Karma, Bitch! -bxb-

Chapter 2

Derek's POV

I was in the pack house, rehearsing my lines for the speech tonight in front of a mirror again. I wanted everything to be perfect. Don't get me wrong, I am already the most dashing wolf I've ever met, but I wanted to show the pack my sensitive side before I became official alpha too. And who knows? Maybe that'll be a turn on for my future luna.

"My fellow werewolves. It is with great honour tonight that I bestow upon you, myself as your future alpha leader. I will surely do my best to lead you with all my power and lead this pack to glory!" I spoke tenaciously. People tell me that I was a little too full of myself, but I don't see it. I like who I am and I don't need people telling me that I need to change. Not that anyone would.

My door opened to reveal my father with a weirded out expression on his face. Like, wow dad, thanks for the support. Really, it means a lot. "Are you seriously going to say that in front of the whole pack?" he cringed. I rolled my eyes, "Ok, my speech needs a little improvement, but I'm still gonna nail this speech tonight." I grinned. I may be told that I lack a few things, but confidence wasn't one of them.

Father smiled, "As long as I know that you're going to do well, I trust you. Besides, it's alright to make a total fool of yourself, I did on my speech. Everything turned out well in the end." I interjected, "But that was you. Me, I can't and won't afford to make such a mistake. Everything will go perfectly. I'll do my speech, find my beautiful mate, and become the best fucking alpha in history. No offence."

"Offence taken" father facepalmed, "But that's not why I'm here. Just wanted to check if you're ready. The guests will be arriving in an hour." I nodded, "Of course I'm ready. I've been ready for the past hour now." He nodded, "Good, then you can help us out with moving some of the food! We need extra hands." I groaned,"Can't you ask someone else? It is my party!" Father only sighed, but didn't fight me, which was to my pleasure.

I spent the next hour rehearsing and changing some lines in my speech before mom called me to come out and greet the pack, which I happily did. I loved meeting people, especially in events that celebrated me. I especially love meeting people who brings me presents on said events, and luckily for me, most did. After an hour had passed, the gifts table was starting to disappear out of sight and I wondered why we even needed one in the first place as the servants just piled the rest on the floor beside it.

Another half an hour passed when Robin and Danny finally arrived at the party. I smirked before putting on the most smug expression I muster. Robin stopped in front of me for a minute, his face blank. I hinted at the piles of presents in an attempt to show-off. Sort of a, 'look how much better and loved I am than you!' moment for me. He responded by glancing at it and walking away. Danny on the other hand hugged me and gave me his own present, not forgetting to congratulate me and tell me how jealous he was about my piles of gifts. Danny, I knew you were he only one fit enough to be beside me. If I could command the moon goddess I would've made him my fated partner. Joke, I'm straight.

Another half an hour passed and I was finally hanging out with my friends. It was officially 11 o'clock and I was getting anxious. Suddenly a wave of emotions I've never experienced before rushed passed me faster than that one time I got diarrhoea. I was feeling insecure about meeting my mate. What if she didn't like me? No, I'm the alpha, of course she'll like me! What if she's not here? Of course she's here! What if she's not even a she? I shrugged that question off, not even bothering to try and answer that question. And with that, I successfully comforted myself. Man, if I wasn't going to be alpha I could definitely land a role as the pack's therapist.

11:45, my legs were getting restless now.

11:50, everyone were telling me how excited they were to meet my luna, but I tuned them all out.

11:55, I walked on top of the stage, all eligible girls looking hopefully at me, wanting to be my mate. Of course they do. See? I didn't need to be afraid of anything! Everyone wanted me.

11:59, I began my speech, "My fellow were-" The clock struck 12 and I was wafted by the best scent I've ever smelled and for the first time my head filled with something else beside myself. I dropped the mic on the floor, making it land with a loud thud and traced the scent to the crowd. Everyone made way as I headed to a group of female werewolves that were squealing excitedly beside the exit. This is it, one of the is my mate.

"No, none of them are our mate" Sax growled as he suddenly to over my eyes. Everything turned dark except for a trail of that enchanting scent that led me passed through the group of people, and instead, holding the hand of a certain omega that was just about to leave. "Mine" I growled. Everyone's gasps made me regain control of my body and I had a good look at the boy in front of me.

Robin stood in there shocked before a twisted smirk quickly changed his face, "I haven't congratulated you yet, have I alpha?" he grinned, "Congratulations, on getting a worthless mate!" he said brightly, slamming my own words against me before slapping my hand away and leaving the building. I stayed frozen in place, only able to watch my mate walk away from me. Oh shit.
