THE USELESS ALPHA IS MY MATE

CHAPTER ONE Iyra stood stunned at the door as she watched the most gruesome she never would have imagined in her life. Her sister and her mate entangled in each other's arms. As she watched them she could feel her heart break. "What the hell is going on here?", she shouted startling the two of them on the bed. "Iyra!", Elliott, her mate called out, surprised as he hurriedly scrambled up from the bed. Delilah , her sister, was surprised to see her as well and hurriedly covered herself with the blankets. Iyra could not believe it. She could not believe that she would be betrayed like this. "I- Iyra, what are you doing here?", Elliott asked, breaking the uncomfortable silence that had descended over the room. Iyra scoffed and looked at him in disbelief. "What am I doing here?", she asked him. "Shouldn't I be the one asking what she is doing here?", Iyra asked back, staring intensely at Delilah . Elliott swallowed nervously. "Iyra, calm down. It's not what it looks like", Elliott began to explain. "Oh really? It's not what it looks like? Then go on, explain what it is, because it looks like to me that you have been sleeping around with my sister behind my back!", Iyra fumed. Elliott opened his mouth to speak but closed them back, an action that made him resemble a fish. He couldn't find the words to say in his defense. "How could you?!", Iyra asked him angrily. "You are my mate, how could you be fooling around with my sister?!" "We are not fooling around, Elliott loves me!", Delilah shouted. Iyra paused and looked at her. "What did you say?", Iyra asked her. "Delilah calm down...", Elliott tried to stop her from saying anything else. "No. I'm tired, it's time she knows the truth. Elliott isn't fooling around with me, he really loves me", Delilah told Iyra. Iyra looked at Elliott who was avoiding her eyes. "And I love him! So leave us the hell alone", Delilah warned her. Iyra stared at Delilah shocked, even though the both of them were half sisters and Iyra knew Delilah didn't like her, she never expected that Delilah would do something like this. "Wow, I can't believe this", Iyra scoffed, the tears were beginning to gather in her eyes but she refused to let them fall. She would not cry, she would not show weakness in front of these two. "Haven't you taken enough from me already?", Iyra asked, staring straight at Delilah . "Haven't you and your mother taken enough from me already? First my father and now my mate?" "What more do you want? How much more are you going to take from me you selfish brat?!!", Iyra raged as she grabbed the vase on the bed stand and threw it at Delilah in a fit of rage. Delilah barely avoided the vase as it crashed into the wall behind them and shattered. Delilah looked at Iyra white with horror. Iyra was fuming with rage. "And as for you, I don't want to see you ever again", Iyra said pointing at Elliott. "The both of you can burn in hell", she said and walked out. "Iyra, Iyra let me explain. Iyra, wait", Elliott hurriedly ran after her but Iyra did not stop or look back. Delilah was still shuddering from the shock of the vase Iyra had thrown at her. "Delilah , are you ok? Did you get hurt?", Elliott hurried back to her as he checked her all over to make sure she was fine. "I'm fine, but that b***h, how dare she?", Delilah asked as her anger began to rise. "Delilah , calm down. Don't do anything rash, don't agitate your sister any further", Elliott begged her. "What? Are you on her side now? She just tried to kill me and you are on her side?!", Delilah asked him angrily. "I'm not on her side. But we shouldn't have been doing this in the first place", Elliott reasoned. "Don't you love me anymore? What? Now that Iyra has caught us you suddenly care about her feelings?!", Delilah asked him. "Delilah , it's not like that. I love you, I do but...." "Then you will not try to stop me, let me go, I'm going to teach that b***h a lesson", Delilah raged as she put on her clothes hastily. Iyra had just arrived home and was heading straight for her room when she felt someone pull her hair from behind. "You b***h!", Delilah yelled as she pulled Iyra' hair tightly. "Ow! Delilah let me go! Let me go!", Iyra yelled at her sister but Delilah did not listen, rather she pulled more tightly. "Who do you think you are?! Were you trying to kill me?! How dare you!", Iyra raged. Somehow Iyra was able to free herself from Delilah 's hold enough to grab her hair. They both tugged on each other's hair vehemently and their screams brought everyone in the house to the living room. "What is this nonsense?! What is going on here?!", Lawrence, their father shouted as he hurried into the living room, Selma following shortly behind him. "What is this?! Let go of each other this instant!", Henryshouted and the girls obeyed. "What is this madness?", Henryasked when both girls had calmed down a bit. "She tried to kill me!", Delilah was the first to speak. "What?", Henrywas taken aback. "She threw a vase at me. She obviously wanted to kill me", Delilah continued staring at Iyra accusingly. Selma, Delilah 's mother and Iyra' step mother gasped loudly and rushed to her daughter. "Oh my God! Are you alright? Are you hurt?", Selma fussed over Delilah . "I'm fine mother. But that's because I barely dodged it if not this crazy b***h would have gotten what she wanted and killed me", Delilah answered. Henryturned to Iyra. "Iyra, is that true? Did you throw a vase at your sister?", Henryasked her. "Yes, I did", Iyra answered. Henrywas stunned. "Why? Why would you do that? She is your sister, why..." "I caught her dad!", Iyra shouted. "In bed, with Elliott", she told him. "What?" "What?" Both Henryand Selma said at the same time. "They have been fooling around for a while and I caught them so in a fit of anger, I threw the vase at her, I didn't mean to", Iyra explained. There was a thick silence and tension hung in the air. "Delilah ...", Henrycalled slowly. "Is what your sister saying true? Were you fooling around with her mate?", Henryasked her carefully. "We love each other papa..." Pak! The sound of the slap resounded in the room. Iyra was surprised. Selma stood stunned and Delilah held on to her cheeks, looking up at her father with a shocked expression. He had slapped her. "Papa.... you... you slapped me?", Delilah asked stunned. "Of all the despicable things. You slept with your sister's mate?!!", Henryasked angrily. "What did I do wrong papa? He's just her mate, they aren't even married yet, why can't I? And besides he doesn't even love her, he loves me and wants to be with me!", Delilah shouted angrily. "Enough!", Henryshouted and Delilah immediately took a step back. Her father's expression had turned black and even Iyra could feel the chills crawling up her spine. There was a brief silence before Henryspoke, "I have decided. You will go to the palace and you will marry the prince" "What?!" "What?!" Both Delilah and her mother shouted. Iyra looked up at her father surprised. "No, papa, please no. I can't. I don't want to, please papa", Delilah immediately began to beg. "Mother, please talk to him, I can't marry the prince", Delilah shook her mother desperately. "Darling, please calm down first, let's talk about this. I know what Delilah did is wrong but you can't punish her like this, for such a small matter...." The alpha prince of the Moonpeak pack was a known cripple and also rumored to be an ugly looking monster. The king had sent Henryan order to present one of his daughters to be the prince mate. Henryhad mulled over the issue of which of his daughters to send since the order arrived, he even discussed it with his wife who suggested they send Iyra. "A small matter?", Henrylooked at Selma. "She had an affair with her sister's mate and had the guts to try and justify herself and you call it a small matter?", Henryasked her darkly. Selma swallowed nervously. She opened her mouth but no words came out, she could tell that her husband was very angry right now. " My decision is final", Henrysaid and with one last look at Delilah , he turned around to leave the sitting room. As Henrywalked away, Delilah suddenly shouted, "I'm pregnant!"
