Chapter 27: Chapter 27

I dropped Adassah back home, then kissed her and went back to the packhouse.

My father has linked me that he needed me in his office.

When I arrive there, one of our omegala greeted me. She is an elderly woman who has always been handling our families’ affairs. Like looking after the other omegas and ensuring that the packhouse remains good.

"Your father is in the dungeon," I look at her skeptically, "urgent matter," she smiles.

I walk away from the packhouse and made my way to our prison, then down the dungeons where only the rogues and other wolves with high criminal profiles are kept.

The guards let me through "father", he turns to me with a bloody fist. I look behind him and found a bloody man on the ground, tied towards the wall with a silver chain.

He motions to our top warrior, none other than Adassah's father.

"Lyndon."

I greeted him, and he moves to hand the white towel to my father who uses it to wipe the blood on his hands.

The man's head slowly snaps up his head looking towards Lyndon.

Then he smirks deviously, "never thought I could see you again, old friend."  He spits out blood while Lyndon stood there, not even moving or having any reaction towards the man.

"I met your daughter today," he laughs, "such a beauty, right, Matt boy,"

I stood shocked, 'how could he know my name.' I wanted to kill him, but I remained my composure besides, I was too shocked.

The man continues to talk while I just stood there in shock, hoping, then he wouldn't mention me and her.

"And a waste," he continues, "not you get-" he didn't quite finish as Lyndons fists collided with his jaw, "mother fuck," he curses at Lyndon.

"You can approach everyone else, but not my daughter or my wife," Lyndon threatens, and then he walks out of there.

My father turns aside to other guards, "make sure he doesn't leave this place."

"Yes, Alpha."

I follow behind my father without saying anything until we reach his office.

"About the guard, who kills, molests, and rapes girls. It seems like everyone has come forward now and tell the truth. He was threatening every victims’ family as most of them are omegas," my father explains.

"Great job son, the man deserves to die for his crimes. Yet I'm impressed you got him before he rapes the girl."

Yes, I have explained to him why I did, what I did with the hope he won't ask about the girl I saved that night, but he did.

"Who was she?" He put his hands on the table.

"Not quite familiar with her," was my only answer.

"Okay, in case I forgot the reason why I call you here, was I wanted you to act as an Alpha on my behalf while I and your mother will be away for two months," he has been planning for the both of them to have a vacation.

"So are you ready to be one before your official ceremony?"

"I am a father," he then dismisses me.

"Ahhh, Matteo," I stopped midway, turning to him.

"Is there something between you and Adassah?"

"Nope," I lie, didn't want them to meddle in my life.

"Why?" I ask with curiosity.

"Nothing, just don't get too close to her."

I stood there in confusion, I wanted to ask further, but his phone rang, and he went to answer it. I went out of the office only to pump into Jay

"Hey, how was your weekend?"

Remember how much I enjoyed being there, those moments with nana Gloria and Adassah, and not forgetting those lips on mine.

"Great."

I widely grin like an idiot and move to walk on ahead. 'Wow today was amazing,' Thunder chuckles how we both enjoy our day with Adassah despite the rogue's attack on Aaron's Pack and the man in the dungeon.

"Hey, you're home?" Mom Shina calls me from the kitchen.

"Yeah, I am."

The smile never left my face, and before she could say anything else, I rush upstairs to my room.

I open the door then close behind me with a smile never left my face.

It was strange to feel this way. I move to the closet only to find the person I never expected to be in my room.

"Quinn."

She stood there at the window, watching outside, but hid behind the curtains, as if she didn't want anyone to see her.

Since our breakup, this is the first time I saw her again. We have been avoiding each other until now.

Guess she's the first one to make the first move. Forgot to have explained things to her.

Hearing me cough and the door closed, she turned around and what I saw made me feel even more guilty.

The love of my life is crying, and it's my entire fault. I was having a good time with Adassah forgetting about her and how would she feel.

"Matteo," she whimpers, "I don't think I can pretend anymore that everything is fine. Matteo I love you so much and... And I can't take this distance between us anymore," she broke down in her knees right in front of me.

"I can't move on. I don't want to break up with you," she shook her head, crying, and crawls to grab onto my leg, begging me down there.

"Please, Matteo, I can't live without you," she sobs out loudly.

Suddenly I felt this pang inside my chest, that's making me hard to breathe.

'I love Quinn, not Adassah, no definitely not her,' I kept on muttering in my head probably, I am also trying to convince myself.

I look at her, and my heart broke there. Slowly I got down on my knees right before her pulling her into my arms.

For the past few days, the only person who occupies my mind was Adassah, and I didn't think of anyone else when I was with her not until now.

Seeing Quinn like this makes me rethink everything.

Right now, my heart remains with Quinn only and Adassah to be taken advantage of.
