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 'perfect' 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 home' 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.
'Why don't we go to the ball, maybe they are there already' Alera says through our link
'and plus we could surprise them there including Matteo. You know it's like killing two birds with one
stone' 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 'right we're going to do this.'
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 "invitation" 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 pack"
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. 'Maybe I should go home' I turn to leave but remember that I have to see Matteo so I stay.
"Addasah" 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 vacation" 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 Matteo" 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," 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 lies' were two words I whisper as I took another three steps back.
