Chapter 7: Chapter 7

Scott

Elena was a gentle soul, she didn’t deserve any form of mockery of any sort of shame, I am determined to make her happy and even very comfortable with me.

It is our wedding day and I might as well take full responsibility and charge , in the long run everyone will know me for my worth they’ll understand and know the truth .

I asked Elena to join me on the dance floor, we looked like a perfect match and an arrangement even the heavens would have had picked for us. Deep down, I knew she didn’t want me and she never will, the disgust on her face when she looks at me and the disdain in her voice gave it all away.

As I held her palm in mine to dance slowly to the rhythm of the song, she looked at me straight in my eyes without fear, something kicked inside of me , I enjoyed the warmth of dancing with her, I wasn’t sure what I was feeling deep down.

I examined her face, her tender and smooth skin, her long hair falling over her face, her well shaped lips and even her scent, I saw her crack up a genuine smile , she blushed for only a second a half.

How can someone so delicate and beautiful be this much courageous, strong and unshaken.

I admired her strength but I wasn’t sure if that was the only thing I admired, I was beginning to see Elena differently, she was arousing something in me, that was my Alpha instinct kicking in.

I remember I wanted to do everything right this time , I decided to live out my life as who I truly was, there’s only enough my father and his wife could do to me now , I was no longer bound or shackled to them. I have decided to live my own life to the fullest.

We broke out of the dance when the DJ switched up the music to a pop music , I saw something glimmer in her eyes, I had never seen that before, but she quickly went away from me , few seconds ago it felt like she enjoyed the comfort of my arms.

I snuck away from the bustle and jolly of the reception , I was now mated to Elena , I had accepted that , I wasn’t just going to play my part , I only wanted to clear my mind and make the right choices and decisions.

I heard footsteps approaching.I turned around , it was my girlfriend Kylie , wearing a full disguise .

What are you doing here?. I Asked her

“I hate you Scott, you are not a man, what about everything we share, all our dreams and ambitions, our goals and how we have envisioned our family , what about our son ?”

Our son? I asked, confused as one could be.

Kylie looked at me in tears.

“I’m pregnant Scott, I’m pregnant. I don’t know what to do , I didn’t want to add up to your stress with all that’s been going on in your house. I hoped that we would be able to sort it out and finally run away together as we planned , then I would have told you . We would have our little celebration. “

I starred at her as she said all of this, I couldn’t even utter a word, I haven’t been so confused in a long time, it’s true I am wreckless and worthless, I was beginning to understand that even without Luna Sandra setting me up, I still wouldn’t be fit to rule the colony.

I wish I had a mother, I remember all stories my father had told me about my mother, she was fierce l, strong and a fighter. She was brave and very supportive , she helped build his Empire, she was very hardworking and had really smart ideas. I could use a smart idea right now cause I feel so lost.

I had wanted to break up with Kylie but I couldn’t find the best way to tell her, I sincerely and genuinely love her, I didn’t want to hurt her , I know I had a previous plan with Elena , but I wasn’t sure it was going to work, I didn’t know if we were going to be able to pull that through without getting caught, I was scared for both ourselves, It was a huge offense punishable by death in our colony, let alone the wrath of an Alpha.

I wanted the best for everyone, I couldn’t make everything happy , this was a total deal breaker.

But I put my head up and raised my shoulder up like I had everything under control, I would have to be mean just this once to the person I love.

Kylie, I don’t want anything to or with you or the baby, I just got married and I’ll like to focus on my new family, I’ll like to start something new, you can do whatever you want with the baby, that’s your choice. I need you to leave now please.

She landed a heavy slap on my face, she was crying profusely but, I intentionally looked away and watched her run off covered in tears.

This was no time to slack, there’s a huge ceremony going on inside because of me , I had to chin up and smile and most importantly I needed to see Elena. I made my way to the reception with everyone screaming congratulations.

This was not the time to cry over spilled milk, I couldn’t wait for the day to be finally over.

Elena

“What is going on here? Why wasn’t I informed that the marriage is today?”Elijah asked.

He came in drunk and smelling of alcohol, I looked at him in shock. This isn’t my friend , this isn’t the person I fell in love with.

Elijah was destroying things at the reception and scattering everywhere, he kept calling out to Scott.

Scott rushed in trying to hold him down to stop him from destroying more things and ruining the reception totally. But Elijah was in no mood for jokes.

“ You can’t marry her you are a weakling, you are not an Alpha and will never be one. You are not good enough for her Scott.”

“You are a little cry baby , you have nothing to offer her , I can’t let you marry her “

Elijah, stop it. Who are you to tell who is allowed to marry me and who is not?

He turned to me with his eyes red from crying and he said; Tell him you can’t marry him Elena, tell him you are in love with me, tell everyone the truth Elena. Let’s put an end to this madness.

Elena, I’m crazy about you, I have always been in love with you, I need you as much as I need air to breath. I know you want this more than I even do. Just say yes and let’s call all of this off.

I looked at Scott, I could see fear in his eyes, but I didn’t know what it is that he was so scared of.

I heard Alpha Damien say, why didn’t hesau he had feelings for her, why did he wait up until now before saying how he really felt.

Leaving dra liked so perturbed by the happenings, if she had a way , I knew she would murder Elijah for this disgrace. He came off as weak and she never wanted Alpha Damien, to see Elijah as weak.

I was eyeing Elijah in complete anger and fury , it’s already too late, Elijah, you have you girlfriend and yes I know about all the girls you got pregnant, I know about how you forced them to get abortions for you.I know all about your conniving mother.

Elijah, please correct me if I’m wrong, I sincerely hoped that he would argue, I needed him to say everything I had just said was a lie and someone was trying to frame him up. I know Elijah like the palm of my hands, he would never stand injustice let alone be accused falsely.

But he stood there numb and in tears. You’re despicable Elijah, stay the hell away from me, but he pushed further to come close to me and Scott intercepted.

“Stay away from her “he roared and tried to touch me to see if I was okay, I shrugged and quickly pulled away, shooting deadly daggers at him with my eyes and warning him never touch me again.

They both turned it into a fist fight, and exchange of punches were made, Elijah was so drunk, he couldn’t last 10seconds standing upright and Scott helped him to stand on his feet again.

Luna Sandra approached them angrily, pulling Elijah to get side and she said ;Must be nice to play the victim here , after all we know what you did, everyone does and if you think this stunt you’re putting up is going save you from shame and disgrace, it won’t.

Great, my parents stood there, I looked at them and I could tell that they were in no mood for a pep talk. I was married after all and that was all that really mattered right now.

The guest were already leaving and very soon it will time to share the same bed with my “beloved” mate. This was my reality, it will as no longer a dream.

I would be living with ny husband and my crush in the Alphas mansion.
