Tangled in a web of lies ever since her birth, Alta feels powerless. Until she meets him. Her soulmate.

I do, however, own Al...

Alta's point of view
We pushed open the doors of the Three broomsticks and went to a booth in a corner of the pub, away from prying eyes and ears. Delphini sat to the wall and I scooted next to her, Mattheo immediately sitting next to me. Pansy sat across from Delphini, practically devouring her with her green eyes. Enzo right next to her along with Theodore. Draco and Blaise grabbed chairs and sat at the end of the table considering there wasn't any space left on the benches.
The waitress came over to us and asked us what we wanted and we all ordered butterbeers, once again promising the twins they were going to love it. As soon as she left, conversations began between us, the boys arguing about the better looking girl this year and who would get to fuck her. The usual.
I rolled my eyes at their stupidity and exchanged a glance with Enzo who looked amused. He never took part in their conversations about girls and no one had seemed to catch on as to why. But I knew. Like him, I knew all his secrets. Well, except for him having siblings but considering their last name, I understood he must have been obligated to keep their existence a secret in order to protect them.
A warmth on my thigh caused me to look down at my lap, only to see the ringed hand of Mattheo casually resting there, just above my knee. I felt myself blushing a little and I discreetly looked at him, but his chocolate brown eyes were on the boys, listening to them talking about a redhead girl who's name they didn't know. I frowned a little when I noticed he wasn't saying anything, only nodding from time to time to let them know he was listening.
The thought that he wasn't participating because he wasn't interested in anyone both relieved and annoyed me. Of course, it was fucking wrong because I was still in a relationship, but considering who was my boyfriend, I didn't really feel remorse. Especially because I had tried to break up with him countless times. Everytime, he had beaten me up or guilt tripped me, threatening to kill himself if I left him.
He had even gone to Albus one time, crying to him that I had cheated on him with Enzo. That had earned me the big scar running down my back even if I hadn't done anything. As I said earlier, Albus will always pick Harry's side.
"You okay, love ?" Mattheo's breath tickled my ear as he whispered.
I blinked and focused my gaze on him before nodding and smiling softly. Delphini put her hand on my forearm and I turned to look at her.
"Are you sure ? We could go back if you want."
I smiled, grateful for them and their friendship, then I shook my head 'no'.
"I promise, I don't want to leave."
She hesitated before nodding and going back to her conversation with Pansy. The brunette shot me a worried look but I shook my head to let her know everything was fine. Thankfully, that's when the waitress brought our drinks.
