Chapter 8: Chapter 8

Bits by bits all fantasies came crashing down and all my drooling has gone to waste even with my damn words.

Alera couldn't even stop teasing me. "Shame," she keeps repeating, but I just pretend I didn't hear her.

To refresh everyone's memory. The two males that I drool over were none other than the two top Alphas in our werewolf’s world.

Too bad for me, one is already mated, and the other, let's just say he looks cold at me.

Screw that he's throwing a death glare at me for leaving his sister alone at home when rogues were said to have intruded awhile in the territory.

I wouldn't know it, if I knew they were lurking around, I would have stayed behind with Cora, but I didn't, besides I was with the ass of a mate.

"Adassah darling, this is luna, Shina."

My mother starts the introduction with our pack's luna none other than Matteo's mother, after the intensive glare and daydreaming over the two Alphas.

My mother continues to the young female who previously came in sight ruining my moment and is now clung on to her mate.

"Alpha Gibson and his luna Elle."

My mom uses the Alpha's last name as it will be disrespectful if she called them by their first name. I just bow my head in respect with my stupid smile never leaving my face, and at the same time, I hid behind her due to me not having a bra.

"And that's Alpha Hernandez," I smile at Cora's brother, who narrows his eyes at me while standing still beside his sister.

Cora looks as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't as by his looks I'm not his favorite person of the day.

I raise my brow, gesturing in a ‘what’ look, but she just raises her shoulders and arms then eyes go aside.

"Oh, and this is Beta Lucian," my mom concluded putting a stop to our gestures, and I smile at the guy that Matteo had almost attacked a while back.

Speaking of Matteo, well, he went to see his father the Alpha. Who was badly wounded by the rogues, and that's why we all felt the pain.

It is said that they were ambushed by rogues on their way home after the meeting that was held in one of the Council's territories. Luckily the two Alpha were there to help them out, and as for my father, my mom assured me that he's okay and he's taking up his border duties.

"If I didn't know any better why weren't you with Cora at home?" My mom asks.

"Trouble!" Alera whistles in my head.

"I went for a run," I answer, "and Matteo?" She pressed on with her eyes on Matteo who now happens to walk down towards us. Looking sad without even jumping in, to help me out so that they won't suspect we're mates.

"Perfect," I gritted my teeth inwardly. "I happen to help save him from the rogues," he stops walking and gave me one of those what the f...k look with his cold stare.

"Oh dear, are you okay?"

Luna Shina moves to inspect any sign of wounds on him.

"Oh my, thank you, Adassah. I don't know what I would do if he's badly injured like his father or even worst killed by the rogues," she hugs him tightly and every pair of eyes in the room were on me.

I didn't expect to seek their attention. I just happen to blurt out any reason, but I guess they bought it, but I don't think my mom did.

"This day is so bad," luna Shina heavily sighs, trying to suppress her tears from falling in front of the guests. Matteo keeps looking in my way while comforting his mother, but all I do is smile at him.

"No need to luna, it's just a miracle I happen to cross them in time on the way."

My smile keeps growing wider and wider. My mom furrows her brows at me, but I just remain that smile.

"Eric."

We turn to Elle, who held on to her mate's waist then whisper something in his ear. He kisses her forehead with his hand resting on her stomach.

"Luna Shina as much as we wanted to stay, but my love and I need to go back to our pack," Alpha Gibson announced.

Luna Shina insists to provide them with everything and says that they owe it to them, but the Alpha wouldn't agree. Beta Lucian disappeared outside to ready their vehicles. My mom held my hand, squeezing it tightly.

Luna Elle walk in our way, "so your mom told me that you're applying to one of our College?"

"Yes, luna," I answer with excitement at her

"Oh, don't," she leans forward to whisper in my ear, "just call me Elle," then she said aloud, "can't wait to see you again."

She winks then keeps rubbing her stomach. "Eric darling," she called Alpha Gibson who is talking with Alpha Hernandez, and by hearing her call he turns and got to her right away.

"That Alpha is whipped," Alera coo in our links then go all girly on the lovely couple before us.

Everyone went out to see them off. Cora narrows her eyes with two fingers pointing to her eyes than to me while following behind her brother.

It was just me and Matteo after having that fake smile on his face he turned to me looking pissed.

He then pulls me into a secluded room. "What the hell were you telling them?" He almost shouted to me. "It should have been me saving you. What kind of a sick lie you're playing here?" He punches the wall near me.

Folding my arms, I laugh a little in mockery, "honey, you can only be a hero in Quinn's life, not mine, as when it comes to me, I am a hero of my own life. You, I cannot let you be one in it."

I push him aside opening up the door and went back to the living room. I heard something shattered then a bang.

"Adassah," his voice gives me a chill, but I kept on walking. His footsteps were getting near "Adassah," he whispered yell.

l was to shout back at him for being annoying when a voice interrupts us making him stop 2 meters away.

"Oh, Matteo," Quinn in tears run into his arms. Strangely I felt something twist within in me. It's like I wanted to rip her off of our mate while Alera as expected buff in disappointment, wanting to be released and kill Quinn.

He looks as if he's going to push her away but once he saw me staring at them. He suddenly embraces her tightly before pulling her back and kissing her full on the lips.

Alera kept clawing her paws as she is furious at Quinn but not her ass mate while I the idiot felt something strange building up within me.

"You're getting jealous." Alera purr in our links.

"No," I almost shouted out loud refusing to admit it, and turn to go outside where the others are.
