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.'
It's getting frustrated I mean I missed him already and Alera is going insane.
"Addasah, are you going to school today" 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," my
world stops.8
Did I just hear that right, his son's mating 'it can't be Matteo right?' I ask myself 'maybe it's his older
brother, I don't know if there's anyone older than him... An illegitimate child I guess'
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."
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,"
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 us' 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 here' I whisper to myself 'I have to confront me, how dare he lies to me'
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.
'Maybe 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.
