The Beta's Unwanted Mate ONE-SHOT✔

Chapter I🔱

The funeral was ending and people started packing up to leave. Olivia stayed with me, tears streaming her face. I was no better. I was scared. Scared of what to do next. It was like my wolf was already dying. It's true that when your mate dies, it's the worst pain you could ever feel. I thought she would block me out for good. For the last 3 years, she hasn't spoken to me. I felt her come back when... when Patricia died but...

She hasn't left yet.

I didn't want to cry anymore. She saved me. Even though she died in the process, I can't let that... pain, go in vain. I noticed Olivia's mate, Chance I believe his name was, watch her. With a longing look. He looked pained at his mate. Olivia must've noticed, but she didn't acknowledge him. She should be with her mate, in case he leaves too. 

Finally Olivia sighs, turns around to glare at him. His eyes almost fill with tears, but he turns away.

I walk over to Patricia's parents, Mr. & Mrs. Rodriguez. They were speaking to my parents. I interwine my fingers together, waiting for their conversation to be done. Mr. Rodriguez was the first to notice me. He smiles and walks over to pull me into an embrace. I smile, overwhelmed with warmth.

But it wasn't the same as Patricia's.

"I'm so sorry, Alissa." He says with a shaky voice. 

"No, I'm sorry." I let him go and walk over to the others and give them hugs as well. The longest was Mrs. Rodriguez. Her tears fall onto the shoulder straps of my dress. I clench my jaw to keep me from crying. I promised, I would be strong. I don't need to cry anymore. She still lives in our hearts. Forever and always.

"We are going to go now, Alissa. Please rest up. She wouldn't have wanted you to worry." She shivered. She looked at me in such a pity, I felt like a child needing to be nursed by her mother. I didn't need to feel pity, I needed to feel strong.

"I would never know how painful it is to lose someone you've raised since birth and love dearly. Please, don't be to hard on yourself. She is still watching over us."

They both look at each other. I could tell they are mind-linking. I didn't honestly care what they were thinking about. I felt numb. My head ached, I didn't want to think anymore.

"Losing a pup is terrible, Alissa." Mr. Rogriguez says. "But losing a mate is worse."

And with that they walk away. My mother glared as they walked away. But her expression faded quickly, she must've known they were right. They entered a black limousine and it drove off, like at the end of movies. My mother and father look at me, face filled with pity. Again. I smiled, but that only pained their expressions.

"Are you ready to go, Alissa?" My father says. I look back at where the funeral once was. Everyone was gone. Then I looked at the ground where Patricia lay. I sighed and looked back to my parents.

"I'll go home by myself, actually." I say, smiling bigger. My mothers breath goes uneasy and her face goes red. I could tell she was holding back her tears.

Please don't cry, mom...

They both nod and walk to their car. A basic mini van. They look at me before walking off.

I sigh, and turn back to everything. Everything I've lost. But I need to use to pain to pursue my dreams. I walk over the Patricia's grave and sit by it. I just watch the ground. No tears stream down my face. I just... sit there. I don't know what I was waiting for. Maybe she was playing tricks on me and would wake up any moment now. 

But I felt her wolf die.

'Ali.' My wolf says to me. I jolt at her voice. It sounded rigid, but soft all at once. I smile. Those past 3 years, she's ignored me. Left me all alone. I could never hate her for it. I didn't know if she died or not, but I had Patricia to hold my faith.
