: Territorial
Matteo's Pov
After she passes out on me I carry her back to the house. Her father came running out of the Packhouse and once he saw her limp in my arms. He growls at me but Thunder and I were also in a possessive mode.
"What happened?"
"My father" I replied and could see his eyes turning from hazel to dark red as if he's fighting control with his beast.
I quickly link Jay to come and get Adassah. I hand her carefully over to him then I turn to Lyndon taking him by the arm and with our werewolf's speed we made it to an empty cell.
"Close it fast" I shut the cell door immediately and waited outside as I listen to his howls and strong banging on the walls.
He went on for hours until I don't hear it anymore. I know I have to fix this tomorrow as by the look of it one more blow and the walls will tumble down.
I open up the door and find Lyndon in sweat on the floor panting heavily like he has been running a marathon. I help him up and took him back to the Packhouse.
Afterward, I went on to check on the sleeping Adassah before I head down to my office. I keep on tapping my finger on the desk trying to control myself from going all wolf in my office.
I hated that they have hurt her and it was my fault. I should have stepped in the room and put an end to their scheme but I was so foolish to lead them on. In the end, they hurt and has caused her a panic attack.
The door to the office opens and Jay walks in along with my other two trackers and two warriors.
I know Jay is responsible for our trackers and that is why he came but the warriors Lyndon would have taken their place if he was on duty he wasn't because he was looking after Wesley for tonight.
"Alpha" one of the warriors says with their head in a bow. I could sense that they fear me and what they are about to say will determine their lives.
My pack knows that I'm not my father but I can be heartless when I want to especially when they don't do their duties right. "Sure, I am listening," I said and waited for anyone to answer.
One of them looked up and there I could see that he is not only in fear but is also in a cold sweat while fiddling with his hands.
"We have lost track of Roman when we went after him," the warrior says "and I couldn't track him down even his locations and whereabouts" one of the trackers finishes and they quickly lower their head again.
"We'll take any punishment Alpha," they all said in unison.
Closing my eyes, I held my fist tighter "you may dismiss" I said through my gritted teeth. They weren't told twice and somehow I wasn't mad at them but myself.
I glance up to find Jay still there I have him a nod and tell him to not punish anyone.
Once the door closes I smash my fist on the table before flipping it over and destroying everything that I could reach in this office. I let out all my hate towards my father for hurting my mate and ruining my life until I grew tired and felt my emotions overtake me.
I slid down there crying over everything. The faults I made, the choice I choose, the actions I take, and the fuck up life I have. When I am calm I went straight to Adassah's room taking her in my arms and lay there on the bed with her.
I know it's wrong to do this without her permission but I just need closure with her after what happened tonight.
Shutting my eyes I wish I was time. So that I could take everything back and starts my life over with my mate. I wanted to go back on the day I met her in the mall on the escalator.
Those sapphire eyes that held my gaze with glare and tardily turn away from me we're the same ones I wish to be mine forever.
I wanted to believe that she'll stay if her memories are back but some part of me knows better than that.
So therefore I hope when tomorrow comes and her memories aren't back then this man will give her all the love she deserves. The love which she should be receiving from the beginning, but I was too naive, too blind, and stupid to do so.
I then apologize to Thunder for not being the perfect human and to my sleeping woman for not being the perfect man for her. Thereafter I went into a deep slumber.
I woke up in startle and look around to find Adassah missing. I frantically got up to look for her yet when I look out of the window and find my pack members on the field I became confused.
'I wonder what’s going on I ask myself
'Dude, don't tell me you forgot your plan and strategy' Thunder covers his face with his paws.
I try to think 'plan, strategy' and that's when it hit me today's training and I should be the one leading it. I cursed rushing to my room to take a shower and change into shorts and a tank top before rushing downstairs.
"Alpha your breakfast," one of our cooks calls but I just keep on running to the field and link her that I'll go without breakfast today.
I pass over the youngsters and saw my mate in her long line bra which exposes a little of her skin and high waist black leggings.
My eyes were on her but my legs are moving in another direction.
"Fuck she's hot," I gush at Thunder who rolls his eyes at me. She looks up and I curse to myself when I almost trip. I saw her laugh and I turn back and quicken my way over the training.
"You're late Alpha" Lyndon quirks his brow at me and I turn to find Jay chuckling.
"Do you want your team?"
"No we'll train altogether just for today" he nods his head and we continue with our training.
We were resting after five long hours and all our attention was on the youngsters who are still doing their training. I saw the young boys giggling around her. Three of them around the age of fourteen weren't even listening. One is pointing at her and then they murmured to each other ears.
It's funny when I felt a little bit jealous of the young boys staring at her that I want to go there and give them a hiding. I sigh with dislike and look around to find most of the boys in our training drooling over her. They were shamelessly checking her out.
I was jealous and mad right now that I couldn't even hold back any longer and turn to the boys.
"If your eyes are stalking my woman then I suggest you look elsewhere" I raise my voice and then I hear coughs and whistles from around.
"Our Alpha is getting-" someone started and I intercepted "shut it and don't even think of saying anything else."
I stood up and came to face with Evan who smirks at me raising his hand in front of his chest. Adassah's dad shifted uncomfortably beside Jay and I turn to walk towards Adassah.
They all acknowledge me and I snake my hands around her waist then kiss her on the cheek. "You may dismiss now" I order and when she is to protest the kids have scattered to go home.
She pushes me on the chest lightly "now that was not nice Alpha" I pull her close to me. "What's not nice when I am here to ask my mate out on a date" she giggles in my arms.
"What makes you think I want to go on this date with you?" she crossed her arms and I pull her closer then beg her to go on a date with me today.
Finally, after her teasing me by saying no she finally nodded her head yes and conceal it with a kiss.
We were about to go get ready when I felt a tiny hand pulling at my shorts. Adassah and I look down to find a four-year-old kid. He's cute with his chubby cheeks and brunette hair.
"Is she your woman?" he asks
"Well, indeed she is" my hand is around her waist and I smiled at her.
The pup frowns after I say that and then he started to cry. I crouch down to calm him when his mother came over.
"Sorry Alpha" she reaches for him while apologizing but I told her it was okay.
Unexpectedly the little pup just pushes her hands away and huff at me crossing his arms. His tears were now long gone and are replaced with a glare.
He didn't look scary but rather so cute.
"Alfa she going to be my woman in da few char" his mother's eyes widen and apologizes again instantly.
Adassah lightly laughs at me and I frown at the pup. "It looks like you got yourself a competition Alpha" she winks at me and runs towards the house laughing.
I groan hating that a kid is competing with me "listen here, kid." Jay who now stood beside me just pushes me over to go to the packhouse while laughing at the young pup.
Damn he must have heard it too
Sometimes afterward I waited for her down the corridor nervously as Adassah is preparing for our date.
"Are you trying to trigger her memories or taking advantage of my daughter?" I turn to Lyndon who watches me from the kitchen with Wes in his arms.
"No I'm not; I just want us to be two normal mates going on a date, without any fear of our past or future. I love her Lyndon I hope you understand that."
He pats me on the shoulder "I know and you may have made some mistakes but I won't judge you for that"
We heard clicks of heels and I turn up to find her standing on the staircase smiling down at us gracing us with her beauty.
"Wow, she is my forever"
