Cold Hearted Mate
Chapter 59

A successful first mission for Prince Shiro from the request of the Alpha Connor of the Dark Moon Pack.

The group of Prince Shiro was able to render assistance towards the fellow General of Alpha Connor who is also one of his great supporters in the royal court. "Thank you, Prince Shiro and Andrew for your help." Gratefully expressed by the General.

"Do not worry, General! My older brother sent me because we found out that Prince Jasper is making drastic moves to eliminate the allies of my other older brother, Alpha Connor." Prince Shiro informed the General regarding the intel they had about Prince Jasper's schemes. A scene of dead werewolves around with some injured warriors being assisted to safety.

While the Executive Officers started to gather around Prince Shiro and the General who are both sitting under the tree.

"I do not know what would have happened if you guys did not arrive on time to help me." Said by the General before continuing.

At the same time, the Executive Officers and Prince Shiro listened carefully to the general that is about to share everything he knows and suggesting for the things to be done next.

"If Prince Jasper has already made his move against the allies of Alpha Connor, it means that at this moment, the other allies of Alpha Connor are under attack by Prince Jasper's assassins and other allies. If you are not reading this novel on Jobni b.com, some sentences are incomplete.You may have saved me but I fear that the other Generals of King Remus are currently in danger. Prince Jasper has finally made his move against Alpha Connor." Stated by the General sitting next to Prince Shiro.

A confused and surprised look is painted on the faces of the Executive Officers.

Even Prince Shiro cannot help himself but delve into deep thought about the things happening around the royal palace.

Not only the war between King Lucio and King Remus that they have to worry about but a showdown between two royal siblings is about to take place if things escalate into full-blown conflict.

"I just do not understand why our eldest brother would do this in time of war against King Lucio. He is just making things worse for our father. If he wants to be favored by our father, doing these kinds of things does not help his position in court." Prince Shiro expressed his confusion regarding the actions of his eldest brother.

"Indeed you are still young to understand political maneuvers and certain realities, Prince Shiro! All the Generals agreed with our observation that Prince Jasper is the most intelligent and the biggest strategist amongst the royal siblings. He is someone to be feared indeed and has such a certain grasp of situations that none of you can comprehend. He thinks way ahead compared to any of his royal siblings." Explained by the general.

"I did not know that you think highly of Prince Jasper. Then, why align yourselves with Alpha Connor? If all of your Generals think that highly of Prince Jasper?" Andrew curiously asked the General.

A smile and small chuckle was released by the General.

"I do not mean to mock any of you but you need to understand as well, our interest does not align with Prince Jasper's plans. Both Prince Jasper and Alpha Connor are realist individuals. They both deal with the importance of security, material power and self- dependence. But Prince Jasper's decisions are shaped through different facets, such as goals, threats, fears, identities, and other elements of perceived reality. It influences him to create such an advanced strategy." Further explained by the General. Though even he has explained it clearly to them, the others could still not comprehend such action of Prince Jasper.

"To make it simpler, Prince Jasper knows that this is the perfect time for him to strike. Everyone knows that King Remus favors Alpha Connor more than Prince Jasper. That is why it pushed him to this point that no matter what he does, Alpha Connor is always above him in terms of favor from their father.

So, Prince Jasper is forcing the King of all Alphas to consider him as the heir to the throne by eliminating the faction that supports Alpha Connor. Without the faction that supports Alpha Connor, Prince Jasper will finally gain something that Alpha Connor lacks thereof." The General enlightened everyone from their confusion.

"What would that be?" Prince Shiro naively asked.

"Political dominance and the support of a super majority." Revealed by the General with full seriousness.

Prince Shiro and the Executive Officers altogether knew from that point on that it was no longer a simple squabble between two royal siblings.

-

In the Dark Moon Pack.

In the main office of the mansion of Alpha Connor.

"What do you mean about we should include Louve in the mission? This is a dangerous mission for her to be included in! I cannot risk her taking part in it! Tell me Arnold, why should I?" Alpha Connor scolding Arnold regarding the advice of including Louve in the mission.

"Alpha, I know that it is risky but it is more risky to leave her here in the Dark Moon Pack with fewer Executive Officers to look after her. You have sent three of your strongest Executive Officers with Prince Shiro due to a dangerous mission. And now, you are compelled to do this mission for your father. So, if we leave Louve here, there are no reliable warriors to look after her. Lastly, the others are starting to notice your sudden attention towards Louve." Arnold tries to explain to Alpha Connor. "What do you mean, sudden attention? I am discreet with my actions towards her." Alpha Connor having a defensive tone towards Arnold's argument.

"No, you are not being discreet, Alpha! Others are starting to notice the way you look at Louve. The way you suddenly behave when she is around. Your sudden concern for her which surprises others like Diana. You are the one blowing up our cover up on her identity as your mate.

Thus, this mission is the best way to protect her. Since she will be near you and we can easily provide her the best protection through the best warriors being around her. Including yourself and you will worry less because she will be around you. I hope you understand my point, Alpha! So far, this is the best plan I could come up with." Arnold is trying to convince Alpha Connor.

A long silence...

Then Alpha Connor covered his face with his palm trying to shake off his frustration and ponder on Arnold's recommendation.

Right after the training, Alpha Connor gathered his Executive Officers even including May.

Alpha Connor also called the attention of the newly formed Golden Crew to join him for a meeting in the conference room of the mansion.

As they enter one by one in the conference room for a meeting with Alpha Connor. They could see Alpha Connor sitting in the middle with Arnold by his side.

"Before we start, all of you... please take a seat." Alpha Connor commanded everyone.

Then the Alpha Connor continued after seeing everyone took their own seat.

"Before my younger brother left for a mission, I also received a request from my father. The King of all Alpha werewolves, King Remus requested for all allied wolf packs to strengthen their defense against King Lucio's rogue army due to the most recent attack towards Blue Moon Pack..."

Before the Alpha Connor continued, a loud gasp and whispering from the others became apparent from the information that the Blue Moon Pack was attacked by the rogue werewolves.

"Though, there is another request from King Remus that we have to..." Alpha Connor was not able to finish his last statement because of May's interjection.

"What you mean Blue Moon Pack's got attacked? Were they defeated by the rogue army of King Lucio? If they were defeated, then that is worrisome because Blue Moon Pack is considered to be one of the string wolf packs allied with King Remus." May shared her own thoughts to everyone.

"Yes, they were defeated but their Alpha was able to survive the attack. There were a lot of casualties amongst their ranks that is why they sought refuge under King Remus' protection. Which leads us to the current matter that I would like to discuss.

King Remus asked for the Dark Moon Pack to render two squads that will scout around Blue Moon Pack and guarantee no threat surrounds their territory while the Royal Army escorts the Alpha of the Blue Moon Pack and his people.

Thus, this will be your first mission together with me, for the newly formed Golden Crew. This will serve as training as well as how you will perform in the upcoming war." Announced by Alpha Connor.

"I want everyone to prepare for the mission. Is it understood?" Alpha Connor commanded everyone.

"Yes, Alpha!" Altogether, everyone replied in resonance.

But there was someone who was not happy to hear that the first mission as a member of the newly formed Golden Crew.

To visit the place that Louve tried to avoid and swore not to return ever again... The Blue Moon Pack!

"Oh, shoot! What the hell!" Exclaimed by Louve silently in her mind.
