Gamma Be My Alpha: The Unwanted Luna

By Excelhights

I yearned to be acknowledged as a deserving Luna, even though the entire pack never addressed me as such. Nevertheless, I persevered, striving for their respect.
Within each pack, leaders must earn the pack's allegiance rather than coerce it. Hence, I continued to push myself beyond the limits I had never before explored.
Yet, despite my relentless efforts, I was deceived and betrayed. My so-called mate, Brett, and my supposed best friend, Jennifer, shattered my trust. We grew up without parents, but I cared for Jennifer as a sister would. Nevertheless, she plunged a metaphorical knife into my back.
Now and future, never again will I allow anyone to exploit my vulnerability, I will reclaim my standing.

CHAPTER 1 Pregnant

You're pregnant! Jennifer's voice jolted me awake.

Confused, I asked, Where am I? The room was cold and dark, but I could hear Jennifer's voice.

Suddenly, her tone turned menacing. But I'm going to get rid of you and that bastard in your womb!

Shocked, I exclaimed, What? Are you really going to do this, Jen? I thought we were sisters.

However, she simply walked away, leaving me alone in the darkness.

As I woke up, I realized it was all just a dream. I wished I had this dream earlier to avoid the pain of betrayal. I gripped the edge of the table, whimpering and trying to breathe through the pain.

It felt like the walls were closing in on me, and the thought of a positive test result lingered in my mind. My so-called mate and I had been trying for years to have a child, but it seemed to be driving a wedge between us as he became distant and cold.

In fact, our relationship may have already been ruined. There was nothing left after today.

Suddenly, the door swung open, causing me to jump in my seat. My family doctor, Gabriela Hayes, greeted me with a warm smile as she rubbed hand sanitizer on her hands before sitting down. My heart raced as I waited for her to speak.

Just breathe, Ms. Elissa Dixon.

Relax. She smiles, inhaling slowly with me and reaching for my hands.

She didn't even have the decency to call me Luna; what have I not done for her and the pack, oh my goodness?

My blood boiled, but what could I do but listen to her?

My hands were trembling, but I managed to calm down. Dr. Gabriela's smile deepened.

If only she knew that I never wanted to have a child with that vile man! What he did to me could never be forgiven.

Congratulations, Elissa, she says, placing her hand on my tummy.

Oh no, not now; I do not need a child!

At the moment, my mind was flooded with so many questions, but I still managed to let her conclude without getting any negative or positive feedback.

You're carrying our little Alpha in there.

My heart skips a beat as I process the news as she points at my tummy.

No! No! No!

I was literally shivering and screaming inside.

I'm pregnant! Oh my gosh, I'm pregnant! I closed my eyes and opened them again.

For how long? I whispered, barely able to put together a sentence while holding back the sob in my throat.

Well, we would find out!

Let's find out, shall we? Look. She smiled, but, oh man, I wasn't smiling. How could I?

squirting cold gel on my belly and pulling the ultrasound machine out.

I felt butterflies in my belly as I stared at the screen, unable to read the images but hoping somehow I could get rid of this child.

Well, I'd say from the looks of it, about 5 weeks and some days, which means we have to start your session immediately, Luna, she said sternly, handing me some documents.

I could not believe my ears, did she just call me Luna?

That means I was just a tool that would get them pups.

A werewolf pregnancy is very dangerous for a human.

We'll have to take extra measures at this point.

She brings out a towel and wipes the gel off my stomach, gives me information on what to expect, and prescribes me meds and full information on prenatal care.

Up until two days ago, my life was quite simple. I was the Alpha's human mate, as they say. I was his Luna, who everyone thought was as useless as an omega, or even more useless. I was his wife, at least to him. And then, in the blink of an eye, I became nothing.

All the memories of what happened came flooding back into my head.

I had gone out to get some fresh air after a heated argument. Brett told me I needed a break and should go out.

After a while, after I had become relaxed, I headed back to the pack house.

As I pulled up to the packing house, the pain I had always felt once again returned. I sat down on a bench for a minute to let it pass, clenching my teeth together to keep me from screaming.

Slowly, I drag myself up the beach and through the front door of the house. I met with several omegas eager to take my things as my mate commanded, but from the ugly look I always get from them, they were too uncomfortable with my presence, and the house was unusually quiet, or should I say empty?

I was tired and didn't have time to question it when a burning sensation spread across my chest, making every breath unbearable. I couldn't scream even if I wanted to; my lungs and damn organs were on fire.

I climbed up the stairs to the third floor, the Alpha's floor.

I was looking forward to lying down and resting for a long time; I was too weak to do anything but sleep.

With each step I took, it became even more difficult for me to take as the pain intensified. I felt thousands of needles piercing through my heart, but I didn't know why.

From where I stood at the top of the stairs, I could see the door to my room slightly open, and I could hear strange sounds coming from inside.

