Lycan Prince Matteo

Freya

“Oh, my goddess, how did he find out? I felt guilty when he revealed that Clay had been my first kiss. It was the truth, but I never anticipated he would discover we were mates. I had already given up hope that he would ever find out about us. That’s why I was willing to initiate a relationship with Clay. I knew he had faced rejection, and no mate awaited him.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

But now that Matteo was claiming me, I felt an instant pang of sympathy for Clay. It was because I knew, deep in my heart, that I would choose my mate over him. Matteo was visibly upset, and I could sense that. I was scared and concerned that he might do something terrible to Clay, and I disliked that. He was in the dark about everything.

Our conversation concluded after I told him I hated him and began to cry. I only did that to test him, to see if he would feel remorse and try to console me. And when he did, I already knew I had succeeded. I had found a way to get what I wanted.

“I’m going home now,” I declared, not taking my eyes off him.

“Fine,” he responded. I knew what he was thinking. He understood that he had already lost to me, so I smiled. “You’re smiling? Are you so happy that I’m so powerless over you?”

“Yes, any problem with that?” I replied. He sighed before pulling me away. I looked up at him; he was tall and imposing at 6 feet 7 inches, while I was only 5 feet 6 inches.

“You should be thankful that I’ve been feeling guilty for almost five months for hurting you by being with another female Lycan. Just so you know, your punishment is still waiting for you,” he said before claiming my mouth.

After that prolonged kiss, we caught our breath, and he hadn’t taken his eyes off me. “What?” I asked.

“Nothing; I just can’t believe you’re right here before me.” I rolled my eyes at him and remembered Mom and Dad waiting.

“I really need to go home now.”

“Can’t you stay here? You know I’m a Lycan, and it’s in our nature to mark and mate with our mate as soon as we find them.”

“Don’t you dare do that,” I warned him.

“If I planned on doing that, you’d be lying on my bed by now. I just want to be with you.” “My parents will be worried, and I don’t want that.”

“What about the tournament tomorrow?” he asked. “What about it?”

“Are you still going to fight? You don’t know how worried I was when Jack called your name. Although I already know you have your wolf, I still couldn’t help but worry.”

“I’m fine, and I can fight. Mom and Dad trained me regularly, and they were both skilled fighters, among the best in the Midnight Pack,” I assured him. “Plus, Pi is so excited, and I don’t think we’ll lose to anyone.”

“Just don’t get hurt, please,” he pleaded. Touched by his concern, I decided to reward him.

“Kiss me,” I told him. He gently rubbed my face with his thumb, and I felt a stirring sensation between my thighs. Witnessing his smile, he willingly granted my request.

We shared another deep and prolonged kiss. Just as I was about to speak, he beat me to it: “Fine, let’s go.” I smiled, appreciating that he didn’t want to be away from me even for a moment. However, I had to because I needed to inform my parents about us and myself.

Certain that they would scold me for keeping them in the dark, I had to prepare. We walked back to our house, with Calvin and a few of his warriors following us.

His beta was grinning when we descended, and Matteo informed him that he would escort me home. I was sure he already knew that everything was okay between us.

Now, I had to figure out how to tell my parents about it. I anticipated their shock since I had kept them uninformed about him.

“Your parents had no idea about me?” he inquired as we walked home, Calvin and four other Lycan warriors trailing us.

“Do you always have your babysitter with you?” I asked, annoyed. Why did a full-grown Lycan need someone following him all the time?

“You know I am a prince and a future king,” he replied, and I puffed up with his response, continuing to walk. “Others would have jumped at me if it were them, you know,” he added.

“Who would want a mate that all females desire and worry that one might succeed?” I asked, leaving him speechless.

“I’m worried that Clay and Alec might take you away from me, but I’m still happy that you are mine,” he replied, smiling. “And stop rolling your eyes at me. You don’t know how much I wanted you to do that when I made love to you.” I looked at him instantly, and behind us, his future beta and warriors were laughing.

“Can you stop using such words? Your warriors are following us and hearing everything you say!” I exclaimed, and he laughed.

I started walking faster, annoyed with him. Now that I knew he was infatuated with me, there was no way I wouldn’t take advantage of that.

I sensed him behind me, walking even faster, although I knew it was pointless because he was much faster than me.

“Frey!” I rolled my eyes when I heard a familiar voice. Why did I have to see this idiot? “Frey, let’s talk,” he said, sounding distraught.

“What is it, Joric?” I asked impatiently.

“I’m your mate, right?” I was surprised. How on earth did he think he was my mate? Was he out of his mind? “It’s because I can’t smell you, so I can’t acknowledge you. Tell me the truth, Freya.”

“I am not your equal, fool! Even if you were, I wouldn’t acknowledge it,” I retorted, turning my back to him. I had no patience for his absurdities.

“Freya, I’m aware of it. You’re mine; just admit it,” he insisted, trailing after me. Concern crept in as Matteo was close behind us.

“You’re not my mate, Joric, so you should refrain from making such claims,” I firmly asserted.

“Joric, what’s happening?” inquired Alpha Daniel, his father, drawing attention to our situation.

“Dad, she knows. She knew I was her mate but refused to tell me. She’s upset because of my past flings,” he disclosed, and I despised the situation. I couldn’t fathom what had come over him to behave this way.

“Freya?” Alpha Daniel turned to me, and I shook my head, signaling that he was not my mate. “She’s already made it clear, Joric. She doesn’t sense the bond, so she’s not your mate.”

“She’s just saying that! I can’t smell her scent, that’s why she managed to lie. I want her, only her. I’ve desired her since she joined the pack, but Clay and Alec are guarding her. That’s why I can’t approach her,” he rambled, and it seemed like he was on the verge of losing his position.

“I’m sorry, Alpha, but he’s not my mate,” I insisted, attempting to leave. However, Joric intercepted me.

“You’re mine, Freya, only mine. Neither Clay nor Alec has any claim over you!” he shouted. Alpha Daniel and Beta Jack escorted him away, but Matteo intervened. I hoped the aspiring Alpha would cease his nonsensical behavior. Deciding to distance myself, I walked away, realizing that I still needed to have dinner since my supposed mate hadn’t bothered to invite me.
