Matteo
I was going crazy. I even asked dad to ask Freya for a meal again. Eunice and Ronaldo will not be there and, after what dad had told them before, I don’t think that they would still like to eat with us
anymore. any
“His highness,” I heard my mate greet. I looked at her and, just like before, she didn’t even look at me. I don’t know how long I will ever make her forgive me, but I already promised myself that I would be going to extend my patience for her.
“Hello, dear. Come and have a seat.” Dad said and she did as he said. It’s just that, she was seated opposite mine and dad looked at me, sighing. “I guess my son is not doing his best to win you, huh?” he asked, and my mate chuckled.
“It’s nothing like that, his highness. As you already know, we are mates, so naturally, he has already got me,” she replied, and I sighed in relief. At least she knew that and was not trying to deny it.

“So, why are you two still in the cold war?” Dad asked again, amused.
“It;s nothing like that either, his highness.” she replied, “I was just not in the mood to talk to him.” she added, and my father laughed, which annoyed me.
“I’m sorry son, I was just amazed at how Freya answered my questions. She’s really something. I bet she’s very smart as well.”
“Don’t state the obvious, dad.” I replied, and started eating. I wanted to place some food on my mate’s plate but it was impossible when we were sitting opposite each other at a wide table.
“My dear, whatever you have for my son, please let me apologize on his behalf. He is such an idiot most of the time, so I want you to understand him as well.”
“I can see that, his highness. But you don’t have to apologize for him, you don’t need to worry about us and let us settle whatever disagreement we have. We’re grown ups and capable of discerning the problems we have with each other,” she replied with her head down. She must have been trying to control herself in front of the king because she was glaring at me when I looked at her.
“If that’s what you wanted, dear,” Dad replied, smiling. “I invited you

to have a meal with me because I wanted to know about your training. How did it go?”
“Everything’s good, Rapha is very capable and we started at the basics and I look forward to more training days with him.” she replied,
“I am happy to hear that. Don’t think that I am belittling you when I agree with Ronaldo about your training. He has a point and I wanted you to learn to protect and defend yourself too. You are the future queen and, as you already knew, many would want to be in your position.” he told her and she nodded her head. She already knew that and I was sure that the reason for her agreeing with the training was the same as dads.
“Even if Matteo and I have a disagreement or misunderstanding right now, I am still his mate and will definitely fight for it. Unless he wants me out of his life, rest assured that I am going to protect what is rightfully mine.”
“Very well, I think I can trust you two to settle everything at your end. Make sure that once I transfer my title to your mate, you’re going to help him fulfill our duties to every species. That is why we are here, to protect those who need it and to maintain balance in both supernaturals and humans.”
“Yes, his highness,” she replied, and I smiled internally. She had no plan on leaving me and it was enough for me. I just need to show my sincerity so she will forgive me. For the meantime, I am going to forget
about the mate that I smelled from before and focus on her. I had to since I found her with my eyes, which was more accurate than when I smelled her.
When we locked eyes, we saw each other’s souls and that tells me that she’s mine and the same goes for her. We continued cating even if it was only her and dad who were having a conversation the whole time. It was enough for me to hear her laugh every time dad made jokes.
