DEAN'S POV

The moon shines bright and awake like my mind that constantly thinks of one particular being, Pharm. I truly haven't felt this before or anything like this as well. I kept thinking of little details about him. His eyes that turned reddish brown when he's on his other form and his calm and innocent face. I could not think how one being could affect me this much that he fills my mind with endless things that is about him. But reality hits me. 

I am the heir to the ruler of the kingdom, eldest son of King Leo and Queen Cyris. I have a duty to fulfill and do. Falling for someone is something I could never risk due to such high expectations and position I am tasked to take. Although my father did ensure that I am free to have choices. I can't leave out the fact that He might have someone destined and fated for him. Such reality that shattered my thoughts. It was now off to bed to rest my mind from the endless worries the world has for me in store.

END OF POV 

When the brothers went downstairs to eat breakfast, They had a small smiles in their faces to which their Father and Mother couldn't help but ask. "Seems so happy, Did something happened at the training?" their Mother asked and gently smiled at her sons. "We loved it ,Mom" Win answered and  then smiled at their Mom. "That's nice to hear.  Later is your offering so make sure you three don't forget it" The Queen reminded and the three couldn't help but sigh, so many ceremonial stuff. " Yes, Mother" Dean replied. " I have no worries since you've got the best security in the kingdom" She assured mostly herself from the worries that hers sons might be in danger considering they were attacked not so long ago.

The temple is near the frozen forest, where the goddess of love stays. deep down the forest is  where the tree of love stands. Although the frozen forest looked scary, its story holds such tragedies and bitter fate of others. The brother's thoughts were diverted to Korn's constant glancing at his phone with much interest to whatever he was looking at 

"Ya!, you took a photo of him secretly? Your making a move already? "Dean scolded. "Ya!, Privacy. Have you ever heard about that?" Korn told him. they were communicating through mind link as they didn't want to be scolded by the king himself. "Guys, enough. We need to hurry so we can go to the temple" Win said to the both of them. As soon as they had finished their breakfast they excused themselves to get ready to got to the temple. At the entrance of the castle they saw the three discussing, "Hey" Korn called out and when the three had noticed their presence they bowed in respect for the three princes.

"They are asking your highnesses if you would like to add additional guards for today's errands?" The guard head of the castle asked, He is in charge of assigning guards. " It won't be necessary" Dean replied which confused Korn, Dean is usually adding guards for the security especially that it's for a special errand. "Why do you say so?" Korn asked. "It's not as dangerous and we have them as well, Their top of their rankings and skilled in their pack, what more can you ask?" Win answered and Korn seemed to agree based on his expression.

   "We appreciate such honor your highness , may we excuse ourselves to get weapons before we leave to go to the temple?" Team asked and Dean nod in response before answering, "You may" They bowed down before going to the head quarters for the weapons they want to get. When they came back they were wearing the gears they went to get. "Apologies for being late than expected, somebody went ahead and got lays" Pharm rolled his eyes. It was obvious and a giver when Lays was mentioned. "Can't blame me. They'll confiscate my collection tomorrow" Team reasoned out. "No worries It was only a little time that the three of you were actually gone" Dean interrupted trying not to have a bickering.
