When he was about to grab me again, a car sped up to him and then came to a stop one millimetre away.
Henry was scared and fell backwards.
Mateo opened the door for me and said, “I have been waiting for you for a long time. “Get into the car.”
I sat next to Mateo, and we both quietly avoided looking at the embarrassed man on the ground again.
Later, I learnt that Henry and Elena had such a bad reputation that no one would hire them; they were so poor that they stole other people’s food and were apprehended on the spot by their owners.
Other tribes had already spread their reputation, and their fate would be nothing more than wandering werewolves who were always hungry. They were going to be expelled this time.
But this has nothing to do with me; Mateo took me to the Icefen tribe, and his parents wanted to meet me privately.
I felt a little restrained because I had heard that the Icefen tribe was an ancient tribe with a lot of unspoken etiquette, and I was afraid I would offend them without realising it.
Mateo understood my feelings and gently held my hand, conveying a reassuring warmth to me.
This meeting was surprisingly easy.
His mother was delighted with me and drew me to sit beside her. The old alpha drank a few glasses of wine and asked Mateo when he intended to inherit the tribe, given that he already had a perfect luna.
I was blushing, and Mateo immediately took me to his room, where there were many portraits of the same person on the walls.
Mateo touched my face and said helplessly, “You didn’t drink tonight, so why are you drunk?”
I reacted, and it turned out that the portraits on the wall were entirely of me!
In the most recent portrait, I wore a wedding gown and exchanged rings with him.
I still couldn’t believe it: were these really me? I looked so happy in the painting.
“Did you paint all of these?””
Mateo nodded, “Every time I see you, I can’t help but pick up the brush to depict your beauty.” Did he love me that much?!
Later, my father told me that Mateo had asked him to be a lobbyist several times prior to the wedding.
This seemingly coincidental wedding was a miracle that he had worked so hard to achieve.
