: True or Not
I heard her best friend congratulating her over the phone for their mating tonight when I passed by them again.
Suddenly I pretend to be sick so that I can leave the school compound to go straight to where the game is held.
I quickly text Gia for the location and she told me it's at Belford's College campus. I call an uber which arrived 5 minutes later to pick me up.
On my way there, Alera was howling with sadness within me but I knew I have to be strong.
I made it there on time and saw their schoolmate howling in victory.
Their game was just finished and they won against Kings College so they haven't left yet.
I bust through the crowd behind the bleachers in my school uniform. All eyes were on me but I just ignored them all.
I found one of his minions by the end of the hallway flirting with Quinn his precious girlfriend, her eyes shine with brightness. I wanted to kill her but first, off I need to confront him.
"Excuse me where's Matteo?" I ask the other kid on my way as I was avoiding being caught by the other two.
He pointed to a secluded door which none other than the boys’ Locker room. I follow the direction he pointed me and once inside, then comes the whistle and howling.
Yet, my eyes were focused in front as some guys were trying to cover their upper body while others were showing off their abs proudly.
"When were you going to tell me?" I held back my tears with my finger pushing at his chest my eyes holding his gaze.
"Was it before or after you mated with her tonight?"
He looks around signaling to others with a nod and they understood because suddenly the coast was clear.
It's me and him alone in the boys changing room.
The room was filled with intense but I didn't care or was fear of the probability of him murdering me in there.
"Tell me everything is not true? what Quinn says is not true?" I keep on pleading to him.
"Please Matteo tell me you're not mating her" I held his hand but he pulls his hand away.
He scoffs turning around drying his hair with a towel then banging. I jump up a little. He has slammed his locker door open then grabs a shirt and pulls it over him.
"Did you hear what I just said?" he ignores me.
Pulling out his phone he quickly types on it then said to me "I heard you loud and clear and if that's all you're here for, then leave."
I felt like I want to cry, even more, worse his words have gotten into me crushing all my bones and killing every cell of my being.
"Excuse me, what did you just say?"
"You heard me and yes it's true I'm mating her tonight."
I stumbled back to a bench near the locker.
"I may not know what other things she said but yes what my Quinn says is true" he glares at me after he finishes saying it.
"No" I shook my head in disbelief "so it is true, you did it on purpose, didn't you? You make me fall for you on purpose and all along you were going to mate her. You knew what you're doing, didn't you? How could you?" I tried to wipe off my tears.
"How could you do this to me, you said you love me but now I know you never did. How dare you?" I sob.
He threw me a handkerchief "dry those tears it won't stop our mating" he walks towards the door leaving me there to cry.
I couldn't take the pain away that before he opened it I ran up to him pushing him forward then kept on hitting him. Screaming I hate you even though my fist doesn’t have any effect on him until I grew tired.
I try to hit him again but he held my wrist commanding me and my wolf to stop or he will kill us. He even has the nerve to tell me to pretend that us never happens.
Alera immediately submits to his order numbing my whole body from fighting him, and I guess he is still acting on behalf of his father as an Alpha.
He opens the door and went out without giving up and much thought to anything I said. I follow behind him still in tears and scream
"I rejected you."
Everything fell in silence, I look up and see everyone in his team’s eyes on me with shock. I couldn't believe that they have been airdropping on us.
Matteo swirl around looking back at me and his eyes fill with fury. Quinn run and stood before him trying to calm him down
"You will not reject me, as your future Alpha and mate I command you to take it back" his voice thundering around the hall.
"No Matteo, you may submit Alera to you but you can never submit me physically to you. I can say whatever my mouth wants to say, I can walk wherever I want to go and my body can do whatever it wants without submitting to you."
My voice was filled with determination not stopping there I continued.
"And as you have just said, I’m your mate supposed to be the future luna of this pack so no. I reject you Acting Alpha Matteo Evan Reed"
I abruptly turn around with tears clouding my vision and push through the other boys to go out.
I am deeply hurt and devastated by him still sobbing I kept bumping into the people and out in the field I run to get out of there.
I heard feminine voices calling my name from somewhere in the crowd, I knew they belong to my friends but I kept ongoing.
"I'm sorry" I apologize while crying "I'm sorry." I almost stumbled into another group of boys in their football uniform probably the King's College boys.
"Hey, you okay?" Kevin grabbed my arm but I pushed him away and continued to run.
A ferocious growl was heard not too far from me and all of a sudden I was being held by the wrist then turned around.
People's eyes were on us as they have made ways to the furious Alpha's son who storms among them with much authority.
I look up into his stormy eyes which tell me this isn't good.
Before I could defend and react to his actions, he bares out his fang and digs them onto my neck.
