Prisoner

Matteo's Pov

I walk back out of the house and without turning to my warriors who

are mourning the loss of their top warrior I went straight for the pack's

gym.

It has been an hour now since we got back from chasing after Lyndon.

The enemies are gone now. My father too was gone.

I didn't feel any remorse yet despite that he is still my father and

somehow I kind of feel a little bit pity for him.

The cause of him becoming like that was my mother maybe not entirely

but her not loving him made him the man who he is now.

Yet the damage he has inflicted on my life has already been done and

can never be undone. My Mate and I will forever be in this cat and

mouse game while I'll always hid and she chase after those missing

memories that withheld the truth.2

Maybe she won't now but I know one day she will and I have to be

honest with her before that day. I guess I'll always be imprison by my

guilt, sadness and regrets.

Honestly I don't know what to tell her either, that her fucking mate

couldn't retrieve her dad's body as the mountain that we were on was

actually a volcanic one.

Lyndon's body could not be retrieve from the lava as it already into

ashes. Obviously I'm the one with secrets now and the burden is

getting heavier in me.

I punch the punching bag when I reach it. Then I hit again as once

wasn't enough to get everything out of my head and system just for a

little.

I am trying to cope from everything that has happened earlier. Actually

I was hoping to tell her about everything and again it didn't go my way.

I don't even know anymore if we were meant to be as everytime I was

this close in telling her and again I am being thrown back to 100k miles

away from her.

Why does this always have to happen.

I heavily sigh with sweats dripping down from my body after another

hour of working out. I rested for awhile there before going back to the

house and have a shower then I head for the office.

I wanted to check on Addasah but I just couldn't face her now, not after

everything that has happened. I failed her again as a Mate in protecting

our family even though victory was on our side.

Addasah is in her room, along with Wes beside her. She has black out

due to the loss of her father. I wish there was something I could do yet I

couldn't.

I sat there in my office sometimes afterwards burying myself into work.

There is a knock on the door "come in" I don't look up at the person

rather I focus on the work in front of me.

"Alpha, Dr. Omalley has already taken test on each prisoners and all are

free to go back to their families. So we have already contacted the

prisoners families from different pack’ Jay bit on his lower lip as if he's

nervous.

"Unfortunately there's only one prisoner around three or five years of

age that was likely to be in the second phase of the experiment and we

couldn't find anyone related to her" Jay further explained and I could

tell that he is frustrated.

I don't blame or be mad at him either, as I know everyone is exhausted

after the attack.

"We only have her name and last name but we don't know who she is.

Our trackers has tried their best but it seems like her data were wipe off

completely,” he concluded with a sigh.

He handed me the file and I flip it open only to find it blank and just

her baby photo and name nothing else inside it.

"Did you have a search on all packs,” I ask “that we did too and, we

even call them but none seems to have heard of such name."

I keep on tapping on her name in the file "Holly Davis" I repeatedly said

it to myself. Suddenly I remembered an incident that happened 3 years

ago before the defeat of the rogue King by Alpha Hernandez. I don't

know if my instincts are true but I know I have to try and I will contact

them immediately.2

"I'l handle this from here, and just ask elder Rue to help the pup and

put her in a spare room. After that then you can rest. Now you may

dismissed as well Jay," I gave him a warm smile.

Once he left I slump back on my chair rubbing my face with my hands

before picking up the phone and call Dante.

"Luna Daniella speaking,” she answered and just the right person I was

hoping to find.

"Hello, Daniella it's me Alpha Matteo" I hear shuffling then her rambling

in low tone.

She told that she is going to get Dante but I told her it's her that it's her

I needed to talk to in which she let out an oh in response. I know she

has a niece that they have been looking for even after the attack they

still look for her.

It was when she almost went insane before giving birth that Cameron

ordered everything to suppress this includes all the child's data despite

Dante's disapproval. Yet Cameron has more right to the child than him

or Daniella as he was the father.

I don't know what really happened but that is just a glimpse of rumours

that were spreading around.

I may not be the fan of those rumours then but I know this one might

be helpful especially when it's not a rumour but a fact which I am about

to ask her. So I have heard the name of her long lost niece is Holly

Davis.

"Holly Davis, do you happen to know her?" I ask and she is silent for

another twenty minutes.

I know she's shocked to hear the name I mean who wouldn't right?

"Is it just her?" she asks again and I could hear her sniffling

"no" I replied shortly.

"Then you must got the wrong-"

she didn't finish as I cut her off and explained the child's features in the

photo I'm seeing. She didn't speak again but only to be replaced with a

loud sob.

I hear a door slams open and someone cursing out loud. I knew that

Dante is now mad and wanted to kill the person on the phone who

made his Mate cry. I was going to put it down when he shouted

through the phone and his mate's sobs were uncontrollable.

"I swear if you-"

"cut the crap I didn't hurt her she is just in shock, I think" I told him and

he growls at me through the phone.

"Dante"

"how the fuck do you know-"

"it's me Matteo" he cursed out even more before apologising after I

explained to him the situation.

"Thank you Matt, and please be informed that we'll come over cause I

don't think she wants to delay seeing Holly"

"perfect then we'll await for your arrival” I turn off the phone and

started to walk out of the office.

I made my way to see Addasah who is still in bed without waking up. I

pick up the now awaken Wes and head downstairs. After I fed him I link

Jay to know which room he has put the young pup inside before I head

there with Wes in my arms.

I watch as the young brunette pup plays with toys. A strand of her hair

were behind her ears "how is she doing?" I ask Rue who sat on the chair

near her.

"Good Alpha and better than we expected,” she response.

"Alpha, they are here," one of the warriors informed me through the

links "escorts them here and tell Evan to bring me a file on my desk"

After a while I heard footsteps then Cameron came inside and went

straight to the pup only for her to bit his hand and hiss at me. She

growls and stand in her defensive stance, she definitely in alert.

Daniella who has been sniffling came forward "Holly" she calls her out

then did sign with her hands in which the child whimpers mommy

before jumping in her arms

Daniella held her close as if her life depends on it and she start to kiss

all over the pups head.

"Thank you Alpha Matteo” Cameron extended his gratitude "always

welcome anytime Alpha Cam but it all thanks to my beta and warriors” I

turn to Dante "so I'm confused she is?" I point to Daniella

"Holly's her niece” Dante said.

"and the sign she did is a gesture of love and only families know it"

Cameron explains.

I link Dr. Omalley to check on the pup again before she left with Dante

an his Luna.

I heard screaming and it's coming from Addasah's room. I rush there

holding Wes securely in my arms. I put him gently in his crib before

turning to the thrashing Addasah who keeps calling out in her dreams

to her dad not to leave her.

Clearly her nightmares has now prison her in her dreams and reality. I

pull her in my arms with a stray of tear hoping tomorrow will be better

for her.
