Redemption of the Second Mate

I crept into the pack house and headed straight for David's chamber. It's unbelievable that my ideal has at last materialized. It had always been David and my dream to be mated by the moon goddess. Even though we were in love, we still desired the moon goddess' approval, which was granted today. Camilla, my wolf, and David's wolf must have sensed the same pull that I had. I was thrilled with excitement as I tiptoed into David's room. Although sneaking about isn't actually necessary, it was nonetheless fun to do. I was making furrows in my brows when I heard noises coming from David's chamber. "Ahh, David, my goodness..." My eyes went wide when I heard moans coming from the room. A fear of the truth we were about to learn made my wolf cower. "No?" I scowled more as I cautiously grasped the doorknob and started to unlock it. Before I realized what was happening, tears were streaming down my face. When I saw David in bed with a woman, I swallowed. "s**t! David! You're really talented, huh? My eyes expanded as she let out another groan. Why is her voice so recognizable? That's the reason it was Maria, my elder sister, My ideal individual. How was she able to? No, something has to be wrong. Maria refused. She is aware of my affection for David and is a huge supporter of our bond. They turned quickly to face me as I threw open the door with a thud. When I realized that it was, in fact, Maria, my heart broke. I glanced from Maria to Jack and back again. As I saw them stay there and not even attempt to get up and apologize, more tears streamed down my face. "David?" He smirked at me when I called in shock. "Hi Clara," At this point, he got out of bed and said goodbye to Maria. He was not ashamed to be nude. My gaze shifted to Maria, who was hidden by the covers; I could see the sly smile lighting up her face. With a raised hand, she addressed me, "Hi sister," she said with a smile on her face and moving fingers. My man was having s*x with her! She was aware of David and my relationship. She was our biggest fan, and we had been dating for years. How could she subject me to this? "That witch, you!" I cried out, losing all composure. I matched her in wrath, yanking her by the hair. "You b***h, come down here and fight me!" I yelled, yanking her hair even harder. I felt a powerful tug at my waist before I could plant the smack I had planned for her on her cheek. I landed with a thump on the wall after being tossed roughly to the other side of the room. "Aghhh!" I moaned and tried to get to my feet. My hands and feet stayed on the ground as more tears streamed down my face, and then I looked up to see David standing there. He started, "This should be the last time you ever, in your miserable life, touch Maria, my Luna, and my mate ever again. This will be my last warning to you." My hands clenched into fists, and I felt as though I had lost feeling in my legs. My wolf let out a pained whimper, and I heard my ears ring. Another person, his partner? "David, this is my—" "Cease the f*****g up!" Then he said, "My name is Alpha David. Say it correctly! I continued to cry while I sniffed. It was simply unbelievable to me. Why did I have to experience this? When would the moon goddess finally assure me that David was my mate? Why didn't David also sense it? similar to how I was...? I said to myself as I strained to stand on two feet: I'm yours, David. I am your partner. He pulled his face away, saying, "I do not know you," which made my heart race. Why had she moved on from him? He happens to be in love with me. How could he be unfaithful to me by using my sister? "But you cherish me," I'm not sure if that was a statement or a question. Clara, do you not understand? David has never met you. When he doesn't know you, how can he love you? Maria smirked as she asked. Now she stood next to David, chin up, head held high, like Luna of the pack. similar to the Alpha's mate. She is none of that, though. I wish I had never had her as a sister, because she is a terrible betrayal. A goat dressed as a sheep and a chameleon. With fury in my eyes, I slapped her forcefully. David grabbed my left arm and spun me around the moment I hit her, just to slap my cheek as well. "Arggh!" My hand shot to my hurting cheek, and I sobbed. "I had forewarned you. Let me remind you that between us, we have zero. Do you believe I'm your partner? Alright, whether I'm your mate or not, I'll reject you now." "No, David—" I sobbed and got down on my knees to plead with him, but he spoke loudly and turned a deaf ear. "I, David Thompson, the sole offspring of the Alpha King and the forthcoming leader of this pack, hereby decline your offer to be my future Luna and mate, Clara James." I stared at him in disbelief and froze, my eyes wide. For the first time since I heard her whimper, my wolf unexpectedly left. I could hardly feel her, as if she had closed herself off. I became so weak from it that I could barely stand, even if I wanted to. "Hey, you hear me? You best go lost. Please refrain from embarrassing our people. You're just an ugly cow; look at yourself. You will never find a partner as special as me. Now leave this place immediately and cease bothering our pack.
