Chapter 54: Chapter 54

: Erroneous Choice

Matteo's Pov

Before I made my entrance I saw Quinn laughing with her friends once she saw me she put on a big smile and walk in my way.

"I'm so excited for tonight" she keeps looking down the hallway where people are making entries inside the house.

"Keep on smiling like that cause it will be the only night you'll ever be" the smile left her face

"You know I love you-"

"Don’t give me that love bullshit because I don't" she started to tear up but I didn't feel any sympathy for her.

If she didn't push for us together after Adassah left, we wouldn't be in this situation.

"Just know you're just a breed to my child, nothing more"

I took off a handkerchief from my pocket and threw it to her

"Wipe those fucking tears and act just like how we have been practicing for a week now"

I walk away from her and head downstairs leaving her behind.

When I arrive down the hall a lot of Alphas and Beta have arrived. I was then approached by Alpha Hernandez.

"Alpha Hernandez"

"Please, it's Dante we're no strangers to have titles with each other, are we?" he pats on my shoulder.

"So I heard you've been on training"

I raise my brow knowing very well this is one of the lies my dad told everyone when I ran away and went rogue.

"Yeah, something like that. How's it going with you?" I ask

"Dante" his luna interrupt us she was rubbing at her stomach, then he leans and kisses her forehead. He pulls her closer with a smile "everything is perfectly fine"

His interaction with his luna made me second guess my choice yet again I tried to forget it.

"How are things with Adassah?" he asks and I froze forcing a smile on my face. His luna looks between the two of us.

Luckily Cora came and took her away from her mate leaving the two of us alone. If I could recall I think he's the only one who knew that Adassah and I are mates "Ummm" I rub the back of my head.

"It's over after tonight as... I don't know" he squints his brow before whispering to me in a low voice

"Just an advice Matteo, I don't know what you're deciding tonight but know that if you fuck up tonight, your life will be forever fucked up. Trust me I'm just lucky to be accepted by my mate again" he then gave a slap on my shoulder.

"Take it from someone who has been an ass, jerk, and other spiteful words to his mate" he looks in her direction and smiles again.

"Alpha" we turn to face Alpha Gibson, his luna Elle, my cousin Aaron, his Mate, and Alpha Zeus with his mate.

"Alpha" they both dismissively don't want to be called Alpha among us. After all, we're all alliance and friends here.

We all talk for a while making my night feel a little bit better. Sometime later I was going to head to Quinn when someone pulls me back to a corner.

I turn to find an angry Gia yanking at my arm. In her harsh tone, she whispers to me

"Is it true you're announcing Quinn as your luna tonight?" she looks at me for confirmation.

"It's none of your business who I have chosen as my luna" I dare her and she seizes me up with her eyes.

"It is when my friend is your mate" she glares at me. "I curse you Alpha and I hope when you have kids with her" she meant Quinn "may it fall upon their head."

I clench my fist and was about to retaliate when someone intercepted. She spits on the ground

"Gia, what's going on?" Cora came behind her. She swirls around and they both turn to go I could hear them both whispering.

Then I heard Cora cursing "motherfucker" she turn to lunge at me but Gia held her back.

I walk away from them suppressing my anger and try to act as nothing happens a minute ago.

When it's time I saw Quinn coming from the stairs, pretending to be happy and in love. I reach my hand out to her with a forced smile.

I introduced her around despite a disappointing look from Dante I ignore it and went on to others.

The evening went on with bliss and all these heavy burdens on my shoulder start to weigh a little.

I did the announcement, my first take as an Alpha, and then my chosen luna.

Right when I thought everything is going to be alright after the announcement I saw her.

She was right here from across the room watching my every move with Quinn.

My breath hitch, I cannot believe she is here. I saw her looking at me with sadness and pain.

She shouldn't be here tonight, I thought she won't be here until her training is over.

All my decisions or choices of moving on and being a perfect family man for my child threw out of the window.

My promise to be a better mate and to wait for her replays in my head as our eyes lock on each other.

My heart races and wildly beats for her. Thunder whimpers in my head knowing that we have broken her again. I took a step forward still in shock of her appearance tonight.

Her hand went to her neck and that's when I saw the ring I gave her. She still kept it and again I felt like dying. What am I doing to her?

A tear drops from her eyes as she rips off the necklace with the ring falling on the ground then abruptly she turns around and made her way for the door crying.

"Adassah" I call after her, leaving Quinn behind in the middle of the dance floor.

All Alphas, lunas, and other guests head to turn my way but I ignored it all and chase after her.

"Matteo" Quinn calls after me with her steps quicker as she was also following behind me but too late I am not stopping here.

I run for Adassah calling out her name.

"Alpha we're under attack" one of the warriors links me.

My eyes widen and I quicken my steps to catch up with Adassah.

"Adassah" I shouted yet she keeps on running. "Adassah" I growl at her trying to match up to my speed.

"Adassah" my wolf howl and I was in fear when I saw wolves with red eyes and in subtle states emerged from the forest. They have already crossed over our borders.

"Adassah"

I shouted and I saw a white fur wolf slam against her, pushing her out of the way and sending her over the cement.

Her head hits a statue as the silver bullet hits the white wolf.

"Mia"

A loud growl was heard from across the lawn. I turn to find Lyndon shifting and running towards the wolf lying on the ground.

"No, it can't be," I run towards Adassah.

The guests of the evening came running out of the mansion.

All Alphas who have come out began to shift. I saw Dante, with his luna behind him. He kisses her on the forehead then he snarls before shifting and charging at the feral wolves.

Eric with his Beta and Elle who have already shifted, attacks on the other side while Aaron and Zeus were fighting against other ferals leading others.

"Adassah" I growl when a feral wolf made its way towards her.

I jump shifting into Thunder and we push to move forward.

The feral wolf didn't get to lay a single finger on her as I rip him into half before he dares to lay a hand on her.

I am glad to have her in my arms but the moment I look back.

I knew then Dante's words were true that my life is now fucked up forever.
