The Alphas Unwanted Mate

As Kayla brushed down her waist-long brunette hair, she looked deeply into the mirror, to the image staring right back at her; wearing a sad and weary face. Slowly, she lowered the brush, dropped it on the table right beneath the mirror, and looked back into the mirror, shuddering as tears gathered to the brink of her eyes.

It was her senior year's first day of school, and she was turning 18 in a month. As everyone had their melting point, Kayla’s was quite unbearable for her to carry. Being a young wolf in a pack with the scariest Alpha, Kayla had to battle with her identity because her colleagues were finding their mates already and she haven’t had her first turn yet.

She looked deeply into the mirror as a drop of tear fell from her left eye which she wiped off immediately she heard footsteps heading towards her room door

“My goodness Kayla, don’t you have ears? I’ve been calling you” Emily McCall, Kayla’s mum said as she swung her room door open to meet Kayla who wore deep blue baggy jeans which was held at the waist with a washed brown belt and a hand-knitted sleeveless sweater which was tucked in while her hair flowed down her little waist.

“I was to call you down for breakfast but what on earth are you wearing!” her mum half yelled as she closed the door behind her and walked to her closet, pulling out any possible cloth she could wear while groaning in frustration

“We need to go shopping this afternoon. I mean what the hell? For goodness sake Kayla, you’re in your final year in high school, you need to stop dressing like that, especially now that Ava is mated to Jayden. You know well enough that we are no more in hiding which means you-”

‘Ava, always Ava’ Kayla said to herself, walking out of the room while her mum hipped a pile of cloth on her bed

“Where the hell are you going, I’m talking to you!” her mum yelled as she headed out with her backpack. Coming down the stairs, she met her dad having breakfast with Ava.

“Good morning dad” she greeted grumpily while heading toward the front door

“Good morning my girl.” He said slowly as he tried to observe her movement but saw her turn the door knob and spoke up

“Where do you think you’re going without eating?” he said while she groaned and turned to him

“I’m not hungry” she said rather conveniently

“No, I won’t accept that, you should have something in your stomach at least

“Dad, I said I'm not hungry,” she said with a bolder voice

“But-“

“Daddy, the human said she’s not hungry. Maybe their stomach doesn’t operate the way the stomach of wolves does. Take me for example, I have to eat for two and-”

“That’s enough Ava!” he snapped “I’m not going to tolerate this unspeakable character from you, certainly not. If anyone outside should do that, it certainly shouldn’t be you, you hear me?” he said as he turned to look back at Kayla but only heard her warming up her car engine and driving out
