My broken mate

Business trip

Hellooo💕 Yup judging by the top photo this is going to be an...interesting chapter. I don't really have much to say except I have another idea for a Prucan fanfic so would you read it? Just let me know if you would read it since I really want to start with that. Anyway this is an idea inspired by one of my best friends hybnodicwriter who helps me and supports my book so please go follow her since she is amazing. I hope you enjoy this💕😂

⚠️Scenes of slight nudity (it's a surprise I'm not spoiling for you). Feels...a lot of feels... In no way advertising alcohol, simply just using it. This chapter doesn't have a lot of triggering moments since this is a fun little chapter⚠️

Matthew's POV

"Oh yeah, Gilbert remember we're going to the Coldlily pack for a meeting tomorrow..."

Both Gilbert and I looked at Ludwig surprised though I'm sure I look more surprised. "What?! You have to be kidding me!" Gilbert for the first time shouted though I didn't flinch since I knew how much he hated the alpha. I only softly held his hand to show comfort. "What about Birdie?" Gilbert asked as everyone bit their lips. I've been told staying away from your mate is painful at first. "Antonio and I will take care of him till you're back," Lovino smiled as Antonio nodded enthusiastically.

"Why does Gilbert need to go to that pack?" I ask trying to make it sound like an average question. "After some alpha training one of the last tests is seeing if you can use the training in action so Gilbert will make a deal with the alpha of the Coldlily pack to show his skills. I thought that this alpha might be the best for Gilbert so he knows how to deal with these situations even if you hate the alpha," Ludwig simply explained as I suck in a breath holding Gilbert's hand softly. A deal...What if he says no and Arthur is forced to... Oh no...

"But still what about Matthew. His old alpha still thinks he's dead and if he sees me so happy or if he hears Matthew while I call him, aka the best way to keep your mate happy, he could possibly know Matthew isn't dead yet," Gilbert pointed out smoothing my hand with his thumbs. I bite my lip about what he said as I move closer to him. "Wow Gilbert, no need to use your mate as an excuse for not going to the bastard," Lovino raised his eyebrow glaring at him. I can see he was skeptical and agreed with Gilbert but he disliked the fact Gilbert was using it as an excuse.

"Don't use my words against me and Birdie please forgive me if it did sound like I was using your past as an excuse," Gilbert softly kissed my hand as I smiled and nuzzled into him. "No I know why you are stressing and thank you for it. But like I said before I don't want to hold you back so you can go. If I feel lonely I'll text you and we can talk," I smiled at him trying to relax my nerves by holding his hand and smelling his scent. He smiled and kissed my forehead still holding me close.

"The alpha isn't that bad..." Feliciano tried to reassure Gilbert but it seems even he was very much doubting his own words. "Not that bad? He literally used to stalk Francis all over the place. Sure Francis thought it was harmless but still... Gives me the creeps," Gilbert shivered at the thought, though it was clearly more in disgust than in any other manner. The rest seemed to have the same opinion about him, though I for a fact know him the best... And I'm scared for my mate's safety...

"He even wanted to steal the throne from us since we didn't use it," Gilbert shuddered probably thinking of how he'd be living under his rule. "Gilbert you know he can't do that unless he marries Francis, you or the heir to the throne," Ludwig corrected his brother as Gilbert pouted. "Francis and the heir has been dead for years," Gilbert reminded hugging me at this point. "Neither the heir or Francis has been found. If the alpha finds the heir first and marries them then the kingdom is theirs," Ludwig repeated as Gilbert pouted. It's clear Gilbert doesn't want him to take the throne, scared of the King he'll most likely become...
