RIYA'S REALITY
Riya's POV
I stood up to head to the house. My life must not come to a halt because of those evil people. Yes… EVIL! You just heard me.
Both my sister and Martin weren't worth being in my life. I said again.
I had to distract myself.
I didn't know when I held out the ring Mr. stranger left and put it to my right paw. It was as if the ring was made for me.
But that should be his sign of fidelity to his mate, I thought again.
No.. He was too young to be mated. His voice told me so.
The ring fitted on my middle finger perfectly. Why I had it on the middle finger, I still couldn't tell.
I shouldn't see that Liya b***h in the house, I growled as I headed to see my father.
I had loved Alpha Luis more than his Luna, Luna Elizabeth who was my mother.
The bond between Alpha Luis and I was one I couldn't even describe. He always wanted the best for me, and this, he should understand.
Every wolf has the chance to either accept or reject a mate. Martin had rejected me. My father would understand.
"Just go ensure Riya is fine."
Alpha Luis's voice echoed as I found my way into the house.
They must be looking for me already, I considered.
My father still loved me. I can't believe even now, he still cared about my whereabouts.
"We're still valuable to them." My wolf whispered to me this time.
Saro had also told me we needed to be home. Yes, I was already being sought for.
"I can't even find her in.. "
My mother was about to complete her statement when our eyes met.
"Ohh.. she's here." Luna Elizabeth said, finding her way to my arms for an embrace.
I couldn't resist. I gave my mother a tight hug. I lasted for almost a minute in her arms.
I was happy they still liked me though I'd be unmated after eighteen.
My father moved close too.
With him, I rested for a hundred and twenty seconds in his arms.
***********
My sister got mated to Martin. I always feel like calling him "my Martin", just like I used to every time.
I had to come to the reality he was my sister's Martin, YES Liya my baby sister's Martin. He had chosen her. Yes, he chose her over me.
We had never had a fight or quarrel while we were together.
I had thought and thought about what I had done to him to deserve such treatment, embarrassment, and betrayal. Saro couldn't figure out anything either.
We haven't done anything but the goddess would fight for us. Yes, she would always protect the innocent.
This, I was ever sure of.
*********
"Your sister has been down with a fever. They said one of the omegas at the Elipse Blue Pack had poisoned her."
Why was Luna Elizabeth saying that to me? I growled.
It was three months past, And I never want to hear anyone mention Liya again since she got mated to my Martin. I mean, her Martin.
Karma was at work, I said in my head.
I was arranging the things in my make-up kit when I heard my mother make that statement.
I continued what I was doing, picking the colored liners that needed more attention in arrangement to show how busy I was.
"I just said your sister has been poisoned by some omegas at the Elipse Blue. Have you gone deaf?"
Luna Elizabeth was beginning to display that part of her I never liked. She always shouts at me at the slightest opportunity.
Alpha Luis would never do that to me, I growled.
I had to respond to her. But what to say, I didn't know.
"Tell her we have nothing to do about that." Saro quickly advised.
But my mother would get angry. She had told me to forgive Liya and make up for all that had happened. Not that I couldn't do that, but the devil never showed any sign of remorse.
She would hurt me even more if given another opportunity, I thought.
I never even considered Liya could do that to me. There are many handsome wolves at the Elipse Blue. She still chose my Martin.
"The goddess grants her a quick recovery." I turned to tell Luna.
The next day, at about sunset, the news came to my hearing.
"Liya is dead."
*********
It was five years past and I didn't hear from Martin again. He had lost his mate and I wondered how he coped.
It was the coronation of a new Alpha at the Moonlight Pack. Another pack not also far from ours.
Alpha Luis hasn't given up on me. He said he was taking me along as I could just get mated there.
I was 23 already and I couldn't believe I was still without a mate.
I sat just behind the high table. I didn't want to be far from the main event.
The sweet velvet scent wavered into my auditory organ again. I was sensing him, my mate.
I wondered who it was and whether I would be up for another rejection this time.
The scent was coming so close, like the velvet cake I loved.
"Was a coronation a perfect place to find a mate?" I cooed as I thought.
But I had to turn to see who it was.
The shock of my life! It was Martin. Martin of the Elipse Blue Pack again.
"God!! How can this be possible?"
Was he still my fated mate? I can't even think of it.
He had betrayed me and made me cry. The last few years of my life have been tears because of him. No..No.. I can't have him in my life again.
Waigu was to be crowned the new Alpha of the Moonlight Pack. He was unmated at 30 and I began thinking why my father had insisted I go with him to the coronation.
I may turn out to be Waigu's mate, my father must have thought. He wanted me to be Luna.
He wanted that for me and Liya, but now, Liya had died before her Martin could become an Alpha.
Martin is currently the Beta of the Elipse Blue. He had been projected from a Gamma to a Beta just last year.
He would become Alpha in no distant time. So Unfortunate, Liya would not be around to be his Luna.
But Waigu needed a Luna. The Moonlight wouldn't allow him to be their Alpha without providing them a Luna.
Saro and I had no expectations. We couldn't have ourselves hurt by any wolf again.
I was seated when Alpha Waigu came close.
I was still trying to process that Martin was still my mate when the bomb exploded…
"I ALPHA WAIGU, ACCEPT YOU, RIYA LUIS AS MY FATED MATE AND LUNA."
