The Alpha's Lie ( The Alpha's Destiny Book 2 )

Chapter 12

Killian’s POV

That bastard was with her now. I just knew it. 

The fact that Chase is Callie’s true mate and I am just a werewolf who loves her, should mean nothing. Callie has chosen. Now I might as well just go on with my life, but I love her too much to ever leave her. 

I will lay down my life for her. I will give my all for her. Hell, I will follow her to the ends of the earth. She means the world to me. 

The feelings that I have for her are the same as those that one would have for their destined mate. It makes no sense, but it is all true. 

I was in the middle of the woods, trying to slow down my breathing after I got done exercising. 

Jayden walked out from behind a tree only wearing shorts and threw a pair of shorts to me. 

“Cover up, I really don’t want to talk to you while you’re buck naked.”

I attempted to laugh at that, but I couldn’t muster up the energy for it. I quickly put on the shorts and Jayden smiled when he saw I was covered up. 

“I know you’re mad.”

It wasn’t like I was trying to hide the fact that I was mad. I wanted everyone to stay away from me and realize just how pissed off I was. 

“I hate that Callie is with him now. I might even hate it more than you do, but she needs to be with him.” Jayden said. 

His words were only pissing me off even more. 

“You know why.” Jayden sighed. “As much as we hate it, we have to deal with it. Callie needs to get pregnant and the only way for her to get pregnant is if she is with her true mate. Unless you want her to wait a couple more years and by then there will be no chance of salvation for anyone.”

“I get it.” I growled. “I just hate that she is with that pig right now.” 

“Once he leaves, you should go talk to her.” 

“Hell, I don’t think I will remain sane if I have to talk to her with that Alpha bastard’s scent all over her. It would only succeed in driving me over the edge.” “You should know she is in heat.” Jayden said and I felt a weariness pass over me. “Trust me when I say I didn’t want that asshole anywhere near my sister, but it is not for us to decide what happens. She needs to bear a child. That is why she is in heat now that is why she needs to be with Chase.”

“I don’t understand.” 

“She can only get pregnant if she is with her mate, otherwise she would have to wait a couple more years before she could have a child with someone else. It happened to my mother. I just wish we did have time, but we really don’t. 

“You know I love Callie.” I said the words that I wanted to say since the first moment I met her. 

Jayden just smiled at me. Then his smile disappeared and he looked like the concerned older brother that he is. “You know that you are meant to protect her no matter what. Don’t do anything that will hurt her. Okay?”

I nodded and then looked at the window where I knew Callie’s room was. 

She will be mine. 

Callie’s POV

Once I finally got Chase to leave, I broke down and cried. 

In my heart I knew that I didn’t want Chase, I only wanted Killian. It drove me crazy to know that I gave my body to Chase, that there is a huge chance that in a few months I will give birth soon to my child.

His child.

Our Child.

I know in my heart that I will love her or him, but right now I am angry and sad. 

I curled up into a ball on the floor and held my stomach as I thought about everything I went through when Chase decided to sleep with whoever he wanted whenever he wanted without caring about the consequences. Instead of Chase staying out of my life, he always seems to be in it.

My room door opened and I knew it was Killian, I wanted him, but I didn’t want him to have to smell the evidence of what happened between Chase and me. I didn’t want him to be disgusted with me. 

Killian picked me up and I wrapped my arms around his neck and he kissed my head. In his arms I felt safe and I knew I could trust him. I feel things with him that I never felt with Chase. 

“I love you.” I whispered and I felt Killian stiffen at my words. His body was taut and I think he stopped breathing. “Killian?”

He smiled at me, he started breathing again. “Please tell me you are not joking.”

“I am not joking. I love you Killian. We might not be mates or anything, but I really do love you.”

“I love you too.”

His words were music to my ears and he kissed me. This time the kiss was not as passionate or as needy as the first time we kissed. This time the kiss was sweet, and almost teasing. 

The next day, all hell broke loose. 

Chase was furious that Killian spent the night with me even though all Killian and I did was talk and kiss. 

Killian smirked at Chase and threatened to pull out his teeth if he dared to growl at me again. 

Jayden just sat there and watched as all the commotion went on and my parents – their eyes were on me. 

Joseph was showing Sarah something. I just couldn’t see or tell what it was. 

And the rest of the pack, they were trying their best not to look so interested in what was happening. 

I finally had enough when I decided to whistle loud enough that, I hoped, their ears hurt. My ears couldn’t take much more of their bickering. 

“Enough, we have so much more important things wee need to figure out  and you guys are too busy worrying about yourselves and growling at each other.” I looked at Jayden and saw that his eyes were filled with respect. “I need to rest. Can you all just please try to find out what is happening?” 

A few heads nodded and I walked upstairs. Jayden followed me and I knew what he was going to say next was going to tear my world apart.

I just knew it. 

The moment I walked into my room, I felt Jayden was right behind me. He closed the door behind him and I wanted to beg him to leave the door open, but I had to be strong. 

“There is something I should tell you.” Jayden started to say. “A few things actually. I just don’t know how or where to start.”

I laughed sarcastically, but then remembered that this is my brother. He cares about me more than anyone ever did. He doesn’t deserve me being sarcastic to him. I sobered up quickly and looked at him seriously and gave him a slight smile. “Start at the beginning.”

Jayden looked me over, his eyes narrowed slightly and I knew he wanted to know how I was doing. 

“I discovered that Chase, Killian and I are your born protectors. It is a long story and I don’t know how exactly to explain It. All I know is that I feel the need to always keep you safe from harm, I will lay my life for you. Give up my pack and my mate.” His last few words sounded like they were strangled from him. 

I knew that he spoke the truth and I also knew that I would never ask or want him to do that for me. Fate is twisted, I hate that we have to go through all this. That Jayden will pay such a huge price to protect me because that is what he was born to do. I cannot allow it. 

“There is more.”

I wasn’t sure if I could take more. 

“There is a reason you went into heat now. You will give birth to baby girl and once she is born everything will change. You will change and Killian, Chase and I will have to follow you.” Jayden said and I saw sadness and guilt wash over his face. 

“Alpha, you are lying to me.”

Jayden’s lifted his head and his eyes were wide with shock. Never before have I called him by his title. 

“No, you are Alpha. You are lying not to me but to yourself. You know there is darkness inside you, you know you will change and we all know that your child will save us all.”

“Stop it!” I shouted. I fell on my knees and covered my ears with my hands. 

“Please, listen to me Callie.” Jaden said as he knelt down beside me and pulled me into his arms. 

“I will kill myself.” I said softly through my tears and sobs. “No one needs to suffer because of me.”

“I can’t let you do that. I love you too much and that won’t solve anything. Those beasts who experimented on you will create others. You will put a stop to it all. We still need you, and the darkness won’t last forever.”

“Please just let me kill myself.” I cried. “Let me die. I want to die. Please don’t let me be the reason for so many others deaths. I don’t want any of you to give up all you have for me.”

My cries became louder and soon my room was filled with my parents, with Chase, with Sarah, with Killian and most importantly with Joseph who looked the most scared and sad.

I wanted to comfort him and tell him I love him, but I couldn’t move. I didn’t want to move. 

“I am sorry, but I won’t let anyone of you get hurt because of me.” 

“Callie, listen to me – “ My father began to say, but was cut off when I pushed Jayden away from me and an energy I learnt to control when I first discovered it started emitting from me. It surrounded me and me alone. It might be the only way for me to kill myself without any of the others helping me. 

They wouldn’t be able to cross it. None of them would be able to cross it. 

At least that is what I thought.
