What was supposed to excite me? There was no reason for me to be happy was there? Although I smiled all the time, I wasn't exactly happy, I haven't gotten over my ugly past yet, and I don't think I would anytime soon. Well except with a miracle, a miracle which seems like it would never happen.
Yet here I was getting all excited and blushing over an alpha, my family was busy rotten under the ground, my mom, my dad, my whole pack, my baby sibling, they were all gone and won't be sharing this happy moment with me.
"Have you also started having nightmares during the daytime?" Mom asked.
I was lost in thought I didn't even notice when she walked in and I didn't even notice or see her walking into the room, the last thing I remembered was hearing a sharp knock on the door.
"I have been knocking for minutes without any replies, it was even your friend that opened the door and let me in, I hope you are fine. Did the nightmares not stop? Did they continue?" Mom asked these questions as she felt my temperature with her hand.
"I am sorry Mom, it wasn't the nightmares, it just hurt so much whenever I remember how my parents were brutally killed, cold-blooded like animals. Everyone was killed, not even a single soul was left, and yes Mom, the nightmares didn't stop, they never did", I said sadly.
Mom quickly sat beside me and started cuddling me gently, she rubbed her hands all over my back.
"All will be well my dear, everything is going to be fine", she assured me and I nodded.
"Aww that's cute", Hayden said as she placed the glass of juice on the table and walked towards us. "You both are so sweet, it's not like my mom and me, she and dad are always out on business trips, that's why I have to live with alpha Lucas", she added with a smile.
Hayden was about to say another word when a soft knock was heard on the door, the door opened gently and my brother Sam stuck his head in from the space he made on the door.
"Alpha Lucas is here to see you", he announced and I felt my heart jump for excitement.
"Me?" I asked excitedly and a frown formed on his face, I didn't wonder why, I always knew he had a crush on me.
"Why you? Or have you been seeing alpha Lucas behind our back?" He asked and I shook my head quickly, Mom turned to stare at me suspiciously while I exchanged glances with Hayden.
"Who then? Mom?" I asked again curiously.
"For your information, he is here to see his sister, I do not know why you think he has any business with anyone in this family", he said and scoffed, he still had this ugly frown on his face, he must have figured out I had a crush on alpha Lucas.
"And you", he started turning to Hayden. "Didn't you fix an appointment with your brother? Then you come up and sit here all day gossiping", he scolded Hayden and left angrily.
I quickly exchanged glances with Hayden and she winked at me.
Sam wouldn't compete with Alpha Lucas and that justified his annoyance towards Alpha Lucas, he was always angry whenever the name was mentioned.
Sam was the complete opposite of alpha Lucas, he was chubby, he had a female tiny voice but sounded like a generator whenever he was angry, and he was aggressive and unlikAlphaha Lucas was calm and sweet, he wasn't powerful either, he barely knows how to use his wolf powers.
"Should I ask him to come in for a bit....",
"Yes!" I chipped in excitedly not letting Mom finish her statement.
"I wasn't asking you, I was talking to Hayden instead", she replied and I bowed my head feeling a bit embarrassed, I wasn't even thinking straight.
"Yes Mom, I am sure he would like that", Hayden replied and winked at me, I smiled back at her.
~
"Thank you so much for having me in, thanks for the meal, it was delicious", Alpha Lucas thanked Mom as he was about to leave.
I was a bit sad, I had expected alpha Lucas to talk about me during the meal, but all through his stay in our house he didn't even turn to stare at me for a second talk about mentioning my name.
The only time he looked at me was when I greeted him and he replied, then quickly took his face away.
"Thanks for honoring my invitation", mom replied smiling. "I hope to have you around some other time", she quickly added and he nodded severally wearing a smile.
"How about me? Don't you hope to have me also some other time?" Hayden asked making a funny baby face.
"Of course I do, I always hope to, have you all the time", mom replied smiling.
