The Alpha's Mistake

Chapter 3

Sam Valentine

Silence filled the room, neither Jamie or I could put the words together. Neither of us knew what to say. My gaze turned up to the clock in on the right, and I watched the second hand tick slowly. After about another minute of silence, Jamie spoke.

"You were supposed to be dead." Her voice was full of anger, and I couldn't help but to grow angry myself. 

"Well I'm not." I snarled, turning my attention back to my mate. 

"How?" She asked, sadness suddenly washing over her sweet face. "Tony told me-"

"Don't even say his name." 

"He told me you were dead Sam." Jamie cried, tears falling. "They said someone named Jason  came up from behind and slit your neck and dragged you off. Sam I thought they killed my mate!" 

"Well, didn't stop you from having kids with my best friend right?" 

"Would you quit being such an ass?! And I didn't have kids with your best friend! Now, how the hell are you still alive?" After a long silence, I finally looked at my mate, the sadness suddenly taking over me. I hated what I did. I couldn't stand myself and for once I wished I did die. Faking my death did nothing, here I was, standing in front of her heavily pregnant form, ready to really break her heart. 

"It was a planned attack." 

"It was what?" Jamie asked, her voice quiet. 

"It was planned. Remember Lily, your boy toy's mate?" 

"He's not my boy toy. And yeah I remember her."

"Well, after I slept with her when I was eighteen, somehow Lily ended up pregnant. With my kid. God, I didn't even know about her until we'd been together for like, half a year. That's why I never marked you. Jamie, I wanted to tell you, so bad, but I thought it would break your heart and I had to be with my kid, so I had her older brother Jason plan the attack. He was the alpha of this pack, he died a few years ago though, so I took over alpha position and I've been stuck with Lily and Stacy, our daughter, ever since." There was a few minutes of silence, and not knowing what  my mate was thinking was eating me alive. Did she hate me? Did she wish she never met me? Does she want to kill me? "Jamie, what's going on in your head? I can't take not knowing what you're thinking." 

"I hate you Sam. God I hate you som much." I felt like I had a swift kick to the gut, like I was stabbed in the back. 

"You don't mean that." I whispered, staring down at her.

"You have no idea, how much I hate you at this exact moment Sam." 

"You have no right to hate me." 

"Excuse me?!" Jamie asked, her head lifting up to glare at me. "I have no right  to hate you? Are you kidding me?" 

"I did what was right Jamie." 

"You killed an eighth of your pack and left your mate for a skank with a kid that you don't even know is really yours!"

"Stacy IS mine! Lily said I was the only one she slept with that entire month!" 

"Did you ever think that she was lying Sam? You never ONCE asked for a paternity test?" Why hadn't I thought of that? I know Lily slept around, but I guess that since she said it was my kid I just........ believed her.  

"Well what about you?" I snapped. "You got yourself knocked up twice, by my best friend. Those kids can't be mine, you weren't pregnant. I wouldn't have left you if you were." 

"They're not To-"

"Don't say his name!" I yelled, slamming my fist into the wall behind me. 

"They not his kids." 

"Oh, so you were sleeping around?" 

"Like you're one to talk! And no, I wasn't sleeping around you ass." 

"Well if their not Tony's then they have to be someone else's and-"

 "Their yours." She whispered, her eyes closed tight while her hands were clenched into fists. 

"What?" How were they mine? "The trips. Those three kids, that I supposedly had with your best friend, their yours Sam. Each and every one of them. I was going to find you when they told me you were dead. The only one that isn't is the one that's inside me." 

"So you're saying that I-"

"That you have three other kids you didn't even know about for the last seven years because you were too damn stupid to tell me what was going on Sam!" I could only stand and look at my mate as I thought over what she said. She had my kids? That beautiful little girl was mine? The boys too?

"What have I done?"I whispered, falling into a heap on the floor. My kids grew up with another man, my kids didn't even know who their real dad was, just because I didn't want to man up and tell my mate I had a kid I barely knew about? "I'm so sorry." I whispered, looking up at Jamie. "I'll make it up to you. I'll be the best dad you've ever seen. I'll make sure they have everything they need, I'll train them, when they come of age. Jamie I'll be the dad I needed to be seven years ago." 

"No you won't." Jamie snarled, her glare still fixed on me. 

"Excuse me?" I asked, still looking at my mate, the mother of my pups. 

"You won't be the best father I've ever seen Sam. Because Tony already is. He was there when they were born, Sam, he's been there since day one, and you haven't." 

"It wasn't my fault!"

"The hell it wasn't!" She yelled, climbing off of the hospital bed she laid on. "If it wasn't for you, leaving to get it on with the same girl who broke your best friends heart, those kids would be calling you daddy! And God so help me Sam I can't wait until my pack gets their hands on you. When they figure out that you killed our pack, our family, just to be able to be with your little slut, they're gonna go ape shit on your ass. And when that happens, I won't hold anyone back." 

"You mean my pack. And they won't do anything." 

"They will, and they haven't been your pack for seven years." She snarled, punching me in the chest. "Now get out of my sight." 

"What happened to the sweet little mate? The one that used to cuddle into my chest and night and tell me how much she loved me?" 

"She had to cry herself to sleep a hundred times in another man's arms. She had to learn that her mate would rather fake his own death than be with her. " She pushed my on the chest, which took me off guard and caused me to land on my butt in the hallway before she slammed the door. 

"You're a douche, you know that?" A very familiar voice snarled to my right. "If you'd manned up that'd be your kid she's giving birth to. And those three beautiful little kids would've grown up with their biological father. Their father's best friend wouldn't have been in the hospital room holding her hand while she squeezed out your kids." 

"You lost the right to call yourself my best friend the night you two mated Tony." 

"And  you lost the right to call her your mate the day you chose that slut over her." 

"That slut is your mate you know." 

"Yeah I know. So who really betrayed who here Sam?" With that Tony walked into the hospital room, cooing over my crying mate as I sat on my butt, holding in tears. I wanted my mate back, I wanted my life back, I wanted my pack back, and sadly, I had a feeling that's all it would ever be. Me wanting what I couldn't have. But I'll be damned if I didn't try.
