Fated To Three Alphas

The Alpha Ceremony

Zane’s POV

Weekend was finally here. It was Saturday today, my twenty-first birthday and also the day I had been preparing for for my entire life. I would ascend into Alpha of the Silver Claw pack at exactly ten o’clock tonight.

I was beside myself with excitement. I couldn’t believe this was finally going to happen. I deserved to be Alpha, I had prepared so much and sacrificed so much to get here.

Speaking of sacrifices, my wolf and I still hadn’t made up. He was still mad at me and giving me the cold shoulder. It had been three days now since I had found out she was my mate, that little weird girl from school.

And ever since rejecting her, my wolf Zander had been the biggest arse. He hated me for doing that to our mate. But what did he know? He was just a wolf.

He had no idea what it took to have a reputation. He didn’t know that it took sacrifice to stay the strongest in order to deserve the title of Alpha, all he ever thought about was his desires for his mate.

We were having the biggest fight right now, but I wasn’t even worried about that. f**k him. I was sure he’d eventually come around when he realized I was right. I had dodged a bullet by rejecting that nerd.

It wasn’t her, it was me. There was just no way I was going to be a strong Alpha with a weak Luna like her. It may be unfortunate but the bitter truth was that leading a pack was not for nerds. It didn’t take brains, it took strength. And she just wasn’t cut out for it.

Anyway, why was I trying so much to justify my decision? Had I made a mistake?

While my thoughts kept eating at me like this, I was seated on the terrace of the Alpha mansion at our pack house. I slowly sipped from my glass as I watched the preparations going on all over the packhouse.

Workers were busy preparing everything for the big party that was going down in the evening. My birthday party would begin at around five in the evening but the inauguration to Alpha wouldn’t happen till ten.

My Dad had gone all out with the guest list for the event. He’d invited werewolves from all over town, and some others from out of town too. There were several Alpha’s expected to be attending, and he’d even send out the invitation to Alpha Ron and Luna Maia Storm of Riverden Pack.

They hadn’t RSVP’d yet, but I was just crossing my fingers that they would come, or at least send someone to represent them. Riverden Pack was the biggest and strongest werewolf pack in all of Locksbridge. Much bigger than our pack.

Everyone respected Alpha Ron and Luna Maia for all they’d done to bring this town to where it was, and having them attend my inauguration ceremony would be the biggest boost to legitimacy of my reign as Alpha. That’s why I was hoping with everything that they’d be there.

“Hey you,”

A soft voice suddenly distracted me from my thoughts. It was Bianca’s and it made me smile slightly. She was wearing a short dress that let me take in her soft thighs as she walked slowly towards where I was seated.

“Are you excited for your big day?” she said.

“Now that you’re here, I definitely am,” I told her, making her blush.

“Oh really?” she said, walking up to me and gently sitting on my lap.

I slowly slid my arm onto her thigh, caressing it slowly and looking into her eyes as she looked into mine. As I looked up at her, I noticed my mark on her pretty little neck.

She wasn’t hiding it, it was bare for everyone to see. I had sunk my teeth in there a few days ago and marked her as my mate.

Bianca was just perfect. She was strong, athletic and head cheerleader at school. She had a good reputation amongst the pack members and her parents were both pack officials.

She was my perfect choice for Luna. I really had everything I needed right here.

So why did I feel so empty?

Ella’s POV

It was towards evening on a day that I hoped would just freaking end. That jerk was ascending to Alpha title tonight and the worst part was that I had to participate even though it was the last thing I wanted.

Since my parents and I were an Omega family at the pack, we had to help out with the preparations for the Alpha ceremony. We had spent all day at the packhouse cleaning, hanging decorations and arranging seats but the day was far from over for us.

We had still been put in the list to serve and tend to guests at the party in the evening. I was so bummed out, but there was nothing I could do.

I had just showered and gotten dressed for the evening party and was leaving my house headed to the packhouse lounge where the party would be happening. They had made us ladies wear a black tunic dress with a red collar lining.

The dress was just about knee-length and I had to admit, it wasn’t all that terrible. I just hated it because I had no choice but to wear it.

I was also not particularly happy about the fact that I would have to see him at the party tonight. For the past three days, I had avoided Zane like he was the plague. And rightly so, it was because of him that I had cried myself to sleep for days.

I had cried so much I was just sick of it. I was sick of giving him so much power and letting what he’d done tear me down like it was doing.

I had hit rock bottom… hard, and I needed a way out. I just didn’t know how or where the way out would come from.

Evening set in quickly, and I was already holding a tray of glasses and gently moving through the crowd of guests. I could see werewolves everywhere on the packhouse grounds. Some were standing in groups chatting, others were seated on the comfy chairs laughing and drinking.

I saw several couples kissing by the wall. This was one of the parties where werewolves from different packs came together, so I was sure some she-wolves had even bumped into their mates here tonight.

While here I was moping over my troubles. The only thing I really really wanted was for this night to just end. And yeah, I was eighteen now which meant I could leave my pack if I wanted to and never have to see Zane ever again.

But I was still not done with school yet, and having to go would leave my parents with questions I did not want to answer, so I had decided to just bide my time until I could figure out what I wanted to do.

The champagne glasses on my tray all quickly emptied out and so I went back to the counter to get a fresh set. On my second tour through the crowd, I suddenly spotted our Alpha and Luna, Zane’s parents.

They were seated together on their high seats enjoying the party and the music. As soon as I saw them, I suddenly got the craziest idea. Maybe I could just approach them and ruin Zane’s life as he had ruined mine.

If his parents found out that he had the gut to reject his fated mate, they would most probably find him unfit to be Alpha and not give him the pack tonight. It was the perfect little revenge plan wasn’t it?

Just as I started walking towards their table, I suddenly got intercepted. Someone grabbed my hand and suddenly pulled me to the side, quickly rounding a corner away from the lounge where everybody else was.

The movement was so rough that all my glasses tumbled off the tray and fell on the ground. When he finally let go of me, I looked up to see it was Zane. He was in a huff.

“What the hell were you thinking? Are you crazy?” he said.

I smiled slightly after seeing how much he was disturbed by this. I also noticed I couldn’t feel anything anymore despite him being so close to me this time. Our bond was really broken and I was kinda relieved that it was.

Now that I knew what he was really like, I couldn’t believe I had been pining for such an asshole like him.

“What are you talking about… I wasn’t thinking anything,” I said.

“I saw you walking to my parents… Do you think I’m…”

“I’m going to stop you right there.” I cut him off, “I don’t know what you think you saw, but I was actually going to refill your parents’ drinks… Paranoid much?” I added.

“Don’t lie to me, I know what you were doing. You don’t want to mess with me I can promise you that. If you ruin this for me, I promise you I will make your life a living hell… ” he growled, huffing and puffing at me.

From the look in his eyes, I could tell he was really scared of me telling his parents about what had happened between us. Which meant that I was right then. If they knew they would strip him of the title and keep him from being Alpha.

But then again, at that moment I realized that this was way too much drama. I didn’t want to be a part of it anymore. He could have the Alpha title and do whatever he wanted for all I cared. I was over him, and I wasn’t about to wrap myself in his s**t anymore.

“Okay, you can put your paranoia away Alpha, I’m not going to do anything,” I said.

“That’s what I thought… and,”

Just as he was speaking and about to give me another warning, I suddenly caught the scent of a wolf approaching us from the side. Ever since my shift, I could now smell things from like a mile away, and it seemed that my wolf senses were getting sharper everyday.

As the scent got closer, I turned towards it and there she was. It was Bianca, and the shocked look on her face spoke volumes.

“What the hell is going on here?” she snarled.
