Bound By Fate, Betrayed By Blood

CHAPTER 4

RINA'S POV

The new Alpha? But how?. My dad didn't wait any second, after dropping the news he went outside immediately.

"What new Alpha is dad talking about?," Catherine asked her two friends as they all kept staring at each other.

I made my way outside immediately to see for myself. To know exactly what dad was actually talking about. Everyone was already gathered in a particular place. The music and everything had already stopped. I tried to make my way through the crowd because I wasn't seeing anything from where I was standing but before I could reach the front; I was stopped by my mum. She dragged me back inside the house and I noticed that she had also stopped Catherine and her friends.

"What do you think you girls are doing?, it's not yet time to come out. When it's time I will let you know." My mum said as she kept staring at all of us.

"But...mum we just wanted to know what is happening, dad had said a new Alpha had returned..." I tried to explain to her.

"Yes Rina, your dad is right. He just came back from his studies. We all thought he wasn't going to come back again since he had lived his life over there." My mum responded.

"But...what about Lucas' mum, he is the supposed Alpha." Catherine said, already getting pissed off. I could feel that she was trying so hard to accept the truth.

"I'm not sure honey. Alpha Douglas has the right answer to that for now. So what you have to do now is to go back inside and finish up. The wedding is still holding." My mum responded, then immediately dragged Catherine inside with her and we all followed both of them.

At this point I really do not understand anything that was happening again. It seems Lucas we have all known to be the next Alpha is no longer qualified because his brother is back. Wow this is really hard to take and for a reason I feel bad for Catherine. She has always wanted to become the Luna but now she won't.

"Rina," my mum called out to me thereby making me a little scared. I must have really been thinking so hard.

"What exactly are you thinking about, I have been calling you." My mum said, her face looking so upset.

"Who knows, probably thinking of how she will ruin my day or happy that I may not become the next Luna." Catherine said, then turned to look at me with a smirk on her face. "Listen twin, no matter what, I'm still your Luna; take it or leave it. It's your choice."

"It's okay Honey, you are going to ruin your makeup if you continue like this, no one is taking your position." My mum said, as she tried to touch up Catherine's makeup.

"Mum, you called me earlier," I said, trying to remind my mum. She must have forgotten that she had called me before.

"Yes...yes...come with me," she said then she looked at Nora, "...and you too..."

My mum then stood up from the chair she was sitting on and before she turned to leave she gave Catherine a peck on her cheeks. Well, obviously her favourite daughter.

I and Nora followed my mum back to where the crowd were, everyone had all scattered and continued what they were doing. The music was also back on. It seems everything has actually been resolved now.

"Now, you two will help out with serving the drinks to everyone to make things faster. Do you understand?" My mum said and we both nodded our heads. My mum left both of us together then went over to meet dad.

"You see Rina, sometimes I wonder if you were actually Cat's blood because why would you be serving on your sister's wedding day." Nora said with a smirk on her face. She always find any little opportunity to get on my nerves but I will make sure that she doesn't make me feel less of myself today.

We both got to where the drinks were and before I could get a drink, Nora had emptied a glass on me. I was so pissed off.

"Ouch, I didn't see you there," she said then burst into laughter.

I felt so embarrassed, other people who were there also started laughing. They were actually having fun looking at me in a mess. My hair was already in a mess now and with my dress. I tried to walk out on them but Nora stopped me and decided to embarrass me the more.

"It's her sister's wedding and she is the one serving the drink. What does it mean? It means that she is not wanted here. A wolfless wolf doesn't have a place in our pack." Nora said as she picked up a cupcake and then threw it at me.

Now that's it, I have really had enough. I tried to defend myself before someone else stepped In for me.

"What is actually going on here," he asked in a manly voice. He doesn't look familiar at all. By looking at him, I noticed he was 7 inches taller than me with a broader chest and a charming face to die for. For a reason I was drawn to him and he saved me today.

"Come on handsome, just stay out of this." Nora said as she tried to flirt with him.

"Back off," he said, then turned to face me. He doesn't only have a charming face but his eyes look so beautiful and I could see it sparkle and his lips... his lips..., "are you alright," he said as he placed his hands on mine. I could feel an electric between us. What exactly is wrong with me? I quickly removed my hand from his.

"Who exactly do you think you are." Nora said, with anger in her voice, as she tried to lift another glass to empty on his body.

"Don't you dare," he immediately stopped her and took the glass from her hands.

"You will soon find out who I am." He said then immediately someone else comes to inform him about something and he then drinks from the glass before dropping it and making his way out.

I couldn't stand there again to look at anyone. I quickly made my way inside. The embarrassment was too much. Nora had gone too far and I really can't be leaving here with people that don't want me. It was the perfect time for me to leave now that everyone is celebrating Catherine and Lucas. I gathered my stuff, not that I had much anyway. I took the few things that are important to me.

Before I left I took one last look at my room, it was where I had spent so many years hiding from the world, dreaming and hoping. I thought about the secrets I shared with no one, the quiet night just by looking through my window. I would be living all that now. I know I will miss it all but I don't have a choice. I was going away and I don't know if I will ever come back. I know no one will miss me, they have caused me so much pain and now they are the reason why I was leaving.

I took my remaining stuff and before I could head out from my room I heard voices from outside.

"I'm really worried," I heard one of them say before a pause.

Worried? About what? I tried to put my ears very well to hear every detail. Then she continued with so much fear in her voice, "how… are we going to…tell madam Catherine that…that…her fiance is missing."

What? Lucas is missing? But how?...
