Lycan Prince Matteo novel Chapter 1

Freya

"Oops, sorry." Britney, the pack and school sl**, said mockingly after she intentionally hit me when she passed by behind me as I was getting my school things from my locker. I looked at her after I was done controlling my anger and was thankful that my wolf agreed not to lose our cool.

I looked down and tried to pass her but she didn't let me. Instead, she tripped me and when I fell down, she laughed along with the others.

'Keep your cool, Frey.' My wolf reminded me as she tried to calm me. I closed my eyes and heaved a deep breath before I got up. I don't know why Pi, my wolf, was calmer than me. Normally, our wolves were the ones who lose their cool immediately and would act irrationally and it was really strange that my wolf was very sensible, totally my opposite.

"Oh, I'm so sorry again." Britney said, laughing along with her minions. I get up and walk away from them because I know that they are not going to stop as long as they see me.

Just as I made a turn for my next class, I accidentally bumped into a hard chest and regretted it when I looked up to see who owns it. Joric, the next or rather, future Alpha, was smirking at me.

He is another bully just like Britney, who thinks highly of himself just because he is the next alpha. Strength wise, he is nothing compared to his future beta and gamma. The only thing that made him qualified to become an alpha is the fact that he is the son of the current one.

"How can I be so lucky to finally find you!" he exclaimed animatedly. He was with his minions too and I was glad that his future beta and gamma was nowhere near him. They were both responsible. That may be the reason why they weren't friends at all.

"I am going to my next class." I told him with my head down. He likes it when I, or anyone in the pack does that. He feels superior that way and boosts his ego.

"You don't have to do that, I can tell your teacher to pass you if you give me a bl** job," he said, and looked at his minions who were now laughing with him. I would rather fail than do that to him. But I couldn't tell him that, so I just told him,

"I didn't want to get on Britney's bad side, she had given me enough hard times already." I told him. I know that they weren't mates but Britney was still all over him and wanted him for herself.

"You're here," Clay said, when Joric was about to reply. "I have been looking for you, let's go." he said, and took my hand. We both look at the future alpha before we turn our backs on them and find him glaring at Clay. Joric couldn't do anything about Clay because he knew that he couldn't beat his future beta.

We walked away and I sighed in relief, thankful that Clay came just in time. "You really have had good luck from crossing the path with the jerk and the wh***." Clay said, chuckling.

"Yeah, I already know that. I don't know if I have this scent that made them go wherever I was." I replied,

"I also want to believe that they are the only ones who can smell your scent, which was absent from our noses." he added, and we both laughed.

Clay is a friend to me and I hope that he is my mate. And of course he's not, because I already found mine and I didn't want to think about him. Back to the future beta who was walking with me now, he is only 17 but thinks like an adult and was focused on the pack's and members' well-being along with the future gamma, Alec.

"I'm sorry, I just remembered something." I replied with my head back down.

"What do you remember that aroused your anger? I can feel it, it was as though you wanted to kill someone." my mate said,

"She sometimes feels that way whenever she remembers her bullies. She doesn't have her wolf yet, so everyone was looking down at her." Clay answered for me.

"Pathetic," the female lycan said, which made me clench my teeth, but Pi soothed me in my mind.

"Eunice!!" the lycan prince yelled, which made everyone bare their necks at him, but not me. I just hope no one noticed that as I still had my head down. "She's in the pack and deserves treatment just like anyone else," he said. I feel happy that he is not like the others, but the fact that that female lycan was caressing his arms infuriated me.

"We will go to our class now, his highness." Clay said, and he pulled me away after he granted us his permission.

"Thank you, Clay." I told him and rested my head on his chest. I was feeling nervous and angry at the same time. My mate's presence has made me uneasy ever since I found out that he is mine.
