The Alpha's Mysterious Mate ( The Fate Series Book 1)

Chapter 3: Solution 

Serena's POV:

I walked right out of the Trumps' mansion without looking back and straight to my shed.

Leaving the Black Moon Pack was my only choice.I just couldn't stay here any longer.

Although leaving now as a minor would still be quite dangerous, I figured my chances at a better life were still better if I snuck out than stayed in here.

Living on the street had to be safer for me than this wretched place.

While Alpha Tyler took me in, they made sure that I wasn't at all a freeloader.

All these years, I could compare my workload to that of several maids.

That should have been enough to repay their kindness for putting a roof over my head.I sighed.

What an idiot I was.Too naive.

For many years, I forced myself to swallow down insults and humiliation all because I held on to Brandon's promise to me.

Thinking about it now, he never truly contributed much to our relationship.

Apparently, he would immediately abandon me at the first sight of a better choice.

When that bitch hit me, he simply watched.

He even grabbed my hand to stop me from slapping her back, but when she hit me for the second time, he let her.I should have seen this coming, honestly.

Brandon was not just any ordinary werewolf.

He was the future Alpha.

If he really wanted to protect me all this time, he wouldn't have let me stay in such an inferior position in the Black Moon Pack for so long.

Every time he would come to me, it would always be in secret for fear that he might be discovered.

When some werewolves would bully me, he was almost never there for me.

On the few times that he would be, all he did was try to clumsily tell them to leave.

It was ridiculous how I found various excuses to defend him.

I used to tell myself that because he was the future Alpha, he had a lot on his plate and he needed to be careful with how he was seen by others.

He couldn't be tough with my bullies, because they'd get suspicious why he would defend such a lowly servant girl.

Well, at least, now I knew the truth.

Brandon was nothing but a fucking coward.

While I was packing my belongings, two werewolves suddenly approached me in my shed.

"Serena, Alpha wants to see you right now," one of them ordered.

It was a command, not a request.

Frowning, I followed them and didn't say a word. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

They took me to a smaller hall.

As soon as I walked through the door, my face was met with another slap.

I could still hear the ringing in my ears when I opened my eyes to see that it was Luna Zoe who hit me.

Her slap was much stronger than Shirley's.

It made me dizzy, and I thought I even tasted blood in my mouth.

I stayed still, unable to hear for a while.

"You little bitch! How dare you seduce Brandon? What the hell do you think you are doing? We took you in and gave you food and clothes.This is how you repay us? You ungrateful lowlife! You bitch! Slut!"

Zoe stomped her feet and cursed in exasperation.

Tyler sat at the opposite side of the room.

He was also furious.

Of all these years that we had lived under the same roof, this was probably the first time he had ever taken a good look at me.

I noticed Shirley standing beside him with a devilish grin on her face.

That bitch.

It was probably her who complained to Tyler and Zoe about what happened.

Brandon was here too, except he was standing in the corner of the hall.

It seemed that the coward had just been taught a lesson by his parents.

He hung his head in the corner, not daring to look at me for even one second.

When I saw him, I was only reminded of his limp dick, and it was enough to fill me with hatred and disgust.

I couldn't believe I ever fell in love with such a jerk! I must have been out of my mind.

"Serena, it seems we have to remind you of who you are.A girl like you isn't even close to deserving someone like Brandon at all.You simply can't be with him.The Moon Goddess has already appointed Shirley as Brandon's mate.It makes sense because their marriage is beneficial for our packs.I'm warning you right now, don't ever try to get in between their relationship.Otherwise, we'll have no choice but to kick you out of the Black Moon Pack,"

Tyler threatened me, but! couldn't help but let a chuckle escape from my lips.

"If that's what you're worried about, then I assure you, you don't have to tell me twice.After today, I can promise you all that I have no feelings for Brandon whatsoever.I will never approach Brandon, nor will I ever attempt to destroy his new relationship with Shirley.Honestly, I wish them happiness.It seems they deserve each other, anyway."

A coward and an annoying dragon lady.They were going to have a chaotic life ahead.Tyler and Zoe then looked at me with suspicion.

They were probably doubting the sincerity of my words.

Perhaps they thought that getting a girl like me to stay away from their charming son would be much harder.

Perhaps they expected resistance or begging from this heartbroken girl.

Yet here I was, calm and indifferent towards their son.

I didn't see the need to explain anything more, so as a final show of disinterest, I decided to leave.

Maybe Tyler and Zoe would finally believe me.

I saw Brandon raise his head when he heard what I said.

He stared at me blankly.Shirley's arrogant expression was wiped clean off her face.

She now glared at me.But I ignored them all.

Before Tyler and Zoe could make things more difficult for me, I turned around and walked out of the hall.

Shirley's POV:

The fastest way to get Serena punished was if I reported what happened to Alpha and Luna.

After getting scolded by his parents, Brandon didn't dare say a word and even apologized to me sincerely.

But I simply couldn't forget how that bitch Serena dared to fight back after I hit her.

It was a good thing Brandon put her in her place by stopping her.Still, I was not satisfied.

If Serena left this early, Tyler and Zoe might think that their problem would be solved.

But to me, this wasn't the best idea.I was expecting Serena to fight for Brandon, and this show of disrespect would leave Tyler and Zoe no choice but to punish her severely.

But for some reason, Serena agreed to leave Brandon not even one minute after stepping into the hall.

We had no reason to punish her anymore.

What about the grievance she caused me? Even though they never slept together, Serena still seduced my Brandon.

She needed to be punished, or else my anger wouldn't be satisfied at all.

Judging from the way Brandon looked at Serena just now, I could tell that he even still had feelings for her.

This was completely unacceptable and disrespectful to me.

Serena leaving was not enough.

What if she showed up one day in front of Brandon and convinced him to have an affair with her? No, she needed to disappear from the world forever.

Having her alive somewhere was still too dangerous for me.

I simply couldn't tolerate sleeping with one eye open all my life.

"Alpha Tyler, Luna Zoe, if you will allow me to suggest, I don't think we should let Serena off so easily.Although she said that she would never approach Brandon again, who's to say she will keep her word? She might be an orphan you took in out of nowhere, but look what she has done.She has managed to seduce the future Alpha of the pack.For all we know, she could be a scheming she- wolf.What if she continues to seduce Brandon in secret? What if she spreads rumors outside and damages our reputations forever?"

Tyler frowned when he heard my hypothetical situations.

"Dad, Mom.I know Serena.She's not the kind of girl who would..." Brandon's voice came from the corner.

"Shut up, Brandon! You are the future Alpha, yet you had an affair with a poor servant girl.That was a huge mistake on your part that hurt your mate.How dare you still defend that conniving bitch?" Zoe snapped at her son.

"You have a point, Shirley.If we let her off now, she could cause more potential trouble in the future..." Tyler mulled over my suggestion.

"I have a plan to solve this problem of ours, Alpha Tyler."A brilliant idea popped up in my head.

"Oh, really? Well, do tell me." I whispered a few words in Tyler's ear, and after, he stood back and nodded in approval.

"Wow, that's quite the plan, Shirley.Seems like you do have the makings of our future Luna.We'll do as you say.”
