Third Person
“Baby, I—, I—” Matteo said when they were done lying on their bed, panting. The heat of the moment and desire for each other wore off and he just realized that they had marked each other.
“Stop, Matteo. You know that I did it first,” she replied, and he looked at her.
“It’s Pi, right?” he asked and she nodded,
“I know it was K— I mean, your beast too.” she replied,
Matteo smiled and caressed her face gently, a few strands of her hair that were on her face were now behind her ears after he put them there. “I already know his name,” he said, “He didn’t want me to know before because of, you know, my constant affairs with different women. He’s very loyal and, as punishment, he made me not know his name.” he informed me, “I think Pi wanted us to become one, that’s why she initiated the marking.” he added and she nodded.
“I talked to her and told her not to do anything stupid. But she was very persistent, I guess? She was usually very submissive to my wants. The transformation made her this rebellious,” she replied, chuckling.
“You’re not mad?” he asked,
“I think not. I like it too. I was just hesitant because of the fact that I thought we still needed to know more about what we really wanted. And there is your first mate issue.”
“We already marked each other. I trust King more than anyone in this
world when it comes to marking you. He knows you more than me because he can talk to Pi freely.” he replied, “About my first mate, yes, I still want to know who she was. But I already marked you so there was nothing for you or for me to worry about. She might have been with another Lycan or wolf by now too.” he added.
“I wish that she was happy wherever she was.” Freya said,
“I hope so too,” he replied and smiled at her. They sleep together, looking forward to the next day.
Meanwhile, the king was in his bedroom thinking about Freya. He saw what she looked like when she was still a wolf and, after her transformation, her silver fur became glossy and shimmering. Just like Matteo had said, it was also the first time that he had seen something like that.
He felt them marking each other and felt the entire kingdom
strengthened too. He needed to act now. The sooner the better. Matteo has to become king but he will only turn 100 for a few more weeks. He shouldn’t have rushed it, so he decided to set the beta and the gamma first so everything would be ready when he transferred the throne to
his son.
King Marco was excited as he rested that night, but he kept the thought of someone threatening the royals. He knew he needed to discuss the matter with both Freya and his son, Matteo.
The next morning, King Marco asked Calvin and James in his office along with Rapha. He knew that he could trust the three of them so he would tell them about his plans.
“His highness, you called for us.” Calvin said as he and James entered his office.
“Yes, please, have a seat,” he replied and looked at Rapha who was

seated already. “I called you to discuss something.” he continued as the three looked at each other. “I wanted to make the two of you the official beta and gamma while we waited for Matteo and Freya’s coronation.” he added,
“Why are we rushing things, his highness?” Rapha said, “I have no problem with them with their positions, but usually, the king has to be crowned first before he chooses his beta and gamma.” he added, and Calvin and James agreed in unison.
“I know that, but I had a feeling that something was going to happen. I don’t know if this comes to your minds, but I think there was a threat to Freya if not to the throne,” King Marco said,
“Is that the reason why you let Matteo leave the palace?” Rapha asked,, “Since I am here, hearing everything that you said right now, I can tell that you trusted me, his highness.” he added.
“I do trust you, and I know that, Matteo, too. You are good friends along with these two,” the king replied, pointing to Calvin and James, who had their heads down.
“So, you wanted their ceremonies to be done already and what’s the catch?” Rapha asked,
