Lycan Prince Matteo

I enjoyed conversing with Freya; she’s quite innocent, and I’m confident that Calvin and the others have already taken a liking to her. When she quickened her pace, I decided to give her some space and discreetly follow. Initially, like everyone else, I perceived her as fragile. Witnessing her unexpected display of strength in a fight changed that perception. Even before discovering she was destined to be mine, I felt a certainty, and even my inner beast concurred.

“Frey,” the Alpha’s son, an idiot, called her. Why does everyone address her so informally while I can’t? No, it’s because I prefer to address her differently, acknowledging our mate bond. Pausing, I observed the idiot’s actions towards my mate, with Calvin doing the same. However, Joric’s move was a mistake; he began claiming Freya as his mate.

What’s wrong with him? Then, his father intervened. Knowing he wouldn’t choose Freya as the pack’s Luna due to his perception of her weakness, I almost laughed at his son’s insistence. Joric couldn’t even sense her, yet he believed otherwise.

Freya had informed Daniel that he wasn’t her mate, but the idiot remained unconvinced. Jealous of Clay and Alec, he was powerless to challenge them. I struggled to control my beast, enraged by its desire for our mate. As Daniel and Jack attempted to intervene, I stepped forward and witnessed Freya walking away.

“You’re aware she’s not your mate, Joric,” I asserted.

“Your Highness,” Daniel interjected, seemingly wanting me to let him handle his son.

“Silence, Daniel. Your son behaves this way because you indulged his every whim. You should have trained him to be a better alpha, not a whining mutt.”

“You don’t understand!” the mutt interjected. “She knows she’s mine. That’s why she keeps avoiding me. Maybe she thought I’d reject her because I always tease her, but it was just my way of getting her attention,” he added.

“Stop it, Joric. If she were your mate, she would’ve already shown interest. But you see how indifferent she is towards you. She doesn’t like you!” Daniel shouted at him. “You better straighten yourself out, or I’ll do it for you,” he declared, now with conviction.

“Jack!” He called his beta and the warrior accompanying him, and took Joric away.

“No, Dad, I’ll make sure to win her over. I’ll do anything to have her. I love Freya, and she’s all I want!” Joric continued shouting as he was pulled away.

“I’m very sorry for the trouble, Your Highness,” Daniel said.

“If you want him to inherit your title, you should look into your son more closely,” I replied before continuing to walk. I had to check on Freya to ensure she got home safely.

“Matteo, what do you think is wrong with Joric?” Calvin asked when we stopped in front of Freya’s home.

“He’s lost his mind,” I replied, looking up at my mate’s window. I hoped she could smell my scent and, at least, look out because I couldn’t be sure if she was there or not unless I saw her.

She remained silent, and no matter how much I strained to hear, I couldn’t. “Freya, dear, come down now; dinner is ready,” I heard her mom yell.

“Idiot!” I said it out loud.

“What’s wrong?” Calvin asked worriedly.

“I forgot to invite her for dinner!” I exclaimed, and he laughed. “Is that amusing to you?”

“She’s already at home, so we can return to the villa now, right?” He asked, and I nodded. “I’ll assign warriors to look after them,” he added, and I smiled at him. He knew what to do, and we went back to the villa. This was the first time I had been able to sleep happily. I might have a good dream and hope that she’s there too.

The following day, the warrior reported everything about Collins to me. Everything was good, and Freya went to sleep early. Her dad told her to do so to ensure she had her strength for the fight. I could tell they loved her a lot, and she reciprocated.

Just like yesterday, Calvin handled the investigation, and I’m glad we are about to finish. After this tournament, we’ll be able to return to the palace and introduce my mate to my father. He would be very excited, for sure, because my mother was his fated mate as well.

The tournament has been going smoothly. I can see how excited everyone is and how happy they are to fight against each other. I think some of them want to challenge someone and prove themselves strong.

Freya has been fighting in her human form, and I have not seen her shift even once. I admire her for being strong and wise. Until she lost to a male fighter. I saw them shake their hands and smile. She didn’t shift, so her opponent didn’t shift as well, and I can say that it was a very close fight.

I didn’t think that she’d lose. She may have let her opponent win because she didn’t want to fight any of her friends, Clay and Alec.

Daily, after the tournament, I invited Freya to come with me to the villa. I wanted to take her already, but I had to stop myself. I knew better than to force her to do whatever I wanted. I had a feeling that I needed to ask her first before I did what I wanted to do to her.

It was the last day of the tournament, and I was once again seated in the chair intended for me with Daniel while his beta, Jack, was with the fighters. His daughter must have been well now because I didn’t see worry on his face anymore.

This time, Joric and Clay were the only pair left to fight in the finals. I wonder who will win. I must admit that he had been so serious that he won all his fights. He was very aggressive, but I can see that he was using his brain and looking after his opponents’ weaknesses.

Clay, on the other hand, was very calm. It was as though he was not worried at all. He looked confident, and I looked at my mate, who was cheering for him. I felt jealous, but when I looked at Joric, I saw that he was too.

I want to laugh at those two because they liked what was already mine. They can fight all they want, but Freya will only be mine and mine alone.
