The Beta's Unwanted Mate [One-Shot]

Beta's Unwanted Mate

Alissa's POV

"Ahh!" the baby continued crying as Olivia tried, with no luck, to calm her down.

I opened my eyes dismissing my attempt at meditation as I couldn't concentrate. I went and took Serena in my arms and started cooing, "Oh baby, mama's here. Please stop crying".

I immediately noticed her quieting down and playing with my necklace which she loves. "You always calm her down in an instant, I was trying for past five minutes. You'll have to teach me that someday." Olivia said looking at Serena who was fully entranced in playing with the necklace.

"It just happens. You will get the hang of it when the time is right."

"Hope that's true. I've to get going now, Chance has probably returned from his training."

"Yeah I'll see you in the evening." I bid Olivia goodbye and went in the kitchen to make breakfast.

As I was putting Serena in her chair ,arms wrapped around my waist and someone screamed loudly in my ear. I immediately tightened my hold on Serena and was going to shout for help when I saw who it was.

"Why do you do this to me. You know I get scared easily Patricia."

"I know baby, that's why I do it. It's so funny." she said laughing.

She took Serena who was giggling happily with her mother. It seemed she wasn't scared at all. I pouted and went towards the stove and started making omelette for breakfast. I was quiet as I heard them playing at the kitchen table.

"Oh Alissa, don't be mad I'll give you an extra kiss today." I looked back and saw that cheeky smile on her face that I love so much.

"Idiot", I mumbled "Come here and help me". Keeping Serena in the chair Patricia walked towards me and started taking the plates out.

"So today we have to go to Olivia's house." I said. She thought for a moment and said "Yeah for her baby shower. Right that's today."

"You forgot again,didn't you?"I said with smirk. "I didn't forget" she said getting offended "I just..uh... didn't remember." she finished. "That's the same thing" I said giving her a blank look.

We finished our breakfast and Patricia washed the plates. This was our daily routine. One that I was quite comfortable and happy with.

I started getting Serena dressed as her and Patricia were going out shopping and I had to stay back because of work. I helped Patricia put the baby in the car seat and strapped her in.

"Okay. So now you have the list right. Don't forget anything. I'll text you if..." And suddenly she kissed me and I forgot what I had to say.

"Yes MOM, I've the list. Don't worry." she said smiling. Starting the car she looked out the window, " We will come back soon. You do your homework."

"Bye,don't be late." I said and started walking back to the house.

I had loads of assignments to complete as senior year was far from over. I brought my work and sat down on the porch table. I started going through my notes and begun writing. I was so engrossed that I did not get up until two hours later when I heard the car honking.

I got up and started helping Patricia get the bags inside. When I saw Patricia's top I started laughing.

"You are her victim today Pat. How does it feel to have puke on you?" I asked holding my hand as a mike. She slapped my hand away.

"It pretty much sucks. Now I have to shower again." she groaned. She stumped her feet like a child and went up the stairs.

I saw that Serena was getting sleepy and started making my way towards her crib. As I was putting her down she started tapping my cheeks and said,

"Wake up."

I was so shocked that I stood still for a second. This time a lot louder she said

"Alissa wake up."

I jolted up suddenly and saw Olivia standing over me a bag on her shoulders and one at her feet. I was so confused and started realizing as I looked at my surroundings.

My heart pained. It was a dream. A FUCKING DREAM which will never be true.

Olivia pulled me up by my hand. "Come on, we have to go. I saw two rogues few miles away. We've to go now. Come on Alissa don't waste time."

As I started understanding her words I accepted my reality. I packed up my sleeping bag which was damp because of the mud and put it in my backpack.

We started running towards the city. We have been on the run for one week now. We escaped him. We escaped the devil who kept me trapped for so long . I thought that it would finally be the time that I would be happy.

But no.

Where three were kidnapped only two got out. My Patricia was killed in front of my own eyes. He looked me in the eyes and slit her throat. If it weren't for Olivia I would be dead too.

She got me out. She was just as devastated. Her pack, her mate never came to her rescue.

Now we were alone with only each other as family. I prayed that my dream was some kind of message from the moon goddess that everything will be alright. That I will be happy.

But before that I was determined. I was determined to get my revenge. To kill that bastard and and get rid of his evilness.

"I will avenge you Patricia." I promised myself and started running faster through the forest as I saw a glimpse of the city ahead.
