Chapter 86: Cold Feet

Matteo's pov

I look at myself in the mirror over a million times "I don't deserve her" I mutter adjusting my tie.6

I'm pretty nervous for tonight, it may not be our mating ceremony but I'm scared too. What if everything
goes wrong.

"You're damn right about that ass hole" I turn to find Jay smirking at me

"you don't match up with her, shrek."

He teases me and I narrow my eyes as he walk inside the room closing the door behind him.

"Who the fuck is that?" I spat and he retort "the ogre in a cartoon for kids" I frown still not knowing it.

"Dude, it's a movie by the humans" shaking my head because of his childish joke Jay snorted and
stops before me. "Chill out Matt, everything is set now" he says then pat me on the shoulder.

"Don't worry about tonight and just introduce your woman, you lucky bastard. I swear if you're thinking
of bailing on this then it's your loss bro" he joke and I glare at him in return.

I sigh heavily "what's wrong?" he ask with concern to me. "I'm scared" I told him honestly "I know I
should be happy but why do I feel sad and scared on this day?" I started to pace around.

Jay held me in place by holding my shoulders together "everything is going to be fine trust me Matt" he
said with determination.

"You think?" I ask unsure and he nod his head to confirm. I sigh straightening my shirt before walking
out of the room and down the stairs.



My pack members greeted me down the foyer then we move inside the dining hall. Everyone has made
their presence tonight making me more nervous of introducing her tonight.

"Hello Alpha," one of an elder in our pack came up to me. "I hope you don't mind me asking; what's the
occasion tonight?" I smile gawking my head to look at the door and see if Addasah has arrived.

"Well, Mr. Orlando, I believe that would ruin the surprise tonight," I smile at him.

"Matt" her voice send shivers to my whole body and abruptly I turn around and the sight of her blew me
away. I didn't care of anyone else but I just went up to her and kiss her on the lips. I am not claiming
anything just me being a boy in love.

Mr. Orlando gave us a smile and he strutted towards us knowingly "well, this is amazing. It's nice to
have you tonight luna" he extended his hand and Addasah took it politely.

"Finally you got some balls now Alpha" he joke making Addasah laugh in return.

I squeeze her waist lightly and she looks at me biting her lip. 'Okay please don't tempt us' Thunder
groan through our links.

After sometime when everyone is seated I stood up from the head of the table to make a toast and to
announce her as my official luna.

"I made some mistakes in the past which you all know and are aware of. There was only one that was
never a mistake and the moon goddess happens to made her my other half. I know I told you on the
night after the attack but I would love to reintroduced her again," I gesture for Addasah to come and
standby me.

"She's the one that stole my heart and is chosen to be our luna as it is her rightful place. I hope you will
all show her the same love and protection I am giving to her. Please everyone meet and welcome your



luna and my mate Addasah Natasha Rumanoff" everyone applause in enthusiastic.

They all stood up as Addasah takes my arms with a drink on her other hand. She kiss me on the cheek
before facing our pack.

"I wouldn't say I am a perfect luna but I will give my all to standby Matteo and our Pack. I will only strive
for the betterment of our pack and protect you all as you have done to me. Indeed, I cannot do that if
you don't give me a chance. So I hope you'll give me that chance. To the Moonstone Pack and to our
future"

Again everyone applaud with smile on their faces. Everything went smooth as I expected Addasah on
the other hand converse with our pack members freely and everyone looks on with happiness on their
face of meeting their new luna even though they have known her.

When the night is done Addasah took Wesley to bed and then she came over to my room. We just
cuddle and talk about how she enjoy the night and how she didn't expect for everyone to accept her
whole heartedly.

After she fell asleep in my arms I pull the duvet over her and made my way to the office. I knock on
Lyndon's door lightly and he opened it within a second.

He was still on his long sleeve shirt and pants that he wore over dinner tonight. It seems like he hasn't
been asleep yet and I wonder what's got him up.

"I need to talk to you" I said nervously and he nod his head in agreement. We made it to the office after
5 minutes and then I pull out a whisky and two glass.

Yes I definitely need this for our talk tonight. I don't know how he'll take it but I am doing what is right. I
offer him a glass and he refuse then I take I gulp it one go. I totally need this before I tell him what I
wanted to do.



After gulping down three shots I take a breathe and blurted "I want to confess her about everything, will
that be alright with you sir?"

Lyndon rub his face as he is thinking then his hand reach out for the whisky in front of us. He pour it
into his glass and take a shot then we sat there for another minute without speaking to one another.

"I have been waiting for you to say that. I know I was the one who told you not to at the beginning but I
have to be sure of you too. We don't know what my daughter decide to do.

I have been watching her progress but I still don't know what she will do cause she's her only person.
So let me ask this again; are you ready?" he raise his brow at me and without doubt I response with a
yes.

"Good cause honestly I wanted you to be ready too before we tell her. You have to face the
consequences but you can't face it if you're not ready." I nod my head in agreement and Lyndon stood
up from the couch and came on to my side.

He embrace me muttering "I'm happy for you son" I almost burst in tears when I hear him saying son.2

It means a lot to me to hear him say it and especially when it's genuine. Well as everyone knows my
mother left me when I was young and my dad wasn't even a father at all to me lately. He's on a mission
to destroy my mate, her family and I.

Lyndon pat me on the back lightly before pulling away and gave me one last reassuring nod with a
smile before he left me in the office.

I sigh in relief with tears cascading from my eyes. I am so happy that I just couldn't wait for tomorrow to
come and for me to be rid off all of my guilt.



Therefore, tonight there is nothing more for me to do than to kiss her freely in bed and her to mine in
my dreams tonight. Whatever she choose I'll respect it and hold on to my heart that belongs and beats
for my Addasah only.

I turn off the lights in my office and about to walk out when Evan burst in the door.

"Alpha" he struggled to breathe hard.

The reaction on his face wash away all the happiness from me and before he could say anything
further the emergency alarm went on.
