Four days passed and I haven't even received a call or a single text from
Matteo.
I kept on looking at my phone screen to see if he's going to text me
anytime soon yet he didn't.3
He's also supposed to talk to me about tonight's plan after his final
homecoming game and also the prom tomorrow.
This was strange, and every time I look at my phone I keep on biting
my lip. I also haven't seen him around lately.
Whenever my dad came home I always wanted to listen in if he's going
to say anything about the Acting Alpha unfortunately nothing comes
up.
I got myself ready for school then sat there on the bed staring at my
phone before groaning and threw it on the other side and lay down on
my back watching the ceiling saying 'he loves me or doesn't love me
game.â
It's getting frustrated I mean I missed him already and Alera is going
insane.
"Addasah, are you going to school todayâ I prop myself up from my
bed to find both my parents at my door.
My father's hand securely around my mom's waist. I look back at my
nightstand clock "yeah, just give me ten minutes"
"We'll wait for you downstairs honey"
once they went out I slump myself back to bed. Thinking of reasons
why Matteo never contacted me again.
Finally getting that strength I push my legs up and grab my school bag
from the table.
"Mom, dad" I kiss them both on their cheeks when I made it downstairs.
My parents drop me off to school and before I could go he stop me
"honey, Cora is coming tonight and I want you to go where she goes.
Your mom and I can't be there tonight"
I know my parents wants me stay with someone at all time. They only
warned me days ago that the prisoner who escape is really dangerous
and is most likely after our family.
They just simply said it is dad's old rival no other further explanation
but I was sure there's more to that story.
"The Alpha is coming back tonight and we're going to be at his son's
private mating ceremony,â my world stops.8
Did I just hear that right, his son's mating âit can't be Matteo right?" I
ask myself âmaybe it's his older brother, I don't know if there's anyone
older than him... An illegitimate child I guessâ
Gosh how I sounded so stupid to myself and now I wanted to cry even
more. Looking up I came to face with my mom who look me through
the rear-view mirror.
Her eyes trying to analyse my reaction but I quickly replaced my
misfortune with a smile.2
"I'll see you then mom, dad" I grab my bag and went out of the car
waving them goodbye. My heart aches a little I still trying to convince
myself that it isn't Matteo my dad was referring to.
"Hey you okay?" I turn to Gia "yeah" I fake a smile trying not show my
bewilderment.
"Cora texted me, she says she couldn't get through you"
yeah I totally forgot about that. I am such a bad friend who focus on
her mate and not even bother to answer my friends texts.
"My phone is kind of broke" I lie hoping my phone won't ring any time
soon.
"Ohh that's sad, anyways Cora is going to be at the game so after here
we go change and go to the game.â
I answer her yes to her "umm Gia did your parents mention anything
about a mating tonight" she grins "Awww you wanna watch one" I roll
my eyes at her thinking once is enough.
"My dad says it's a private mating ceremony with only the high ranks
are allowed. No children, pack members or anybody else," she giggle2
"why do you ask?" I smile "nothing it's just that my parents won't be
home tonight. I overheard them saying something about mating,â
the bell ring and we both made to our different class. I couldn't quite
focus today on school, as my mind was still on the mating and Matteo.
I wanted to confirm if it is him or not. I didn't even know when school
finishes and the teacher ask me to stay behind to help the girls put up
our proms final preparation.
I told Gia to go ahead with Ed and I'll call a taxi after this to the game's.
Hoping these things would finish before 8:00pm as the games start at
that time.
Decorating began an hour later and my nerves is killing me now, I just
couldn't focus on putting anything right in place or Maria and Janice
screaming to everyone that this is wrong and that is right and it went
on like that for another hours.
I look at the clock and saw the time it's 8:00pm and, the game must
have already started.
Sometime afterwards everyone takes a break, I started to walk to a
secluded area at the hall and that's when I hear murmuring.
I was going to turn and walk away when I heard his name mention. I
walk back slowly and stood there listening to their conversations.
They were talking to the phone that was on loudspeaker.
"Oh my gosh, you're kidding me right" I heard one of them exclaim. "So
Addasah is his Mate"
The person says yes and I knew who it was. It belongs to Quinn but
then wonder how she knew were mates. Matteo told me he never told
any of his friends "could he be lying to usâ I link Alera who never
responded.
"I think he was only leading her on and only wanted to use her" she
laugh lightly through the phone and my heart stops and I no longer
can breathe.6
I wanted to deny it but her next words slightly kills me "can you believe
it she thought he loves her but no Matteo told me I own his heart and
were consumating our love tonight. Jay, me, Kevin and some of his
close friends already knows she's his Mate but can't believe she doesn't
know"1
I felt needles piercing through my heart.
Then it start hammered by thors hammer or even the moon goddess if
she has any.
"I'm sorry that you guys can't attend our mating ceremony as it's a
private one" everyone else there began giggling.
I felt my tears on my cheeks I suppress my sobbing and I walk out of
there couldn't even take it anymore.
His true intentions were known now and I wanted not to believe
anything single thing.
Moon goddess how could I be so stupid to think I could have his heart
for only what in a spun of two weeks and days. I was so stupid for
believing him easily and falling in love with him so quickly.
I beat on my chest as I tried to support myself by leaning against the
wall,
'I can't be hereâ I whisper to myself 'I have to confront me, how dare he
lies to meâ
Taking a deep breathe I go back inside the hall to excuse myself. I need
to talk to him, to ask him if everything is true as I still couldn't help but
deny her words.
âMaybe she is lying, it could be her words against his* I keep on
repeating as I walk towards Janice.
I need him to tell me that everything is not true and that he loves me
only.
