An Alpha will always choose their mate above all else. Zion had waited for his mate for a long time, and I knew I had to leave the packhouse. I was confident that if needed, I could face Alpha Zach head on.
My training had been thorough, and I had both my wolf and my Lycan to rely on. If my physical strength failed me, Alpha Zach would not be able to defeat my Lycan.
"Alpha Zion..." I started, but he cut me off. "No interruptions, Bella."
I knew what his decision would be, and I wanted to relieve him of the guilt, but he didn't want that. So, I waited for him to deliver the final blow, which turned out to be a complete shock to me. I choose my nephew and his mother," he revealed.
A stunned silence took over the atmosphere before the maids broke out in cheers, followed by Madai and Apphia. I was too stunned to react.
After making it clear that he only saw me as a sister, how could he choose me over his mate? This wasn't right, and I felt sorry for Elisa.
