The Destined Alpha

Kamilah Ziraili’s POV

There are times that I just want to disappear.

And that time is now.

“Watch where you’re going, b*tch!”

I cringed as I heard Jessica’s high-pitched voice yell at me. I was just walking on my way to my house, but she took it as a chance to bully me. She flipped her ash grey hair with blonde highlights that cascaded on her back, batting her eyelashes at me with her pointy nail, ass always. She knew she could get away just because she’s the daughter of the past Beta of the past Alpha, Beta Drake…much higher status than a lowly omega like me.

I gulped, forcing my mouth to bear it for now. Never in my life did I expect to live worse than I had imagined. I mean, I had always been treated like sh’t, but most of the time, it was bearable. I couldn't even count the times I was pushed to my limit, but I had managed to live because of the very thing that kept me living.

Darian Barnes, the son of the Alpha of our Shadow pack.

My heart fluttered at the thought of him and Jessica noticed my expression so she chuckled, “No way, are you really thinking of your knight in shining armor right now?” She taunted, “Darian! Come save me! I’m scared!” She said in a tiny voice as if mocking me.

My eyes instantly snapped at her, now irritated. Gritting my teeth, my hands instantly met her cheek and she released a gasp, not sure if I really did hit her.

“Did you just-“

“Yes. I did. And I will do it again if you won’t shut up. I’m tired of dealing with your b*tchy ass.”

Out of everything, I don’t want anyone to mock Darian. Mocking me like that is like mocking him.

She gasped, “Do you realize the situation you’re in? I can tell this to my dad.”

I snorted, “Go ahead. I don’t care. Continue licking after your dad’s shadow.”

Her dark brown eyes filled with rage and her hands were about to hit me when a hand stopped her.

“Quiet, Beta Drake’s b*tch.”

I heard Darian’s deep voice beside me, hovering tall over my 5’3 ass. His earthy scent lingered on me, tickling my nose. Darian is 6'1 in height, almost the same size as his dad now. His cerulean eyes seemed to drown my soul whenever we made eye contact, his shiny blonde hair that he kept in a neat style, and his exuding aura shone wherever he goes, attracting and intimidating everyone around him. He’s ready to take his role as the future alpha now. He looks drop-dead gorgeous and ravishing.

As much as I want to oggle up on him, I am in a situation right now. I glanced at him and he flashed me a concerned look, “Are you really letting this b*tch torment you for life, Kamilah?”

I shook my head wanting to defend myself, “I did fight for myself, Darian…”

He glared at Jessica, “Are you going to slap my friend, Beta’s daughter?”

Jessica was breathing heavily, “She started it, Darian. And I have a name!”

Darian loomed over her, raising his eyebrows, “Are you talking back to your future Alpha?”

“I-I,” Jessica stuttered before glancing at me and snapping, “You ugly b*tch! You won’t get away with this!”

I smirked as she left us, and I could hear Darian’s deep sexy laugh thundering from his chest.

Darian offered his hand for me to high five before laughing out loud, “Did you see her reaction?”

I accepted his hand and we both burst into laughter, “She was completely mortified by you.”

Darian looked at me, “It’s the first time I saw you slapping her like that. How does it feel?”

I bit my lip, “Satisfying.”

“Good. Now do that often, I want to grab popcorn and see her suffer.”

He ruffled my hair and I looked up at him, “Thanks for the backup, Darian.”

He put his hands on my shoulders to comfort me, “no problem, you know I always got you. Go home. You have to prepare for tonight. I’m busy preparing so I’ll see you later?”

He flashed me his boyish smile before leaving me.

I watched as he walked away from me. It was not just Jessica who would treat me like this. When I was still a pup, Darian saw me weak from being bullied, all bruised up from head to toe. I thought he would also join in bullying me but instead, he yelled at them, and frightened them off with a protective stance.

He helped me up when I was at my worst, which let me be able to live comfortably for a while, but when everyone found that Darian and I became close, they tried to let me experience hell and did everything for me to get banished.

But unfortunately for them, I am tough. I held on. Held every day… hoping for Darian to see me not just as more than friends…

All that matters to me is Darian…
