Submitting to My Lycan Prince Mate

77 Young Evans

Louis's POV

"What's the status now?"

Leaning against the command console, I queried Martin over the radio. He was on his way to the site of the Black Pearl incident, my trusted beta and personal warrior.

"Your Highness, the sea is still rough with heavy fog, visibility is low, and we're still searching for Luna Diana."

Martin's voice remained steady, but his words only added to my already mounting frustration."We need to find my mother at all costs! Got it?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

Ending the communication, I angrily ripped the radio off my chest and hurled it against the wall.

"Damn it!"

Next second, Garfield appeared like a ghost, calmly picking up the shattered radio. He stopped a meter away from me.

"Your Highness."

Not yet having calmed my inner rage, I vented my remaining fury at him.

"What is it?"

"You haven't slept in over thirty hours, Your Highness. It's time to rest."

"Do you really think it's a good idea, Garfield?" I snorted, "To suggest sleeping when my mother is still missing?"

Evans didn't back down despite my sarcasm; he continued to advise me, "I understand your feelings, Your Highness. But even the strongest Alpha needs to recharge."

"I don't care what you're plotting, Garfield."

I stared coldly into Evans' deep, dark eyes, trying to see into the heart of this mysterious and reserved man.

"But I won't let you hurt my family again. Never."

"It seems you have a deep misunderstanding of me, Prince Louis."

Evans lifted his gaze, his face growing stern, "I have never harmed any member of the royal family. If we're talking about threats and harm, I believe your recent actions come closer to that, don't they, dear Louis?"

Evans almost spat out my name through clenched teeth.

"You know what, Garfield?"

As I assessed Evans' face, barely concealing his anger, a surge of satisfaction rose within me.I took a step forward, closing the distance between us.

"Although you've cleared your name in front of the king, regarding Liam's death, in my heart, you're still guilty of his murder. When I ascend to the throne as the next king, I will reopen my brother's case and make you and your Black Mountain Pack pay for everything—"
