Lycan Prince Matteo

“Congratulations!” I told Alec and Clay. They are done with their training, and in two days, they will be taking their oath. I am excited because I know how much this means to them. They left the pack for me, and even when Alec found his mate, Clay was still alone. I admit that if Matteo had not found out about us being mates, I would gladly take him as my chosen mate. He is a good friend and brother to me, even though I am a year older than him.

“Thank you, Your Highness.” They both replied, smiling. Camilla laughed because she knew I didn’t want them to call me that way. But since there were other omegas around, I would let it slide. I wanted to be respected by them, so I had to set boundaries. I had to show everyone that I was their Luna and future queen.

“Now that you’re both ready, we will discuss some important matters. But it has to wait until you’re done with the oathtaking,” Calvin said, and the two nodded. I am very happy that they are with me. My parents chose to stay in the Midnight Pack, so having them here with me feels like home. Well, I love being here because of my mate. But the pack is where I grew up, and my adoptive parents love me like their own. “We expect your utmost dedication, especially in protecting the princess.” He added, and the two looked at me with concern.

“Is something happening?” Clay asked. “What do you mean?” Calvin asked too.

“Is there a threat to Fre-I mean, the princess?” He is indeed sharp.

“I already told you, we will brief you after the oath-taking. For now, enjoy yourselves, because I don’t think you will be able to do that when you start working, since the princess has a lot on her plate and you need to be with her at all times.” After Calvin said that, they understood something was going on. I can tell because of the way they look at me. They were both worried, so I had to assure them that I was fine.

“Everything is OK, so you don’t need to worry yet. I am cautious as well, and I will appreciate it if you are not worrying too much.”

“You knew you were our friend before you became everyone’s princess. Ever since, we have looked after you and worried about you, especially when your parents are not around,” Clay said. “I know that; that’s why I am thankful to Matteo that they chose the two of you to be with me. I am confident that I will be able to do my duty with you two beside me.”

“You can rely on us, and we promise to protect you with our lives,” Alec said. I know they will do that, but I didn’t want that. I wanted them to be happy, so whatever or whoever it was that threatened the kingdom, I would make sure not to let him succeed.

Calvin left us a little later to give us time to get acquainted. Camilla has been with us since she worked directly for me and is Alec’s mate. Clay is happy when we talk about how we were before, and I am too. We were in the palace’s gazebo, and after our chat, we walked back to the palace. Alec and Camilla have their couple time, Clay talks to James, and, of course, I go back to our bedroom to check if Matteo is done with his prince’s duty with the king.

He was not there yet, so I walked out and went to the king’s office. But before I could get up the stairs, I heard a noise coming out of the mini library. If I am not mistaken, Matteo prevented everyone from coming there since he planned to renovate it. Everything in there will be transferred temporarily to the archive room. I got curious, so I decided to look.

The door was slightly ajar, so I pushed it a bit, and it opened. I am not thinking about what I can find out. But when I saw Matteo there with Eunice, my blood reached its boiling point. “Baby!” he exclaimed when he saw me, then the bitch took that chance and kissed him. That made me lose control and approach her without thinking, but my mate got in between us. I glared at him, so he knew I was pissed.

“It is not what you think it is. Calm down,” he said. “I am not doing anything.”

“Why are you here?” I thought you were with the king.” I asked and took his advice. I am a princess now, and I have to deal with things like royals.

“I came here to check if everything was ready for transfer. I left the door ajar so I could see if you were back,” he replied. “I looked at him and then at the bitch. “I don’t know why she was there. I was shocked too. She just came in before you and wanted us to talk, but I refused,” he explained. “Why are you explaining this to her? We had been together for decades, and you’re throwing that away for her?”

“She’s my mate, and I love her!” Matteo yelled, “How many times do I need to tell you that there was never an us? We mutually agreed to have that physical contact without commitment.”

“I rejected my mate for you!”

“I didn’t ask you to do that! I would have encouraged you to accept him and be happy for you if you had told me. But you didn’t, and you made me think you had not found your mate yet,” he said.

“This issue will continue unless I do something about it. Is that correct?” I asked Eunice. She will never stop coming for my mate if I don’t make her understand where she should stand. I turned around and walked towards the king. I had to ask his permission for a meeting with Eunice and her father. She’s not going to stop and will only be a problem for me and Matteo. I didn’t want that, and I didn’t want to doubt him either. But I cannot put myself at ease if I am not going to make that bitch understand that he is mine alone.

“What are you planning to do?” Eunice asked when she caught up with me. Matteo followed us and was clueless.

“You are not allowed to question what I want to do,” I replied and continued walking, not minding her at all.

“Baby,” Matteo said, taking my hand, so I stopped and looked at him.

“What? Are you going to stop me from taking action against her?” I asked angrily.

“No, of course not!” he exclaimed. “I was planning on banishing her from the kingdom if she did not stop,” he added. I calmed myself after hearing him.

“What!! You can’t do that to me, Matteo!” Eunice, who was just behind us, said it angrily. She looked different now than I expected. It was as though she wanted to kill me, even if she was talking to my mate.

“That’s Prince Matteo to you!” he replied, now even angry. “I have been dealing with your disrespect, and I think I should stop considering your father’s position to stop me from reprimanding and punishing you!”

“We almost had our pup, and you’re telling me this?” Eunice exclaimed, “When you’re fu****g me, you never care, no matter how or what I call you. But because of this bitch, you are asking me to be respectful?”

“That’s it; you asked for this.” He said that and pulled me away. Then I saw Calvin coming. “Let me go!” Eunice yelled.

“If you don’t want me to end your life, come with me quietly,” he said, pulling her away while she continued to struggle and fight him.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

“I am not yet finished with you, bitch! If Matteo never becomes mine, he will never be with you or with any woman!!” She continued shouting and yelling.

“I’m sorry about that, baby. I never thought it would come to this.” Matteo said as we walked to the king’s office. Even if he assured me that he didn’t like her, I’m still worried about what Eunice would do to separate us.
