Claimed By The Rogue Alpha novel Chapter 77

==Matteo==

9:13 pm

I held a wolf by its throat, pinning it to the wall. I had punched the hell out of him and he was almost lifeless now. But I wasn't done. I'd make sure I snuff the life out him.

And so, my hands held his neck like a vice, tightening as seconds rolled by.

His eyes began to glaze over and just when I was about to deliver a deathly blow, someone called my name.

"Macini!" I frowned. Who dared to call me by my last name. I delivered the intended blow on the wolf, watching it slip to the floor.

I was startled the moment I turned around.

"Oh, you recognise me. Good riddance."

Not much of that was the truth, because the reason behind my surprise wasn't this jerkass standing before me, but Olivia.

I growled, "Let go of her now."

"Who? Oh, her?" He laughed. The sound grate my ears. "Nah, she won't appreciate that."

My frown deepened. The fool was messing with me. I attempted taking a step forward when Olivia spoke.

"Don't." There was something strange about her voice. It felt dead. "You're done enough."

"Olivia, I told you to stay in my room."

"And she did," the douche responded. "She did, asshole. Like the puppet you turned her to be."

"And who the fuck are you?" I shot. My voice uncharacteristically high.

"See it, Olivia. Told ya. The old bastard never changes." He stole a side glance at Olivia who just stared at emptiness. What did he do to her? "Well, Matteo, lemme do you the honours. Standing before you is Lyons Taylor Fredrickson. The guy that'd have been an uncle to your child."

"What nonsense."

"But there's a lot of sense, Matteo. Peggy, you remember her, right? Eight years isn't that much of a time for a xiene, that he forgets things."

Realisation dawned on me in the worst possible way. My entire system shut down.

"You've done enough, Matteo. You've hurt a lot of lives. Today is the day of reckoning."

I found myself in that tight situation, such that I couldn't move, couldn't speak couldn't even react even as a white wolf leapt out from the maze and charged towards Olivia.

Everything happened in a flash. With Olivia acting like she didn't hear the advancing wolf and Lyons walking menacingly to me. I stared as the wolf shoved his teeth on Olivia's neck. She gasped. That sound from her tore me from my catatonic state.
