Chapter 26: Chapter 26

"Bye, grandma."

I hug her tightly, "I am so gonna miss you," we both whisper to each other before getting into the car and making our way home.

This weekend was one of the best as I enjoy every moment of it with my grandma and Matteo.

I know but we did have fun together without being Mate but just neighbor.

My grandma told me he left early for our pack. Ever since that night, I kick his balls Matteo never made a snide comment, but he always teases me about the P... word, and mating.

The music was in high volume, making me groove to it. The rain suddenly starts to pour, and I kind of speed up the car.

Everything was okay not until I take a look at my phone as its notification showed that it is shutting down soon.

I turn up to find a figure standing in the middle of the road with a hooded cloak. It was like what those monks back in the days wore, making my car stop all of the sudden.

The loud screeching of the flats was heard and my head almost hit the steering wheel. I took a deep breath and turn up to find nothing at all.

I felt goosebumps on my skin, and my back hair stood up. My car shook as if something or someone is making its moves, then I look through the rear-view mirror to check and find nothing.

My heart kept hammering in a quick beat while my wolf Alera keeps on growling through our links.

It stops all of a sudden, even the rain that was heavily poured. Shaking away my fear, I try to start the ignition, but it won't start.

I start it again and again, yet it still doesn't work. I can't believe my car broke down in the middle of the main road and there was no sign of any other cars around.

My phone battery died, and I have no other way of communication. Just a silent prayer not to encounter with the rogues or any other hunters or even the person I thought I've seen minutes ago.

I sat there in the car, waiting for a miracle to happen. Closing my eyes with my fingers tapping on the steering wheel, Alera keeps telling me to run back home, but I can't risk being in danger. I'm far from home now and what just happened earlier still gives me bad vibes.

'Tad tad'

A knock on my window made me almost jump. I look outside worried and found my crazy mate standing there.

He waves at me, and I roll down the window "need help?"

I want to refuse but now is not a good time. Matteo is my only option, and I wonder what he was doing here, I thought he left earlier for our territory.

"My car broke down," I told him and opened up the door to get out.

He opens the hood checking the engine "can you start it again" he calls me and went to start it, but it won't.

He bends down, then back up, closing the hood "you need to cool the engine?"

"for how long?"

"Let's just say 2 hours."

Sighing I went and sat on the car hood, he scoots me over and sat next to me.

"So why are you here?" I ask

"I was on my way back home."

"I thought you left earlier," he sighs.

"There was an attack on Aaron's pack near their border, and when I came back, your grandma says you just left. I have to find you cause the vamps we're heading this way," that made me shiver.

Matteo saw, and suddenly, he was close to me as I fold my arms.

"I think they did pass me. I saw a person in a cloak in the middle of the road. At first, I thought it was just my imagination, but now I know it wasn't."

I try to wipe the sweat off my hands, and seeing this, he took my hands into his warm ones.

"Glad I did arrive on time then," I nodded my head in agreement.

We sat there for another minute, then we both turn at the same time, facing each other.

It was supposed to be weird, but his eyes, his body, and his soul is drawing me more like luring me towards him.

He moves into my way, I am surprised that he wasn't the only one making a move.

Our lips met, and what I felt made both of us pull each other closer, wanting for more.

It was like we're both magnets that when they pull together, it was hard to separate.

He hovers above me, settling between my legs while his right-hand hoist up my waist close to his hard body.

His left hand holding my head while he continuously devours me with his kisses or should I say, his mouth is the death of me now.

We pull away for air, both heavily breathing. His nose nuzzled against my nose while he smiles.

"So would you please give us a chance to be mates?"

I didn't expect for us to kiss in the middle of the road on my dad's car hood and for him to push his luck. I felt Alera growing nervously through our links as she waited for my answer to him.

We never really talk about it back at the Moonbridge, he brought it up once, but I quickly dismissed the idea, and now he's asking me again. I look into his eyes just to see if what he says is a lie, but all I could see is his sincerity.

I caressed his cheek, "Yes, I would love that, Matteo," Alera howled with joy.

As for the big bad future Alpha, he kisses me one more time before pulling me into a hug.

"As much I wanted to take you here right now, but I haven't asked you on a proper date yet, or even officially take you on one yet," I laugh and playfully push him away.

"Come on, I'll take you home."

He pulls me again towards him and kisses me one more time before he took me home.

We have used tow straps to tow my dad's car back home by using his car.
