Alpha Kane Hawthorne stood by the window, his phone pressed to his ear as he listened to his mother's voice crackle through the line.
First of all, he was very happy to know that his sister was visiting again. How good it was that she was visiting twice a week. He would start liking the royal family if his sister came this often.
"Kane, listen to me carefully," the Duchess said with gentle firmness. "You must treat the royal princess with the respect she deserves. Give her a real chance. She's not just here for the ceremony. Do not break her heart. I know how your previous dates ended up. This one is different. She is the crown prince's cousin. If you treat her badly, the impact will be on Portia. I know son, you won't let your sister to bend her head in front of the royal family."
"Yes, Mother," Alpha Hawthorne replied, his voice calm but dutiful. "Don't worry. I'll do what's required."
