Cold Hearted Mate
Chapter 49

As soon as Alpha Connor and the others entered, Prince Shiro is sitting by the chair while Andrew is sitting in front of him and at the same time Marissa and Dolf are standing behind Prince Shiro in making sure that the young Prince will not try to escape.

It seems like Prince Shiro is held up for the interrogation of Alpha Connor.

"Shiro! What the hell were you thinking? Why would you do such a thing? You used your unique abilities on rogue werewolves. Don't you know how important it is to keep the details about your unique abilities contained?" Alpha Connor scolding his young brother. "You lied straight to my face! I thought I am important to you. Why would you keep such important matters from me? Unless, you had to... which means your mate is not yet ready to accept her role as the future Luna of the Dark Moon Pack?" Prince Shiro expressed his frustration towards his older brother for keeping the truth about finally replaceing a mate.

Only a loud and deep sigh could be heard from Alpha Connor realizing how spoiled and self-centered his younger brother is. He forgot that the curiosity of Prince Shiro can be lethal even for him.

"I am sorry if I had to keep it even from you but since you stay in the royal palace, I cannot risk it for anyone else to know aside for my trusted circle." Explained by Alpha Connor to his younger brother.

"So I was right! Tell me big bro, is she your mate? That platinum-haired girl?" Prince Shiro pointed towards the direction of Louve..

"Shiro! Do not be rude! Do not forget that she is my mate. Even if you are my favorite brother, you can outweigh the value of my mate." Alpha Connor warns his younger brother.

Everyone in the room becomes nervous from the argument of the two royal brothers. They could not even interrupt the heated discussion between the two.

Then it got even worse as Prince Shiro stood up from his seat. And it doesn't get better when the young Prince decides to confront Louve.

"Now you tell me, Louve, why would you not accept my big brother completely? The way I see it, you are fortunate to be fated as the mate of my big brother. Don't you know how many she-wolf out there wish to be in your place right now? I do not know what is so special about you that you have to play coy with my big brother."

"If this is your way in trying to seduce him and wrap him around your palm because it is a disgusting attempt, so please do us a favor and stop with the hard-to-get attitude." Arrogantly and coldly said by Prince Shiro facing Louve who is facing down the floor and doing her best not to lose her temper.

"Shiro, enough!" Alpha Connor has become agitated from Prince Shiro's rudeness towards his mate.

Prince Shiro had always thought that his older brother deserved all the happiness and the best things in the world.

"What? I am just telling the truth. This is all her fault. If it wasn't for her stubbornness and coy attempt in trying to charm big brother Connor is such lame way, then I would not have resorted such scheme to control those rogue werewolves just to confirm my curiosity -"

Before Prince Shiro could finish his statement, a loud and stinging slap was released by Louve towards Prince Shiro's cheek.

Silence was deafening from what just happened. No one could say anything or do anything since it is Louve who slapped Prince Shiro with such might and emotion.

Even the young Prince is shocked from what happened and he could only hold his left cheek which received the stinging slap from Louve.

"How dare you! How could you use my friends for your curiosity? How could you even treat such a life of others as if it's nothing? How could you act so carelessly and treat others like just a mere pawn of your schemes? There could have been another way to know things and not through risking the life of others!" Louve vents out her anger and lecturing Prince Shiro while he keeps holding his left cheek.

This was the first time they saw someone lecture a royalty and do such a thing like hitting a young Prince. They did not expect Louve to do so.

"You think I am acting coy and seducing your brother? Too bad, you are not informed that I am held captive by your brother in the first place. I lived for a long time on my own and trust does not go by easily so it must be earned before I grant it to your big brother. He is lucky I'm still here, I have thought over and over again, why not just reject him and move on with my life in solitude just the way I have been living my life!"

The last statement got everyone nervous and looked at each other.

Alpha Connor clenched his fist in anger that Louve thought of rejecting him again.

Regret on Prince Shiro's face was starting to form after realizing his foolishness. Before Alpha Connor could even vent his anger out, Louve further explained.

"But I chose to stay here. I chose to give him another chance. Despite the pain and experience that I went through before, I was willing to gamble my fate with him. Even though I have more important priorities to accomplish, I stayed by your brother's side." Louve turned her back before anyone could even talk or comfort her. Before she discloses any details further from her past, she decided to walk away.

Louve said her last words before leaving the room. "I am sorry if I had to slap you. It was the only way I could think of in order to stop your foolishness. Caring for your brother is not an excuse to hurt someone else. I hope you learn your lesson!"

The main office was completely silent and everyone was stiff in their places even after Louve left the room.

Guilt and shame were painted all over Prince Shiro's face.

But there was something that everyone had to worry about.
