Karma, Bitch! -bxb-

Chapter 8

Danny's POV

Being best friends with the pact's alpha and omega hasn't always been easy. Ok, that's bullshit, it was never easy. If it was Robin, Derek would be yapping on about how annoying Robin was being that day on the phone, making me distracted and can't finish homework. I blame them for all the detention slips I've gotten from failure on giving homework on time.

A month after their discovery, I find myself hating life and cursing my sweet mother for giving birth to me. All day and night now it's Robin is this and Derek did that but the compelete opposite. Like, seriously, I don't need to know what my alpha and luna do when they're alone.

Now I'm finding myself relaxed because for the first time in a week, I haven't had one phone call from either one of them and can actually finish my job. Then all hopes of finishing everything vanished when a certain dumbass came into my office. The third reason why I haven't slept for months, Ben, my mate.

"Danny, my man, my mate! How you doin'?" he wiggled his eyebrows. I rolled my eyes in frustration. It's been five months now that I've found out he was my mate, but he didn't know that, and I wasn't planning to tell him either.

The first time I found out he was my mate, we were celebrating at his house with the biggest party on the year, besides Derek's. When the clock struck twelve my wolf took over and ran passed the crowd to look for his mate. When he did, I could feel the ache he felt when he saw his mate making out with his girlfriend, Alisha. I instantly regained control, with tears involuntarily pouring down my face. That was when I was rejected before ever confessing to him.

I thought that it was fine. I thought about telling him after he broke up with Alisha, I mean, they weren't going to stay together forever, right? Now, five months later, and they're still together. Why do people date for so long~

"What do you want, Ben?" I groaned as I tried to focus on my paper, "Can't you see I'm busy?" The stress of everything being piled on me for the last year had really taken a toll on my body. He raised his arms in surrender and chuckled, "Relax dude, you've been cooped up here for too long. Just wanted to ask you if you wanted to go to the beach later." My ears perked up, "You and me?"

He nodded, "You, me, Alisha, Derek, and Robin. It'll be nice for a change." The mention of hose three alone doubled the size of the bags under my eyes and all interest I had on that trip vanished. "Get out. I need to do my work. I've been behind on a month's worth of paperwork and the alpha's getting impatient." I hissed. Siren whimpered when he thought his mate was going to leave. I rolled my eyes at my wolf, get used to it already. He has a girlfriend.

When I didn't ear the door closing, I looked up at Ben who had a puppy dog face. I groaned, he knew I couldn't resist that face. "Why is it so important to you?" A blush came across his face, making my wolf howl happily. "W-well...actually," he started,"I was planning on proposing to Alisha"

Fuck my life.

I could feel my heart physically shatter into pieces as tears threatened to fall again. As you can tell, I wasn't exactly the cool dominant in the relationship. "Oh" I said curtly, turning my head down to hide the taunting tears in my eyes. It was stupid really. Maybe it was because my wolf loved him, but I'd began seeing him in that way too, and it hurts to get slammed in the face like that when you just figured out your feelings.

"So?" he spoke again when I didn't say anything. I calmed myself before putting on a poker face and facing him, "So what?" He rolled his eyes, "Come on Dan, you've been my best friend since we were cubs. I need you to be there with me when I propose." he begged. If only I'd been pricked by a million giant needles it would've hurt less than at that moment. My organs felt like they would shut down at any moment, leaving my consciousness alive in a dead body.

"..ok. I'll finish up later. I'll meet you there at 5." it was stupid of me to do that. I knew that I was his mate, but the thought of pulling him away from someone he had chosen to love and cherish for life felt even shittier. If only the bond could be broken, maybe he'd be able to love her completely, and maybe these feelings would go away. 

His face brightened up as I said so and he pulled me into a hug, making my heart beat faster yet hurt so much more. "Thank you Danny, you're the best" Then why not choose us? Siren cried inside my head, and I couldn't help but agree.

"Of course I am, but," I hesitated, still a little bit of hope lingered in my head, "Are you sure about this? You guys are only seventeen. You still have three months before your actual birthday. What if she turned out to no be your mate?" Suddenly my cheeks hurt as I was flung to the end of the room, a single punch lingering on my cheeks.

"Don't you dare say that to my face again. Even if you're mu best friend, I won't tolerate that." he growled. My eyes fixed submissively on his. His being scary and an angry shade of red. He stormed out of my office, the door slamming behind him just as my body began shaking uncontrollably. Siren took over as my eyes turned a golden shade and I could hear his howls of pain that was caused by his mate. My own eyes turned wet, remembering the sight. He was angry for her. He loved her with so much assurance. That was the moment that I decided, I was going to find a way to break the bond. For his happiness, and ours.
