The Mistaken Alpha

Chapter 12

Ryan’s POV

I sat in the archives room for a while when Malcolm mind linked me. Alpha, the party starts soon, are you ready? s**t, I wasted my time trying to learn about Lana and lost track of time.

I’m going to get ready now. I tell Malcolm. With that I go back to my room to take a shower and get dressed.

As I step into the shower, my thoughts begin to drift to Lana. I mean it wasn’t her fault what happened to her parents. It happened to be a fluke event that was rare within the werewolf community. Based on her file, her mother had a blood clot that got loose during the birth process and ended up blocking one of her main arteries which caused her to have a heart attack.

Her father didn’t take well to losing his mate. I assume he got depressed and ended up taking his own life. That meant that Lana and her brother were orphans. With her father gone as the acting beta, her uncle stepped in and took over the role for his brother as beta. He also took in her brother but refused to take her in. She ended up going into the foster care system within the pack.

Her file doesn’t say anything else. I know it wasn’t her fault and that she shouldn’t have been punished for it. My pack would have treated the situation differently, but she is not apart of my pack. Due to her life events, she was stripped from her title as a beta family member.

My thoughts were all consumed about her, but now that I know the truth, I can move on. Even if she had beta blood in her, she is no longer a beta. She is an omega and a low ranking one at that.

As I wash off the rest of the soap on my body, I also wash out all the final thoughts I have of Lana. Sure, she is breath-taking, but I need to focus on my own future. Soon I will be mated to Abigail, and we will merge the packs. I need to keep my thoughts on Abigail.

 As I step out of the shower, I can hear the music coming from the party. Abigail will probably skin me alive because I missed her debut. I’ll just have to beg for her forgiveness later tonight and show her that she is the only she wolf for me. I only think about Abigail as I look at the ridiculous outfit, she is making me wear. She is making me wear a matching Hawaiian shirt to go with her skirt. She wants to match for the photos that will be taken when I see her for the first time, and we discover that we are mates.

As I finish getting dressed and head for the party, I can tell something big is going to happen tonight. Titus and I can tell that tonight we will find our mate.
