The Alpha's Obsession

Our Fates

Avery’s P.O.V.

I looked at the clear sky above me with a wide smile. The sky was so clear that I could see clouds floating above in space. It was beautiful and breathtaking. The birds were flying at peace and the peaceful voices of crickets, small insects, and small birds all around me were making this place heaven.

Yeah… this must be heaven. If this is really a heaven then I don’t regret dying. I was lying on a flower bed in a vast garden. The sweet smells of so many different flowers in the air had a calming effect on a restless heart. I was in peace and wanted to stay here forever. The sun was shining brightly but there was a pleasant warmth in its light. I never saw the moon here ever since I opened my eyes in this place, but it didn’t matter. I didn’t know when I slept last, but I wasn’t tired and sleepy.

“You have to go back now, love. It’s time.” Suddenly, the surroundings filled with the same melodious voice that had welcomed me here when I opened my eyes for the first time. “I don’t want to. It’s too peaceful here,” I immediately protested while pouting and hugging my arms in front of my chest.

She laughed and I kept the same expression on my face. “Yes… this is a lovely place, my love, but you have a mission to fulfill,” she replied to me after her laughter died. I shrank my eyes in confusion. “Mission? What mission?” I asked her in a confused tone.

“The evil has already started spreading its wings in your world. S many innocents have lost their lives to it. For the sake of your world, it’s important to stop it,” she continued and I huffed in anger. “I don’t need to save a world filled with people like Martha and Nathan. It’s better for me to stay here instead of putting my life in danger for them,” I replied to her with a bit of anger and resentment in my tone.

“But the same world has people like your parents, your brother, and your friends. Do you also want them to suffer?” She asked me immediately, in the same light tone. I opened my mouth to say something but shut up when I remembered that my family was still there. My beloved brother and my parents were still in that pack. It was when I realized that I missed them.

Tears filled my eyes and I looked around to find the source of the voice but as usual, couldn’t find it. I missed my home. I missed my mother and the food she made. I missed the love and care of my father. I missed my brother’s bickering. I missed everything related to them. I was happy here but what is the use of this happiness if I couldn’t share it with them?

“For the sake of their lives, and the people like them, you have to go back, honey. You are born to fulfill a special mission and bring evil to its fate,” she said in the same loving and gentle tone. I sighed and looked around once again with tearful eyes. She was right. I needed to go back now. Soon, I felt my lids heavy, and I lay down once again. I would miss this place, but I needed to ensure the safety of my family first.

Soon I heard some noises around me which was completely opposite to what I had experienced these days. I was irritated by those noises. I was about to yell when I heard a very familiar shout. My heart stopped beating for a few seconds. I slowly opened my eyes, and my eyes immediately widened in shock and horror when I saw Nathan looking at me angrily.

I blinked harder and tried to understand what exactly was happening right now. How come I faced Nathan as soon as I opened my eyes? My heart was now hammering hard against my rib cage. He stopped in front of me while looking at me with resentment and hatred.

“I, Nathan Blakewood, the future alpha of the Blood Moon Pack, reject Avery Smith as my mate and my Luna,” he announced in a cold tone, and I clutched my chest once again. It was when I realized that I had travelled back in time to the time when he rejected me. The pain in my chest intensified, and I screamed at the top of my lungs in pain.

I closed my eyes and cursed my fate for having a mate like him. I was still three months away from my birthday. Even if he wanted to reject me, he should have waited for three months. How could he be so cruel towards me? I should be happy, but I was in pain and hurt instead. Why did the Moon Goddess joke with me about this cruelty?

I screamed in pain once again when the pain intensified, and soon my whole world turned black in front of my eyes. One thing that I knew well in my heart was that there was no way that I would ever forgive Nathan for what he did to me….. not now…. Not in the future….

Nathan’s P.O.V.

“I know what I did was a grave mistake, and I am really ashamed of that, okay? I ….. I …. Was impulsive …. An… and couldn’t stand th.. the cruel joke that the Moon Goddess did with both me and Avery. You know me, William. I would never hurt Avery intentionally. Th… that was just…. Just,” I paused and ran my fingers through my hair in frustration and anger.

William still had a cold face and it was hard to tell what he was thinking. I wanted him to believe me but deep in my heart, I knew that he hated me for hurting Avery. He hated me for putting his beloved sister’s life in danger. I didn’t know what to say to convince him that I wasn’t in the right state of mind when I rejected Avery.

“Done? Can I go now?” he asked me in a cold tone after a few seconds, and I growled lowly in anger. “You have to believe me, William. Please believe me,” I said in a desperate and angry tone once again.

"Why do I have to, huh?” he asked me immediately in the same tone. One thing that was different about William from other wolves in the pack was that he was more strong-headed and ruthless than others, including me and my father. Even my father couldn’t make him do anything against his will, despite the fact that he is the alpha of this pack.

“You are my childhood best friend, William. You know me better than anyone else. I am impulsive, short-sighted, and short-tempered. I always made mistakes out of impulse, and this." I paused and took a deep breath while looking at him with all the pain that I had in my heart.

“Martha conveyed a message to you,” he suddenly said in a cold tone, taking me off guard. “What?” I asked him in a daze while looking at him in a daze. “Martha said that she is sorry for everything that has happened because of your relationship with her. Never in her dreams had she expected that your relationship would hurt so many people. Now all she wants is to go away from here and find her mate so that she can live her life peacefully somewhere else. She said sorry for not standing with you in this situation. She asked for your forgiveness and said that she wishes for you to get Avery’s forgiveness and find your happiness too,” he said in a very cold tone, looking straight into my eyes with a blank expression in his eyes.

I just blinked harder while listening to him, not knowing how to react right now. There was a thick silence in the room between us. He had no expression, and my mind was completely numb now.

“For whom you have hurt, an innocent soul has abandoned you when you needed her the most. I want to pity you, but I can’t. You don’t deserve my pity. You don’t deserve anything from me or from my family. All our lives, we showered our unconditional love on you, but what did we get in the end? Pain???? Hurt? Can your apology bring Avery back to what she was before your rejection? Can you regret reversing the pain and suffering that my parents suffered all these months? I don’t want any redemption for my pain, but Avery and my parents are innocent. Can you reverse all the pain for them?” he asked me in the same tone and with the same blank eyes devoid of any emotions.

I was completely stunned by now. I just stared at him blankly, blinking hard, trying to figure out what I could say to him in response, but nothing came to mind. He scoffed, and without uttering any other word, he stormed out of the room, leaving me alone in the room. He banged shut the door behind me, and I fell down on the floor as my knees lost their strength.

There was no redemption of what I did to Avery. Above all, Martha is ready to move on after throwing away the guilt card. I still had this hope in my heart that she would come back to me as we both loved each other from the bottom of our hearts, but all my hopes were shattered now. After some time, I started laughing at my misfortune. I was the proud future alpha of this pack, and yet I ruined everything with my own hands.

I was waiting for my punishment when I could take oath as the alpha of this pack with my Luna. My Luna…. Avery….. I felt a pierce pain in my chest when her smiling face appeared at the back of my mind.

I clutched my chest tightly while trying to breathe, but I couldn’t breathe. Tears filled my eyes. In the past two months, I have learned everything about the pack and pack members that happened in the past ten years, the time when I was completely engrossed in my love story with Martha. I rejected a gem for a piece of glass and am now abandoned by her.

I gritted my teeth and punched the floor hard while thinking about Martha’s betrayal. If I had to take the downfall then I wouldn’t fall alone. I betrayed everyone for her and there was no way that I would let her go away so easily and let her find her happiness. If I am going to lose everything, I would make sure that she also faces the same fate.
