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.