"Aww, that's so sweet", she said with a broad smile "Lucas did you hear her? She said she hopes to have me all the time, but she only wants to have you some other time", Hayden teased alpha Lucas and a smile formed on his face.
Alpha Lucas's smile was so cute that it made my heart flutter, it made me want to kiss him that very moment, I wished so much that we were all alone so I would grab him and kiss him so badly.
Alpha Lucas's smile did something to my body, it made my heart flutter so much and made me wish I was his already.
"Right Sally?", Hayden tapped my shoulder bringing me back to reality, it was then I realized she had been talking to me all along and I was busy daydreaming about kissing alpha, Lucas.
"Sorry, come again", I said scratching my head.
"Once again you're lost", mom said and I wished the ground would open and swallow me, I looked over to alpha Lucas and for the first time today he was staring at me, his gaze was fixed on my face, and I felt as if he could see through me like he could read my mind and I wished the ground would just swallow me up.
Hayden turned me around and hugged me tightly, a whisper follows after. "He's staring at you so much, just pray he hasn't taken your clothes off in his mind", she whispers before releasing me and making a smile.
Her words triggered some feelings in me and I was still trying to process it when I heard Alpha Lucas's romantic voice call my name. "Sally".
ALPHA DEREK'S POV I sat on my king-sized and well-decorated chair, with all grace and honor, I looked around my subjects surrounding me waiting to hear my verdict. "Come closer", I beckoned to one of my guards who stood by my right. He walked up to me, bowed, and bent toward me. "Get him!" I ordered and he left, two other guards behind me walked ahead and left with him. I had ruled over the whole of the community, for years. I took after my father, the alpha of alpha's title had been with my family since no one could remember, and they had passed it to the next generation. Every single offspring from our lineage was super strong, we had never been defeated in any fight or whatever. Ruling over the whole community, strong packs, humans, vampires, animals, and every other creature including supernatural beings and normal human beings. They dragged an old man of about fifty-two years and made him stand a meter away from me with his head bowed and his hands folded behind his back.
SALLY'S POV I wasn't sure if I had heard correctly, if I was daydreaming once again, or? Was this happening, I decided not to think about it so much, so I wouldn't keep Alpha Lucas waiting. I turned to him quickly my heart racing faster than a running cheater, that was the most romantic thing I've heard all my life and it turned me on for real. "Can't I get a hug as well?" He asked fast trying to take his eyes off me, he had probably just realized he had been staring at me all over, the whole time. I turned to Mom for approval, she had never let me get close to any other guy that isn't Sam, she smiled and nodded which meant a go-ahead. I moved forward and hugged him, he hugged me back for close to five minutes before letting go. His scent, his warmth, his shoulders everything about him made me go wild, the hug lasted for a few minutes before he finally let go of me. After then I didn't see alpha Lucas or Hayden for days, I was living in the moment and dreaming about the hug for d
SALLY'S POV After minutes of confusion, Alpha Lucas was staring into my eyes and it was making me more nervous, I wished I could ask him to stop but I couldn't, I gathered myself together and finally asked him something. "How do you mean?" I asked my eyes widened. "Forgive me my love", he said making my heart flutter the more. "I talk as if you knew, I wanted to come earlier, but your mom had mentioned your dad wasn't home the day I visited, she also said he would only come back today which is why I had come today", he added and I sighed deeply. "Oh that, okay", I replied feeling relieved. "What?" He asked and I shook my head. Alpha Lucas hugged me passionately before leaving the house, I smiled the whole day thinking about the hug. ~ The whole house was filled with joy as I Sally Sanchez was engaging my beloved. Every single member of the moonlight pack had gathered in Alpha Lucas's house for our engagement. It was more colorful than I thought, the crowd was something else.
