I am inlove with my Alpha but he is inlove with my younger sister.

Younger almost identical sister. She is the more popular and beautiful one, whiles I am the less cool and quiet one.

When I turned 19,I was over the moon to find out my mate was the Alpha.

But that happiness turn to sorrows and bitterness when I found out he was engaged to be married to my sister.

I begged and cried for him but he only rejected me,burning me to the soul and marking my sister.

I run that night,and never looked back.

Until 10 years later.

#1 in Love affair

#1 in powerful

"Crystal!! Where did you put it! Where did you put my Harry style shirt"I yell and stormed across my room into my younger sister's.

She has been getting on my nerves lately. Ever since I told her I didn't want a grand party for my 19th year celebration.

Just go with our traditional celebration and find my mate.

I slammed the door open to reveal an empty room.

Where is that little piece of shit!

"Serene, come downstairs right now" my mom voice yells from downstairs and I groan before leaving my sister's room.

She is so lucky I didn't trash it. I am going to a concert and I really need to wear that freaking shirt.

And before you can ask, yes I am crazy about Harry styles and I am his biggest number one fan. Also, yes we are allowed to mingle with humans as long as we mask our scent.

Our biggest enemies are the vampires. They have been vandalizing our pack borders lately. The witches are cooler than them.

Our Alpha has been trying to protect us as much as possible.

Speaking of alpha, he is the first person I see when I descended the last stairs.

Sitting down in all glory, his man spreading and strong thighs.

He is the most handsome man alive, strong, chiseled jawline, pointed firm nose, prettiest and brightest green eyes ever. His pink beautiful full lips that can do unimaginable things to a girl, is now set into a thin line.

He is frowning as usual, never smiling, always having a blank face.

Beside him was his beta, Darius, also having a blank face but a little bit relaxed.

"Serene, come sit down and stop standing there like a moron. And what are you wearing?" my dearest brother, Kaden says.

I blush when I realize I was dressed like a homeless person, baggy top and loose sweat pants.

My face even turned redder when I realized everyone was looking at me now. Crystal was smirking.

"Sorry,"I squeaked and secretly gave my brother the middle finger before taking my seat beside my dad.

He was the former beta of the pack to Alpha Eli, before he retired and his son Alpha Zander took control.

"So as I was saying, Serene will meet you on the night of her birthday, that is this coming Saturday, before mingling with the other men" dad says.

Yeah, I forgot about that. Alpha Zander hasn't found his mate yet since he turned 18, seven years ago. So every year, all the female unmated wolves meet him in person on the night of their birthday before meeting anyone else.

Thinking about that brings butterflies to my stomach. I have been in love with him ever since I reached puberty but not once as he looked my way.

Rumor has it that he has been secretly seeing my younger sister. But I don't believe it, he wouldn't be with someone underage.

Although it isn't a crime here, people find their mates as early as 16. The consent age here is 17. No judging but no, he wouldn't do that.

And my sister is 18,well she turned 18 a week ago.

"That would be perfect. I'll be taking my leave now. We need to check the borders again,"he says, his baritone voice ringing across the room and my body.

"Stop staring at him like that, you'll drool" my sister whispers in my ears.

"Fuck off Crystal! I am already mad at you for stealing my shirt"

Dad and the Alpha talk for a while before he leaves but not before glancing behind him and his eyes fall on mine, but it quickly leaves as it comes and it moves to my sister's.

His eyes soften and he smiles a little at her.

No.

I am just imagining it.

.

"So how is the preparation for the birthday going" my best friend, Tasha asks.

"You know crystal has everything covered. She is doing all the planning, I just need to be there for the rituals" I shrug and close my locker.

We began to walk down the hall,

"Sometimes I pity you my friend, you have no backbone, you need to stand up for yourself. This is your birthday,not hers,"she says

"I don't really care, I just want to find my mate and go to college like everyone else" I tell her.

"You wouldn't love that when you have a baby" she says

Tasha is two years behind in school. She found her mate before her final year of high school and fell pregnant immediately, she had to drop out and take care of the children and then return two years later.

"But you are okay. Faye has been helping you out" I say referring to her husband.

"Yeah, he is a goddess sent. " She says and just then the bell rings.

"I'll see you at basketball practice,"she says and we parted ways into our various classes.

Oh shit, I left my phone in my car.

