Caleb's POV

Everything was my fault. Kyle blamed himself for hugging me but if only I was stronger he wouldn't have gotten hurt. I tried my hardest to get Cornelius off of him and he didn't even budge at my attacks.

  I knew I shouldn't have let my guard down. Every time I get close to people they end up getting hurt. Now Kyle's in critical care all because of me.

   If only I hadn't been so stubborn and selfish...if only I hadn't been so immature. He would've definitely been safe.

   If I had never been born, none of this would've happened. I should be the one that got hurt not Kyle. He does so much for this pack as one of our two betas and he's the mate of three pack warriors.

While I'm not only an Omega but a runt. What do I do that's so important? Cooking? Cleaning? I can barely do those things right. I'm replaceable and other people do my job better than me.

I curled up on the soft hospital bed and let hot tears flow down my face quietly.

I'm such a joke. All I did was make the situation worse when I clung onto him. I thought if I held onto him than Cornelius wouldn't hurt him but clearly Lions did things differently than we do.

I made the situation worse and now not only are they both hurt, all three of Kyle's mates were injured badly too.

I felt completely guilty and I told my Alpha's that it was all my fault but they didn't even scold me. I deserved to get punished for what I did, I mean look at how many people got hurt because of me.

While I don't even have a scratch on me...it's not fair. I should be in trouble for causing all this chaos.

"Caleb, stop crying. I know you're probably in your head again but it's not your fault. It was a misunderstanding." The Luna's voice said while he walked into my assigned room.

I uncurled myself as he sat down next to me. I admired Elliott so much. Everyone told stories about how he was an Omega that was abused but turned his pain into his power and became such a great Luna.

I wanted to be like him but I knew that I couldn't. Him and I were different.

I had too many problems. I have anxiety and depression, not to mention a fear of touching other people or getting touched by them.

I am clumsy, mostly quiet and stick to myself while he was social and loved by everyone.

"I used to be a wreck." He said quietly while he smiled down at his lap.

"I never pictured myself being a Luna and having too amazing Alphas as the father's of my children. I never ever thought that I'd even have a mate to call my own that loved me for who I was." Elliott said while I listened and looked at him. I wiped my eyes and stayed quiet as I watched him speak to me.

"I used to be weak and shy but I developed into this strong Luna that you see today. I'm still an Omega I just have the title as Luna, my body is weaker than the average wolfs and I'm super short compared to everyone even at my age but I don't let those things stop me from enjoying my life." He explained while I felt shame wash over me.

"Even when my old Alpha and pack hurt me and abused me, I didn't want to die or give up on life. I had a small ounce of hope that I'd be saved and here I am now." He said before smiling at me.

Other people have had it worse than me and here I was complaining about my situation. I'm the worst person in the world.

"I know you feel guilty about everything but it's not your fault. If anything were all blaming ourselves, even me. I told myself 'if only you would've kept the meeting going on for just one more minute none of this would've happened' and Kyle's mates feel guilty that they couldn't help him." He told me and I began to nervously bite my bottom lip.

"I know this might not make you feel entirely better but I hope that you see that it's ok to make mistakes. Sure people are hurt but guess what, they heal. No ones blaming you for what happened but you. I know you're strong and I'll be here if you ever need someone to talk to." Elliott said before handing me a tissue.

I didn't even notice that I was crying again. Everything he said made my wolf and I calmer, he was such a good Luna. No ones ever told me that I was strong or that they'd be open to hear me talk about my problems and concerns before.

"T-thank you Luna." I said lowly while I wiped my eyes.

"No problem Caleb, and both Trevor and Skylar want you to go see Cornelius once you feel better. It was an order so make sure you go do it soon." He said before hopping off the bed and leaving.

He closed the door behind him and I was left alone again.

I didn't notice how much talking with someone else made me feel relieved. Now that he was gone, I was lonely and left with my thoughts again.

I let out a deep sigh and sat in the middle of the bed. Meditating tended to help me cool my head down and feel better so that's what I planned to do before I went to see Cornelius.

I didn't want to see him but if my Alphas ordered me to I'd have to. I didn't like him before the incident happened so there was no way I'd like him now. His misunderstanding and jealously led to Kyle getting injured and if I wasn't his mate this wouldn't have ever happened.

I've never even heard of a wolf being mated to a lion in our region. Plus I'm a runt. He was at least an entire foot or so taller than me and he could probably eat me as a snack.

Yes he was attractive and yes I felt the mating bond between us but I refused to let that change my mind. A lot of people forget that we have a choice to accept the mating bond or not. Yeah I'd die or go crazy if I rejected him but maybe that's better than actually being with him.

From what I've seen, he just isn't someone I picture myself with...I wanted someone that didn't mind all my insecurities and someone kind, but instead the goddesses gave me someone who was arrogant and had a harem of women!

Was he even bisexual? There wasn't one male in that harem and all those girls looked exactly the same. Clearly his type was sun-kissed girls with huge orange eyes and long, wavy brown hair. I don't know if he got the memo but I had short black hair, black eyes, pale skin and yeah you guessed it, no boobs and I had a penis!

I'm aware that the mating bond changes people's perspectives and opened up their hearts more but there was just no way in hell that he was going to change completely for a mess like me.

"He loves us." My wolf Xena told me while I closed my eyes and tried to meditate peacefully and forget about everything I was worried about.

"He doesn't love us, he doesn't even know us." I told him and he whined.

I didn't believe in people just suddenly being in love with their mates. Love at first sight was impossible. We were just being controlled by our hormones, I'd rather not think with my dick but with my brain.

A few minutes later, a nurse came to escort me to Cornelius's room. I took a deep breath and followed her but I was definitely not mentally prepared to go see him. He was going to be so angry at me and I felt like I was going to have a panic attack just being near him.

I didn't want to be by him. I didn't want to see him. I didn't want to even speak to him so what made my heart want to go see if he was ok?

A/N: A lot of you have messaged me requesting for Caleb and Cornelius to get a story so maybeeee they might after this ones finished up....maybe.
