Chapter 56
Dad and I talked in his office while Freya was with Calvin and her friends. I’m sure that they wanted to be together now that they were done with their training. Giving my mate time for her friends made me jealous, especially when it was about Clay. But no one can blame me since I caught them kissing. Well, it may have been before we were together. However, the fact that she was aware that she was mine and still thought of having a chosen mate made me feel this way. But I wanted her to be happy, and I knew that being with her family and friends would do the trick, so I had to be understanding. Plus, I already knew she loved me.
Dad and I agreed to organize an event for the entire kingdom where everyone must attend. We wanted Freya to meet everyone in the palace. We wanted to see if she could remember the person who entertained her and her parents when they visited nine years ago. I would like to know who it was so I can punish him. They prevented me from seeing my mate. What if I never ventured into the Midnight Pack? How would I know that Freya is mine? Especially when she has no scent.
I proceeded to my mini library after that to check if everything was ready for transfer. I wanted to renovate it so Freya and I could use it comfortably. She likes to read too, and I would like her to continue her studies, and that’s where her class will take place. She didn’t want to come back with me in the midnight pack for a valid reason. Having promised to let her finish school, I had to keep my promise. It’s because she’s smart that I feel so proud of her.
I was checking the shelves when I smelled a familiar scent, and when I turned, Eunice was already there. “I miss you so much, Matteo,” she said. I feel sorry and guilty for her. If I hadn’t entertained her, she wouldn’t act like that. To prevent a negative impression of our relationship from her, I should not have tolerated her for her misdeeds.
“I already told you to call me by my title, Eunice,” I replied. “Let’s talk, please,” she said.
“There’s nothing to discuss. Things are clear between us; don’t make it difficult for yourself,” I replied. Freya will get mad at me if she finds out that I am talking to her. As much as possible, I didn’t want her to think that I was still seeing other women. She’s so insecure since she was hurt
before, even though it wasn’t intentional. “Leave now; I still need to check on some things,” I replied, and I was about to turn my back on her when the door opened. I was shocked, and, for a moment, I didn’t know what to do when I saw Freya.
She’s pissed and angry. I could see that. She was about to jump at Eunice, but I had to stop her since she’s the Luna of the palace and a princess. I didn’t want her to do something that tarnished her reputation, and I was glad she listened and calmed herself down.
Eunice talking back to her was irritating, and then she told me about rejecting her mate, which I didn’t ask her to do. It was true to what I said about being happy for her. My destined mate gives me so much happiness. I would love to have her experience that in her privilege as his prince, for the sake of old times. Since she didn’t want to stop, and I think Freya had thought of a solution for us not to be troubled by her anymore, I decided to banish her. It will be difficult, but if it makes my relationship with Freya peaceful, I will have to do it.
Eunice got mad, and it was a good thing that I had already mind-linked Calvin so he could take her away. I’m sure he swears by me in his mind since he constantly reminds me of her. He asked me several times not to get intimate with her, but I didn’t listen to him, and now I had to trouble him. “You had better compensate me for this,” he mind-linked me as he pulled Eunice away.
‘Will do, my friend.’ I replied before Freya and I headed to my dad’s office. She was still not talking to me, and I felt scared. I know how she is when angry, and I prepared myself for that.
“We just talked; why are you back?” Dad asked as we entered his office. “How are you, dear? Why the long face?” she asked Freya this time.
My mate glared at me before answering, “Someone rekindled their old flame.” Dad looked at me, asking for an explanation.
“It’s nothing like that,” I said, and I told them what had happened.
“He just left here, and I am not saying this because he is my son, but because it’s the truth.” Freya sat quietly and glanced at him.
“Your Highness, I can see Eunice as a threat to our relationship. I am not the type to be overly jealous, but no matter how much I trust Matteo, I couldn’t find it in my heart to trust her,” she admitted. “I didn’t want to always be on my guard when it comes to my mate, and I can’t help but feel that way.”
“What do you suggest I do?” Dad asked.
“I told her I would banish her,” I said. “But I know it is not my call. I needed your permission to do that,” I added.
“Banishing her will be a very hard decision because we all know that she’s the daughter of one of our royal advisors,” he replied. “But I am going to look at this closer and talk to Ronaldo and give them an ultimatum to make sure that she’s not going to make any more unnecessary claims or actions.”
“I appreciate that, Your Highness.”
“I didn’t want you two to have such a problem. I can’t continue to blame Matteo for this because I know it will not solve the problem.” Dad said, “But promise me this, dear.” He added and looked intently at my mate. “Don’t let your emotions cloud your judgment. Remember that our enemy wants you and Matteo to separate. Don’t give him that happiness.”
“I understand, Your Highness,” she replied, and I sighed in relief.
“I love you, baby; please believe that,” I said to assure her, and I hope it was enough. We left Dad’s office and headed back to our bedroom. Later, an omega called us for dinner. We ate in our bedroom since she was not in the mood to go out, maybe because of the incident earlier.
“I’m sorry if I doubt you again,” she said. I sighed, and even if I wanted to get mad at her because of that, I understood her, thinking she had a reason for it. Eunice doesn’t want to give up, and I hope that after Dad talks to her and her dad, she will come to her senses and move on.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
“You have nothing to be sorry about. But I want you to know that you are the only woman for me and no one else. King will never agree with me if I ever look for another, since he was doing that before I found you.”
“Yeah, Pi too. She doesn’t like anyone but you and King,” she replied. We ended the night knowing we would talk first before jumping to any conclusions. I asked her to confront me and be rational, just in case someone plotted something to separate us.
It had been a week since that day, and we were together all the time. I showed her the new library design and its purpose. She was very happy and thankful, and I could see it. She looked excited and looked forward to the continuation of her college career. Tomorrow the renovation will start, and I hope that after our pack visit to the Crimson Pack, everything is done and ready for her. We are ready to leave with Calvin and other warriors since we have to investigate a series of kidnappings. Does my uncle have anything to do with it?
