Last Night

I woke up with no sign of Matteo, I sat there on my bed with tears from

my eyes.5

Alera hates me for what I did but I kept on telling her that it was just a

dream.

I must be dreaming I thought to myself then I felt a cold metal in my

right palm.

Opening my palm I saw the promise ring he gave me. It was beautifully

made with little white diamonds surrounding it and a medium diamond

in the middle.

Admiration was the word I would said this moment when looking at

this ring.

Then reality hits me that everything wasn't a dream, Matteo was here

and I almost kill him not until I saw those green eyes again and that

face whom I use to dream of everyday.

I felt this urge to throw the ring away but since he said it belongs to his

grandma I have respect for that and keep it.

Then what if it's a lie’ my subconscious reminded me but again I still

hold on to that hope that my mate was being sincere and he meant

every words he says.

Alera on the other hand was determined that what Matteo says was

true. She said she talks to Thunder, his wolf and he confirms that his

human side truly meant every words of his promise.

Reaching for my draw I pull out my jewellery box and took out my

necklace. It was a gift from my parents so I slide the ring to it before

putting it on my neck.

Jumping out of bed I went and look myself over the mirror touching

the necklace and the ring on my chest.

My thoughts wonders how many girls are out there who believes their

mates words easily.

I remember I use to be the one who vow on not letting any man walk

over me but now my words seems to throw back in my face because

Matteo did broke my heart.

I understand now why it is so easy to believe because when you fell

deeply in love there is nothing else you would do except believe in that

person.2

I heard screams from downstairs outside of the house. I quickly run

down knowing that it was Gia and Cora.

I open the door "what? Come next time this house is close” I jokingly

opens it wide and before I close it they both tackle me on the ground.

"Ahhh get your ass off of me?" I scream over the top of my lungs and

they both giggle.

"I'm pretty sure if it was a guy you wouldn't be saying that right

Addasah” Gia wiggle her brows and Cora nodded her head in

agreement

"Tsk Tsk bad Addy," she winks

"Oh to hell with that, you two are two heavy and you are both crushing

my poor bones" I dramatically push them off and they both narrow

their eyes which made me laugh .

"YAH then go look for new friends”

"there's no need to look fo ones as being alone is not so bad at all” I

poke out my tongue to them like a child.

"Touché" they both fan their face with their hands and I couldn't stop

myself from laughing.

"Ehhh come on, you know you're my only two besties in this whole

werewolf world"

"liar you're going to have new ones there" they both pretend to not

believe me.

"They wouldn't take your place” Cora push herself up "damn right, now

let's go kick some balls" and we laugh again.

My parents arrived with nana Gloria when it was getting pretty dark.

"Grandma" I hug her almost knocking her down "hoi you almost got

my back dislocated" she complains with a small laugh.

"I miss you"2

"and I to you my dear" I lead her on the couch.

We all gather around talking to each other my grandma telling us

about mom's most embarrassing moments in life and my dad couldn't

help but laugh.

Gia and Cora joins me and my mom was hitting my dad's chest with

embarrassed.

My mom went to fix dinner with grandma and I head upstairs to my

room to get a cardigan as I was getting cold

I was in my room when a light knock was heard "come in" my dad car

inside and close the door behind him.

"He was here right?” I wanted to lie but he goes on "I know Matteo was

here" he sat beside me taking my hands in his.

"If you love him then you have every right to do so. He's your mate and

don't blame yourself for falling in love. It wasn't any of your fault that

you guys are paired up" he kisses my forehead.

"As for your mother, you should understand a mother's instinct, she

didn't want you to get hurt but know she loves you so much and

support every choice you made.”

The door opens and my mom stood there I run up to her hugging her

tightly telling her how much I love her and dad.

After our emotional moments we went back downstairs and straight to

the kitchen where nana Gloria and the girls are.

Grandma was telling them about the food she cooks and both girls

were sitting around the table with their expression which screams

ahhhhh then ohhhh can't wait to taste it.

We have our dinner then later on grandma wanted to talk to me. We

talk for almost an hour.

Her telling me that she knew Matteo and I are mates but didn't want to

interfere with our lives.

We didn't talk much of Matteo and I rather she gave me advice and

gave me encouragement to be brave and knows that everything will

heal in time.

Afterwards I went and kiss my parents goodnight then spend the whole

night chatting, laughing, playing dare game and then ended up

watching a movie.

Following that the girls went to bed but I wasn't sleeping.

My fingers still brushing and plays with the ring on my neck with my

thoughts on him.

I push my legs towards my chest hugging them there while I watches

the moon outside with my hands still on his ring.

"He promised, Alera” I link her "he promised”

feeling a confidence rise through me with determination that he has

made me a promise I whisper to myself.

"I can't wait to be back after four years" with that I kisses his ring.
