Matteo's POV
Quinn squirms in my arms as my father made it clear to our pack. If by next week, I haven't found my mate, then Quinn would be my luna. She grabs onto my shirt, holding me tight against her with a smile on her face.
My wolf Thunder whimpers through our link, begging me to turn to our mate. To go to her side and give her a little comfort.
Hating him for bothering me, I turn and found her eyes on me.
Thunder knew her wolf was crying, and I could see it. Yet I won't fall for those tears. Quinn is my one and only, the only woman that the moon goddess has sent in my way.
My mate, she has everything that a guy would like. Her beauty, yeah she's a beauty with that long raven hair above her waist and those sapphire eyes you could dream over.
Any guy would love to be her boyfriend, I mean my best friend Jay is an example of it.
He is head over heels for her, also not forgetting Kevin who is Quinn's brother.
The one that almost loses his cool today because of her. Indeed, later when we were out of school, compound the only thing he does is praise her beauty.
He even told Quinn that Adassah was way more beautiful than her and that my girl Quinn could not be compared with Adassah in any form.
So she may be the beauty queen, but Quinn is the queen of my heart. Plus, her attitude boils my brain. I hate the way she raises her head and talks back to my friends and me.
I especially hate her when she disrespects my girl today. When her mother asks me to pick her up, I almost lose my head but Thunder was way too eager to go pick her up.
When we were in the car, he tries to caress her cheek. I try not to be affected by her, I could feel our bond, but I pushed it away.
I wish I was the only one who could control my body, mind, and soul but being a werewolf, you can't own it all by yourself.
Turning away from her, I look up ahead to my father.
When everyone went home, I pull Quinn inside one of the guest rooms, asking her if she could be patient with me for a month. I told her I found my mate, but I don't want to mate her, I didn't exactly give away her name either.
There's something I need to do within that month before fully mating Quinn.
I know I told Adassah I don't want to reject her because, at the time, I thought I could break up with Quinn and mate her. Yet plans change, I couldn't live without Quinn, my heart is all hers.
For this one month, I might need to teach my mate a lesson. Quinn understands me, she has also supported my idea, and she's willing to wait within that one month.
After our talk and a make-out session on the couch, I dropped him off at home before going back to look for my parents.
I knock on their bedroom door, but none answer it, and right when I was about to go meet up with the guys, I heard voices from my dad's office.
Taking a deep breath, I told myself to be ready. I have been practicing this scenario on my head on my way home after dropping off Quinn.
'Here goes nothing' I mutter under my breath.
"You can't do that to me." I enter the office, slamming the door behind me and hurling a near chair towards the wall.
"Father, one week that's too early," he sat there with calm while I am like a banshee who's losing his mind here.
"Give me one month, and then I'll mate and mark Quinn,"
My father groans, "why do you need one month?" my mother asks.
"Do you still live in that hope of your mate?" my father growl a little.
Yes, if anyone is wondering why my father is saying it. Well, he is not fond of the idea of having a Mate. He hates that word, because his Mate, my real mother left him and me when I was young.
Shina is not my real mother, everybody thought she's his Mate, and the woman who left him with a child is his girlfriend.
"No, I don't want a Mate, you know that I love Quinn," Shina shook her head in disapproval.
"You should want a Mate." she pressed on.
"No, I don't" I clench my fist tight, hating to discuss this with her.
"Then why do you need a month" my father raises his voice at me.
"Please, Dad, I just needed. Give me one month, and then I'll become the Alpha that you always want me to be."
He seems to be thinking for a while, "very well. We'll do what you want, but it's by the end of this month. I'll contact each and everyone again that the ceremony for next week is canceled," he says.
"Thank you, Dad" Shina whips her head towards the window side, "wanna tell us why you need it?" I just nod my head no and went out of the office.
I walk up the stairs when Thunder growl through our links, "I know what you're trying to do, and you better not do it," he snarls at me.
'You can't stop me,' I retort.
He thrashes around in my head, "don't hurt them, they don't deserve any pain," but I refuse to listen.
My mind is already set on what to do, and there is no way Thunder can stop me from doing it because I love Quinn.
"So you won't hurt her?" Thunder asks through our link.
"You can't stop me Thunder," he hisses at me, "then I can't wait for the day you regret it. I will gladly watch you die on that day."
Being angry with me, he closes off our link, not even bothering to listen anymore.
My mind is set, and no one can stop me, not even my wolf.
