Lycan Prince Matteo novel Chapter 14

Matteo

I enjoyed talking to Freya; she's so naïve, and I'm sure that Calvin and the others liked her already. When she walked faster, I decided to let her be and follow her instead. Everyone thought that she was weak, including me. Seeing her fight earlier was unexpected. Even before I found out that she was mine, I was already sure, and even my beast agreed with me.

"Frey," the idiot Alpha's son called her. Just why does everyone call her that, and I can't? No, because I didn't want to call her the way others do. I am her mate, so I had to call her differently. I stopped and saw what the idiot would do to my mate, and so did Calvin. But it was the wrong move. Joric started to say nonsense about Freya being his mate.

What the hell is wrong with him? Then, here comes his father. I know that if he was going to choose, he wouldn't let Freya become the Luna of the pack because he thought she was weak as well. I wanted to laugh at how his son insisted on Freya being his. He couldn't even smell her, and yet he thought that way.

My mate had told Daniel that he was not her mate, but the idiot didn't want to believe it either. He was jealous of Clay and Alec but couldn't do anything about it because he knew that he couldn't take them.

I exerted great effort to maintain control over my beast, as he was enraged that he desired our mate. Just as Daniel and Jack tried to stop him, I did it instead, and I saw Freya walk away.

"You know that you are not her mate, Joric," I said with authority.

"Your Highness," said Daniel. He must have wanted me to shut up and let him deal with his son.

"Shut up, Daniel. The reason your son is acting like this is because you let him do whatever he wanted. You should have trained him to become a better alpha and not some whining mutt."

"You don't understand!" The mutt butted in. "She knows that she's mine. That's why she keeps avoiding me. She may have thought that I was going to reject her because I always bully her, but it was only my way for her to notice me." He added.

"Stop it, Joric. If she had been your mate, she would have jumped at you already. But you see how smug she was toward you. She doesn't like you!" Daniel yelled at him. "You better get yourself straight, or I will do that for you." He added, and now with conviction.

"Jack!" He said, looked at his beta and the warrior with him, and took Joric away.

"No, Dad, I will make sure to get her. I am going to do anything just to get her. I love Freya, and I only want her!" Joric continued shouting as he was pulled away.

"I'm very sorry for the trouble, Your Highness," Daniel said.

"You should look into your son properly if you want him to assume your title," I replied before I continued walking. I had to go to Freya's to make sure that she got home safely.

"Matteo, what do you think was wrong with Joric?" Calvin asked when we stopped in front of Freya's home.

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.
