Chapter One Hundred and Ninety Seven

Derek had been taken away from the pack after our fight. A small part of me felt bad for him. In his pack, he had been worshipped, but now... everything was about to change-especially the fact that he would have to rule as an Alpha with only one arm.

If his story taught me anything, it was that we often fall toppreciate what we have. He had a pack, people who loved him, but like every other Alpha, he wanted

more.

He was an honorable man, and for that reason, I had let him go his way-even after his demeaning words about making me his 'whore' when he took over the pack.

"I have to admit. You did very well with the pack." Alexander praised, and I couldn't help the swell of pride I had felt in that instant.

We were currently in the bed, none of us wanting to leave the room or each other's company.

"Most of the time, I didn't even know what I was doing.".

"Well, that makes the two of us. You were born a leader, Kaida."

"No, I wasn't. I might be the daughter of an Alpha, and I might have had big dreams, but being a leader isn't easy. Only now do I realize that I've been chasing the wrong thing for years. I don't want to be an Alpha. All I want is to be with you- by your side, forever."

Alexander kissed me once again. "You've proved yourself, not just to this pack but to the whole world."

"That doesn't make me an Alpha. You are the rightful Alpha."

"I don't see any rule that states two alphas can't rule a pack"

I laughed, thinking back to Derek. In a way, I was just like him-never content with what I had, always wanting more. I never wanted to be like the other girls. Sometimes, even wondered if being born female was some kind of mistake. But it wasn't. My destiny was by Alexander's side to support him at every step, and that, I would do.

"I want to be your Luna... if you'll haye me."

At that he chuckled. "Come on, you will always be my Luna and mate."

Mate.
