro is the youngest among the Royal Siblings, and aside from Louve, he is someone among the very few that the Executive Officers of Alpha Connor consider that soften their ruthless Alpha Connor.

The youngest Royal sibling, Prince Shiro, is 15 years old of age. He may act childish at times but he tries his best to emulate the sense of responsibility and image that Alpha Connor portrays. He may not be as strong as his other siblings, but he does his best to train and improve his own skill sets.

When everyone thought it was all calm and joyous already, Prince Jasper interrupted the brief warm greetings of his younger siblings. One of the many things he could not stand is the reunion of the three particular siblings and for Alpha Connor to even have the time to enjoy.

"If all of you are done with your pleasantries, we better proceed to our father." Princess Carmina remembered they had to immediately proceed to their father. "Oh, right! Father instructed us to escort you immediately to him once you arrived." Everyone went straight ahead, escorting Alpha Connor to the Alpha King.
