Cold Hearted Mate
Chapter 54

"What do you tell me that requires so much secrecy?" Asked by Alpha Connor.

"I want you to confirm something very important. Did you notice any sign of a crescent moon mark, at her body?" Directly asked by Athena.

Alpha Connor was perplexed and confused from Athena's query.

"What is the big deal about her crescent moon mark?"

"So there is a crescent moon mark, is it?" Athena asked again.

Alpha Connor nodded, "Yeah, in her left chest. It was actually shining brightly during her shifting. Did you not see it? I was planning to ask you about it too, what it meant." Alpha Connor told Athena.

The eyes of Athena widely opened in realization that her suspicion was right.

That the mate of Alpha Connor is no other than the prophesized next Chosen One.

"Who have told you about this?" Asked by Athena in a tensed manner.

"No one yet, why? What's wrong about it?" Alpha Connor started to feel worried from the reaction of Athena.

"Promise me, you will not tell a soul about it. You must keep what you have found out about Louve's crescent mark. Do not ever share that piece of information. I will give your mate an enchanted bracelet that will hide her silver fur towards other's eyes. It will serve like an illusion whenever she shifts into her wolf form. The bracelet will adjust and fit accordingly despite her shifting. You have to make sure you do this or else..." Explained by Athena to Alpha Connor.

Alpha Connor became even more confused.

"Or else what? Why do we have to hide another part of her identity? I am already keeping from others about her being my mate. And now this? Tell me!" Alpha Connor demanded from Athena.

"Based on what you have told me, your mate seems to be the long awaited prophesized next Chosen One that will rule over the entire supernatural world." Further explained by Athena. "Impossible!" Alpha Connor was surprised by what Athena had said.

"Yes, all the signs of the prophecy points at her. So now, will you still risk telling others about it at the expense of the safety of your own mate? Be warned that even your father must not know about this. Danger and death will follow through Louve once this is let loose!" Athena warns Alpha Connor regarding the threat on Louve's life.

"Why? Not even my father?" Alpha Connor frowned.

"Oh yes! Especially your father! If he replaces out, he will kill your mate in a heartbeat."

"No way!" Alpha Connor was shocked.

The beautiful day of Alpha Connor has just turned into an ominous dark cloud which indicates the forthcoming dark storm.

"King Remus is not a saint as you think, Alpha Connor!" Declared by Athena to Alpha Connor.

"He is not perfect but at least he is a great King to the Werewolf Kingdom." Alpha Connor tells Athena about his adoration to his father.

"Forgive me Alpha Connor, but your father is a murderer! He is evil! The moment he replaces out that your mate is no other than the Chosen One... He will not think twice to kill her with his own bare hands!" Athena reveals to Alpha Connor.

"Take it back! Take everything you said back!" Alpha Connor slams the desk with force showing his agitation and continues to explain. "My father is not a murderer. He is not evil. He only eliminates enemies who threaten the peace of the werewolf kingdom. Do not associate your skewed definition of being a murderer and being a responsible king. So do not slander my father in front of me because you have no idea of what and who my father is!"

Athena witnesses how Alpha Connor passionately defends his father with so much conviction.

"I am sorry but that is the hard truth about your father. He has instructed you with many of his dirty deeds in the deception of his real motive of murdering innocent lives of innocent. You can mask it with justice and order but we call it and see it as murder." "You do not know what you are saying Miss Athena! I have given you a roof to stay and protection under my pack due to your relation with my late Queen mother. But it does not mean you can insult and slander my father in front of me."

"On the contrary, I am just being truthful to what is and what is not. You are being blind to what your father's dark deeds!"

Alpha Connor looked more agitated and verging to anger, "You are not! You are plainly committing treason to my father and to the Dark Moon Pack. Remember where you stand, Miss Athena! This is the territory of a wolf pack which swore allegiance and loyalty to King Remus... My father, who I love and respect greatly!"

Then it dawned on Athena that Alpha Connor is the favorite of King Remus and the relations of a father and son will not be easy to break. It created doubt in her mind if she should pursue revealing more to Alpha Connor.

Though, the resident witch of the Dark Moon Pack is confident with one thing, Alpha Connor will not harm or risk his mate... Louve.

Athena may not be able to convince Alpha Connor to see King Remus as a murderer; definitely, she will fail to convince Alpha to join forces against his own father.

"I thought you are ready and prepared to know the entire truth about your father and many more. But I am wrong. I guess you are not yet ready for everything and do not have what it takes to play such an important role for the future of Werewolf Kingdom and the Supernatural World." Sadly said by Athena and heaved a deep sigh towards the end.

"It is unfortunate as well to know this side of you Miss Athena. I never have thought that a loyal subject of my late Queen mother would hold such resentment towards the King she loved dearly.

Unlike your slander, I bet my father will help me in protecting Louve if what you say is true that she is the Chosen One."

"No!!! Promise me one thing; never tell your father or anyone about Louve being the Chosen One. You will bring death and danger to her if you ever disclose this matter to your father. If you do not want to believe your father being evil; then at least be wise and keep to yourself about Louve being the Chosen One!"

A silence fell on Alpha Connor after hearing Athena's reaction.

The Alpha analyzes if he should do so or not but if it does risk the satefy of his own mate then...

"Fine, I promise to keep this from everyone. No one will know about this. For the sake of my mate. But I cannot promise if I can still trust you!"

"Do not worry! I will leave anyway to replace my allies for Louve's protection. Darkness will follow her no matter what. So she needs more allies for protection and survival. Forgive me if I caused distraught to you." After they talked, Athena left the Dark Moon Pack.

ལ

The preparations for Prince Shiro's departure and mission have been finalized. Even the preparations for the Rank Event have been set for implementation.

All the Executive Officers are gathered in the main office of Alpha Connor including Prince Shiro.

Prince Shiro is ready to embark on the first official mission from the Dark Moon Pack. A good record from Dark Moon Pack will help him have a good standing amongst the royal siblings. Though, his mission will be recorded as an envoy to allied werewolf packs.

But in actually, his real mission is to intercept any plans of assassination schemed by his older brother, Alpha Connor. And ensure the safety of the allied generals of Alpha Connor. "Alpha Connor, are you okay?" Andrew noticed that there is something bothering him.

"Don't worry, I am okay!" Alpha Connor reassured Andrew.

While the other Executive Officers discuss to each other about the upcoming Rank Event, Alpha Connor remembers the earth shattering revelation he just received from Athena.
