: Last Night
I woke up with no sign of Matteo. I sat there on my bed with tears from my eyes.
Alera hates me for what I did but I kept on telling her that it was just a dream.
I must be dreaming I thought to myself then I felt a cold metal in my right palm.
Opening my palm, I saw the promise ring he gave me. It was beautifully made with little white diamonds surrounding it and a medium diamond in the middle.
Admiration was the word I would say this moment when looking at this ring.
Then reality hits me that everything wasn't a dream. Matteo was here and I almost kill him not until I saw those green eyes again and that face whom I use to dream of every day.
I felt this urge to throw the ring away but since he said it belongs to his grandma I have respect for that and keep it.
'Then what if it's a lie' my subconscious reminded me but again I still hold on to that hope that my mate was being sincere and he meant every word he says.
Alera on the other hand was determined that what Matteo says was true. She said she talks to Thunder, his wolf and he confirms that his human side truly meant every word of his promise.
Reaching for my draw I pull out my jewelry box and took out my necklace. It was a gift from my parents so I slide the ring to it before putting it on my neck.
Jumping out of bed I went and look myself over the mirror touching the necklace and the ring on my chest.
My thoughts wonder how many girls are out there who believe their mate's words easily.
I remember I used to be the one who vows on not to let any man walk over me but now my words seem to throw back in my face because Matteo did break my heart.
I understand now why it is so easy to believe because when you fell deeply in love there is nothing else you would do except believe in that person.
I heard screams from downstairs outside of the house. I quickly run down knowing that it was Gia and Cora.
I open the door "what? Come next time this house is close" I jokingly open it wide and before I close it they both tackle me on the ground.
"Ahhh get your ass off of me?" I scream over the top of my lungs and they both giggle.
"I'm pretty sure if it was a guy you wouldn't be saying that right Adassah" Gia wiggle her brows and Cora nodded her head in agreement
"Tsk Tsk bad Addy," she winks
"Oh to hell with that, you two are too heavy and you are both crushing my poor bones" I dramatically push them off and they both narrow their eyes which made me laugh.
"YAH then go look for new friends" Cora dramatically throw back her hair.
"There’s no need to look for one; being alone is not so bad at all" I poke out my tongue to them like a child.
"Touché" they both fan their face with their hands and I couldn't stop myself from laughing.
"Oh come on, you know you're my only two besties in this whole werewolf world"
"Liar you're going to have new ones there" they both pretend to not believe me.
"They wouldn't take your place" Cora pushes herself up "damn right, now let's go kick some balls" and we laugh again.
My parents arrived with nana Gloria when it was getting pretty dark.
"Grandma" I hug her almost knocking her down. "Hoi, you almost got my back dislocated" she complains about a small laugh.
"I miss you"
"And I to you my dear" I lead her on the couch.
We all gather around talking to each other. My grandma told us about mom's most embarrassing moments in life and my dad couldn't help but laugh.
Gia and Cora join me and my mom was hitting my dad's chest with embarrassment.
My mom went to fix dinner with grandma and I head upstairs to my room to get a cardigan as I was getting cold.
I am in my room when I hear a light knock on the door. "Come in" my dad walk inside and close the door behind him.
"He was here right?" I wanted to lie but he goes on "I know Matteo was here" he sat beside me taking my hands in his.
"If you love him then you have every right to do so. He's your mate and doesn't blame yourself for falling in love. It wasn't any of your faults that you guys are paired up" he kisses my forehead.
"As for your mother, you should understand a mother's instinct; she didn't want you to get hurt but know she loves you so much and support every choice you made."
The door opens and my mom stood there. I run up to her hugging her tightly telling her how much I love her and their dad.
After our emotional moments, we went back downstairs and straight to the kitchen where nana Gloria and the girls are.
Grandma is telling them about the food she cooks and both girls were sitting around the table with their expression which screams ahhhh then oh can't wait to taste it.
We have our dinner then later on grandma wanted to talk to me. We talk for almost an hour.
She was telling me that she knew Matteo and I are mates but didn't want to interfere with our lives.
We didn't talk much of Matteo instead she gave me advice and encouraged me to be brave and know that everything will heal in time.
Afterward, I went and kiss my parents’ goodnight then spend the whole night chatting, laughing, playing dare games, and then ended up watching a movie.
Following that the girls went to bed but I wasn't sleeping.
My fingers still brush and play with the ring on my neck with my thoughts on him.
I push my legs towards my chest hugging them there while I watch the moon outside with my hands still on his ring.
"He promised, Alera" I link her "he promised"
Feeling a confidence rise through me with a determination that he has made me a promise I whisper to myself.
"I can't wait to be back after four years" that I kiss his ring.