I groaned and walked back out of the car.

I retrieved my phone and was about to leave when a rattle from the forest startled me.

"Who is there?" I asked with confidence I didn't have.

I walked closer to ready to call for help if it was dangerous, by that I mean Cunning vampires.

I entered the shallow forest and the noise seems to be moving forward.

I need to alert my brother.

I immediately shifted into my gray wolf. I haven't been able to talk to her since I shifted when I was 16. Dad said we'll hear them when we turn 19.

Bones cracked and finally I was in my wolf form. Fuck this hurt! 2 years and I still can't handle the pain.

I sprint toward the moving sound, but it disappears after a few minutes.

I stopped in my tracks realizing I just fucked up.

Oh shit!

What is wrong with me! Why didn't I just call my brother.

I tried to get in touch with him, but nothing came.

Oh freaking shit!

I am out of our borders.

My limbs begin to shake when I hear rattling again.

This is how it ends Serene. You didn't get to kiss Alpha Zander, and you are about to die.

I am sorry mom and dad. Please forgive me.

"Who are you and what do you want in my territory!" a strong yet very familiar voice says.

I turned around so fast I thought I teleported.

There he was, standing there was Alpha Zander, in nothing but sweat pants, that was hanging low on his waist.

His v-line disappears into the pants. He looks so yummy right with his glistening body.

"Shift!" he commands, and I did without a thought.

Maybe I should have thought about it because now I am naked In front of him.

"Oh fuck!" he curses under his breath and turns around.

"What are you doing here! Are you trying to get yourself killed!" he yells before throwing me a shirt.

I put it on immediately and he faces me again. His face raging in anger

"I thought...." he cut me off

"Get out of here. I don't want you near this ground anymore! Do you understand!" he says in his alpha tone making me kneel.

"Yes alpha!" I mutter before walking away.

Asshole.

Saturday

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday little princess, happy birthday to you "my mom sang waking me up from the bed.

I am finally 19 years old. I am finally legal in my home, I am off age now. I can get into clubs now.

" Thank you mom"I smile at her, always honouring our birthday tradition.

That is waking up to a birthday song in bed.

"Blow your candle princess" she says and I take the little cupcake with the number 18 candle on top.

I blow it and she claps her hands excitedly.

"Now, freshen up and get ready, we have a lot to do today. Your brother and sister are already done,"she says and I nodded.

I freshened up and stood In front of the mirror for a while while staring at my reflection.

Yep, the changes happened immediately it struck midnight this dawn.

My boob has become bigger than the actual size, my waist has become slimmer and I have grown a little bit taller.

I'll say 5'9.

Normal average werewolf height.

Wow I really look like a woman, I just hope I find my mate today.

'Of course we will' someone says and I got startled.

Who the fuck is that? Did Crystal get in my head again.

'No silly, I am your wolf' the soft female voice says again and I sigh in relief.

"Oh wow,this is better than I expected. I can't believe I am able to finally talk to you"I say excitedly.

'me too. My name is Averia, but you can call me Ria"she says

"Nice to meet you Averia, I am Serene but you can me Rene" I tell her and she wiggles her tail in excitement.

'We are going to have some fun today' she says and goes back to the back of my head.

I changed into a black denim jeans and brown off the shoulder top. I curled my hair and applied a little bit of make up.

I made my way downstairs for breakfast and we went to the mall for the day.

The entire day was shopped and bought all kinds of girlie stuff for the birthday celebration.

Our last stop was at the gown shop, and I picked the prettiest gown ever.

We then got our hair and nails done before going back home to set everything up.

By the time evening came, everything was ready and set.

I just got out of the shower, my dress hanging beautifully in my room, along with the family necklace, my phone suddenly rings.

I answered immediately when I saw Tasha's name.

"Sup girl?" I say into the phone.

"Serene, I need your help. My car broke down in the middle of the woods near the mall. Can you come and pick me up "she says hurriedly.

Oh that place is dangerous.

" Okay, I'll be there in 15 minutes"I tell her and hang up.

I immediately put on a black romper and grabbed my car keys. Left through the window because mama would be pissed if I don't get to see the Alpha before the party.

Which I am going to miss by the way.

.

"Serene, where have you been?" my mom scolds looking at me and Tasha in anger.

"I went to pick up Tasha, mom. She was stranded. I am sorry,"I told her.

