Stretching out my arms in front of my home. I smile taking in the view
of our house.
After four hours of ride I am finally here in one piece with no accident
on the road or any rogues attack. I can't believe nothing has changed.
I walk up to the front door and found it lock âperfectâ I excitedly giggle
while going around and climb over my room.
"Geez thanks to the moon goddess they didn't cut down this tree" I
mumble to myself as I made my way up the window.
The window was locked but I use my arm to break it down and finally I
was in.
It's good to be back homeâ I threw myself on the bed and happy that
everything was still the same as I left them to be. I watches the ceiling
for a moment thinking of how things are around here before running
down the stairs to get my suitcase inside the house.
I locked the door again and made my way to my room where I unpack
my stuff and thought of ways to surprise my parents at the same time I
hope for my mom not to kill me as she has clearly told me to stay there.
Feeling bored by myself at home I decided to go to the mall for
shopping and grab something sweet to eat. Everything there seems a
bit changed but I was surprised that its all shut down.
The shops were close even cafe I look around and there was no sign of
anyone around here. So I drove to a cafe out of town near the territory.
The cafe is almost closed so I quick my steps and made it there when
the lady is about to close it.
I ask the lady if I could still buy some chocolate chips and a cake
unfortunately she said no and went on to explain.
"Sorry dear but everything is close down for now even our side. We are
all attending tonight's ball for Alpha Matteo-"2
My phone rings cutting off the woman and what she is trying to tell me.
Looking at the number it was private I quickly declined it and turn my
attention again back to the woman
"so everyone is expected there. I'm sorry my dear but we're close for
business now" and she walk back inside closing the door in my face.
Sighing in defeat I went back home and chill in my room watching
random movies.
Thinking my parents could be here any minute but no they aren't and it
makes me wonder where they could have been.
âWhy don't we go to the ball, maybe they are there alreadyâ Alera says
through our link
âand plus we could surprise them there including Matteo. You know it's
like killing two birds with one stoneâ she nervously suggested.2
To think again its not such a bad idea but am I really that ready to face
him. Alera is insisting on meeting him but for me I am still nervous
when it comes to facing him.2
'He promised" Alera reminds me and I found back my courage âright
we're going to do this.â
I look for a dress in my closet finally my eyes settled on my unworn
dress that my friends bought on my eighteen birthday. I run my fingers
through the royal dark green off the shoulder sleeveless dress, and
thought on whether should I wear it or not.
In the end I wore the dress and to my surprise I love how the color suits
me even though it wasn't my favourite one but I am amazed by it.
I did a retouch of my make up and I did my hair in a swept back
hairstyle with gentle long curls down and fix the temples around my
ears. I smack my lips together turning myself in front of the mirror
before going to the ball.
As I was driving back I felt goosebumps on my body it's like something
is going to happen but I try not to think of it.
When I arrived there I saw the pack house no longer a house but now
turned into a mansion with guards at the gate.
They stopped me âinvitationâ the guard says without looking up as he
was kicking something on the ground.
"Sorry I don't have it with me right now but I'm Addasah Rumanoff, a
member of this packâ
the guard eyes swiftly turn up to me "Addasah?" he repeatedly said my
name as if he didn't hear me before and I nodded my head in return.
"You may pass"
I drove inside the gate and look back to find the guard looking at me
skeptically. I park outside on the other side of the lawn as the place was
crowded with cars and made my way inside.
Taking a deep breath the first thing I did was looing around for anyone
I know.
The place was crowded with people but it didn't even take up the
whole space as the mansion was really big.
"Addasah?" I swiftly twirl around and find Jay standing there in a corner.
"You're back" he walk to my way "and you look amazing" he reach for
my hand and shajes it.
"thank you..and you look okay" shit I just slap myself in my head.
"Did Alpha Matteo knows you're here?" I shook my head no and I saw
him squint his brow.1
Ahhh so now he's the Alpha I thought aside then look back up to Jay
again "Umm have you seen my parents!" I ask changing the subject
"nope I don't think they will be here tonight" I furrow my brow.
"I think your mom has gone into" he was cut off by another voice
belonging to a female and I find it my que to leave.
I continued to look around for my parents in the crowd but I had no
luck in it as none of them were here. âMaybe I should go home' I turn to
leave but remember that I have to see Matteo so I stay.
"Addasahâ I heard my name and turn to find both of my friends walking
towards me with surprise.
They both hug me "oh my you're here and I can't believe it"
"me too girls I thought you're grounded" I point to Cora
"and you're on vacationâ I point to Gia.
"I was grounded for a year but I have to be here tonight since Jem is
the beta" Cora slightly laugh
"yeah and I just came back with Ed and surprised to find out that
Matteoâ Gia clamp her mouth stopping in midway.
They both exchanged looks with each other with their eyes widen and
now they both look at me with worries.
"Oh my Addasah you shouldn't be here tonight?" they both held onto
my arms. 1
I scrunched my brow in confusion "why shouldn't I be, its my home and
I wanted to surprise my mom and dad here. Besides I want to see
Matteo before I go home tonight" they both gasps and I didn't like the
way they look at me.
"Come on Addasah, let's go home to talk besides you're parents aren't
here tonight,â Cora tries to convince me but I refuse to go.
"Look we're both surprised too for tonight but we need to talk at home
not here" she looks at me with pleading eyes.
They sure as hell is hiding something from me.
I look back at Gia who quickly makes a call on her phone.
"What's going on?" I ask them again
"Addy, we have to get out of here. You will only get hurt, please Addy"
they try to drag me by the arm and that is when I saw him.
"Matteo" I whisper pulling away from their arms and watches him in the
centre getting everyones attention.
I slowly walk up to where he was, step by step I nervously went up to
him with my hand holding his ring on my neck but his words made me
stuck.
My eyes moves to his left and found Quinn going up to him with a big
smile on her face.
She looks happy as she extends her hand out to him.1
'He liesâ were two words I whisper as I took another three steps back.
