My Mate Chose My Sister SO I CHOSE REVENGE

“You’re not my mate.” The words didn’t just echo. They shattered. Right there, in the center of the Blood Moon Hall, in front of everyone… my entire world broke. I stopped breathing. “No…” My voice came out barely a whisper. “Alpha Kael… what are you saying?” But deep down, I already knew. Because he wasn’t looking at me. He was looking at her. My sister. Lira. The hall was decorated for celebration. Candles flickered along the walls, their golden glow dancing across polished stone. The scent of pine and smoke filled the air. Tonight was supposed to be sacred—the night mates were acknowledged, bonds sealed, destinies fulfilled. My night. Our night. I had waited for this moment my entire life. Every step I took toward him felt like walking toward fate. But now… It felt like I was walking straight into my own destruction. “I, Kael, Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack…” His voice was calm. Too calm. Cold. “…reject Ayla as my mate.” The bond snapped. A sharp, invisible force tore through my chest, like claws ripping something vital out of me. Pain exploded in waves, crashing through my body so violently I couldn’t stand. I dropped. My knees hit the ground hard. A cry tore from my lips before I could stop it. The pain wasn’t just physical. It was deeper. It was… everything. Gasps filled the hall. Then whispers. Then laughter. “No…” My fingers dug into the stone floor as I struggled to breathe. “No… you can’t do this…” Tears blurred my vision, but I forced myself to look up at him. At the man I loved. At the man who was supposed to be mine. “Why?” I choked out. “Why are you doing this to me?” For a moment… Just a moment… I hoped. Hoped I would see regret in his eyes. Hoped this was some kind of mistake. But when our eyes met… There was nothing. No warmth. No hesitation. No love. “She is stronger than you.” That was all he said. And they destroyed me more completely than the rejection itself. A soft, delicate laugh echoed beside him. Lira stepped forward. Her long golden hair shimmered under the candlelight. Her dress clung perfectly to her figure, elegant and flawless Just like always. “Oh, Ayla…” she said sweetly, tilting her head. “Don’t look so surprised.” Her eyes met mine. And for a split second… The sweetness disappeared. Replaced by something sharp. Something cruel. “You always knew you could never stand beside him.” The crowd laughed. Louder this time. I felt it like knives. Every whisper. Every stare. Every smirk. I had spent my entire life in her shadow. The stronger sister. The prettier one. The one everyone admired. And me? I was just… there. The weak Omega. The disappointment. The one who tried too hard. But Kael… He was different. Or at least, I thought he was. “I don’t understand…” My voice broke. " the bond—” “There is no bond,” Kael cut in sharply. The finality in his voice made my chest tighten. “There never was.” That… wasn’t true. I felt it. I knew I did. Every time he was near me. Every time our hands brushed. Every time my heart raced for no reason at all. That couldn’t be nothing. “You’re lying…” I whispered. For the first time, something flickered in his eyes. Not guilt. Not regret. Annoyance. “Take her away,” he ordered coldly. Two guards stepped forward immediately. Before I could react, rough hands grabbed my arms and yanked me to my feet. Pain shot through my body again, weaker now… Still unbearable. “No—wait!” I struggled, panic rising in my chest. “Kael, please—just listen to me!” He didn’t move. Didn’t speak. Didn’t even look at me. “Please…” My voice cracked completely now. “I love you…” The words slipped out before I could stop them. And the moment they did… I wished I could take them back. Because the entire hall went silent. Then— Kael laughed. Not softly. Not awkwardly. But coldly. Mockingly. “You?” he said, finally turning his gaze toward me again. “Love me?” His lips curled slightly. “That’s exactly why you’re not fit to be my Luna.” The words hit harder than anything else. Lira stepped closer to him, slipping her hand into his arm like it belonged there. Like she belonged there. “Don’t be cruel,” she said lightly, though her smile said otherwise. “She can’t help dreaming.” Dreaming. That’s all it ever was to them. A joke. A fantasy. Something pathetic. “Take her out,” Kael repeated. This time, the guards didn’t hesitate. They dragged me toward the massive doors of the hall. My feet scraped against the stone floor. I didn’t fight anymore. I couldn’t. My wolf… She was silent. Completely silent. It terrified me more than anything. “Ayla.” Lira’s voice stopped me just before the doors. I turned slightly. She walked toward me slowly, her heels clicking softly against the floor. Graceful. Perfect. Victorious. She leaned in close, her lips near my ear. “Thank you,” she whispered. My breath caught. “For stepping aside so easily.” My fingers curled into fists. “I didn’t step aside,” I said weakly. She smiled. “That’s the sad part,” she replied softly. “You never had a place to begin with.” The doors opened. Cold air rushed in. And then— I was thrown out. The doors slammed shut behind me. The celebration inside continued almost instantly. Music. Laughter. Joy. As if