: Escape
Matteo's Pov
We sat there in the car's back seat holding on to each other.
It has been an hour since we stay like this. Mostly talking and I am surprised to know she's taking a risk for me by going behind her mother's back.
I felt a little bit of guilt in taking advantage of her for a while.
Here she was so invested with our Mate bond. She's willing to give up everything just for us to be together.
This got me wondering why her mother did not want us to be together. It also brought me back to my father's question on the status of my relationship with Adassah.
It made me curious that after tonight I'll make sure to find out about it.
Adassah has asked me sometimes if my friends or Quinn knew about us but I lie to her that they didn't.
Yet all of my friends already have known about it and are aware that this is just for me to break the mighty to goody Adassah.
Some part of me wanted this and I'm sure of it as these past few days without her replying to my texts and answering my calls did drive me insane.
Yet what she did just an hour ago still doesn't settle well with me.
The trust I thought I could have with my mate, now gone, and the love that I was starting to feel for her is now filled with doubt.
If I am to accept and let her in completely is she going to do her worst?
So no, I won't let her in easily not until she begs me on her knees to love her as a mate.
I kept on thinking as I held on to her. Her head on my chest with her hands gripping my shirt.
Thunder is telling me through our link that I should be grateful that she did come back but I am mad as hell.
To think back at it once again, honestly, I was willing to drop Quinn for her. I did plan to break things off completely with Quinn.
I just needed Adassah to confirm her feelings for me. Indeed, right when I'm about to tell her everything she just stabs me right there.
Adassah fucking broke the other half of my heart completely right there when she walk without turning back even when I plead with her not to.
The pain of watching her go increases when Thunder growls through our links trying to push over me to take over and mark her right here.
I didn't give him control that's why I fell crying while at the same time feeling more pain because of Thunder and her.
She has shown me her other side which I assume when I first met her in the mall.
I could never forget how she holds my gaze and glare at me. Adassah is one cruel mate and that doesn't make me any different.
Somehow the moon goddess just pairs up two heartless souls together and I'm sure she's more interested to know who would be the last man standing with a smile if my mate and I are ever into this war of love.
"I'm sorry" she whispers and I kissed her on the forehead telling her that it was okay yet it wasn't okay for me at all.
"Alpha" the Beta links me
"Inmate 65 has to Escape the cell."
My heart raced with the mentioning of a dangerous prisoner in our dungeon.
"I'll be there" I gently push Adassah away from me "what's wrong?" she asks. "Pack trouble" I reply then took out my phone from my jean pocket which I have put in silent mode.
I check it and saw 20 missed calls. I curse trying to open the door then I heard Adassah cursing out even more.
"What?" she just fiddles with the car door handle to be open I stop her
"What’s going on?"
"I am supposed to be at home before 8 pm" she was nervous and so I grab her by the front of her dress and kiss her.
We let go and got out from the back seat. She quickly went to the driver's side then she looks back at me. "Aren't you getting in? I can get you near the packhouse so that my dad or mom won't catch us."
I smile when she suggested that. It's obvious that we're werewolves and I can get there by myself quickly.
Yet, here is my mate caring about me while I have been thinking about doing bad things to punish her. For that little act she played on me previously and all other evil thoughts I have towards her.
"No" I stride towards her "go on I'll follow behind. I'll just watch your back in case someone tries to attack you" I give her a long kiss before pulling away "come on, let's go."
I ran behind her car in the woods in my wolf form. She was on the main road while I was in the woods not just far from her so that anyone could barely see me.
If inmate 65 has escaped, then I need to be more alert and be smart in every move and decision I make.
Once I know she's in the safe zone. I made my way quickly as possible to the packhouse.
I shifted when I arrived there with the beta handing me a short that I quickly put on.
We went straight to the dungeon and find our Gamma Holland and Delta Cabrillo standing behind Lyndon who was on his hunches with his right hand touching on the ground.
"Alpha" I nod my head towards the two standing.
Lyndon stood up from the ground "Alpha" he started but then he stops before he could say anything further.
The other three in the cell seem rigid and the atmosphere was a little bit tense. I may be just an acting Alpha but I could still sense the intensity within this cell dungeon between the four men.
"Lyndon, anything from your side" he nods his head no "best if Beta Augustus would give you the full details." I turn to the other three and ask them to wait for me in the office.
They all left except for Lyndon and me. He was to walk out when I stop him "Lyndon" he stops in his tracks.
"The man in here seems to know you so well. If I could recall our first encounter with the prisoner down here when my father took me to see him" I saw his body froze.
I knew then something is going wrong here and I'm the only idiot who doesn't know it but my father seems to hide it pretty well.
I am usually the first one to get ahead of everyone but I guess I got caught up with my mate and Quinn that made me slack a little bit behind.
"He's an old friend who has chosen to become an enemy, which I could only explain but you need to talk to your father for the full details. All I know is he's too dangerous to everyone"
I recall the man sneers comment on his daughter and wife this made thunder growl a little.
Lyndon took a step but then he stopped again "Alpha, it's strange that I recently smell my daughter's scent when you're around." This time it was my turn to be stunned but I was quick to take action to diminish any suspicion.
"She's never a friend but my friends and Quinn have been recently becoming her friends. So I guess whenever they are around her they always brought her scent and somehow it lingers on me."
He shook his head understanding my reason more like an explanation then he went out.
I sigh in relief when I have made that stupid excuse to escape as I was afraid to be caught again.
