“His highness,” Freya’s parents said in unison. They bowed their heads before they offered me and Calvin a seat. “I will go get her,” Rica, her mom said. I nodded and waited for her to come down. Why does she need to be called? Didn’t she smell my scent? I don’t know, but is she really like that? Do I mean nothing to her? I feel like I was the only one who was excited about us being together.
Lucas, her father, was just sitting in front of me not saying anything. I don’t know if he likes me being his daughter’s mate or what. Any parent would want me for their daughter, so what’s the difference with them, right? I sighed and gained my courage and said, “We will be going back to the palace in two days. I understand that Freya had told you about us, right?” he nodded and didn’t say anything. Then we heard footsteps coming down. I looked into the stairs and found my mate looking at me as she walked down the stairs with her mom.
Freya sat beside her father and her mom next to her. I wanted her to sit beside me but I had to just let it slide, because I had a feeling that she would never do that. This is really difficult. I don’t know how I am going to talk to my own mate.
“His highness said that they’re going back to the palace in two days,” Lucas said, looking at her, then she looked at me again. “You know what that means, right?” he added and she nodded. Thank goddess that she knows that.
“But I don’t want to, yet.” she said after, and I couldn’t help but growl. Calvin held me as if warning me not to act irrationally. But whose mate will ever want to leave their mates behind and live separately? “I

said, just yet. I am coming with you, but not now.” she added.
“I didn’t like that,” I said with a stoic face. She already knew that she had me in the palm of her hand, so I had to stand up for what I wanted.
“Just not this time, Matteo,” she said again.
“You know that’s not going to happen, Freya.” I replied, letting her know that no matter what she says, I am not going to leave without
her.
“The school is about to end so I wanted to finish that before I go with you,” she explained. I understand her, believe me. But I am a Lycan and there’s no way that my beast is going to agree to that.
“Does your wolf want that?” I asked,
“I have already talked to her and she said that she was willing to wait,” she answered,
“And you?”
“Of course, that’s why I am telling you this. I am going to follow you there right after school ends.”
“Don’t you get it, Freya? My beast will never let that happen. He wanted you to come with us.” I told her and she just stared at me and didn’t say anything. Then I saw her eyes dilated, she was now talking to her wolf. I just hope that she will not agree to it.
“I really need to stay for a bit and finish this school year,” she said after a long silence and I hated it. She’s stubborn and I don’t know what I am going to do to her. She is the type to do whatever she wants and I already feel sorry for her parents, thinking about how much headache they had to suffer because of worry for her.
“You must have not got it, mate. I want you to come with me and I am

not asking for your permission.”
“You can’t let me do what you wanted, Matteo. What about my studies? How am I going to continue what I had left here?” She asked continuously. Am I being selfish now? Most of the werewolves I see who meet their mates, they just mark and mate with each other. No more conditions or whatever. I myself was expecting my mate to jump at me as soon as she found out that I am hers, but my reality is way too far from my expectations.
Freya didn’t jump at me, she hid to herself that she’s mine and I am hers, she kissed another man even if she had already found her mate and most of all, even if she found out that she was mated to a Lycan prince and soon to be king, she was willing to let that go and have a future beta for a chosen mate. Just why the hell was she like that?
