Caught Between Two Alphas

One night stand

Two

Elena's POV

Sun rays penetrated into my eyes directly, I felt my head ache alot. That was when I remembered what happened last night between me and that handsome stranger. His presence was comforting and unfamiliar.

I saw him sleeping peacefully beside me,Before I could try to kiss him, my phone blared loudly. Mom's voice, shrill and commanding, brought me back from my thoughts.

“Hello mom..” I said but her loud voice deafened my ears, I pushed the phone away from my ear due to the shock before placing it back to my ear.

“Elena! You stupid girl! Get back here and get prepared, today is your sister's wedding!” She yelled at me and end the call. Her words hit me like a tidal wave, bringing back everything I tried to forget. My heart pounded, and panic surged through me.

“What!? Clarissa's wedding? With who!?” I asked myself. I slowly got down from the bed and picked up my clothes scattered around the room. I dressed hastily as my mind raced with questions and doubts. I rushed out of the room.

…..

Loud music blared in the sitting room, a stark contrast to the turmoil in my heart. People trooped in and out, their laughter and chatter filling the air, oblivious to the storm brewing inside me as I entered,every corner of our house is now transformed into a festive venue.Clarissa ran towards me, her eyes sparkling with excitement, each step filled with a joy that felt like a knife twisting in my heart.

“Sister! Come take a look at my wedding dress…I don't know if it will suit me perfectly.I'm so nervous,!” she exclaimed, dragging me towards her room.She acted like she didn’t steal my fiancé and destroy my life last night.

Derek's voice interrupted, a cruel reminder of betrayal. “Hmm…Elena, glad you made it to our wedding today.” His smile was a mockery, and I fought back tears, feeling the weight of their pretence.The sight of him made my stomach churn. I couldn’t bear to look at him, let alone engage in a conversation. The pain of his betrayal was still too raw. He did too much and he just doesn't deserve my audience.

We all dressed up in silence, with so much unspoken truths and we soon left for church. I adjusted my lipstick again while waiting for the priest to call out the bride and groom. I checked my purse for my ID but I couldn't find it.

“Oh no! Where could I have dropped my ID?” I asked myself searching for my missing ID, I was so bothered looking for my ID I didn’t hear the things people said around me, I was only saying

“Let's welcome the bride and the groom!” The priest shouted.

We all stood up and immediately, my gaze landed on Derek, hot tears rolled down my cheeks. I remembered the good times we shared together and our promises to each other but I guess he didn’t.

“Hey Elena! What are you standing there for!? Go immediately and be at your sister's back!” Mom yelled at me and I jotted from my thoughts.

I trolled behind her, damping my wet cheeks with my handkerchief.

We got to the altar and everyone stared at me including the priest, they all knew who Derek was to me but now I wasn’t the one getting married to him.

“Are you not supposed to be the one getting married to Derek?” He asked, my heart skipped a beat. I gluped down hard and everywhere went silent. His words pierced through my thoughts, leaving me speechless.

“I…I…” I stammered slowly.

“No father! We will be getting married next week and she is my fiancee!” Someone shouted from the back walking straight to where we were standing. All attention landed on him.

“You!?” I muttered in shock, my eyes widened. He was the stranger in had a one night stand with last night. He confidently walks towards us staring at me from up to down, I felt my face go red because I remembered all the things he did to me last night. .

“How come he knows where I was!? But thank God he came to my rescue.” I smiled to myself. Mix of relief and uncertainty washing over me.

I didn’t understand what was going on but I'm happy the embarrassment wouldn’t be there.

“Yes my love, now shall we?” He smiled at me. I reluctantly hesitated and followed him out of the altar, but I need answers. We got to where his car was packed and his driver opened the door, I got in.

“Okay, What the hell is happening here? I need answers.” I asked. I'm so confused.I needed to know a lot of thing like how he found me, why he said that? , and what the hell he is doing here!

“We are going somewhere, no need to stay there with them if you feel heartbroken and don't want to.”he replied cryptically, his gaze fixed on me.

“Huh? How do you know that I wasn't comfortable?” I asked and he chuckled softly.

“And how did you find me? As far as I know, it was just a one night stand and that's all.” I said in surprise patiently waiting for his response.

“How I found you?” This is it!” He said and handed my ID card to me.

“Oh no! It was him!” My wolf shouted.

“You dropped it while rushing off this morning so I found it to give it back. I asked questions before getting to you.” He finished and looked out of the window.

“Seriously? So what's your name?” I asked and took the ID From him.

“Well, I'm Alpha Lyod, the Alpha of the blood moon's pack. And we are getting married next week.” He added. Wait a minute, what did he mean by getting married?

“Getting married!? How? I don't even know you!” I protested, shaking my head in disbelief.

“It's not necessary, no one tampers with Alpha Lyod's heart and goes Scot free, so Elena Gomez…you are mine!” He growled softly. Tampered? What the hell did he mean by tampered, we had a one night stand with mutual lust and now he is saying I tampered with his heart.

“No, it can't be possible ... .I'm cursed! Everyone dispatches themselves from me. Even my fiance left me, don't do this to yourself.” I said.I wanted to warn him so he wouldn’t complain that I didn’t tell him when things start happening.

“Who cares, the moon goddess chooses you Elena..As my fated Mate.” He insisted, gently cupping my cheek.

“It's him! It's him Elena! Our Mate is here.” My wolf shouted inside of me. A scent of cinnamon rolled through my nose as we stared directly into each other's eyes.

“Mate!” I muttered. I could feel the sense of connection.

“I finally found you, Mate!” He responded and sniffed my left ear. My wolf bond immediately connected to him. His golden brown eyes locking into mine.

“What do you seek? I will grant you.” Alpha Lloyd offered solemnly.Tears dropped from my eyes.

“ I seek revenge! I want to make Clarissa and Derek regret ever treating me like a piece of t

rash.” I roared in determination. They hurt me now they’re going to be paid in double folds.
