Caleb Martinez

I walked.... No, I dragged myself to the main hall where Marie was having heart conversation with Caren. Caren didn't say anything but I don't see anything good coming since Alec is her most treasured thing in the entire world.

I don't know where I went wrong but whatever done has been done already. There is no benefit for crying over spilt milk. And I didn't have a face to regret anything I did. Carlos was still there but I hardly connect to him. He blames me and says if I make Caren my Luna, he will not cooperate.

As if they sensed my presence they all turned back and stared at me. I averted my eyes feeling shame swallowing me wholly. Marie sighed and stood up. She started to come towards me with a half-smile. She tapped my shoulder and passed me. That really broke me.

I knew that there will be few people who won't be neutral with my choice but knowing Marie is one of them, just sent me into the edge you know. Caren stood up and followed me. She engulfed me into a hug as a sniffle threatened to come out.

"I understand! But you shouldn't have! Now I don't have a face to tell Alec anything when I meet him! Anyway, that would be in heaven, Alec is dead let's move on! I told my parents and I will be staying over!" she said patting my back.

Before I said anything back, she pulled away and left the hall. Leaving me alone and shrewd. Something about this situation that makes me even more afraid is that, Caren is the calmest person yet. Someone I thought would be freaking out and raging at me.

At some second I wondered if I made the right choice. Caren was with Bryson before we went in the scene, what if they are still together? What if Caren is a fraud?

I looked at the fountain outside and remembered the last moments me and him shared. I didn't even marked him yet. Tears went down my cheeks as I remembered how I grabbed Caren's hand instead of Alec's. There is no use crying over spilt milk is there? I think that was a quote that was applicable in that situation thousand times.

"Are you okay?" I heard a voice behind me that made me to jump out of my skin. I turned and saw Dennis in his glory. I nodded not having an ounce of energy in me. He sighed and folded his hands behind him as a sophisticated king.

"You acknowledge the consequences of your actions though?" Dennis asked in a most calm way. Dennis is neutral about this choice. He told me that whatever I chose I have to take over the alpha chair and give him a break.

I nodded my head and looked down. At first I was so proud that I saved the love of my life and she will be beside me forever. And also the thought of me being with another dude had me thinking but when I looked at Alec I knew I could make an exception but...

Honestly, I was confused myself and I acted on impulse and now I am questioning my life choices. I wish I could know where Bryson has kept my mate so I can go rescue him and explain everything and... ugh! But we don't have a strong omega anymore. The elders blame me for letting go of that powerful asset, but they were happy for a female alpha.

Hypocrites!

I never saw anyone hypocritical like these people calling themselves family. Well, apart from the family drama from time to time, this pack was the worst because we were not connected by blood. But by a common goal, and that is to be free from my father's rule.

Those who remained in my father's pack are rich and wealthy. But they use witchcraft and wizardry, and that disgust me. I never thought I will come to be disgusted by something that actually run through my own veins. And yet, my father was not to be blamed, but a woman that gave birth to me.

"Female Luna can be powerful but do you understand that she is unstable? Like male omega, female alphas are rare as well, but they are the most unstable of us! I am disappointed that you decided to let go such beauty, such power for-"

He stopped and looked forward to the gate where few cars were entering. He turned to me and gave me a look that definitely meant we will continue this later. I shook my head as people from those luxurious cars reveal themselves.

It was the Myers and someone I rarely know. Behind him stood Liam, Alec's half-brother. I gulped and the tension of my fingers increased. As Myers family made their way to us, I could feel some penetrating stare from a member. I looked around and noticed it was not one but two. Dina and Liam.

"Martinez!" Jean greeted my brother and extended his hand for a hand shake. Dennis shook his hand while Jean had a delighted look. His wife had a blank look as she studied me. Dennis pointed inside and they followed him. Jean and his wife and that unfamiliar man.

When they were inside, Dina made her way to me until she was so close. She glared at me then stopped and looked down for a second. She looked up and she had watery eyes. Without saying any other word, she went in following her parents.

Liam sighed and passed me without a word.

I really messed up didn't I? I was trying so hard not to break down as the thing killed me too. Speaking of killing, I wonder if Alec is still alive. Maybe I should just take Caren's opinion and say Alec is dead.

Of course he is dead!

Bryson can't just keep him alive for hi collection. It felt like a soap opera and maybe one day Alec will pop up and say he is alive. But I dread that day. Because I won't have a face to face him.

"What are you doing?" I heard Dennis voice in our link so I ran inside. The whole of the living room stopped talking and looked at me. I looked away shyly and went to sit beside Caren who gave a heartfelt smile. I smiled back and looked at the mass.

"As I was saying, I lived my life is seclusion from and my pack because of that boy. Although many didn't know but he was my favorite kid! His death is beyond sad! It shrewd me, but I guess there is more important matters in the living than the dead!"

Jean said and looked around to see people's reaction. I'm sure everyone had that confused look because a gentle smile appeared on his lips. Personally, I didn't understand, his speech was more artistic that ot needs someone with literature t understand.

"I don't know what rubbish you have been talking about, but that is my son we are talking about! How can you be so merciless?" the unfamiliar man said raising his voice a little. The whole room's attention turned to him.

Jean sighed and opened his mouth to say something but the man cut him off.

"Don't tell me you understand Myers! When Neil was trying to find his long lost son, you didn't say a word that you had him-"

"I had my reasons Haves-"

"Don't give me that shit Jean-"

"Please don't blow this for me, Albas! You know that Alec is like my own son-"

"Like own son and own son are quite different Myers! I don't catch why was I invited in this meeting full of hypocrites and a murderer of my son, but I will take my leave now! And don't give me your friendship shit again Jean, have a great time in the wedding!" the unfamiliar man who I reckon was Liam's father said and swept his cloak

Jean sighed as he looked at his friend disappearing. Liam glared at me and took off after his father. Jean sighed for the millionth time that day. I was still traumatized by the friends' drama but decided to listen to the man.

"Look away from those things and focus on your wedding!" jean said standing up preparing to go. I stood up abruptly confused. The wedding which was being talked, was about me?

"What wedding?" I asked still confused. Jean smiled.

"Yours of course! With Caren!"

What? That was fast!
