Alpha’s Second Choice

~On a beautiful sunny day in Dark Slayer pack~

As Jolene flipped the next few pages of her novels eagerly, she could feel her adrenaline pumping harder. She was getting close to the climax, vampire novels always had this effect on her. Except they were banned and forbidden in the werewolf world which gave her even more rush while reading them.

‘Jo!’, she heard someone call her. Damn it, she thought to herself as she quickly dog-eared her current page and plopped it hurriedly under the pillow. She was so close to reading the climax!

Her door opened right as she stood up from her bed.

‘Our alpha is going to have important guest soon and we need to make all the necessary preparations!’, Polly exclaimed clapping her hands like a small kid. Polly was Jolene’s roommate and was always excited about everything.

Polly flipped her black hair away as she shook Jolene in excitement, ‘And you know the warriors are returning from their base today!’.

Jolene rolled her eyes. She knew Polly had a crush on Jake, a young warrior who was always being assigned and sent to bases, much to Polly’s dismay.

‘I have already arranged Gina’s wardrobe and she told me I was done for the day’, Jolene protested. Gina was the Beta’s daughter and the same age as her. Despite her terrible temper, Gina tolerated Jolene at least.

‘Alpha clearly said all omegas needs to help in the kitchen and cleaning the mansion. So, giddy up, make your choice, kitchen, or mansion?’, Polly eyed her.

‘Fine, kitchen’ was all she said as Polly dragged her outside.

*Slap* Slap*

‘You little bitch’, Gina yelled at Lucy as she yanked her hair. Lucy kept quiet, not fighting back at all. She has been used to years of torture at the hands of most of the pack members especially Gina. Just at eight years old, Lucy was accused of murdering her mother. Despite trying to beg for her innocence, all evidence pointed to her as the dragger had her fingerprints. She knew now that she had been framed.

‘You f**king whore, you think you are better than me huh’, Gina continued kicking and slapping Lucy who was now close to tears. She already had too many bruises and scars on her body, she felt any more beatings would now break her completely.

‘Miss!’, Jolene chimed in quickly making Gina stop from hitting Lucy.

‘What is it, Jo?’, Gina asked angrily.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

‘The alpha thinks of you right this moment!’, Jolene answered which made Gina blush and happy at the same time. Gina immediately forgot about Lucy as she quickly made haste towards alpha’s office.

‘Let me help you’, Jolene said slowly as she helped a limping Lucy stand up. She felt bad for Lucy, she was the punching bag of the pack and treated far worst than the omegas. She used to be the former beta’s daughter but now was treated like a nobody.

‘Thanks, I will take it from here’, Lucy’s weak voice wavered as she tried to walk on her own. She did not even walk a few steps before her wobbly knees gave away. Jolene immediately tended to Lucy’s side again and insisted that she helped her.

Taking Lucy to her basement room was not really ideal. There were cockroaches and little crawling insects everywhere and layers and layers of dust. She wondered how Lucy had been sleeping here every night.

So reluctantly, Jolene took her back to her shared room. Jolene’s motto was to stay low and out of troubles and only mind your own business. But she had to make an exception for today. Besides, it appeared that if Lucy received any more beatings, she would probably never recover.

‘Thank you, I…’, Lucy stammered. ‘No one has ever help…helped me before’.

‘Um, its okay. You can stay here to lay low until Gina calms down’, Jolene gave her an encouraging smile. She looked at the poor girl’s torn clothes and felt bad again. So, she went to rummage her drawers and found some decent shirt and long jogger pants.

‘Here you can change into these and rest for a while here’, Jolene told Lucy who had her eyes brimming full of gratitude. The poor girl just nodded her head. ‘I will cover for you in the kitchen, so no rush’.

Jolene finally stepped back as she observed the beautiful feast she had prepared. Steak, cream risotto, brioche buns, freshly squeezed orange juice and many more side dishes. The guest would be arriving any time now. As soon as Jolene was placing the glasses into the trolley, she heard a loud growl throughout the mansion. She knew this growl; it was the alpha. Alpha Jayden.

There was a commotion going outside the kitchen as she made her way towards a crowd gathering. There were few whispers going around as she neared the front and saw the disaster.

Lucy was standing there with her knees shaking looking very scared as Alpha Jayden angrily looked at her. Shit.

‘You can’t be my mate!’, Alpha Jayden growled angrily making everyone in the room cower in fear.

Lucy was speechless as she just stood there. Everyone was whispering to each other shocked at the discovery. Gina stared at Lucy dangerously as if she wanted to murder her right this instant.

Was this bad or a blessing in disguise? Jolene thought to herself.

Because she knew she was Alpha Jayden’s true mate and no one knew about it, not even Alpha Jayden himself…..

Werewolves are blessed with true mates by the moon goddess. A soul mate that will understand you like no other. A unique scent that lets you know your mate is near and a strong mate bond that makes you feel a ”pull’ towards your blessed true mate. So why is Jolene watching her mate take on another she-wolf as his mate?
