***KAYLA***
"I hear Derek will be announcing his mate and our next Luna today at the party, he's planning on marking her in front of everyone," Sheila, my sister said excitedly, her voice filled with anxiety as we rode in the car to the party.
I shyly smiled, knowing fully well I was the one she was anticipating to know. It had been a few months now since I found out Derek, our Pack's alpha was my mate, and of course, Derek himself knew and so did my best friend, Kylie.
I touched my stomach, recounting how I met Derek, and how we made the baby that was now growing inside of me, I could vividly remember the day he walked up to me in the gardens, the beginning of our love story.
***FLASHBACK***
I had just clocked 21 when I began to feel so drawn to Derek, even now, as I stood in a crowd of werewolves celebrating the festival of the moon goddess, I could easily pick up his alluring scent that was beginning to drive me crazy and different times, I had seen him steal glances at me, I guess he knew, he must have known for years that we were mates, yes, for years, Derek was 25 years old, a whooping 4 years older than I was.
My eyes caught Derek's amid the crowd, but as soon as they did, I averted my gaze, shy and embarrassed that I had been caught staring, I began to make my way out of the hall where the party was being held.
In no time, I found my way out and began to walk towards the garden behind the hotel we were at, the full moon lit my path as I walked in the night's darkness.
The garden had a nice view to it, the planted roses were in full bloom, reminding me of how I had just bloomed. Sighting a bench in the middle of the garden, I walked towards it and sat on it, then allowed the events of the last few days to replay in my mind.
I now had a mate, and by the looks of things, he must like me, since he couldn't seem to get his eyes off me, I smiled. I was lost in my thoughts, but the sound of a twig snapping brought me back to reality, I looked around sharply, there was no one, but I knew someone was there, he was here, I could smell him.
"You are as smart, just as I thought," he said revealing himself from behind a tree.
"Kayla, is it?" He asked as he sat beside me.
I nodded affirmatively as I couldn't seem to be able to form words, the devastating handsome alpha beside me had that kind of effect on everyone.
"One would have thought an omega wouldn't be so sharp?" He commented, I could feel the disgust in his tone when he mentioned the word 'omega' but maybe I just decided to blind myself to the fact.
So instead of saying anything I blushed hard, the thought of the alpha being mine was one that made me feel above the moon. I shyly bowed my head unable to directly look him I'm the eye.
"Are you always this shy?" He asked.
"N-no" I croaked.
"It's fine, you're young, it's okay to be shy," he said giving me a reassuring smile that made my heart jump more rather than putting it at ease, which was what Alpha Derek intended.
He placed a hand on my fingers, making me realize I had been trembling, his touch sent shivers, as though my body had been struck by lightning, I felt something so good in me, something deeper than just catching his scent, my weak wolf wanted to jump into his arms, but I had to behave, I wasn't his yet, for all I know, he could reject me, rumor had it that, he had a mate who he'd rejected in the past, so I decided not to get ahead of myself.
"It seems, we are mates," I said, shyly, not meeting his gaze.
"Yes, yes we are," he said in the calmest tone, then pulled me in for a kiss, my first kiss.
Alpha Derek gently kissed me, before allowing his tongue to find its way into my mouth, the kiss slowly ended, and he hugged me tightly like his life depended on it.
"I want you Kayla," he said, then groaned.
And I wanted him too.
"Come with me," He said, although it sounded more like an order, and without thinking twice, I followed him.
We made our way back to the hotel, but this time around, not to the hall where the moon goddess' festival was being held, alpha Derek led the way to a hotel room, and while the whole of my morals screamed not to follow, my wolf kept saying to follow and so I did.
The hotel room was large and beautiful, but I didn't take in many details, as Alpha Derek surprisingly pounced on me and we began to kiss, soon after, clothes began to fly up and down, and he was inside of me, the first thrust was painful as it was my first time, but the subsequent thrust was a mixture of bittersweet pleasure, I could not get enough of him, and neither could he get enough of me.
Alpha Derek fucked me in different styles that night, we didn't stop till it was around 5 am.
"When will you mark me?" I had asked after the long night.
"After I am crowned king in 2 months, at my coronation party, but we should keep this a secret, I fear you might be harmed before then" he replied amidst dozing off.
And just like that, I believed him, the happiness I felt that night was everything I needed to wait for 2 months, and within those 2 months, I had met alpha Derek on different occasions and we had been intimate each time.
***END OF FLASHBACK***
And today, I was going to be announced as his mate, and Luna of Ravenclaw Pack.
Our car came to a halt in front of the palace of Ravenclaw. Sheila and I came down, and then started making our way inside. we're side by side when we heard loud cheering coming from the crowd, a waiter passed by with drinks when Sheila stopped her and asked, "What's happening?"
"Alpha Derek marked Lady Kylie as his mate," the waitress replied.
There and then, my world came crashing down, I was pregnant, obviously now rejected for no reason by my mate who didn't only reject me, but marked my best friend Kylie.
