Lie To Me Alpha novel Chapter 26

"Bye grandma"

I hug her tightly "I am so gonna miss you" we both whisper to each other before getting into the car and made my way home.

This weekend was one of the best as I enjoy every moments of it with my grandma and Matteo.

I know but we did have fun together without being Mate but just neighbour.

My grandma told me he left early for our pack. Ever since that night I kick his balls Matteo never made a snide comment but he always teases me about the p...word and mating.1

The music was in high volume making me groove to it. The rain suddenly starts to pour and I kind of speed up the car.

Everything was okay not until I take a look at my phone as it notification shown that it is shutting down soon.

I turn up to find a figure standing in the middle of the road with a hooded cloak like those monks back in the days wore making my car stops all of the sudden.

The loud screeching of the flats were heard and my head almost hit the steering wheel. I took a deep breath and turn up to find nothing at all.

I felt goosebumps on my skins and my back hair stood up. My car shook as if something or someone is making it moves then I look through the rear-view mirror to check and finds nothing.

My heart kept hammering in a quick beat while my wolf Alera keeps on growling through our links.

It stops all of a sudden even the rain that was heavily pour. Shaking away my fear I try to start the ignition but it won't start.

I start it again and again yet it still doesn't work. I can't believe my car broke down in the middle of the main road and there were no sign of any other cars around.

My phone battery died and I have no other ways of communication. Just a silent prayer not to encounter with the rogues or any other hunters or even the person I thought I've seen minutes ago.

I sat there in the car waiting for a miracle to happened. Closing my eyes with my fingers tapping on the steering wheel, Alera keeps telling me to run back home but I can't risk being in dangerous. I'm far from home now and what just happened earlier still gives me bad vibes.

'Tad tad'

A knock on my window made me almost jump. I look outside with worried and found my crazy mate standing there.

He waves at me and I roll down the window "need help?"

I want to refuse but now is not a good time. Matteo is my only option and I wonder what he was doing here I thought he left earlier for our territory.

"My car broke down" I told him and opened up the door to get out.

He open the hood checking the engine "can you start it again" he calls me and went to start it but it won't.

He bend down then back up closing the hood "you need to cool the engine?"

"for how long?"
