How could Mateo love me? We are only in a contractual relationship.
I didn’t take my grandmother’s words seriously and quickly revealed the mark on my neck to her.
“Grandma, don’t worry, he has marked me, and we will hold the wedding soon. He will announce in public that I am his mate, and you will definitely catch up.”
Grandma gave a sly smile as she examined the mark on my neck.
“Well, your mate is very powerful, and the smell is a bit familiar. He is the eldest son of the alpha of the Icefen tribe next door, right? Don’t try to hide it from me.”
I covered my face shyly. How did I think my grandmother wouldn’t recognise Mateo? She was once a formidable warrior, and no one smells like her!
My secret was exposed. I glared at my grandmother coquettishly before leaving the ward with her teasing expression.
Mateo was waiting for me outside, but he appeared to be in an argument with someone.
As I approached, I realised Mateo’s argument was about Henry and Elena.
What happened? I frowned and wanted to ask, but I overheard Henry say something that broke my heart!
“If my girlfriend did something wrong, I apologise to you on her behalf. But you are such a powerful adult male wolf, can’t you let her go? She will be scared of you!”
What exactly does this mean? In Henry’s heart, Elena is his girlfriend?
Then what am I? A plaything to alleviate his loneliness when Elena is not present?
Mateo’s voice rang out mercilessly. “If you do something wrong, you must admit your punishment. Does she have the right to do whatever bad things she does without taking responsibility? What is the meaning of tribal laws? What you said is too ridiculous.”
Henry and Elena were left speechless.
They always asked me to give up my interests to care for Elena, but others would not spoil her.
Henry looked around, as if looking for a way to avoid Mateo.
He saw me right now. He gave me a guilty and uneasy look, as if he wasn’t sure I heard what he was saying.
But Henry quickly suppressed his emotions and dashed over to grab me, as if nothing had occurred.
“Ivy, you came at the right time. Elena accidentally spilt the potion on this man’s clothes just now, but he is saying that she destroyed the amulet on his clothes and is now asking us to pay hundreds of thousands! Isn’t he blackmailing us?”
“Your father is an alpha, and the law enforcement team will definitely listen to your orders. Please help call the law enforcement team over and sentence this man to extortion!”
Elena kept nodding beside her, not feeling any guilt.
“Just those few broken lines, and he dared to ask for hundreds of thousands? Not only should he be sued for extortion, but he should also be asked to compensate me for mental damages!”
Mateo did not appear to be in a hurry. He raised his brow and smiled as he asked:. “Are they your friends?”
Mateo’s smile was fascinating, but I didn’t have time to enjoy it. I immediately distanced myself from Henry. “No more.
“I see. If it were your friend, I would not pursue it. But since it isn’t…
Henry’s face was puzzled; he couldn’t understand why I responded in this manner.
But I didn’t care what he thought, and I didn’t want to deal with the problems Elena was causing anymore.
