Lycan Prince Matteo novel Chapter 32

Freya

It's going to be a full moon later tonight, and Pi told me that we would be transforming into a Lycan. She said that it was going to be very painful, and we would want our mate to be with us if that happened. But what can I do? Matteo had not come back, and even if I wanted to worry about him, what Eunice had told me was repeatedly playing in my head. I think it was more painful than our transformation.

"Princess, Lord Rapha told me that you will not be training today. He needs to attend a very important meeting with the king," Camila said. I was in our bedroom, getting ready. I was actually not in the mood today, and I don't know why that is. I don't feel like doing anything, and even if I am excited about doing the training every day, I guess there always comes a time when I don't feel like doing it or anything at all.

"I see, thank you," I replied and went back to the walk-in closet and thought about whether I should change or not. It was very early in the morning, and I wondered what it was they needed to talk about. Did something happen around the kingdom or with Matteo? I dismissed the latter because I thought that I would be able to know if something really happened to him.

'Relax, Frey. Nothing happened to our mate.' Pi said she was the only one who knew exactly what I was feeling. I cannot hide that from her because we share the same body. I was glad that she understood me and had been trying to ease my worries.

'I hope so, but thinking that no one wanted me to know about what was really going on made me think that I don't really belong here.' I replied,

'That's not true; King wanted us. I'm sure that they were OK; he will let us know if not.' she replied,

'Then, has he talked to you ever since they left?' I asked, 'Are you hiding something from me too?'

'No, of course not. He had not contacted me since they left, and I also had no idea what was going on with him. They were probably really far from the palace and were having a hard time connecting with me. But believe me, King wanted us and really cared about us. If there was something he hid from us, it was the fact that he might harm us,' she answered. I sighed heavily. She had been very calm ever since and would always want to see things in a different light.

'Alright, let's not talk about them. I didn't want to completely ruin everything today." I said, sadly. A few runs would definitely ease all the tension in my body, so I decided to leave my room and totally forget about Camila, who was now following me.

"Princess, where are you going?" I heard her say it from behind.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot about you. I will just run around since training has been canceled." I told her, smiling. I didn't want to worry about her either.

"Then let me follow you."

"No need, Camila. I'm afraid that you won't be able to keep up with me."

"You will only run in your human form, so why won't I be able to keep up with you?"

"I'm quite fast, you know," I replied.

"Still, I should still be able to at least come."

"Oh goddess," 

"Don't worry. We will be able to find our way back to the palace. We are already adults and still in the palace's territory."

"Are we?" she asked worriedly, as she looked around.

"Don't scare yourself. If anything, I wouldn't let anything harm you or me."

"That's comforting, princess," she replied. We didn't bring water or anything to keep us hydrated, and I was worried about her. I didn't think that she would be able to continue to run or walk back to the palace.

"Can you mind linking someone to get us here?" I asked,

"I already did, princess."

"Thank you," I replied, sitting beside her and waiting for whoever she mind linked to come and get us. If it were just me, I'm sure that I would be able to go back in one piece. But I am worried about her. I think she can't afford to take another step. We were both exchanging our stories when we heard the sound of a broken tree branch. We looked behind us and found four rogues. Since when did they start walking around in fours? Why would I think about that when I had to think about how I was going to take Camila with me and run? Surely, they will be able to catch us in no time, and that is not good.
