Chapter 31: Chapter 31

Matteo's Pov

"She's my mate."

I gulped my whisky while Quinn stood there speechless. Jay looks back and forth between the two of us.

"No, she isn't your mate," she shook her head as if what I'm saying is not true.

"Well, suit yourself, but Adassah is my mate whether you like it or not."

I push myself away from the bar and stood up to go home.

After my date with Adassah, I made my way home only to be stopped by Quinn and Jay. They have caught me leaving her driveway and even took photos of me and her kissing each other, in case I denied anything.

We should have been more careful, but I guess there is no use. I would be lying if I say I didn't enjoy my date tonight with Adassah, because seriously, I was drawn to her.

I know I sounded confused but the way she responded to my kisses. The way she talks and the way I open up to her tonight while she listened was mind-blowing. I have never felt so connected to someone in my whole life.

I may have connected with Quinn in a love relationship, but Adassah was quite different. Now I don't know what I want anymore. Is it possible to love two people at the same time?

"No," Thunder growl through our links, "we should have loved our mate only," he spat, but I close him off.

Everything is ruined now, I mean my night is ruined now that Quinn and Jay caught me. I think it's time for me to choose what my heart truly desires.

"She's not your mate," she held back my arm, "look Quinn, we can talk this tomorrow" I walk away from the two of them.

"I am the one you love, not her," she shouted at me, wiping away her tears.

"Matteo, look me in the eyes and say that you love her," she turns me to her, her hands gripping mine.

Looking straight into her eyes made me realize again that she is right. I fucking love her even though a part of me did like Adassah, but it will never compete with my feelings for Quinn.

I look behind her and remember Jay was here with her. I felt something burning within me that I couldn't contain myself but harshly sneer at her and him.

"What about Jay? Who is he to you, and why the fuck are you two together tonight?" I spat out at her changing the subject

Jay threw a punch at me which I gladly dodge.

"Since when did you ask about me, and your girl together? You know I never had a thing for her" he punches again, but it missed.

"Not all boyfriends are okay with their woman seen with another man."

"Oh yeah, what about her man," he pointed to Quinn and then to me, "and another woman," Jay furiously jab at my chest.

I laugh lightly, "right, I guess we're both doing the same thing," Quinn nodded her head, not moving towards me quickly.

"No, don't leave me for her," she grabs onto my hand while sobbing.

"I told you I love you, Matteo, and nobody, not even my mate" she put my hands to her heart.

"Please, Matt, you only want her because of the bond. Matteo, I love you, please not her" then she flung her hands around my neck, clinging to it.

She stubbornly won't let go of me, "Quinn," I kiss her forehead and say to her, "will talk tomorrow, I promise."

She nodded her head and pecks me on the lips. Jay went back home alone while I went to drop Quinn off home.

Afterward, I went back to the packhouse to find my father, his beta, gamma, and Adassah's father in the living room.

Later on, mother Shina joins us and was surprised to see her pulling a suitcase behind her. She smiles when she sees me then hugged me.

My father looks at me sternly, "Matteo, I know I have already informed you on this matter that your mother and I are going on a vacation, and you will act in my place as Alpha. So if you need anything ask any of the gentlemen in here."

He motions to everyone around who all nodded in agreement. He then dismissed everyone else, leaving him, luna Shina and me.

"Matteo, your Final homecoming game?" He asks.

"Next week Friday," I reply shortly.

"Are you going to mate Quinn then?" Again I just nodded my head yes.

"Good, now please take care, and if anything happens, call us immediately, and we'll be here."

I hug him then to luna Shina before we move outside to bid farewell to others.

When they left, I turn around to find Lyndon, Adassah's dad looking at me sternly. He then smiles, "see you tomorrow Alpha," and he walks back to his car.

I felt my phone vibrate; I took it out to only see Adassah's text "Mom knows."

I shut my phone close, not wanting to reply to her that Jay and Quinn now know.
