Contracted to the wrong Alpha
Chapter 89
Jethro’s Pov
She was too loud.
Breaking Items and screaming out loud like a manaic while pulling her natural brunette hair out with her fingers and I drank the wine from the tumbler, watching my sister feel so dramatic.
” He wouldn’t even look at my face, he was staring at her the whole fucking time despite me being right at his face!” She spat out and I shrugged.
“He’s over you.”
“That’s impossible Jethro and you know that! Alexander is wrapped up against my world and he can’t do anything about that, he’s my mate!”
I shook my head in disgust at such claim and chuckled.
“That bond was broken five years ago, yes! He misses you and is excited about your presence. Believe me when I say the Alpha would go to war for your sake but he would never take you as his Luna when he loves Lilia! He hasn’t even looked at you like that before.” I chuckled again and that only seems to rile her up more.
“He’s only known her for like how many months? I’ll take him back. I just want that bitch out! I just want her to go for fucks sake!” She screamed and I got pissed at her shitty attitude.
“Maybe you wouldn’t be dealing with this shit if you had just try to come out plain or send a signal that you were alive all this while? It’s five fucking years Seraphina! What do you expect him to do with everything at stake? Fuck with himself and secure the pack?
Take a look around you and the pack, was it the way it used to be before huh? It fucking improved because of Lilia. Do you know what it means for the Alpha and President of the borders of Russia to sign an affiliation with Midnight Shade or at the Parliament?” I asked her and she gulped, biting her lips.
“Exactly, you don’t know shit. So you’re going to Lay your head low, stay cool and take advantage of your sudden appearance to make the Alpha grant us more Incentives.”
“That’s over my dead body!” She spat out and I groaned at her next words.
“I want my man back! I want to be his Luna and you’re going to help me!”
“No way I’m doing shit with you not after messing up all in the name of helping the Priestess. Lilia isn’t someone you should underestimate, she fucked up my damn plans and I might not live long enough if I don’t have Alveria’s protection.” I vented out my frustrations that have been bothering me since I left Raven’s house.
“Elaborate, what do you mean by that?”
“Raven is not an ordinary wolf! He’s a fucking forbidden Vampire that could destroy his entire family.” She gasped and reeled back in shock.
“I thought it was a lie when Alveria told me, she wanted a payback because he defiled her orders and got Lilia out of the Dark Woods of wolves. I followed her instructions with the help of Felix who never liked him and left him in the sun to burn, wither away and die!”
Seraphina hands flew to her mouth in horror and I know that I fucked up, I messed up and I didn’t know what I was doing. Maybe I just wanted Raven out so that the Alpha could trust me the same way he trusted him or Luna could smile at me the same way he smiled and leaned her head on his shoulders.
I was jealous of Raven so I did that without a second thought.
“You almost killed a Pack’s Beta Jethro? A pack you don’t even belong to? Are you daft!” She screamed.
I stood up feeling stupid. “I don’t need your judgment, vhe is still going to die when words get out.”
“No idiot! Raven would never die because Alexander would rather step down from the throne to save him than save his own blood brother! That’s how much he cherishes Raven and I don’t freaking know why?” She groaned.
“See? Same way your chances of getting Luna out are slim. I want you as Luna but that can’t happen. Not when Lilia is that powerful, not when the Alpha is in love with her and the Beta is her backbone. She has support from everywhere like a burning pillar and she’s fucking intelligent.”
I seethed and swallowed a large chunk of the drink.
“I’ll use Alexander’s weakness.” She blurted out and my eyes widened in horror.
“He doesn’t have any horrible weaknesses, silly girl.”
“He has, he told me and hid it from the rest of the world. I’m going to trigger it, control him and let him send her out. Then during the full moon, I’ll threaten him to crown me or he would go mad in pain.”
She sounded so confident, so happy as if she saw her solution and I stood up.
“What weakness is this Seraphina? Tell me.” I pleaded desperately and she smiled.
“Alexander Wilson is a Lycan demon.”
“What the hell?” I growled in disbelief.
“Yes, he’s been hiding this for years now with no trace. His parents are aware but the pack has no single Idea. Raven would do anything to protect him the same way he would do anything to protect Alexander too! I’m using this against that family to get what I want!”
The door creaked open and she gasped, my heart almost flew too but I was calm because Felix came inside, grinning at me as I’d he was excited about something.
“You all have a lovely plan, but mine is worth every stress.”
I frowned at him and he winked at my sister.
“Mine would destroy Alexander and Lilia, don’t worry. I’ll fill you up with what would happened because they don’t even know what would hit them. But for now, make a confirmation for me Jethro, you’re the only one I can talk to when it has to do with that bitch fucking my brother.”
“What is it this time?”
“Pregnancy, I want you to confirm if she’s pregnant because she’s been feeling pale lately.”
My eyes widened in horror, that would be ne a fucking disaster if she’s carrying the Alpha’s heir!
“No Jethro, because if she’s pregnant, it’s definitely going to be mine! My own baby!”

Raven’s Pov
“Here you go. You’ve been eating this non stop like an addiction Lilia. I don’t want the ice to affect you.” I told her worriedly and she giggled.
“The only effect is killing me if I don’t have this mint chocolate ice cream for a day..”
