02 Tell me it is a joke

Tia.

“Tell me it is a joke.” I asked my parent with tears falling down my eyes and my mother shook her head in tears.

“Luke is a mean horrible man. He is cruel and disrespectful. He is a big bully. He cheats, lies, name it. he killed a an innocent person. He is a devil. How could you allow this?” I asked my parents even though I knew they had no say in the matter, but I had to blame someone.

“We had no choice in the matter. They said you are the strongest female of your generation and they believe you will match him and tame him,” my father said and I stood up.

“Enough daddy! We all know you can’t tame someone. Luke is an asshole, and he is fixed. How will I survive in this? I am going to be Caleb’s Gamma. How will I manage my job and an asshole mate?” I asked my parents, and they did not know how to respond.

“You know what? I am leaving. I do not care about the Gamma position anymore. Once I am gone, they can find someone else to gift to the asshole son,” I said and got up, ready to go up the stairs, pack my bags and leave.

“You can’t leave, Tia, we need you to accept the offer or Alpha Moon would cast us out. We can’t survive as rogues. Once the Alpha casts us out, the mark of the Woodclaw pack would fade in time, and we will turn feral, eventually. That is what happens to rogues. Please, you have to consider this,” my father pleaded with me.

I looked at my mother with tears in my eyes.

“Do you know what you are asking of me? I will be the most unlucky woman to be alive,” I said to her, and she nodded with tears in her eyes.

Luke was not a good person. That was why Caleb had to take up the reigns. Alpha Moon could not trust Luke with his pack, yet he forced my parents to trust the monster with me. He was a wicked man. Maybe I should have been a bad girl, a bitch to be precise. They wouldn’t have thought of me as an option, but I was too busy crushing on Caleb, trying to be the perfect girl for him. I hated my life right now. Unrequited Love, Forced Marriage, name it. I was going to be miserable forever.

I became angry. I wanted to return upstairs when the doorbell went off. My mother went to answer the door, and I smelled him. It was Caleb. I turned to look at him, and his eyes were crimson, sad and teary as mine. He entered the house, sad and shaking.

“Tia,” he managed and stretched his hands towards me. He did not need to ask twice. I went to him, and he hugged me tightly. My parents left to give us some privacy.

I wanted to be Caleb’s Luna, his love, his north, but someone destined me to remain in the friend zone forever. It was bearable and I could live with that. Caleb wasn’t the only man in the world and I would move on eventually, but forcing me to marry an asshole was wicked. Suddenly running away and becoming feral seemed like the best option.
