"Where would you like to put these, sir?" one of the workers asked as she held the bouquet of roses in her hands.

"I'll take them with me" The raven-haired soldier smiled his famous smile that made every girl and guy swoon before taking the bouquet. He walked out of the store and started making his way to his house, where his mother would be waiting.

Oh, how he missed his mother.

The soldier just came back from a long trip beyond the borders of their kingdom because of a large tribe attacking them. Being the head of the army, he had to be the first to set off and last to come back.

So now, he's back and is ready to surprise his mother with his presence.

But just as he neared the house, he saw two of the castle workers standing at his doorstep talking with his mother, who seemed to be very delighted with whatever they were telling her.

This was something very unusual and rare. You don't see the royal workers outside the castle boundaries every day. Not to say in front of his house.

He approached the house and cleared his throat earning the attention of the two men and his mother. "Seungcheol!" she exclaimed and hugged him tightly. He gladly returned the hug, but then pulled away and looked at the two unfamiliar figures ahead of him.

"Do you need anything?" he asked politely, still showing authority as the alpha that protected this house. "We have a letter from his majesty" one of the men cleared his throat before opening a scroll and reading it out loud.

"Dear head of the army,

I, Prince of Caratland, have sent two of my loyal workers to announce that I have taken a liking to you and would like to have you as my alpha mate and the father of the next heirs. If you would like, you could come with my workers back to the castle, and discuss the event.

Yours truly,
Prince Jeonghan."

Seungcheol was flabbergasted to say the less. The prince likes him? Not only that but also wants to mate with him?! Where did this come from?

He wanted to decline the offer, but he saw his mother and saw how her eyes sparkled with a wide smile on her face. A smile that he has been wanting to see for years. After his father died in the army, his mother was never the same. Due to the bond that was broken between her and her husband, she became a weak omega that requires protection.

The mother looked at her son with begging eyes. "Take it, Seungcheol. Get yourself a husband and live in the castle. Let my grandchildren have a good life in royalty" she said, tears threatening to fall as she looked up at her only son. "I can't leave you alone here, mother. Dad wouldn't like this either" Seungcheol answered her, his voice shaky at the thought of leaving his mother for a better life. Something he would never want to do.

The weak omega placed a hand on her son's chest and cupped his face with the other. "Don't worry about me, son. I raised you and cared for you. Now it's your turn to have a family of your own. Go with these lovely men and meet your future husband" Seungcheol shook his head again before averting his attention to the man that called him.

"Sir, I'm sure the prince wouldn't mind if you brought your mother with you." the raven-haired alpha looked unsure at first but his mother will only push him further after getting that information so he sighed before nodding his head. "Then I guess it's settled. Just let us change then we'll get going" the two workers nodded and bowed, getting back in the carriage to wait for the mother and son duo to finish.

Seungcheol wore a formal back suit which was a bit small, seeing how his mother bought it for him years ago, and now he gained much more muscle. But he wouldn't hide the fact that he actually liked the way it hugged his body sculpture making him look very attractive. With his broad shoulders and small waist along with his muscular thighs and arms, he was sure the prince won't be able to handle him.

"You ready, mother?" the head of the army asked before seeing his mother walk out in an elegant tall floral dress, that went down to her legs, and her black hair styled in a braid as it rested on her shoulder.

His mother was old and a bit skinny, but Seungcheol still thought she was the most beautiful woman out there. No matter how old she gets, his mother will forever be the prettiest in his eyes.

"You should give these to the prince. We can't go empty-handed" Seungcheol smiled at his mother as she gave him the roses bouquet and then hugged her.

"I love you so much, mother. No matter what happens there, I'll make sure you stay with me" The mother chuckled and patted her son's back, hugging him just as tight, before they entered the carriage and started making their way to the palace.
