The Silent Alpha (Natalia)

***Natalia***

“What?” I snap, holding on to my sanity by a thread. “You’re taking her as your Luna?”

Christian shrugs unapologetically. “What I do now is no longer your concern,” he smirks, nodding towards the door. “See yourself out. Now.”

Vanessa links her arm with Christian’s and mouths a lame apology to me.

My mind fills with a million vile thoughts but I simply bend over into a low bow to hide my tears. “I wish you two a long and happy reign together,” I whisper coldly, still clutching the stupid rings of our marriage and partnership in my hands.

A tiny part of me hopes this was all just some sick joke he was playing and that he wasn’t really dumping me for my sister but that thought quickly disintegrates when he kisses Vanessa.

To top things off, Vanessa responds to his kiss with a moan, jumping into Christian’s arms and wrapping her legs around his waist. Tears involuntarily spill from my eyes as I sprint out of the room, unable to stomach them any longer.

I hold back my sobs until I find the guest room and quickly pull out the bag I had hidden in the closet, my throat burning from the wails I wanted to release. I bring the bag to the main bedroom only to find the bag Christian had packed for me still sitting on our bed.

I wanted nothing to do with the things he had given me. Gathering up all the designer clothes and shoes in the bag, I toss it all out the window and into the bushes. I didn’t give a rat’s ass anymore. I was ready to be free.

I begin looking for the rest of my things when the sound of the door opening startles me and I spin around to find Vanessa standing behind me.

My body stiffens with anger and it takes several deep breaths to keep me calm enough to stay still.

“You must be upset,” she says quietly, a tiny smirk lingering on her lips as she dances her fingers across a dresser.

Growing up, we had never been close. In fact, we were polar opposites and had virtually nothing in common… but she was still my sister and I would never betray her like this.  How could she possibly do this to me?

“But I just wanted to get some things off my chest before you go,” she adds, perking up a bit.

I don’t respond, turning back to my bag and stuffing my passport, license, and birth certificate inside it.

“I love Christian,” she continues despite my lack of response. “I always have… and you took him from me the day I introduced you two,” she adds, bitterness lacing her words. “He was supposed to be with me and you just waltzed right in and took him!” She snaps. “So I’m not sorry,” she shakes her head. “It’s about time you knew that he and I love each other.”

I want to burst into laughter at her last remark. Just how delusional was she?

“We’re getting married in a week and just so we’re clear, you’re not invited,” she shrugs. “It’s my turn to be loved. Y-You have always been the center of attention, the pride and joy of our family. The one everyone wanted to love and I’ve always just been second best!” Tears line her eyes as she smiles cruelly at me. “Well not anymore! I win! I get the prince and you get nothing!”

I stare at her, utterly shocked by her confession because it could not be further from the truth. Vanessa was the life of the party, the prettier sister, the one everyone was pinning over. I mean she was Prom Queen for crying out loud! I was the bookworm, the one no one noticed in school while she was adored by everyone. How could she possibly think I could ever outshine her?

 “So there it is. That’s all I have to say to you,” she sighs with a smile, seemingly relieved to get this off her chest.

An unbelievable rage boils through my veins as I come to the conclusion that my sister was nothing more than a selfish b***h that I stupidly let into my life. Gritting my teeth, I nod my head and turn back to packing my bag.

“Okay,” I whisper, tightening my grip on the rings I still held in my hand. “Well then, I best get going. I wouldn’t want to get in your way any longer.”

My reaction stuns her.

“Seriously?” She asks, a bit of suspicion in her voice. “You’re just going to walk away without a fight?”

“Why would I fight you for him?” I shrug, zipping my bag shut and throwing it over my shoulder. I close the gap between us, a twisted part of me eager to hurt her. “But just remember this the next time he sucks on your t**s while you ride him,” I smirk, savoring the shocked look on her face. “He left me because I couldn’t give him his pup,” I chirp, reaching over to my nightstand and pulling out the bottle of aspirin. “Not because he loved you more.”

I could see the anger churning inside her and it felt good to get under her skin just this once. “And if he could leave me, his fated mate, so easily… how quickly do you think he’ll drop you when he gets bored of you too?”

Her eyes narrow to slits at me but I pay her no mind and stare at the bottle in my hands. As she opens her mouth to speak, I slam the bottle of aspirin against her chest .

“Oh and you’ll be needing these soon…” I smile, batting my eyelashes at her.  “Just be glad we don’t have another sister.”

I slam the door shut as she screams her head off, yelling vile things at me. Stiffing my laughs, I accidently  run right into Christian in the hallway, his cold eyes sending a chill down my spine.
