Fated to Marry My Alpha

I was standing at my mother’s tombstone as tears fell from my eyes. Her only wish for me is to marry the man I love but I disappointed her. Three days ago was supposed to be a wonderful day for me but it turned out to be the worst. It was supposed to be my wedding day but my groom didn’t appear.

As Carlsen is my chosen mate, he was the son of Alpha Cain of the Red Claw Pack. My mother is Alpha Cain’s trusted advisor and in case something happened to my mom, I will fall into his care. But now, my mother who succumbed to her illness, and my father who was absent in my life, I was supposed to marry my childhood sweetheart, Carlsen Stevens.

My mother looked at me with teary eyes and pitiful gaze. “Katiya, I’m sorry that I need to leave you first… If only I could see you wed to Carlsen.”

I held her hand tightly and suppressed a sob. “You don’t need to apologize like this, Mom. It’s not your fault.”

My mother squeezed my hand tightly before giving me a tired smile. “I just want you to be happy even at least to the person you love even if you don’t find your mate. I’m sorry, dear. I’m very sorry.”

She just keeps on telling me sorry. And at the strike of midnight, my mother died due to gastric cancer. I handled my mother’s funeral alone and the very next day after that tragic event, I saw Liana’s post on instagram. Hands clasped together with a caption. ‘I will always be first in his heart.’

I chuckled bitterly when I saw it. I closed my phone and sighed deeply. Now that my mother is gone, and that Carlsen will probably be with Liana, there is no need to go through with the marriage.

Alpha Cain looked at me with his stern face but I could see the worry on his face. “My condolences, Katiya. I will discipline my son sternly. His recent stunt scarred our reputation, much more yours.”

I turned to Alpha Cain and gave him a small smile. He was kind to me and my mother. “Alpha, no need to scold him. Now that he chose Beta Liana, I guess it was time for me to let him go.”

Alpha Cain’s lips purses. I know he really liked me to be the next Luna with his son, but It will never happen anymore. Alpha Cain sighed and nodded. “I understand. What is your next plan?”

I looked at the ring on my left index finger and decided to take it off. It was an engagement ring

that has been passed down by the Red Claw Pack. I gave it to Alpha Cain. “I will leave the Main house and go back to my mother’s home.”

Alpha Cain nodded as acknowledgement. I went to the Main Pack house where the Luna, the Alpha and the Alpha heir resides with some Beta and Omega helpers. I’ve been training to be the Luna of the pack and now that things have ended this way, I think I should focus on myself. After packing, I was about to leave the pack house when I saw Carlsen with Liana. Carlsen’s face turned quizzically as if why I’m holding a baggage.

He frowned with a click of his tongue. “What is this Katiya?”

I scoffed and looked at him seriously. “It’s none of your business. Also, I want to break up with you.”

His face darkened like the bottom of the pot. “Break up? Can you be more sensible? We can have the wedding anytime.”

I sneered and crossed my arms. “No need. You can do what you want with her. I don’t care anymore.”

Liana acted pitifully. “Katiya, no need to get angry at Carlsen. I got hurt, so he came for me.”

I almost wanted to laugh aloud. Hurt? So, me and my mother are not as important as her? And he also put his father’s reputation in the mud? Leaders of the packs came from other places just to witness the wedding and he just came just because she got hurt but she looks okay to me.

Carlsen sighed deeply as if he’s trying to be understanding. “Look, I will explain it to your mother, okay? So, let’s stop this nonsense.”

I rolled my eyes and was about to leave when he stopped me. “Katiya, stop before I run out of patience.”

Liana put her hand over Carlsen’s arm. “Stop it Carlsen. She’s just doing this just to spite you. If her mother hadn’t pretended to be sick, would you be forced to marry her?”

Something felt like it exploded in my head. Then a loud slap landed on Liana’s Face.