“Let her be Raven, the least we can do is see our Luna sulk over an ice cream. Come here Hun, I made this for you.” My mum gestured and her eyes glinted in surprise.
It was a knitted shawl and she squeaked in excitement, squatting before my mother.
“This is so beautiful, thank you so much.”
“Don’t mention it all, as long as I’m alive all thanks to you, I’ll make more for you.”
She pouted and smiled, looking back at me. “It’s nothing, I’ll do anything to save anyone. I couldn’t save myself nor my parents back then before they left…I can’t let death happen to anyone when I have the power to save it.”
She said remorsefully and my father twitched in discomfort.
“Tell me child, what happened to your parents.”
Her lip trembled and tears fell down helplessly but she wiped it off angrily and sniffed.
“We went for a festival,” My fingers curled into a fist and my jaw clenched tightly.
“We went to White Crisps pack because it was the largest annual Festival of the wolves. At Least I remembered that because I loved to eat the candies they made.” She chuckled and continued.
“It was all okay and great until an unexpected attack from the Lycans took over and everything was snapped Into and broke everything.
I was grabbed by huge unknown men and they…” she choked on her words badly and sobbed hard. My eyes burned but I didn’t want her to see that, I didn’t want her to know that I was there when she suddenly disappeared from my fucking sight.
“I was molested!” She sniffed. I didn’t understand what that meant until I was raped in my school during a birthday party of a an influential rich kid. My sweet parents who took me in were so nice to send me to Bri royal academy in New York and I messed it up. I’m not even fit to be Luna too but…but it happened.” She chuckled and sniffed.
My father growled and stood up, leaving the room and my mum’s eyes were already moist with tears.
“I’m sorry…” She whispered and mum took her hands.
“Nonsense sweetheart, nothing to apologize for, Raven got infected by a Vampire bite because he was looking for his sister who got lost after the carnival.
“He searched for years and defiled the Alpha who loved him or he would have been detained a long time ago.”
Her eyes widened in horror, she looked at me and back to my mother.
“He entered the wrong Clan, it’s called Scented Skies and the deadliest of them without knowing and they infected him. That’s why he’s a half blooded Vampire and can’t be known to the public or we are all dead my baby!” She couldn’t hide her emotions at all, she couldn’t ensure it but broke into a sob and hugged her crying so deeply.
It took everything in me not to break down too.
She’s my sister, fucking safe and alive and that’s all I needed. I was ready to break Alexander’s head until I saw the sincerity in his words after defending her.
He loves her and I’m okay with that as long as he doesn’t mess up.
“A.. are you saying th.. that you’re my m.. mother? That…that what I’ve been feeling each time I come here isn’t fake but real?” She cracked with raw intensity of emotions and when my mum nodded, a full blown tears erupted from her lips.

“You should go home Lilia, we don’t want Lex to be worried.” I told her after we had dinner but she was too clingy with me after the little emotional drama.
“No big brother, I’m staying the night here. Don’t send me away.” She pouted and I chuckled when I heard the doorbell rang and I stood up. “Let me check who it is?”
I told her and she smiled, getting up to let me leave. By the time I reached the living room, My mum was already tending to Alexander and I scoffed.
” You couldn’t even let her breathe, you know she’s safe here right?”
He shrugged and tore the flesh of the chicken with grace and took it to his mouth.
“When it has to do with Lilia, I don’t trust you Raven. You will take her away from me.”
He stared at mum and grinned.
“Why is she so excited?”
“She knows about Lilia, so it’s normal.”
“Let me see her already.” He groaned.
“What are you going to do with Seraphina?” I cut him off instantly and his countenance fell.
” I don’t know, give her time or something more. She’s triggered at the moment and I’m trying to be lenient with her.”
I passed my phone to him to check on something.
“I’ve hacked the hospital system to be sure if her allegations about hiding the truth about a patient are true. She said they didn’t want you to know she was in a coma but her medical report is saying that she was at the point of death due to the disease that infected her.”
“You think she’s lying? Raven can you ever. l be fucking blunt than this?’ he dropped the fork.
“I’m just trying to let you see reality before you go something you’ll regret.”
“She was my mate but Xander keeps saying that Lilia is my second chance mate which doesn’t make sense! I wouldn’t be so crazy over Lilia if the bond is still there.”
“No, you won’t have a second chance mate if Seraphina wasn’t dead because I vividly recall that you never rejected her for any reason!” I told him and he sank his weight down and squeezed his brows.
“You’re right Raven, I loved that girl too much to think of such. Are you saying this one is fake? I don’t agree with that Raven, I won’t hurt your sister. I love her and she remains my Luna but don’t fucking say shit about Seraphina! She was my first!”
“Then focus on your first then!”
“Raven!! That’s enough or I’ll be forced to use my authority and aura on you!” I gulped and nodded.
“I’m sorry Alpha.”
” I need to see my Luna.”
I nodded and retraced my step back to the room, maybe I’m too paranoid over the safety of Lilia to be thinking too much.
I pushed the door open and she wasn’t in sight, her scent led me to the restroom and there she was, sprawled on the floor and vomiting her heart out.
“Lilia!” I growled in panic and went to her instantly.
“Don’t tell Lex please, give me some time to relax. I’ll be fine.”
“What’s wrong with you?” I asked worriedly and tears welled her eyes.
“I think I’m pregnant Raven.”
