Chapter 70 (b)
We continue traveling until we reach the border of the neutral territory and the private property. A rogue welcome us and leads the way to the mansion. He was indeed wealthy. It was bigger than a pack house and had a lot of things. According to the map, the entire property is as big as a regular pack. But being actually here, I think it was bigger.
A man was standing by the front door of the mansion. He was looking at us, but I don’t think he was planning on killing us. His face was very welcoming, and I felt like something hit me. Why do I never feel threatened? I looked around and saw no one, but I could feel and smell the rogues everywhere.
“Welcome to my humble abode,” he said after we stood face to face with each other, smiling. His heartbeat was normal, and his aura felt warm. I wonder why?
“You asked to meet me, I don’t know what you told him and until now, I couldn’t believe that you made him agree to this.”
“Don’t forget that I made you agree too.” he replied as he led us inside the mansion until we reached the living room. He mentioned us taking our seats and looking at my mate.
“Keep your eyes to yourself.” I warned him and he chuckled.
“Are you jealous?” he asked,
“We didn’t come here to tell you that, just get to the point. Why are we here?” I asked and he laughed. We looked at each other and maybe they were thinking the same way as I do. He doesn’t look like an enemy to me.
“You are exactly just like your mother.” he commented, which angered
- me.
“You have no right to say that. You don’t know her.” I said, growling, but Freya calmed me.
“It’s fine princess. Let him be.” he told my mate. He was respectful to my mate! “I know your mother more than Marco or anyone. I know her because she’s my mate.”
“You’re lying. Liking her doesn’t mean that she has to like you too. We have mates and we have to respect that. You have no right to claim someone else’s mates.”
“I am not claiming to be anyone’s mate. I only have one mate and that is your mother, whom Marco took from me,” he said in a low and calm
voice.
“You would have been on a rampage if dad really did that.”
“Yes, I did. But not anymore. I had to move on, but it doesn’t mean I have forgotten everything about her,” he replied, and I saw pain and a bit of regret in his eyes. I started to get confused. Why are we talking about my mother anyway?
“How did you manage to make Rapha agree to this?” I asked impatiently. I want an answer and I want it now.
“He came to me about 8 years ago,” he said, and that made my eyes widen. How could he come to this man? He knew who he was and yet- “Before you jump to a conclusion, let me tell you a story,” he said, and started telling us about his life. We are all quiet, listening to
him.
For me it was unbelievable. I know my dad; he is a great man for me and here he was literally telling me how much of an evil Lycan he was. I couldn’t believe it. Calvin and James were growling from time to time in disagreement, but we saw how much pain he was in as he told us about what had happened. Especially on the part when my dad and mom were intimate. If he was really mom’s mate, he must be in so much pain. I looked at my mate because, more than any of us, she suffered because of my infidelity.
She had her head down and I already felt that my uncle had already got her. “I cannot do anything about that. That was your issue you need to settle. But still, that doesn’t give you the right to fight the palace.” I said, then he chuckled before he continued.
I cannot believe that my father did all that to him. After he told us about what my dad did and so did Ronaldo and his mate, I still couldn’t believe it. I don’t even know if I am going to believe it or what to believe anymore. “I know this is too much to take in one go, but I want to say this to you now. Matteo, you are mine,” he said. I looked at him with wide eyes, maybe I am not the only one. Maybe all of us who were there. “You are my son. You can ask Rapha about it, your mother tells that to him, and she made sure to let me know about it as well. It
was the same reason why Rapha looked for me.” he added, and then I
didn’t seem to hear anything he said.
