Destined To Be Alpha's

PLAIN Riya's POV "Do you think I'll look beautiful in this?" "You always love pink. I know you chose this gown just because of its hue. You'd always look good in pink." Liya had just boosted my self-confidence. I would be turning 18 tomorrow and I knew I'd finally meet my mate. My mother met her fated mate when she was just 16. Now, I was two years older than 16. Now was the time, I thought. Alpha Luis couldn't wait too. Alpha Luis was my father and never wanted any of his children to meet their mate at a later age. Sixteen to eighteen, he always told us. Alpha Luis would always sit us down to tell us how he marked his Luna, my mother. He wanted us to get married to Alpha's or potential Alpha's too. But Liya was without a boyfriend. I was the only one with Martin, the Gamma of the Elipse Blue Pack and I loved him just as he loved me. ******* I was all happy, that Martin would be there. Of course, he had to. I thought. I'd be marked tomorrow.. yes, the thought kept coming to me. But I didn't care whether it would be an Alpha, a Beta, or a Gamma. Although I knew Martin was the Gamma of his Pack. I'd be marked. Saro, the wolf within me had told me that too. "Everything is all set and everyone is waiting for you." I heard Luna Elizabeth, my mother yell from the living room. She was heading to my room, to see what I was doing. But Liya was only trying to hook up my gown from the back. My father had gone himself to the biggest market in the Pack to get me that gown. My 18th birthday was so important to him. I'd find my mate, my father probably thought too. I told Liya to hasten up doing my dress. I had a pair of black heels to wear. It would compliment pink, I thought. I had thought of wearing pink from head to toe.. to become "the pink girl". But it would make me look odd on my big day, I eventually considered. We set out for the party, with Liya walking just behind me, like a chief bride mate. She was my only sister and the only thing I had. Everyone was seated, I looked through to see if Martin had arrived already. My big day would be incomplete without him, I said to myself. Finding himself here shouldn't even be a problem. His Pack was just next to ours. I was happy my father had known him too. Plus, Martin is a Gamma. He may become his Pack's Alpha someday. That should make my father even more happy if he eventually becomes my mate. "Come sit here with me." A voice said from behind me. The voice sounded just like Martin's. But he shouldn't be sitting behind, I thought. He should be just close to his mate. I perceived it too. A smell like that of a velvet cake. I love velvets. He was my mate, I thought. I had finally found him. Again, Saro affirmed that at a close whisper within my ears. It was my big day, and I needed him so much, so much close. Especially now I have sensed him as my fated mate. He should be close to making marking me easier, I thought. "We now give room for the celebrant of the day for cutting of the cake." The Master of the ceremony, a wolf my father had picked from one of the omegas said. I heard rounds of applause. They were all waiting to see me. My gown was long, I had to be careful not to step on it as I walked up the stage, where the cake was kept. It was pink too. Alpha Luis had planned my big day, I thought. I felt Liya should walk up with me but that may seem impossible. She wouldn't even consent, I thought. She should wait until she turns eighteen too. They spelled RIYA as I had the cake cut. Luna Elizabeth, my mother was by my side. That part ended and I told the Master of ceremony I wanted to hear Martin talk. He had been with me since I turned twelve. He had been all I needed in a boyfriend so I needed the mic. given to him to say sweet words about me too. Alpha Luis had spoken, my mother had, and Liya had too. And now, he would complete the euphoria within me. "He could just have you mated at this time. Get ready." Saro whispered to me. She was eager too.. she needed someone we could officially call our own. To her, all the years I have been with Martin was like a hide and seek, that we were only playing around even though our families had known us. But I had to be calm. I felt like slapping Saro to keep her mouth shut. Expectations hurt, my mother would always say. But again, I felt that could happen. Martin would have me marked on my special day, my 18th birthday. That was the only deadline I had, else I would go over my father's expectations. "Following this day's celebrant request, We now invite Gamma Martin for his special remark." It wasn't okay the omega had pointed out according to my request. Why won't he just invite him to the stage without mentioning me? But it was fine, my Martin was already heading to the stage and I was excited already. I heard Saro gave a leap of happiness within me too. "I, GAMMA MARTIN, REJECT you, RIYA LUIS on this day, as my fated mate." Was I dreaming.. what did I just hear him say? I needed someone to wake me up it was a dream, a trance, or even a mirage. I heard Saro go quiet inside of me. It was true. The love of my life had just rejected me, on my big day. In public, before Alpha Luis and Luna Elizabeth, my parents. Before Liya, my younger sister that looked up to me. Before all the guests from the neighboring packs who had come to celebrate with me. Before all the Alphas and Betas present. And above all, before all the poor omegas. I couldn't believe it. All eyes turned to me, to see my countenance and whether I would cry blood or tears. "I, RIYA LUIS, on this day, ACCEPT your rejection, GAMMA MARTIN. Where I got the strength to utter what came out of me I couldn't still tell. All eyes were on me again. They were all astonished. But that was the least I could do. "Expect anything and everything from anyone, and at any time." Luna Elizabeth's words strengthened me as they went through my head. But then, I watched as the shock of my life happened. Martin headed straight to Liya and gave her a thing I don't know between her shoulder and neck.