nothing had happened. As if I had never mattered. I stood there. Alone. Broken. The night air was freezing, but I barely felt it. My chest still ached. My breathing uneven. My vision blurred with tears I couldn’t stop. Slowly… My legs gave out again. I collapsed onto the ground. And this time… No one was there to see. “No…” I whispered into the darkness. “No… no… no…” My hands pressed against my chest, as if I could hold myself together. As if I could stop the pain from tearing me apart. But it didn’t stop. It spread. Through my veins. Through my bones. Through something deeper than my body. I had lost everything. My mate. My dignity. My place in the pack. Everything. “Why…” My voice was barely sound now. “Why wasn’t I enough…?” The question hung in the air. Unanswered. And then… Something shifted. At first, I thought it was just the wind. A soft rustle through the trees beyond the pack borders. But then— I felt it. A presence. Watching me. My head lifted slowly. My heart pounded again… but this time,It was something else. Something darker. The shadows between the trees seemed thicker. Alive. And then— A voice. Low. Cold. Dangerous. “Pathetic.” I froze. My eyes snapped toward the forest. “Who’s there?” I demanded, though my voice trembled. Silence. Then— A figure stepped forward from the darkness. Tall. Broad. Powerful. Even in the dim light, I could feel it. The aura. The dominance. The kind of presence that made every instinct inside me scream to either submit… Or run. But I did neither. Because something inside me… Had already broken. “Rejected by your mate,” the man said, his voice calm but sharp. “Humiliated in front of your entire pack.” My jaw tightened. “How long have you been watching?” I asked. “Long enough.” He stepped closer. Moonlight caught his face now. Sharp features. Dark eyes. Unreadable. Dangerous. “You’re weak,” he continued. I flinched. “But…” he added, tilting his head slightly. “Not as weak as they think.” My breath hitched. “What do you want?” I asked quietly. “I want to know,” he said slowly, “what you’re going to do next.” I let out a bitter laugh. “What is there to do?” I said. “You saw it yourself. I’m nothing.” “That’s where you’re wrong.” He took another step closer. Close enough now that I could feel the heat of his presence. Close enough that my instincts started reacting again. Not with fear. But with something else. Something I didn’t understand. “They took everything from you,” he said. “And you’re just going to cry about it?” My hands clenched. “What else do you expect me to do?” I snapped. His lips curved slightly. “Take it back.” The words hit differently “Or better yet…” he continued, his voice dropping lower, darker. “Burn everything they have to the ground.” Silence fell between us. My heart pounded. For the first time since the rejection… The pain in my chest shifted. it changed. Into something sharper. Colder. Stronger. “They’re stronger than me,” I said. “Not for long.” I looked at him properly now. Really looked. “Who are you?” I asked. He smiled. And there was nothing kind about it. “Someone who can make them regret ever rejecting you.” My breath caught. “And why would you do that?” I asked carefully. His eyes darkened. “Because I don’t like wasted potential.” The wind picked up around us. The trees rustled. And deep inside me… Something stirred. Something that hadn’t been there before. “Tell me,” he said, his voice almost a command now. “Do you want to stay weak…?” A pause. “Or do you want revenge?” The word echoed in my mind. Revenge. Images flashed through my head. Kael’s cold eyes. Lira’s smile. The laughter. The humiliation. My nails dug into my palms. Slowly… I stood up. The shaking in my body stopped. The tears dried. And for the first time that night… My voice didn’t tremble. “Yes,” I said. The word felt like a promise. “I want revenge.” His smile widened slightly. “Good.” He extended his hand toward me. “Then come with me.” I stared at his hand. This was it. The moment everything changed. Behind me… The pack that abandoned me. In front of me… The unknown. Danger. Power. Darkness. A new path. I hesitated for only a second. Then— I took his hand. And the moment I did… A strange energy surged through me. My breath caught. “What—” “You feel it, don’t you?” he said quietly. I did. Something deep inside me. Something… waking up. My eyes widened slightly. “What is this…?” I whispered. His gaze locked onto mine. “That,” he said slowly… “…is who you really are.” My heart skipped. Before I could ask anything else— A distant howl echoed through the night. Not just any howl. A warning. His expression darkened instantly. “They found you faster than I expected,” he muttered. My chest tightened. “Who found me?” He didn’t answer. Instead, he pulled me slightly behind him. “Stay close,” he said. The shadows shifted again. But this time… They weren’t empty. Figures emerged from the darkness. Wolves. Eyes glowing. Bodies tense. And at the front— Kael. His gaze locked onto me. Fury burned in his eyes. “You,” he growled. My heart slammed against my chest. But this time… I didn’t look away. Because I wasn’t the same girl he rejected anymore. And standing beside me now was something far more dangerous than he had ever expected.
