Betrayed by my Alpha mate

Tessa's point of view I went to the valley of the cliff and took the tulips in my hands while walking to pick up my bag and place the flowers there delicately. It was one of the most special days for me and my partner. Valen the Alpha had wanted to organise the moon ceremony for a few weeks, but he couldn't find the perfect day to do it. However, it seems that a few days ago the grandmaster announced that tonight the moon will be red. It was the right time for the ceremony! Everyone had been waiting for this day, but me, I was the one who was most excited about it. With a huge smile on my face I walked to the house. I quickly noticed that the whole herd was there, busy with the decorations. Men, women and children were helping with everything. They were preparing a great feast while the little ones were decorating the path that my partner and I were about to walk down. When my partner gets the throne and ascends to Alpha, he will choose his Moon to rule by his side. as his bellwether I have to prepare for that and become his moon. It had been 3 years since I met my mate, but, no one else knew. Ethan and I were keeping it a secret, but. i don't understand why my partner wants this to be a secret, maybe he wants to surprise you all on the red moon night. However, I've been feeling very sad that no one knows about it. I have to watch him from a distance, without anyone noticing. But after that night, things will change. I hope this will be over! Today the whole world will know that he and I are mates! I immediately turned around and noticed a group of girls standing by the entrance. One of them was Brickell, the most skilled woman in the pack. She hated me, for no reason. She used to always look for ways to make me feel unhappy or inferior. She was so beautiful, with her curly hair and her green eyes like a huge shiny emerald. She always had pale, smooth skin. She was perfect in so many ways. "Tessa? Where did you come from? Don't answer, I know, did you go looking for silly tulips?" Brickell insinuated with a mocking laugh. Her voice is a great din to my ears. She never misses an opportunity to humiliate me. "Sky Brickell, can't you see that Tessa just wants to impress the future Alpha with this?" said another one of the girls. "Yeah, yeah, it's obvious" Brickell added mockingly "Tessa, Tessa, you should know that the future Alpha is not someone easy to impress. don't you know that he doesn't care about your silly tulips?. you should think of something better if you plan to sleep with him". "Look at her, she thinks the future Alpha will love a nobody. She's so naive". "Tessa, if I were you, I would have killed myself". You can't transform, you're weak, dumb and unimpressive" Brickell added with mockery. As soon as she finished speaking, a burst of laughter followed one after the other. I was not offended, this was their habit. It used to happen every day. They always made fun of me, they didn't even give me a chance to speak. "Come on Brickell, don't bother the poor fool. She won't even try to win over the future Alpha. Look at her, don't you see? she hasn't even been able to wake up her wolf. Poor fool. How is our Alpha going to love such a fool?" "I don't think she belongs in the wolf family. If she's not a wolf, she's useless... Ethan must feel sorry for you not to have kicked you out of the pack." Just hearing her, my fingers squeezed the tulips hard enough to ruin them completely. it was as if a hatred was looming in my heart. What if I don't change? just because I haven't awakened the wolf in me, doesn't mean I'm not worth it... they were wrong! Even without having transformed I'm part of the wolf family, but... yet I've never had the courage to respond. they had found their wolf, they could... I can only curse inside me... as Brickell prepared to continue to humiliate me endlessly. They continued to laugh in my face. But, just as they were about to insult me again, someone's cold voice came out like thunder. "What are you doing in there? you should be in the kitchen!" I quickly looked up and saw him there. It was Connor, the young Beta of the pack. He was perfect. He was always with his high gaze and his perfectly handsome face. "Go and do your job. don't waste my time with your stupid games" he added in his cold voice. When his voice boomed in their ears, they immediately closed their mouths and with an embarrassed expression lowered their gaze before quickly walking away. "Are you okay?" he asked as he approached me. "I'm fine. don't worry. it's nothing that hasn't happened before," I said with a relieved expression on my face. As he heard me, I could tell Connor was frowning gently "You must stay with the Alpha or the future Alpha. or they will continue to make fun of you. you can't let this happen. You must do something" he hinted in a low tone. Connor always showed up at the right time. He always helped me! He's so warm and cuddly. He's one of the few in the pack that I trust. He wasn't like the others, he was different, unfortunately my mate was the one I loved. "Don't worry Connor, after that night no one will be able to make fun of me. Ethan said that today he will tell everyone about us and I will finally be the moon of the pack." "He said that?" From the tone of Connor's voice, he seemed a little surprised at my words, but I nodded without hesitation "yes.... Now I'm going to go get some more tulips, so I have to go. Thanks for helping me" Connor just looked at the flowers and smiled slightly "You went to the big valley for those tulips again?" "Yeah, how could I not? they're his favourite" I replied rubbing the petals gently. Tulips bloom in the valley, filling the whole territory with a golden lilac. They always bloom in autumn, from the edge of our herd's river. From that day on, tulips were the symbol of our herd, as their colour made us shine more than any other herd. "All right... I'll see you tonight" Connor nodded and said before he left. As soon as he walked away, I looked up and sighed with excitement. I quickly left the house and saw that the sun was about to set, not wanting to waste any more time I ran down to the valley for more tulips. On the way to the valley I couldn't help but smile, after all it would be my last night as Tessa the nobody. After that night I could call him my partner in front of everyone and Brickell and the rest would show me respect. When I got back from the valley I ran to the house to get ready with excitement, but just as I passed the bedrooms I heard a couple of groans. It was quite loud, which made me stop. Curious, I looked up and looked around. Finally I found a slightly open room. I walked a little and as I got closer the moaning got louder. I silently gathered the flowers in my fingers and sighed calmly. They were wild, cumbersome moans, until I clearly heard the sound of a slap on the skin. I... I shouldn't be listening to this, but, suddenly my heart was racing... Something was happening... I had to keep listening... I had to keep hearing... Without hesitation I slowly approached the door and tilted my head to look inside. The bed inside the room was shaking violently as two completely naked people were jumping on it. The man on top pushed the woman with all his might until she gave an intense moan. Shaking my head I wanted to get out of there... I had to get ready for that night, but my feet stayed attached to the floor. What was I doing there? Thinking about it I turned to walk away, but just at that moment I heard the girl's anxious voice. "Ethan... oh dear! Ethan... I'm going to... ooh" At that instant my heart was beating with all its speed, a lump in my throat tightened... I wanted to run away, but I froze completely. my feet kept clutching unconsciously on the ground. Was it...? "Yes honey... come to your Alpha... Come to me! come!" the man's voice echoed loudly in my ears. But... how... How could that be possible? I felt my soul leave my body and I remained outside for a few seconds... without controlling myself, I couldn't help but go inside. Without controlling myself, I couldn't help but walk into the room, stopping the couple's apogee on the bed. Quickly they heard the sound of the door and turned around. standing in front of them I could see their shocked expressions as they saw me standing there looking at them with a surprised look on my face. "Tessa?" said Ethan standing up and grabbing a towel to wrap around his waist. "You... What are you doing here?" I asked myself.. My eyes were not on Ethan, actually, I was looking at the woman covering her nakedness with the sheet "Why did you do that?" were the only words I could utter, while looking at the two people in front of me. My tears came out and my eyes blushed. The man was my destined mate, but... the woman was Lexa, my sister.