"You'll kill me one day. Hurry up and change, there is around I haven't heard anything yet. You can join the party, you'll see him there,"mom says and I nodded.

Tasha and mom took me upstairs and helped me dress.

My dress was a corset off the shoulder dress. I pair it with silver heels and matching jewelry.

"You look beautiful my darling. May the moon goddess bless you with a good mate,"she blesses me.

"Thank you mother" I replied.

"Come on let's go and enjoy your party" Tasha says happily.

.

After all the rituals were done on the ceremony grounds, the party began, and we started mingling with the others.

My wolf has been giddy ever since we started mingling, and I know something is up.

"Mate! I can smell him! I can smell it, mate. Can we go to him?" she says, wiggling her tail.

"Are you sure he is here?" I asked.

"Yes! Now go to him!" she yells, and I follow her directions.

The sweet scent of mint and wood fills my nostrils as I walk through the rose bush.

What would he be doing here?

I stopped when I heard muffled voices.

"How can it be her? You have to reject her. I am the one for you. You love me!" someone cries.

Wait, is it Crystal??

"I know it isn't that easy, but I'll do it. I love you, and nothing else will come between us," the man whispers.

"Mate is here. Follow the scent!" Ria yells at me.

As much as I want to know who my sister is talking to, I need to find my mate.

I walked around the bush and stopped in my tracks when I saw two people kissing.

"Mate! That is mate! But... but... but mate is with another woman! Mate is hurting us," Ria says, reflecting on our emotions.

"Mate!" I whisper, my eyes beginning to glow bright yellow. Ria wants to come out.

"Mate!" a very well-known voice says.

The couple broke apart, and if I didn't want to faint before, I want to faint now.

Alpha Zander is my mate, and he is kissing my sister! My younger fucking sister.

I stepped back a little as everything dawned on me. The rumors are true; it has been her.

It always has been her.

'mate is hurting us. I can't talk to mate's wolf. He is blocking us,' Ria cries in my head.

"Why would you do this? How can you do this, Zander! What did I ever do to you?" I yell, about to attack him, but he is in front of her within seconds, protecting her.

He is choosing her over us.

"Stay down, Serene. This has nothing to do with your sister. I am sorry you had to find out this way," he says calmly.

"Okay, I am going to forget everything. Let's just go, Alpha," I say simply, trying to control my anger.

"You don't get it, Serene. I can't be with you. I am in love with her, and I plan on marrying her and making her my Luna," he says.

"Wait, what? What is that supposed to mean? I am your mate. You can't reject me, Alpha. I might die," I say, my eyes shining with tears.

Rejection is a shame and disgrace upon one's family and herself. It is also painful, and given he is an Alpha, I might die.

"I am sorry, but it is a risk I am willing to take," he says, and I think I might die before the rejection.

"Why her? Am I not good enough for you?" I whisper, feeling Ria's wail.

"I am sorry, but you are not the one for me," he says. I know what he is about to do next.

"I am the one for you. The Moon Goddess chose me, not her!" I cry, tears cascading down my face.

"She chose wrongly," he says with finality.

"Please, Alpha."

"I, Alpha Zander McLean, reject you, Serene Gun, as my mate and Luna," he says.

And I scream as I feel something break within me. Ria wails in agony.

Then everything goes black.

I woke up with a splitting headache. What the heck happened?

"Oh Serene, I am so glad you’re awake. You gave us a scare," Mom says, rushing to my side.

She places a cup of water down and sits beside my bed.

"What happened?" I ask groggily.

"I don't know, Alpha Zander brought you unconscious. He said he found you in the bush unresponsive. The doctor said it might be a rogue attack. I am just glad you are okay," she hugs me.

Attacked?

My bedroom door opens again, my eyes meet hers, and that is when everything starts coming back.

Crystal and Alpha Zander.

They were kissing.

Him choosing her over me.

The rejection.

Averia's pain.

'Ria,' I called out to her.

'Yeah,' her weak voice responds.

'What is wrong? Are you okay?' I ask worriedly.

'I am trying to be strong for us. I am dying by any minute. I need mate,' she whimpers weakly.

'He rejected us, Ria,' I almost yelled at her. She whimpers in pain and retreats to the back of my head.

"Oh Serene, I am so glad you are okay," Crystal says and rushes to climb my bed.

