Lycan Prince Matteo

Freya

“You are my son.” The Lycan rogue said: I looked at Matteo, and I didn’t think that he could still understand everything that this man in front of us was saying. Calvin and James were shocked as well. I mean, all of us were. Just what in the world was happening? I looked at the man again, and I saw nothing but sorrow on his face.

I looked at Camila to check whether she knew anything about this, but by the shocked look on her face as well, I could tell that she had no idea about it. Only Rapha knew this, and he didn’t tell Matteo. He even worked with the king, whom he had a good relationship with. Goddess, King Marco trusted him!

“This is hard for you; I know that,” the man continued. “But believe it or not, I have no intention of harming any of you.”

“What kind of joke are you pulling?” Matteo said angrily. “I am telling the truth,” the man replied.

“What makes you think that we’re going to believe you?” Calvin couldn’t help but ask,

“You would have been dead by now if I had been lying. Do you think that I am going to invite you here just to talk if I want to harm you?” He has a point. No one in their right mind would do something like that. I could feel the rogue’s presence, but I didn’t feel unsafe at all.

“What’s the point of telling us or Matteo this?” I asked.

“To let you know that you are wasting your time trying to catch me when your enemy is right under your nose,” he answered.

“Dad is not our enemy.” “Are you sure about that?”

“You’re the one who captures the pups. I don’t think you have the right to point at someone else,” I said.

“Yes, princess. I don’t deny that,” he replied, and that angered Matteo, so I had to calm him down. “But only to save them from Marco. Your king was the one who started it; he was amassing some forces, and he thought that all those pups who came from the first wolf would join forces with me and take him down,” he added.

“Isn’t that the truth?” Matteo asked. He was a little calmer now.

“At some point, yes. But I am not going to let them go to war at such a young age.” “Why take them?”

“To train them and keep them away from Marco, Once he catches any of them, he will kill them.” The man replied,

“Why would my dad do that?” Matteo asked,

“I am your father and not him!” The Lycan rogue said it angrily. “You are my son with my mate. You don’t know how much it pained me when you called that greedy Marco your father.”

“I grew up calling him that!” my mate replied angrily.

“Does your mother ever address him as your father? Isn’t she always telling you to go to the king, ask the king, or tell the king? She never told you to go to your father, didn’t she?” Matteo didn’t say anything, as if thinking. Then shock was all over his face. Maybe he remembered that his mother never addressed King Marco as his father. “See? She never, because he is not your father!” the rogue said.

“Why would she stay there?” Matteo asked, confused. Even the others who were with us started to think too. Calvin and James had been with him ever since, and surely they had heard the previous queen talking to her mate and talking about her father.

“Because of you! Because she believes that you are the rightful king. Have you ever wondered why Marco needs to wait for your 100th birthday before he transfers the crown to you?”

“It was a tradition; he had his crown on his 100th birthday as well,” he replied.

“It was only a coincidence, but there’s no such thing. You can become king once you’re ready. And I am telling you, you were ready long ago. You can defeat him if you challenge him, and that’s what he was scared about. That’s why he was telling you that bullshit.”

“You’re only telling me this because you wanted the throne yourself.”

“If I want to, I can challenge him. I may have been weak because of my mate’s death or since he marked my mate, but he was too when he rejected his mate. I can defeat him since I know I am stronger than him. I am king.” What he said was true; that’s why I was worried about him being our enemy. No matter where I see it, he was way stronger than King Marco. The firstborn was said to be blessed by the moon goddess.

“Why are you telling me this now?” “So, you can stop Marco.”

“You want me to fight my father?”

“You already feel that he is not your father. Don’t fool yourself, Matteo.”

“He never did anything to me to warrant my anger. He had been a good father to me,” he replied. “They knew that,” he added, and he looked at Calvin and James, who both nodded their heads in agreement.

“Maybe, but the fact that he has no intention of giving you the throne means he doesn’t trust you.” “He is going to give me that once I turn 100, and I will deal with you.”

“You mean when we kill each other? You know that I was supposed to be king, but he took it from me. You are my son and next in line. Who do you think will be king after we kill each other? Who will benefit from everything after both of us are gone? How would your mother feel if you let what Marco wants happen to you?”

“Don’t use my mother to get what you want!” Matteo shouted.

“I will if I have to. You are wasting your mom’s suffering for Marco. She knew she couldn’t win over him, so she decided to stay low and wait. But his real mate killed her and both your fathers,” he replied, looking at Calvin and James.

“What do you mean, his real mate?” Calvin asked angrily. Now he has his and James’ attention.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

“Ronaldo, whom he thought was his mate, was Marco’s. She was the one who cast a spell on my father and your mother for them to think that I was not hers, doubt me, and that I did all the cruel things that were happening in the kingdom.”

“Ronaldo was under the spell that Eunice’s mother was his mate,” James asked,

“Yes. And Eunice is not her daughter either. She only loves Marco and no one else. Both she and the king you knew planned it. So she would be able to stay with him even if he was about to choose her mate as his queen. In the long run, Marco had no plan to continue seeing her; that’s why he rejected her after he became king.”

“And Rapha knows everything?” James asked,

“Yes,” he replied, and I looked at Matteo, and he looked like the earth was on his shoulders. “And he didn’t tell me about it?”

“He was hoping that I could do it myself.”

“And you have known about it for a long time, and you never tried to tell me about it?”

“I only knew about it after Rapha told me about it after your mother died. I thought he was only telling me those things so he could catch me. But I started to do investigations with you. His telling me that you are mine shocked me. I was happy, but I had to make sure, and it turned out it was true. One follows after the other, and from my plan of taking him off the throne, I decided to have you there instead,” he answered. “I saw how much you got stronger, especially after you were marked and mated with your fated mate,” he continued. “You don’t need to believe me now, but I want you to think about it and decide for yourself. Once you decide to believe in me, come back, and let’s talk. I am going to explain to you why I had to do the kidnappings of the pups and why you, princess, smell that scent in the cabins.” My eyes widened, so it was planned
