Alpha's Decision

Bad News

Leo’s POV:

We had spent the next few hours, making love. I couldn’t believe that I finally got my mate. But then thoughts of Serena and the pup slipped into my mind. I knew at some point I was going to have to tell Harper that Serena was pregnant.

I watched her sleeping and I had to stop myself from waking her up and making love to her again.

I got up and was about to get some water when she looked at me.

“I am starved, is there anything to eat here”

“NO unfortunately not”

“We can go out for breakfast to Fork Yourself” she stared at her watch “Or more like a lunch”

I looked at her “No, the pack likes eating there and I don’t want to run into any of them”

She gave me a confused look “Why not?”

I shrugged my shoulders “Well I don’t want this getting back to Serena”

She jumped out of the bed, “and why is that”

“She’s pregnant and I don’t want her upset”

Harper starting dressing, I saw the tears roll down her cheek, I walked over to her and tried to hug her to me, but she pushed me away hard “What the f**k Leo”

I must have looked like a deer caught in the headlights, I tried hugging her again, not understanding her reaction, she pushed away from me and slapped my face “You’re not leaving her are you? How could you Leo?”

My heart was beating so fast, I thought I was going to pass out “NO, I never said I was leaving her”

She slapped me across the face again “You f*****g took my virginity, you took my heart, you f*****g marked me, I don’t want to sound clingy here, Goddess forbid, but with all that evidence, kinda of sounds like your leaving her” he tone turned sarcastic and hurt and I hated seeing her like this.

It felt as if an elephant was sitting on my chest “Yes I know, but I thought you wanted that to”

“Yeah I did, but I thought you chose me, how f*****g stupid of me” she started to cry hysterically and I felt like a real asshole. She looked at me with her red eyes and tortured face “I thought you chose me

Leo, why else would we do any of this, I was so stupid”

She finished dressing and started for the door “Harper please don’t go” I grabbed her arm and tried to pull her to me “Please don’t leave, I want to explain”

“Jesus Leo, you have already taken enough of me, I don’t want to hear your f*****g explanations, you don’t deserve more from me”

She gave me a hard stare “I think I f*****g hate you, I don’t ever want to see you again, I’m joining Johsua’s pack. And please do me a f*****g favor, mark your wife, so that I can get rid of this f*****g mark and so that I can move on with my life. Go back to your wife Leo”

I watched as she walked out the door and started to walk in the direction of Silver Moon, I dropped to my knees and I cried out in frustration cursing the fates for doing this to us, more cursing myself.

‘you stupid, stupid man’

I didn’t need Drake telling me what a colossal f**k-up I just made, so I just ignored him. He was telling the truth after-all. I sat there in shock I couldn’t believe what I just gave up, my arms were already missing her. I felt like a shell of a man, just empty, destroyed. I sat like that for hours, hoping she would come back, I felt the wetness of my cheeks and knew I must have been crying, I didn’t even know.

When the sun started to set, I finally got up and dressed, I got in my car and drove back to Golden

Sphere. As I crossed the border my heart sank even deeper, I would give this all up just for another second with Harper, but I couldn’t do this to the pup, he or she would need me, and I wanted to be a father and a good one, but I would never be able to live with Serena as man and wife, not after last night.

When I saw Harper at Pat’s dancing with that man, all other thoughts left my mind and I could only focus on her, wanting her. I was a stupid, stupid man. I just f****d up everything. Now that I know what she tastes like, feels like, I could never be with anyone else. I would live and empty live without her, and I didn’t deserve any better.

As the pack house came into view, I saw Serena standing outside waiting for me. I got out of the car and walked up the steps, I stared into Serena’s livid face “Well I can smell where you were last night, you were with that w***e”

I swung around and looked at her “She’s not a w***e Serena, she is my mate”

“Well I’m your wife” I held up my hands I just wanted Serena to stop.

“Not know please Serena, I can’t deal with this now”

I heard Serena crying but I couldn’t deal with her now “You said we can start over” I stopped walking and turned to her again.

“Please Serena just stop with the emotional blackmail. I changed my mind, I just can’t, I’ll stay married to you, and I’ll be the best father I can be, but I can’t ever be with you again”

She gave me a disgusted look “Well I am never going to allow you to be with her, and I will never leave you, I promise you this Leo, you’ll never have her”

I walked away from Serena, I couldn’t believe the hatred I saw in her eyes, was she always like that? Or did I change her?.

I walked up the stairs and into my room, I closed the door behind me and fell on my bed. The night spent with Harper had ruined me, I would never love again, never feel again. I sat up and looked at the mirror in front of me, it’s time I admitted it to myself, I have been running away from it for long enough, trying to deny it. I adore Harper, I love her, from the first moment I saw her walking to me, I started to live. I dropped my head in my hands and for the first time in my live, I hated being an Alpha, I hated the responsibility attached with it and I hated the fates. I dropped back onto the bed and drifted off to sleep.