She takes my hands into hers, and I immediately pull away as if she burned me.

She did burn me.

In the worst way possible.

"Don't touch me," I glared at her.

"Serene! Don't be rude to your little sister. You don't know how much she has cried for you," Mom scolds and walks into my bathroom.

"Did you tell them the truth?" she asks worriedly.

"How can I do that if I just woke up? You already know Mom is going to know her little daughter is a two-faced whore and mate stealer," I tell her.

"Don't call me that! I loved Zander way before he even became the Alpha. Don't pretend I didn't notice how you looked at him; I knew you also liked him, but I was too deep to let him go. I am sorry this happened, but nothing can be done about it," she says.

"A lot of things can be done about it. You can find your own mate and leave mine alone. You are so young, Crystal,it will be very odd for you to find before your 19th birthday!" I tell her.

"I can't, " she whispers.

"Why can't you?" I asked.

"I am sorry Serene but I can't, I am already carrying Zander's child," she says, and my face falls and my heart drops.

"What! What! How can you do that! Why will you do that to me ! Does Mom know about any of this? You are only 18 fucking years old." I asked,my voice was full of anger.

"No.. Keep your fucking voice down. Mom doesn't know about it, we were planning on telling them once your birthday was over and you weren't his mate. We didn't know this would happen! I know I am young but I love him and you won't stop me. My age is a rightful age to find a mate. A lot of wolves are married at my age." she says.

"Shut up, Crystal. I can't believe you are even my sister. You being my sister doesn't mean I forgive you. You hurt me so much. I hate that. You two are so horrible; you plan on sending me away!" I yell at her.

"Keep it down, Serene; Mom will hear you. I am sorry that this has to happen, but nothing could be done about it," she keeps on saying that.

"Why do you keep saying that?!" I shout in anger.

"Because Alpha and dad spoke this morning.Our wedding date has been set. We have already announced our engagement"she says and I feel like the walls are closing in on me.

My mom walks out of the bathroom with my dirty laundry.

"What..mom is it true. Is crystal getting married"I ask tears well up in my eyes

"Oh yes,I forgot to tell you that. Alpha Zander is her mate after all and we have already given them our blessings. The wedding will be on the next full moon. I can't believe it took hid wolf so long to figure out my youngest daughter is his mate"mom says and walks out with the laundry.

"I am sorry, Serene. You need to accept his rejection. I love him," my sister says and stands up, leaving me in a sobbing mess.

I can feel Ria wallowing in pain.

"I am so sorry I disappointed you, Ria," I whispered, and she responded with a whimper.

Later in the afternoon, the pack doctor came to check on me and said I was fine but would heal with time.

Something tells me he knows what is going on but has been made to keep quiet.

I didn't leave the room until 6 PM when my brother came to call me downstairs for dinner.

I stopped in my tracks when I spotted four foreigners in the room.

Alpha Zander, Beta Darius, Alpha Eli, and Luna Nara.

"Serene, my oh my, I am sorry for what happened. I hope those rogues are caught and dealt with," Luna Nara says and gives me a hug.

"Luna. Alpha Eli," I bow to them.

"Alpha and Luna are here to help us with the wedding preparation. We are going to be a family after all," Dad says, and they chuckle.

At that moment, I wish I hadn't raised my head.

Alpha Zander has his hands wrapped around my sister's waist, and she is hugging his side with her head on his torso.

"That is wonderful. I think I am going to go for a walk. The doctor said I need it," I tell them.

"Nonsense, you can go for a walk tomorrow," Mom says.

"Yes, sis, I need you here since you are going to be my maid of honor," my sister says with a sweet smile.

"Sure, why not," I went back to my seat, and the dinner began.

.

The following weeks were torture. I watched as my sister and Zander paraded around the village as if nothing happened. I always tried to keep Ria under control every time we were around him. He practically ignored our presence.

I sometimes wondered how he kept his wolf under control, or if he too was in love with Sansa, my sister's wolf. She found out on her 17th birthday. She was an early bloomer.

But today seals my fate. The night of the full moon is tonight, which means my sister's wedding is today.

The house has been quiet, but I stayed in my room. It is bad enough to watch your mate with another woman but also to stand by their side as they make a complete fool out of you.

That night, I watched them get married and perform the rituals. That night, I felt him mark her, and I nearly died.

A part of me was lost.
