Lycan Prince Matteo novel Chapter 58

Freya

This is going to be difficult. I never thought the royals would have had this kind of dispute for decades. How would we defeat Matteo’s uncle when he was supposed to be king? Even if he loses to the current king, it doesn’t mean that all that happened in the past I also know that the king will never tell me more than what he has told us. I hope that it was all right, though. But I understand his anger at King Marco. We can’t deny the fact that he is the firstborn and has the qualities in terms of strength and power necessary to be a king. We have to think and discern what he needs with the pups if he is really behind the kidnappings.

Who wouldn't be furious since his throne has been taken away from him? Even though the king fought for it fairly, it was still enough reason for him to feel angry. I’m pretty sure that he was told he was going to be king when he was a pup. And that will drive everyone to do something beyond what is right.

Matteo was worried as well, and I knew that he had a lot of things on his mind and his plate. He was probably thinking about the person my parents and I met when we visited the palace, and I felt so stupid that I couldn’t identify who he or she was. I had a feeling that once I saw him or her, I would remember. But I had been in the palace for months, and none of the palace people were familiar to me. I have to remember, but because of these occurrences, I couldn’t concentrate.

“Baby,” my mate called my attention. We are in the bedroom that Alpha Jake lent us. One thing about Matteo is that he is not the kind of royal who would demand extravagant things from his people. He was always down-to-earth and very humble. He grew up being taught that he had to serve the supernatural creatures and maintain balance in the world. “You’re overthinking again,” he said, and I smiled at him.

“I was worried. You know, about everything." I replied as he sat down beside me. There was a two-seater couch in the bedroom, and it was comfortable talking and not sitting on the bed since we might only end up making love.

"Please do not worry. The moon goddess will lead us to the solution to our problem. She didn’t want her children to be miserable," he said.

“But we still need to do something about it. We can’t just sit down and wait."

“Baby, I know that. I am not sure what I should do after finding out about my uncle. He is my relative, no matter what. Fighting him is not something royals should do.”

“It’s challenging for you, but it was more for your father, King Marco. He was his brother, and I know that he was broken thinking about how his family had to fight."

“Alpha Jake asked me whether I had any idea who it might be. Of course, I didn’t tell him anything, since we still didn’t know whether it was my uncle. Even if it was from my dad, I still needed to make sure that it was accurate.”

“Yes, and I just hope that we find out soon. Innocent pups and pack members were being affected by it."

“We will soon," he replied. “Anyway, Calvin is on the pack training ground. Let’s go and give him a hand.” And I got up and followed him out of the bedroom.

Our beta was with Alpha Jake when we arrived at the training ground. I noticed that the Crimson Pack had many warriors and fighters. “Your Highness,” the alpha greeted us, and we nodded our heads in acknowledgment. "10 warriors from the Eclipse Pack have already arrived, so they can join in the training," he told us.

“Are they the team for the investigation?” Matteo asked.

“Yes, Your Highness. I know them personally since we do regular training every week,” he answered.

“Calvin, what do you think?” My mate asked.

“They are all ready. It will be easier to train them since they have previous collaborations with each other,” he replied.

“I admire this region for being cooperative with each other. In this situation, it's not bad to rely on a neighboring pack since the palace can't get there and back you up immediately since we have to consider travel time. Having each other's backs will save pack members in need,” Matteo said. “How come the palace didn’t hear about this?” he asked curiously. That’s what I thought, too. They should have informed the palace since this is for security purposes.

Since it has happened previously to me and my parents, it isn't far from the truth. I looked at Matteo and found him in deep thought as well. I know that he is starting to think of anyone who could do this in the palace.

“Your Highness, I am not making any suspicion, but I couldn’t help but think that there was someone in the palace who prevented us from seeking help in the palace. This is if you really didn’t know about the email notice."

“I am not going to hide it from you, but that is exactly what I’m thinking right now. I’m afraid that we have to be careful when sending information to the palace until we find the traitor.” He replied. We couldn’t hide it anymore, and we are thankful we found out this time. This incident changed our beliefs and enabled us to make appropriate preparations and plans, given the fact that we thought there was only one traitor.

“I think Freya and I need to head back to the palace. I am going to leave Beta Calvin here to continue training and guiding the team in the kidnapping incident. While we are there, I am forming a technical team that will monitor the emails and report directly to me all your concerns for a faster response.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” Alpha Jake replied.

“I expect you to report everything regarding the security of every pack around yours to Beta Calvin. He is going to do a very good job; I’m sure of it," he said, and I saw his eyes dilated. He must have sent a message to Calvin through the mind link, informing him of our plans. Then we prepared to leave and took two warriors with us. Calvin wouldn’t let us if we didn’t do it, so we just agreed so he could feel at ease.

Back in the palace, King Marco was very worried when we arrived. “What happened, Dad?” Matteo asked.

“Camilla has been kidnapped!” he said.

"What?" I exclaimed.
