Pain And Promises

Matteo's POV

"What the hell are you doing here?" she snarl at me.

I know she hated me right now but I have to make things right this

instant.

Yes I have been hiding from my father and last week I have been in hell

and thought of truly giving myself to Addasah.

The past weeks made me re thinks about a lot of things especially my

decisions. It even makes me realise that I am falling for her too and I

want this to work between us.

I miss her and I damn well regret what I did.

I couldn't sleep for eight days thinking about Addasah and me.2

Aaron has been helping me out a lot he has been giving me advice

about the essence of having your true mate besides you. He even

scolded me for doing that to her, the granddaughter of nana Gloria

who has been helping us out a lot.

So Jay never calls me not until today and told me that he heard

Addasah is leaving so without even care of my father I came here.

I didn't care at all I just want to see her and tell her what I really feel. I

sigh taking a step towards her

"Addasah”

"don't you dare say my name" she snarls at me.

"I know what I did is un-" I didn't get to finish as the next thing I know

she SLAPS me really hard.1

"I deserve that" I say while trying to reach for her but she pushes away

my hand and slaps me on the other cheek.

"How dare you show your face to me now" slaps, then she began to hit

me everywhere and I stood there not doing anything.

I know she hates me and that is why she is doing this. She pushes me

then began to scratch and claw at my skin but I did not care.

It hurts, Thunder now was growling mad for what she's doing but I shut

him off completely. I just want her to hear me out and Thunder won't

destroy this opportunity for us.

Blood began to oozes out of my skin.

"Addasah” I force her to stop before I took her hands laying it upon my

heart.

I felt her claws digging in my skin, as it reached for my heart. I wince a

little but I pretend not to be phase by it. At this point I don't care

whether she kills me or not because I deserve it.2

Her hand slowly made it's way into my skin. She's reaching for my

heart, my breath hitch still I try my best to remain emotionless.

Thunder was trying so hard to break down my walls but I knew that if I

let him out he's going to punished and mark her right here.

Her palms now reaches my heart, her hands touches it and I felt it beat

slowly. Here I was going to die by her hands. If I didn't have any Alpha

blood I'm sure I won't be able to live any longer.

My breath slow down I smile looking at her as her eyes were focus on

her hand as it disappeared in my skin.

My body was weak but I reach out for her just this one last time. I

caress her cheek feeling those sparks again.

Closing my eyes about to fall down and die Addasah pull back her

hands then fell down on her knees crying.

She looks at the blood in her hands while sobbing.

I drop down on my knees before her feeling weak. If I was a human I

would be dead by then, there's a hole on my left chest I probably need

stitches but I know only my mate can heal this open wound but I'm not

going to beg to be save.

I felt her hands around my shoulder embracing me. Then she put her

head to the open cut and slowly my skin began to heal back together.

She was sobbing in my chest uncontrollably. My tears now wet her hair.

I pull her back once I had my strength back. Wiping off her tears I

caress her cheek gently.

"Addasah, I'm sorry" I cry

"I am so sorry and it's okay if you don't trust, forgive or believe me right

now."

I cup her face in my hands "look at me Addasah” she close her eyes

tightly refusing to look at me.

"Addasah please” I beg her and waited until she finally open up those

beautiful sapphire eyes of hers.

"I know you're leaving for uni and you may not believe this but please I

want to promise you something”

I move closer to her our face inches from one another letting her hand

falls on my beaten heart

"I promise you under the moon goddess witness that I Matteo Evan

Reed will wait for you. I promise when you come back I'll be the better

mate for you. I'll make you my luna and try my hardest to be the best

man you wanted and deserve to have."5

This time my forehead is against hers and I nuzzle my nose against

hers. I pull out a ring from my pocket, it's one of my grandma's ring

and I wanted to give it to her as a symbol of my promise and a token of

my heart.

"I'm sorry for everything and I promise to be that mate and man for

you" she sobs out loud.

"Addasah, this is my promise ring it belongs to my grandma and I

promise with this ring on my grandmother's soul and my for fathers

grave that I would standby my words I vow to you before"4

She keeps on sobbing trying to pull away but I pull her to my chest

hugging her tightly never even want to let go or this moment to be a

dream.

Sometime afterwards I carry her back to her room, then went

downstairs to clean my blood on the floor.

I came back and found her already shower and on bed. I made her lie

down then pull a duvet over her.

I was to leave when she held back my hand "please sleep with me" and

she pulls me down beside her.

I watches her until she fell asleep and I made my way out there afraid

my father caught me.

Unfortunately, I came out of her house only to be surrounded by the

Beta and my father's warrior.

"Seize him" I bare out my fang challenging them not to move any

closer.

I was to jump attacking them but something stings my neck and I'm

out as a feather.

I woke up again with a head ache, I take a look around and find myself

in my father's room on a chair and not in chain. I look in front of me

and finds my father sitting there behind his desk with eyes narrowing at

me.

"We need to talk” finding my strength back I stood up "sorry Alpha but

no" he glares at me

"Addasah and” I cut him off "if you are going to say I can't be with

Addasah then you're wrong. I won't stay away this time"

He growl at me slamming his fist on the desk.

"I want my mate, not Quinn so please just accept it because no matter

what you do I'll run away” I said.

I wasn't joking when I came back here for Addasah I meant every word I

say.

"You will not mate her" he is trying to control his breath, his hands

clenching on each side of the desk.

"Matteo" his voice raised in hoarse tone "sit down" he order me using

his Alpha side.

"If you still want to see her eyes open again then sit down and let's

talk" he threatens me.

"You think that would stop me, you won't even kill her because you

know I won't let you”

"Oh I will kill her and her parents if you think I'm bluffing don't test my

limits Matteo. Now sit back down" he order me again in his Alpha tone.

My body tries to fight against it yet it was force to submit and I ended

up losing it.

I sat in front of him he took a whisky then sit back behind his desk.+

"We have a lot to talk about. Shall we start?"
