The Alpha's True mate

Farnborough is a peaceful city, blessed by the moon goddess, it is a kingdom of seven wolf packs with King Kerniin the All Alpha and sovereign ruler of Farnborough kingdom he also leads his pack in the kingdom, the crescent moon pack.

He is a just king who gives equal opportunities to everyone regardless of their race, size, affluence, or breed earning him the love and respect of all under him.

His greatest dream, however, is to unite the werewolf kingdom with his human empire as one and not just a confederacy of two different races. He hopes his sons will bring this dream to reality by ruling the kingdom together but that is a wish he knows will never come true.

Luke and Remus, two half-brothers and apparent heirs to the throne live their lives fighting each other tooth and nail to emerge the sole ruler.

Remus was born in the werewolf kingdom, the first child and crown prince of Farnborough by birth. He was born out of love from the king's marriage with his mother who died during birth.

Remus never got to meet his father after his birth as the king was exiled to war after the death of his mate, the All-Luna. Remus grew tall and strong waiting for his father who returned ten years after his birth with another baby.

Prince Remus was excited to see his father to show him how well he had grown, but his father brought a big shock to him.

"Hurry up Eric, we can't keep Father waiting." He said running down the hallway to his father's chambers.

"Wait up my prince, you will hurt yourself." Eric ran after him as well.

"Prince Remus is here." The butlers announced his presence.

"Remus come," his father called him into his personal bed chambers.

He was excited, this was the third night after his return. He was so excited he had a lot to tell him.

"Yes father," he bowed to him.

"Come closer." His father beckoned on him. "Look," the king pointed at the young boy of about three years old huddled on his bed. "His name is Luke, Remus and he is your brother."

"My brother?" Incredulous he looked at his father waiting for him to say he was joking, he sniffled in the air, and The half-breed reeked of his father, that alone annoyed him.

"He is a halfling, though his birth was a mistake, he is our family and we will treat him like one." Smiling he stared dotingly at the boy infuriating Remus who had only hoped his father would look at him like that.

"You mean your family." Getting out of his father's grasp he ran out of the room with tears in his eyes, how could his father betray him this way, he waited for him, believing he would be back for him, rather than be bought a halfling for him.

"Remus," King Kernin called watching him run out of his room.

Dejected, Princess Remus ran out of the hall, out into the garden under his tree where he sat crying.

"Prince Remus." His butler walked up behind him, slowly.

"Why Eric, I waited for him all these years, and he comes back with a halfling asking me to warm up to him." He was vexed.

"I am sure he means well." He had to be neutral.

"Mean well? How!! He roared, his eyes bright gold, scared Eric took a step back in fear.

"Your Highness you need to calm down." He was on the verge of transforming.

"Remus" Princess Isabelle called running down the garden slop towards them.

"Slow down Isabelle you will injure yourself." Remus calmed down visibly, she was running towards them and smiling. Eric had never been more grateful for her timely arrival, knowing Prince Remus's records, his life just flashed before his eyes.

Maintaining his distance he walked behind them, trying not to eavesdrop.

Princess Isabelle is Prince Remus' best friend, the one who can withstand his horrible moods. She is the dream of a lot of girls, her beauty is second to none in the whole of Farnborough, rumor has it that she and Prince Remus are mates but there is no sign of their bond.

"What has got you in a bad mood today?" Princess Isabelle watched her best friend throw rocks in the village pond. He only does that whenever he is upset about something.

"It is nothing." he lied picking up another stone.

"Are you going to tell me or do I have to force it out of you?"

Taking a deep breath he patted the rock beside him, motioning for her to sit beside him.

"Father has returned."

"I know, weren't you always so eager for his return."

"He brought a halfling with him."

"Well, maybe he saw him at a battle you know hearted your father can he."

"Not that Isabelle, he said the halfling is my brother, he looked upon him like he was the greatest treasure in the world, he didn't even look at me like that!"

"Remus it is not."

"Prince Remus, it is time for your sword practice." Eric interrupted them. Taking a deep breath Remus got up stretching out his hand to help Isabelle up.

"I have to go Isabelle." sadly letting go of her arm he followed Eric back to the palace.

Isabelle watched her best friend walk away sadly, more than anyone she knew how much he lined up and waited for his father's return carefully planning the day-to-day details, training day and night. Sometimes he would keep her up late at night practicing his speech with his father when he finally arrived.

Taking a deep breath she dusted her gown, walking towards the village alone. Her favourite pastime whenever Remus is busy is to mingle with the villagers.

Waving at some of the kids as she passed by she smiled happily heading towards the hut of Nana, the voyage's oldest healer.

"Nana." She called as she got in.

"My dear, come here." Nana sat in front of her small

But, she was busy arranging some herbs.

"Nana, let me help you with that."

"What's bothering you, my dear, you look pale."

"It is Luke's nana, his father brought him a halfling brother? She explained to her.

"A halfling? In our city? He won't survive long." She said flippantly.

"What do you mean?" She was intrigued.

"No halfling has ever survived the past five years in our kingdom, my dear, no one has." She told her.
