“Shut up your dirty mouth, Oceana, you are an Alpha, you should know what’s best for the clan, don’t act childish, you are better than this, not being…”
“I shouldn’t act childish, shouldn’t I be getting married to the person I love, finding my mate.”
“Oceana, you are nearly eighteen.’
“There is nothing near eighteen, I am still young and eighteen, I still have time.’
Well, my child, you don’t.’ She cut in. “Time is fast approaching, and rumors are spreading like wildfire that you haven’t found your mate. Your little brother and his best friend found their mate at such a young age, once they are up to eighteen, they will be getting married to their respective mates, now, ask yourself, where do you stand? A lot of people are talking that a great and attractive Alpha like you hasn’t found her mate, what would that make of you? I want you to stop this nonsense and consider him, you are quite young, with time you will understand that what I’m doing for you is for your good.” She got up from the bed. “Respect yourself.”
“What if I find my mate sooner than you, wouldn’t that be disgraceful to the clan and to the Alpha, he will feel so much embarrassed.” I pointed out.
“It wouldn’t be disgraceful, everyone will understand and know that you are destined by the moon goddess to see your mate. For the meantime, he is a good man, trying to understand you. I’ve seen how he tries to get your attention by sending you flowers, don’t treat him like that, he is a good Alpha.”
If only she knew that I had found my mate, her son, my brother is the one.
The Alpha is a complete jerk, he can never be my husband, I don’t know why Mom doesn’t want to understand that.
“You will be getting engaged to him soon, ” she continued. “Once you are completely eighteen, you will be getting married to him, if you choose to get married right away, I will prepare the wedding.”
I was boiling with rage, my hands were turning red.
“It will be great, especially going through the wedding alongside your brother, Gérard, he is also getting married.”
“He is getting married,” I shouted.
“Why are you surprised, didn’t you see the woman he came with, her name is Emily. She is the woman who is going to get married to your brother, she is a stunning one and your brother chose a good treasure very well, I am proud of him and the only one who remains is Carmine, but that aside, Oceana. I will be walking to my chambers, I shall rest for the next two hours, don’t do anything harsh and think about what I have just said, keeping yourself locked up all day wouldn’t help you, Oceana. Get up and keep your day going, you are an Alpha.” She walked to the door, opening and shutting it behind her, I was in a daze.
I couldn’t control myself, I sobbed for hours to no end, it shattered my heart into pieces, Gérard was getting married.
He was abandoning me once again and getting married, how dare he?
I was his mate, how could he leave me and get married without considering how it was going to affect me?
For the next couple of days, I didn’t go outside, train or go to school, I didn’t even care to see my best friend, Jessie, I just shut everyone out, my mind was too weak and numb to think, even the bitch Emily requested to see me, who does she think she is, I don’t want to see her nor my brothers.
I don’t want to see anyone.
All of a sudden, I heard someone unlock the door hastily, as he flare it open, his expression wasn’t something I could describe at that moment.
Why was he here?
I shifted closer to my bed, relaxing my ass after knowing it was him when Adolph came in with a smile.
“Good morning, Alpha.”
“Good morning to you, Alpha Adolph, for barging into my room like some scoundrel,” I said and he flickered his white hair behind his hair and walked up to me wearing brown leather clothes and black boots. “I heard you’ve been hiding in your room all day like a drenched puppy.” He teased and I nearly gleamed.
He is a vigorous Alpha.
“And your hair is like an old man’s.’ I was trying to get back at him but that didn’t fit in, since he was handsome.
And also having white hair is part of the clan too, since he’s the son of the Lycan King, who collaborates with my father, the Wolf King as the pack calls him.
“Don’t care, it shows I’m part of the bloodline of my family and not a fake.’ He proudly stated.
A thousand years ago, the Red Lycan Pack were always known for having white hair, a wolf without its hair was condemned and thrown out of the clan, seeing them as phony and at times they didn’t spare their lives either and they could do anything to protect their clan.
“Whatever.’ I rolled my eyes.
“They both were amazing, the pack wouldn’t stop talking about them.’ He pointed out and I knew who he was referring to.
“You must have also heard that my brothers are back, the clan’s news spread like wildfire across the realms.” I sneezed and hugged my chest avoiding his expression.
He took a seat beside me, where my mother sat and sighed. “Aren’t you happy that your brothers are back, you have always wanted to see them all these years?”
Adolph is two years older than me, he is also my best friend, Jessie and I both grew up together with him, he is highly from a respected clan, so he knows me so well.
“Did Mom tell you to come to talk to me?’
He shrugged his shoulders. “No, your Mom only told me why you were downcast when I asked her what went on at the chambers.” He explained.
My Mom is fond of telling the people I’m the closest to, to come to talk or advise me on certain stuff and I don’t like that about her. Just because I’m close to them doesn’t mean I always listen to them anyway.
“I see.” I rolled my eyes.
“Let’s go see them.’
“I don’t want to, I want to be all by myself.” I said.
Adolph got up and stretched out his hand. “Let’s go outside, princess.”
I looked at his hand and scoffed. “To do what,” I questioned.
“You need some fresh air, this room is already smelling of your tears. Let the maids come in and clear it up, if you don’t want to see them.” He laughed.
