True Destiny.

prolouge;

How could Mato do this to me? Betrayal and jealousy fill my heart. Shelly is no wife for Kotori. She doesn't have the willpower or the strength of her mind, body and soul to let loose and be an alpha woman. The only thing she has is the need for attention and fame. Mato promised me that he would give me the position that I deserved but he let me down. The one person he can truly trust and count on to take care of the pack, he turned me down.

There was a time where I was in-love with Kotori. He was the only person that occupied my thoughts. I didn't care about wanting the true strength of an alpha woman nor the responsibility; all I cared about was Kotori. Brave and strong Kotori. My mother thought I was crazy. I was so infatuated by a boy who was destined to marry someone outside our pack; my whole family thought I was crazy. Adding to this absurdity, I wasn't one of the stronger wolves of the pack so I would be married off to another pack. I had no chance with Kotori but I still dreamt about him whenever I could. This was until one day when my world came falling to pieces. My family was ripped to pieces by the wild ones. The pack tried to contain my rage but they couldn't do anything, they had lost me. It was like the sun had gone down and the moon would be out forever. No light to shine my path only darkness filled my world.

I was convinced that was the end for me and that I would join the wild ones; forever be lost to the rage of my soul but Mato was there for me. He believed in me. Mato guided my mind and body to contain my angry spirit - something only a potential alpha could eventually use a weapon of destruction. It was then I knew that this is what the universe planned for me, I would become an alpha woman and nothing would stop me.

"Aiyana" I couldn't hear the voice properly. "Aiyana. It's Mato. We need to talk." I can not believe this. Mato, the person i trusted most in the world, betrayed me and then wanted to speak with me? In the middle of the night, i must add. It was madness.

"I'm coming in."

"Why would you do this to me? You knew the only way for me to truly become an alpha woman was to stand by Kotori's side but you gave it all up because you love Shelly and she wants power."

"My feelings for Shelly will never impact the ranks I declare. I understand the betrayal you must feel."

"That betrayal is more complicated than you think. You helped me through everything. I was going to be a wild one and you saved me. Now Shelly, a useless girl is going to be an alpha woman just because you love her."

"You know what, I thought we could speak like adults but I guess I'll have to try again when you grow up." With that, Mato left. I'm the immature one? I've been waiting and training for this moment since I was 9 years old but Shelly gets the rank I deserve. Jealousy doesn't begin to describe what I felt.

The next morning I woke up revitalised and ready to face Mato, Shelly and Kotori. I hadn't spoken to Kotori since he told me about what was going to happen with him and Shelly. Of course my 9-year-old feelings made a spark of return when he told me but quickly ran away when he told me it was Shelly. I wanted to rip out my inner self and lash out at her but knew I had to be the mature one and talk to everyone.

I saw Kotori first.

"I heard about last night." He seemed disappointed.

"Mato told you I was immature about it I'm guessing?" I looked for a sign of approval and wasn't surprised when I received one.

"I understand you deserve the rank just like everyone else. Mato is the alpha at the moment and what he says goes. Do you think I want to be marrying Shelly?"

"I wouldn't think it would be a big deal for you, Kotori. The whole pack knows you would do anything for us." This was true. Kotori was the bravest of our pack and definitely deserved to become the alpha male.

"Aiyana. The pack has always seen the outside, never my true self. You and Mato know that pretty well. I don't like the fact I am becoming an alpha with a woman not deserving. Shelly only loves me because she thinks I requite her feelings. I never have and never will"

"Then help me make Mato realise the truth." This was not the way I thought the morning would turn out to be.

"We can only try." Kotori turned around and went off to do his daily pack requirements so I decided to use this time to think through how I can fix this foreign feeling of jealousy towards Shelly.
