Accidentally Pregnant by the Alpha

I turned and nodded. “Yes, I am.”

“Wow, I never would’ve guessed! That gown is amazing. It doesn’t seem like something an Omega would wear,” She said, her surprise evident.

I smiled softly, unsure whether to feel flattered or self-conscious.

A few minutes later, Alpha Evan stepped onto the stage to officially begin the mating ceremony. His deep voice commanded attention as he declared that tonight, he too would find his fated mate—the future Luna of our pack. I could imagine Serena's face lighting up right now at the announcement. Damn, I hope she really was the one destined to stand beside Evan as his Luna.

Around me, wolves had already begun finding their mates, their scents and the mating pull guiding them to each other. Then, one by one, couples were leaving the hall, eager to accept the bond they had just discovered. Watching their joy warmed my heart; it was truly a beautiful sight, seeing so many smiles all around.

But as time passed, a creeping worry settled in my chest. Why hadn’t I found my mate yet? The hall was rapidly emptying, with only a handful of Omegas and lower-ranking wolves left. I walked around, hoping to sense the pull, but nothing. No scent, no bond, no fated mate waiting for me. A sinking feeling weighed me down—was I destined to be mateless?

Dejected, I sat down in one of the chairs, feeling the hopelessness wash over me. Just as I was about to lose myself in the gloom, Serena’s voice suddenly entered my mind through a mind-link.

“I’m not mated to Alpha Evan,” She shared, surprising me. “My mate is the Beta’s son, Andrew. He’s handsome and kind, and I’m with him now, but… I think I’m going to reject him. He’s not what I imagined. Oh well, keep me updated on your mate, alright?”

Her words snapped me out of my spiral. Even Serena, with all her confidence and beauty, wasn’t guaranteed the mate she had hoped for. I wasn’t alone in my uncertainty. Still, I couldn’t help but wonder—where was my mate?

“That’s tough, Serena. But don’t reject him just yet. You can try to give him a chance,” I replied through the mind-link. “As for me, I still haven’t found mine… I think I might really be mateless.”

As I cut the link, a sudden, intoxicating scent hit me, making my wolf jump inside me. The smell was earthy, like cypress oak, and it filled my senses with a strange allure. I glanced around the hall, seeing everyone paired up. Where was this scent coming from?

Compelled by the smell, I began following it, growing more confused with each step as it led me toward the area reserved for the upper-ranking wolves. I hesitated for a moment, but my wolf urged me forward, so I mindlessly continued with my heart pounding. Suddenly, I collided with something—someone—tall and solid. My face landed squarely against his firm chest, and the scent hit me full force, making my heart race faster.

Before I could react, his strong arms wrapped around me in a hug. The sensation was unfamiliar but undeniable. This man… he was my mate. My pulse quickened as I tilted my head up to meet his gaze, but when I saw his face, my entire body went cold. A shiver ran down my spine, and in shock, I pushed him away.

No. This couldn’t be happening.

But he gently reached for my hand, his touch soft despite the strength in it. “My wolf stirred the moment you bumped into me,” He said, his deep voice calm yet intense. “You are my mate.”

It was Alpha Evan.
