A THING I NEVER THOUGHT OF
Did Martin just mark my younger sister? This time, my breath couldn't hold me.
Saro began making moves inside of me. This time, I wondered what she meant.
Have I just been rejected and betrayed by my boyfriend and seen him go over to my sister?
No.. No! It can never be. This time, Mother's "Expect anything and everything from anyone and at any time" didn't seem to work.
I felt like slapping Saro again as she kept making unsolicited noise within me. This is the best time she needs to be silent. I needed to process what was going on.
I watched as my sister ACCEPTED my boyfriend as her fated mate.
"I, Liya Luis ACCEPT you, GAMMA MARTIN, on this day as my fated mate.
Did Liya know she's my sister? Did she know I and Martin had been seeing each other? But she saw me off to his place at Elipse Blue Pack several times.
How it was all happening, I couldn't tell. Liya had betrayed me. Martin had broken my heart. My world was shattered.
I watched as my father buried his face between his thighs, my mother looked away in pity. For me, I thought.
I looked as I saw Liya happy without an iota of remorse. "What was really on?" I still couldn't decipher.
Has my sister been living under the same roof with me and seeing my boyfriend?
But how can Martin even think of doing that to me? I couldn't stop thinking.
We had always gisted how he would one day be made Alpha and how I'd pose as his Luna.
We had talked about how we would handle the Elipse Blue Pack and how we would render justice to all the Pack's maltreated omegas.
No..No.. I couldn't contain that. Someone still needs to tell me it wasn't true.
But I had watched, Martin had marked my sister as his mate. There was nothing I could do about it.
*********
I went to my room and couldn't contain my tears. I thanked goodness I didn't let loose my river of tears before the whole crowd.
I cried as if crying would reverse what had just happened. As if crying would bring back Martin to me; As if crying would undo the betrayal I had just seen between my only sister and my Martin.
Saro kept comforting me… "Ours would come. Martin is not the one."
Saro didn't understand what I was going through. She was just saying that so we wouldn't go insane, I thought.
I considered how my life would all be from there.
The entire house choked. Going out to see the outside world became the best I could do.
The house was still quiet as they were all still at the party hall. Whether or not they were celebrating Liya and her newfound mate, I do not know.
I walked, like a woman who had just given birth and had had an excessive postpartum hemorrhage, to the outside of the house.
I felt like moving away from the Blood Moon Pack entirely. But that, I couldn't do. Saro would caution me if I tried to do that.
I sighted a Neem tree not too far from the house. I also never wanted to go into the forest. I sat with Saro and we began crying again. That became the least we could do.
I cried until I no longer had my voice. "The Pack is full of disappointment.. Anyone can disappoint you." I eventually said.
I took my eyes up to gaze at nature, how the wind blew the leaves of the trees, and how every branch danced to the movement of the wind.
"We'd be fine," I told Saro. Even though I never expected a reply from her this time.
"You would be fine."
Who would that be? Did I just hear someone speak to me or it was Saro? But no, that wasn't Saro. Saro never spoke to me that way.
I wanted to turn to see who it was, but considered I was just having an auditory hallucination.
But I felt a hand tap me on my shoulders, the shoulder that was supposed to be marked by Martin.
It was a wolf I had never known.
"Yes, you'd be fine." The wolf uttered again.
"No need you turn, you wouldn't know me."
The wolf spat again as I made an effort to see who it was.
How would that be, even telling me I wouldn't know who it is? I know every omega in the Blood Moon Pack, and even the Elipse Blue Pack just close to us. Where was he coming from?, I thought.
Saro couldn't even help. My wolf had been silent since the strange voice distracted our quiet time together.
I felt a kiss on my head. I mean, over the top of my long braided hair.
He didn't allow me to see his face.
The thoughts of Martin immediately swept over me. How we had ourselves, how he kissed me by my ears the last time we f****d, as he knows all of my weak points.
The sounds of his moan ran over my mind. He was the only man I had known who moaned when we f**k.
That always had me excited, it always had us at the peak at almost the same time.
Now, he was all my sister's. My sister would have Martin and his large balls all to herself. What a betrayal! The nasty part of me thought.
I tried to have my thoughts on something else. Not Martin, not my sister. She wasn't even my sister anyway.
She had broken our ties that moment she said yes to Martin. No sister would do that to a sister. I considered it again.
I tried to have my mind away from the strange being. Whether he was a wolf or a god from another world, I didn't want to know.
I turned to see whether he was still there when I felt a ring fall off my shoulder.
He had left his ring. His marital ring with his mate, I growled.
