The Alpha’s Big Mistake

CLARA

If I had known my almost perfect life was going to turn into hell in a second then maybe I would have done things differently.

I stood behind my chosen mate of four years with tears rolling down my cheeks. He had promised no matter what, since he had chosen me as his mate, I was going to be his tuma and nothing was going to change that but there he was, staring at the girl in front of him like she was his world instead of me but what did I expect? She was his mate, I wasn’t.

If anyone was to blame, it was the mean goddess.

When the girl ran into his arms and he didn’t push her away, I couldn’t stop the tears anymore.

“Excuse me”I murmured but I was sure no one heard because they were all engrossed in the scene in front of them.

I turned around and ran out of there as soon as I could. I needed to calm my nerves.

As soon as I got outside, I sat down on the stairs and took a deep breath. So this was it, the end of my almost perfect life. If I had known coming to this ball would end up this way, I would have never come.

At least if Liam told me he found his mate, it wouldn’t have hurt as bad as seeing her run into his arms.

“Clara?” I heard Liam’s voice behind me and I immediately wiped away my tears as he walked up to me and sat next to me.

“So what happens to us? You’ll reject me?” I interjected as I turned to him. I don’t know why we both assumed we were never g out fated mates but I believed that even if I found my mate, I was going to choose Liam because I loved him too much.

“Nothing changes, you’re the one I chose. I love you, remember that” Liam uttered and I tried so hard to believe his words but I could feel it, something had changed between us.

“I won’t stop you, if you want to be with her then you can” I murmured and he frowned.

It's you, Clara” He muttered and I smiled sadly at how unsure he sounded.

“I want you.”

“She’s your fated mate, I cannot compete with that. I want to go home, I want to rest.” I murmured as I stood up from the stairs.

“I can’t leave now,”

I’ll ask James to take you home. I’ll be there soon, okay my love?” He uttered and I sighed.

If it were in the past, he would have gone with me immediately.

“Okay” Soon enough, Beta James arrived and he led me towards the car and as I was about getting Liam and the way their faces lit up made my heart clench.

I quickly averted my gaze as I got into the car.

“Let’s go." I murmured softly and James immediately started the car and as we drove off, I’noticed the way James kept staring at me through the rear view mirror.

“If you have something to say, go ahead” I’murmured and he sighed.

“You do know that he’d have to make her his Luna right? If he makes you his Luna instead of his mate, tragedy and misfortune will strike the pack and none of us want that to happen” He murmured and I just pursed my lips without answering. Even though it was a superstition, no one was ready to take that chance.

As soon as we got to the pack, I ran up to our shared room and peeled off my clothes.

I got into the shower and minutes later, I was laying on the bed trying my hardest to fall asleep but I just couldn’t. Many things were running through my head. Was he going to pick her?

Just as I was about to sleep, I heard Liam’s deep voice as he laughed wholeheartedly.

I sat up slightly and was about to climb out of bed when I heard a female laugh intertwined with his.

“I didn’t expect you to be this funny, Alpha Liam” The girl uttered and I heard him chuckle.

“You can call me Liam” I heard him uttering and the aching pain returned. I clenched onto my chest as light tears rolled down my chest. Only a few people were allowed to call him by his name and those few people were his family and L. Not even Beta Kade or G amma Elliott could call him by his name.
