Chapter 10: Chapter 10

"Ahhhhhh," thrashing around I kept on screaming and at the same time, I struggled to open the door, but his hold is tightening around me.

"Would you stop screaming, you're hurting my eardrums. Now shut up and I promise to let go of you." He stops me, and I nod in agreement.

"I am not going to kill you. Okay, I'm letting you go, and you need to behave," the green-eyed devil tries to convince me.

I nodded my head again, complying with him like an obedient child. He let go and I quickly move to open the door, unfortunately, it's locked.

He held back my right wrist, "your parents are in a meeting with the Alpha and other respective people from other packs. So your mom asks me to pick you up."

I narrow my eyes at him. "Oh yeah, and she gave me the keys saying something that you would never get in if it's somebody else's car. Especially when your father says he'll pick you up," he starts up the car.

"I swear you’re lying."

My arms folding and I kept looking at him, not forgetting Alera was too busy drooling over him. I kept asking myself why my mom would let Matteo pick me up, then remembering yesterday, I sigh slumping back to my seat.

I knew my mom won't let anything go without knowing the real truth, this was her way of finding out the real status of my relationship with Matteo 'like we're even connected.'

I wonder why he wouldn't get mad at me for threatening his girlfriend.

"Hey, Matt."

A hand falls on my shoulder, making me jump and almost scream again. I look back to only find Jay and another guy smiling at me.

"Can you pull over at a store? I need to buy something."

"What is wrong with you guys?" I settle back to my seat.

"Well, your mom didn't fully trust Matteo, and luna Shina thought the hero needs to be protected," Jay said with a grin.

The car pulls in front of a store, and they both went out, leaving me and Matteo alone in the car.

Too quiet, and it's making me nervous right now. "Would you stop that?" He said in irritation.

I look over him, "what?" I ask with confusion.

He put back his phone in his pocket, "stop shaking your leg." I refuse to listen, and I shook my right leg which unexpectedly, he reaches out and holds it down.

"Do it once more and I'll kill you in this car with my cold-blooded hands," he said without even an emotion.

I just can't believe this guy, there was no hint at all to show whether he was joking or serious. Yet the atmosphere in the car is enough for me to know that his words were not empty promises.

Without hearing my response, he moves in closer to my face. My stupid heart and the wolf again did not do a good job at all. They are both getting out of my control, and I wish to the moon goddess he won't see right through it.

"Do we understand princess," he caresses my cheek before holding it up.

'What is he doing?' I ask myself and instantly I nod, wanting this feeling and his hand to go away.

I wish I know what my true feelings are since it is all over the place. I wish I know whether I'm falling in love, or I fear the ass hole green eye mate.

Delicately he retreats his hand, and I sat back with so much turmoil in me on ‘what exactly is going on?’

An hour pass and those two haven't even come back yet. Hating the silence in the car, I reach to turn on some music.

"Don’t touch that."

My hand almost to the key I look aside, ‘is he kidding me? Who is he to tell me not to touch anything, I mean this is practically my dad's car.’

Ignoring his warning, I press the button which was a huge mistake as the music blasted out loud and the words of the song deviously bitch slap right in the face.

"Knock OUT, ding, ding ding," I scream to Alera who laughed at my dismay while the songs keep hitting me in the head with the singer screaming, "I WANNA KNOW WHAT LOVE IS."

'Like my mate would show me what love is,' I retort back in my head, then switch it to the radio, which was also a mistake.

The music plays 'there's a meeting in my bed, in my bed,' does this day gets any better, I groan then switch it off completely.

"Why did you switch that off?"

Jay says while getting in the car with the unknown guy, then shutting the door behind them while Matteo starts the engine. He makes his way through and puts the song back on.

Taking a deep breath, I look outside the window, singing the song in a low voice, not able to control my body.

My shoulders move a little with my head in small shake according to the rhythm.

Can you blame me for that song's rhythm moving your body despite the words I just lost in the music, ignoring other people in the car?

When we arrive at the packhouse, I saw other people glancing in my way. Did I ever say I have met these people, definitely a no?

I grab a chair and sit at the other end of the living room, almost to the entrance door. Pulling out my phone, I randomly selected a game and played it.

A sound of a door opens, and voices were heard, signaling that the meeting is over. People came out and right when I see my parents I ran over and hug them.

Matteo stood up from the couch and returned the car keys to my dad

"Thank you, Matteo," my mother took hold of his hand. "Thank you," she repeatedly said before releasing her hold on his hand.

A moment later, our Alpha and Luna Shina came outside motioning for all pack members to gather around.

Everyone is present except for the warriors on borders duties and Gia whom I haven't seen at all. The Alpha went and stood on the steps hurling everyone around him.

"As you may all know, my condition is not going to improve anytime soon. Therefore, my son Matteo will be having trials before I ascend him the title of Alpha next week."

Everyone gasps then came to the murmuring. The Alpha raises his voice, silencing them off.

"I have already prepared him for this role, and I want you to trust in my decision and your future Alpha. This trial is just to test him… Any questions?"

An old woman raises her hand, "yes, Miranda."

"Alpha Roman what of the luna."

The Alpha seems to be indecisive before he spoke again.

"Matteo hasn't found his luna yet," with those words, Alera whimper, and I felt something constraint in me.

"If by next week he hasn't found his mate. Then his girlfriend Quinn Sullen whom you have all known, and we have already approved of will be chosen as his luna."

None of the pack members spoke up, they just went silent, and I didn't know my hold around my father's shirt was tightened.

My eyes were fixed on Matteo who now held on to Quinn. I felt an alone tear leaving my eyes. It was caused by my wolf Alera who is crying. This wasn't a good sign at all. My green eye devil is breaking her soul.

I buried my head in my father's chest as my breath hitched while hoping my feelings for him weren't love because if it is.

Then I don't want it because it's hurting Alera, and it's slowly gliding over me, reaching for my poor heart to be crushed.
