Lycan Prince Matteo

“Dear, forgive me if I had to hide Matteo’s condition from you while he was away,” Dad said. We are in his office with Calvin, James, and Rapha. My mate had her head down, and I don’t think it was because she was respecting my father.

“I don’t see any reason why you had to hide it from me. I even thought that he was with another woman again. I felt double the pain because of that.” She replied when she looked up.

“Yes, dear, I understand. If you can forgive this old man, I promise that I am not going to hide anything from you about my son.” Dad replied, and we were all shocked. He is the king, and he didn’t have to make such a promise.

“You don’t need to do that, Your Highness. I was hurt, thinking Eunice knew something that I was not allowed to know. I was jealous of her for being with him for a long time, and thinking she had been told about my mate’s condition made me feel like killing someone.”

“Princess!” Rapha exclaimed.

“It’s alright, Rapha. It was my fault,” I told him. I knew that he didn’t like what she said, but I understood her.

“I’m sorry, Rapha; I had no scent. There’s no way for him to know I am his, and Eunice is coming to me every time, threatening me about getting my mate from me or his first mate being alive and getting into my system. Fearing all the time that he would just leave me She said that, and that broke my heart. Calvin and James looked at me and then at her.

“Freya, we are mates. When our eyes met, my beast acknowledged you.” I assured her.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

“Your Lycan accepted me, but not you. I wish I could just reject this bond. I was about to choose someone ready to accept me for who and what I am, but you came between us.”

“It’s because you are mine!” I exclaimed. Why is she telling us about that? Is she going to reject me now?

“Why did you have to be there? I’m sure that you have no business there and have no right to get in between us when we are trying to claim each other.” She replied.

“Even before I found out that you were mine, I already had a feeling that you were my mate. That’s why I went there, thinking you were getting intimate with Clay. I didn’t like the idea of you being with him or Alec. I hated it when that bastard alpha was insisting that you’re his and was trying to claim you!” I shouted.

“Then why the hell can’t you say anything when I asked you about your first mate?” She shouted back. “I wanted to reject you, but Pi didn’t want to. I had been living in pain for months whenever you were in bed with Eunice. And now, I have to deal with your first mate, whom you have never seen or met before.”

I didn’t know what to say. I didn’t think that she would say that to me in front of everyone. I saw how hurt she was, and I didn’t know how to make her feel better. ‘It’s because you know nothing, idiot!’ My beast told me.

“It must be hard for you,” she continued. “You know, forcing yourself to accept me when you are still not over with your first mate? We couldn’t even feel each other’s feelings. So while I was fighting the rogues, I kind of thought about us. Don’t you think it would be better if I rejected you, or you rejected me?” She asked, and that made me angry.

“Son,” Dad said, holding my hand when I stood up. “Let’s talk about it; don’t do anything stupid.” He added that before I could reply, my beast took over my body without my permission.

“I am very sorry, mate. I have an idiotic human counterpart. Yes, I smelled our mate’s scents before, but I was sure that you were mine. Mine and Pi’s souls see eye to eye, and there’s no better and surer way to find one’s mate than that. Scents can be imitated, but not two souls seeing each other.” My beast said this before he saw himself in the back of my head.

“He is right, dear. That’s why I accepted you instantly. Finding one’s mate is very important for us. When you finally mark each other, you will be able to feel everything about you two.” Dad said. Freya was still looking at me, and even if my beast was quiet again, I still couldn’t find a word to say to her.

“Princess, you are the one who could smell him. You know that he is yours, so please don’t make a decision that you will regret later.” Rapha told her, smiling.

“Yes, Princess, and whether you believe it or not, Matteo was really happy when he found you. He did everything he could so he could have a chance to look you in the eyes so he would know whether you were mates or not. He didn’t look at any woman; I can attest to that in the name of my honor.” Calvin said.

Freya sighed, and I knew that she believed in everyone. Then she looked at me, saying, “You’re stupid. It’s really stupid to not even know your beast’s name.” I was shocked. No one knew that not even my dad. I couldn’t tell them that because I was worried that they would take it against me.

“And you know?” I asked, “Of course!” She replied. “Don’t tell me.”

“I have no intention.” She replied, and I sighed. I felt so little in front of them. I mean, who’s an idiot who doesn’t know their beast’s name? It’s only me.

It seems that we have a lot to talk about.” Dad said this as I sat back. “But before that, I want to ask you, dear, are you alright now after Matteo’s Lycan talked to you?”

“Yes, Your Highness.” She replied, and I sighed in relief. At least that’s one complication done.

Dad smiled and said, “My mate had no scent when I found her too.” I was shocked; he didn’t tell me about that. I looked at Calvin and James, and they were in the same state as me. But Rapha isn’t. “She got her scent when we marked each other. So you don’t have to worry about anything. I don’t know what the reason was behind my mate’s case, and neither do you. But one thing is sure: no one wanted her and you to become queens.” He added.

“That’s why you needed to train hard. Although the incident earlier proves that you are a fighter yourself, Plus, the fact that you are fully clothed when you shift back to your human form indicates that you are indeed strong.” Rapha said, and I saw fear in her eyes.

“Is that bad?’ She asked worriedly. So I stood up and sat beside her. I had to be near her and make her feel that I was with her. And thank goddess, she didn’t push me away when I held her.

“For those who will go against you, princess,” James said, smiling. “But you still need to learn about whatever power you still have that is yet to be discovered.” He added, and she smiled, nodding.

“Now that it is clear between you and Matteo, can you tell me what happened there?” Dad finally asked.
