Third Person
Matteo watched Joric and Clay fight. He admitted that both are strong. They can be each other's beta. Although Clay was already in line, he had the potential to become the Alpha too.
In human form, even if Joric was older, Clay could fight well and match his build. He was well trained and, because he had discipline, Matteo would not be surprised if the future beta managed to win over his future alpha.
"Freya is mine, Clay. She's my mate." Joric said and everyone was surprised and looked at Freya, who had her head down out of shame. She didn't know what was happening to him that he thought that way.
She looked at Matteo, whose eyes were fixed on her as if telling her something she didn't get. "Freya already had her mate and, as far as I know, it wasn't you," Clay replied and looked at her, smiling. Joric saw it and was enraged. He didn't want him smiling like that to the woman he liked.