I was shocked as everyone else in the room and I wasn't thinking straight either. "My mate", he called me rubbing my face, I pushed his hands away forcefully. Alpha Lucas walked towards us at a fast pace breathing heavily. "My love, my mate, the special one the moon goddess had made for me", alpha Derek praised. My heart raced and I wished everything would just stop. I wanted everything to just come to an end immediately, I found myself shading tears against my wish. "She is not your mate", alpha Lucas barked as he pulled me roughly away from Alpha Derek's side. "How dare you to question the moon goddess?" Alpha Derek asked turning to Alpha Lucas. "What do you mean by your mate?" My dad asked as he walked up to us. "She is my mate, the only one the moon goddess had made for me, I saw the sign, it was clear. She is the one for me and I have no doubts about that", alpha Derek explained, although not in a calm manner. "You lie! You lie! I am not your mate Derek, I am not your mate
SALLY'S POV By the time we got to Alpha Derek's house, I had already exhausted all my energy. I had no energy left in me to weep or cry anymore, I could barely stand on my feet. The guard who had driven Alpha Derek's car came to a halt right in Alpha Derek's parking lot, alighted, and walked straight to where I sat. He opened the door and carried me shoulder-high, heading out of the car. Unlike earlier, I didn't struggle to free myself from his grip, another guard also opened the door for alpha Derek and he alighted gracefully and started walking steadily behind us. I sighted the Jeep that brought my mom home as it parked in the parking lot, I fixed my eyes on it, and the door opened abruptly. One of the guards came out of the front seat, the driver's space. He opened the back space for others, they dropped from the car and opened the boot where they had squeezed my mom mercilessly. Anger rose in my system as I sighted my mom being dragged to the back of the building. She too was
SALLY'S POV "What do you want?" I asked immediately I had picked up my cloth to cover myself, yet the clothing didn't cover me up properly. "What a beauty", alpha Derek complimented lustfully as he walked up to stand close to me. He ran his fingers slowly through my shoulder and I hit them off forcefully. "Don't you dare touch me", I threatened him. My heart was racing and I feared what Alpha Derek would do to me. I wondered why he came to my room by this time, and what he wanted from me. I was ready to fight even with the last drop of my blood to make sure he doesn't touch me. "I know what is going on him your head right now dear friend", alpha Derek said with a smile and I rolled my eyes at him. "What are you thinking?" I asked Alpha Derek and rolled my eyes. "No, it should be what am I thinking? But don't worry, I will tell you your thoughts", he said and walked around then returned and stood in front of me. It was as if I would melt the next minute. He placed his both hands
SALLY'S POV 'What were they doing here?' I thought as I stared at them completely shocked. "Have you seen the nuisance they are constituting?" Alpha Derek asked and I nodded sadly. I and Alpha Derek stood and watched the drama from afar, one would think we were friends or even couples. Before I knew what was happening one of the members of the dark pack slapped my pack member and the whole place became soar. Slaps were heard from different angles and screams were also heard. Alpha Derek and I stood and watched in amazement until the fight became intense, they were now fighting with their claws and tearing each other's body parts mercilessly. I tried to step into the fight and separate them but Alpha Derek held my arm and I immediately came to a halt. I turned around to look at the spot Alpha Derek held, then I looked at Alpha Derek's face. He sensed that I didn't like the way he held me and took his hands away immediately. I didn't struggle to get to the fighting floor anymore,
ALPHA DEREK'S POV I sat on my favourite chair in my room turning around on my chair. My thoughts hovered around Sally, I wondered how she was faring and when she would finally get to love me, the same way she loves alpha, Lucas. The moon goddess never makes mistakes and I wondered why she gave me the mate that my friend Alpha Lucas was in love with. Now I have to feel insecure whenever she talked about alpha Lucas, I felt insecure whenever I remembered that alpha Lucas was the one she loved not me. It hurt so much that things had to turn out this way with me and alpha Lucas, we were both so close and he was the only one that was almost allowed all the time to see me as he pleases. Coming to plead with me every other day made me feel guilty, yet I wouldn't let any other man have my mate. Everyone believes I do not have a heart, everyone had the thought, this particular idea that our hearts were taken off at birth. They believed it was a tradition in the family, and every member of
