Lycan Prince Matteo

Third Person’s POV

“What do you think you’re doing?” Freya asked as Matteo put her down when they entered their bedroom.

“I didn’t think you’d listen if I approached you normally. So, to ensure we were left alone to talk, I had to do that,” he explained.

“What do you want?” “Let’s talk.”

“We already are. Why not get straight to the point?” She snarled at him, “Look, I’m sorry; I truly am. I never expected Ronaldo to tell such a lie.”

“So, if someone tells me that you’re involved with someone else, should I believe them and apologize later when I discover it was all a lie?” she inquired. “I don’t care if you believe him or not, but at least you could have asked me before getting angry and threatening me.”

“I never threatened you!” he exclaimed.

“Holding me by my neck, almost choking me, wasn’t a threat to you.” “I’m truly sorry, Freya. I didn’t mean to-”

“It’s fine. At least I realized I shouldn’t expect anything from you,” she cut him off, not wanting to hear more because she was already hurt. “If you have nothing to say, I want to be alone,” she added, turning her back to him. Matteo didn’t insist; he knew he was at fault and decided to give her time to cool down.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

He left their bedroom and encountered his father. He needed to talk to him and seek advice. He knew he shouldn’t let this continue, but he had no way to reassure Freya. He didn’t know what to do or say; he desired his mate, but he lacked experience in handling serious relationships.

“Son, is something wrong?” King Marco asked. Matteo nodded as he sat in front of him. “Is it about your mate?” he inquired again.

“I don’t know what to do with her. She won’t forgive me, and I’m contemplating whether she still wants me as her mate.”

“How can you say that? She came with you so naturally; she wanted you.”

“Then why is it hard for her to forgive me? I’ve seen how you and Mom were; even when she was mad at you, she couldn’t help but forgive and trust you again.”

“Your mom and I are mated. We marked each other, and our bond is strong. You and Freya, on the other hand, haven’t marked each other yet and had a rough start. Take it easy and be more understanding. I’m sure your mate is very insecure because she doesn’t have a scent.”

“But how long do I have to do this, Dad? She seems so distant every day.”

“One thing I can assure you is that she wants you. When you decide to mark her, I know she’ll agree to it. It’s only a few days until the full moon, so until then, please be more patient.”

Matteo sighed heavily. All his life, he waited for his mate. When he smelled her, he was the happiest, but when he couldn’t find her, he was devastated. The king didn’t know what he was going to do, so he stood up. That’s why he sent him on different missions in the hope that he would come across her. But no, he never saw or smelled her again.

Even so, he still had high hopes until that night when he felt that unbearable pain. He thought his mate had died. After considering everything, the idea of finding a chosen mate came to mind. He even voiced it out; that’s why Eunice was very hopeful. As the constant female lycan he bedded and with the royal financial advisor, Ronaldo, pushing her, she held onto that hope.

Feelings for the prince were profound, and she approached the prospect of becoming his mate and the future queen of the kingdom with genuine seriousness.

“Dad, do you think she was truly my mate?” he inquired. “Matteo!” the king exclaimed, bewildered. “What do you mean by that?”

“I’m sorry, Dad, but her actions differed from others who had found their mates.”

“And what about you? Are you fulfilling your duty as her mate? You even trusted Ronaldo and didn’t bother asking her before confronting her,” King Marco remarked, observing Matteo with a bowed head. “You confirmed it was her, according to you. You told me you found her kissing the future beta and were ready to accept him as her chosen mate. How come you’re doubting your feelings now?”

“I don’t know; I just don’t know,” he replied, feeling helpless.

“Was it about nine years ago?” his dad asked, causing him to widen his eyes. “So it was. Look, I can’t tell you what to do. You’re the only one who can understand your feelings. Bringing Freya here was a good decision; we can’t let her have her chosen mate. But you need to clarify things with her. Discuss it with her and tell her about the mate you found before her. Explain that you’re confused because of that. I’m sure she’ll understand.”

Matteo had planned to talk to her, which was why he brought her back to their bedroom, but she was angry and unwilling to listen.

“Matteo, I won’t be able to hand the kingdom over to you if you don’t get yourself straight. Settle everything with your mate before taking over. You need Freya,” the king warned, and Matteo nodded. He was already aware of that, which is why he wanted to clear things up.

“Dad, my beast isn’t helping me. I feel him happy when we’re with Freya, but when we’re alone, he hides himself from me and won’t talk to me unless he’s going to yell at me.”

“Don’t tell me you still don’t know the name of your beast.”

“I regret to inform you, but yes. He never told me his name or the reason for keeping it from me,” Matteo admitted.

“How did you win all the wars you’ve been through?”

“Well, when it comes to that, I don’t need to ask him. He helped me and allowed me to use his power and strength.”

“Then you need to be marked and mated,” King Marco said. “I had a feeling you had an ancient beast. One of the council members mentioned you’ll be the most powerful king in history. That must be why, even if you’re not getting along well, he still helps you during your fights. He doesn’t want to lose because he’s superior to everyone. Being…”

“As an ancient Lycan, he possessed a fierce nature, and only his mate had the power to calm and soothe him. It was a stern warning-never attempt to court any female Lycan, she-wolf, or woman, for he would unleash destruction upon anyone whose mate rejected them,” he emphasized.

Matteo nodded in agreement. Now, he had to bide his time until the full moon to mark Freya. Although he desired to be closer to her, she resisted his advances. In response, he vowed to heed only her, disregarding others. He was determined to make her his, regardless of the obstacles in his way.”