I thought Brett had gone out for a meeting? I muttered as I blinked; in fact, he encouraged me to go out for a while as he too was going out for a meeting. That was after I asked why I was always going through such pain, and he said that it was normal for me to feel all that pain as I was trying to get pregnant.

As I inched closer, an unmistakable scene unfolded before me, with my blood boiling at the sight.

CHAPTER 2 Betrayal

I can never get enough of you!

Ah! Ah! Ah! Brett! She moaned, eagerly bouncing up and down his buttocks.

I watched Jennifer flip him over.

Jennifer was on top of my husband, riding on him like a horse. She had this look of unmixed delight on the dark features of her face.

He said nothing, just palming her bare breasts in his hands as he moved her up and down his little monster.

Fuck! She whimpered, bouncing desperately. Deeper! She begged even more. I'd give you the kids! Don't forget your wife is infertile.

Please, deeper! Deeper! She continued to beg. I'll give you the pup you deserve. I'll be your Luna; the Luna Elissa couldn't be to you, I promise.

My eyes burned from the hot tears that rolled down my face.

Give me a pup, and you'd get everything you ever wanted.

My heart shattered into a million pieces as I heard Brett's voice. Between thrusts, Jennifer's moans grew even louder as she orgasmed.

My pain reached a climax as I watched him empty his sperm inside her. I place my hand over my mouth to keep myself quiet.

And I'll make you my Luna; you would never be bullied like Elissa, he whispered.

I didn't need to see any more of this loathsome scene, so I slowly backed away from the door and tiptoed down the stairs. I could hear their greatest intensity ringing in my ears. No, I didn't want to hear that anymore.

It was all a lie. They knew. They knew what I was feeling was my friend and mate's betrayal. I read about that in fantasy novels, but I thought it wasn't real. I mean, I'd never think that my friend, Brett, would do that to me.

However, I also believed werewolves to be fictional, but I got a werewolf as a partner, so why the heck did I believe it was all in my head?

They laughed when I told them about the pain; now I know that was to mock me for being so obviously clueless.

I had read that werewolves never betrayed their mates, but I guess my own case was different.

I was incredibly stupid to think he cared about me; I was only going to be used as a baby-making machine. I was still only a human to them—a f**king outsider.

What about my best friend? The only friends and family I had?

I had brought Jennifer to the pack after I mated with Brett.

We were both orphans, so I couldn't leave her after everything we had been through.

Brett had no objections to her joining the pack because I wanted her close to me, and he said he'd do anything for me.

I didn't know they had something so disgusting going on behind me.

Luna, what world are you lost in?

I jerked back to reality as she touched and looked at me. A liquid rolled down my cheeks, and I knew I was already crying.

Never mind, can I go now?

She looked at me and wanted to get a word from me, but after I said nothing, she muttered,

Sure, you can get going, but you can talk to me, Luna.

She smiled, not knowing how much I disliked the name Luna; she shouldn't address me as that, as always.

I stood up and walked out of the hospital, still grasping my pregnancy test results in my hands as I climbed into my car.

I didn't know where I was going, nor did I care, but I put my car in drive and sped off down the driveway.

I drove on for miles and miles into the forest, feeling the pain start all over again. At some point, I felt a ghastly burn across my body, which made me pull over.

I wanted to stumble out of the car to shout out my pain. When I got an idea at that point, I was truly a pitiful sight. I always try to be strong, but my reality is that I have always been a weak girl.

I was happy I didn't leave home with my gamma or any guard; I needed to be on my own and knew if he saw me like this, he'd be the first to let Brett know. Gammas were extremely protective and too domineering for me to handle at this point. I felt as though he had feelings for me at times, but I was not sure.

Maybe Eden would have been an even better mate.

Come on, Elli, calm down. I've got just the perfect plan. I comforted myself and looked at the steering wheel. No more being weak.

I was about to start the car again when I caught a glance at my results and tossed them out of the car.

I looked down at my flat stomach and realized no one except Doctor Gabriela knew I was pregnant. Just then, another idea came into my mind.

At first, I wanted to go home and ask for a divorce, but if Brett found out that I was carrying his child, he would never let go of me.

So I took out my phone and called Dr. Gabriela.

Ring. Ring.

Hello Luna, she immediately said as she picked up.

Hello, doctor, please, can you keep the news of me being pregnant to us? I said, I would love to tell Brett in my own time and in my own way.

I tried to sound as though I was super excited.

It's no problem, Luna; it's your call now.

I nodded as I heard her voice.

Thank you so much, Dr. Gabriela.

I hung up and gave her a bittersweet smile.

Without wasting time, I dialed another number on my phone and sent the call.

Ring, Ring.

Hello Jeff, please help me; I really need your help at this point, I said.

With what, Elli?

Jeff is one of my trusted friends. I'm not sure who to trust anymore, but I had no choice but to turn to him at the moment.

CHAPTER 3 Nightmare

I'd be having an accident in about five minutes, I said, looking at my wristwatch. Please help me. Also, make an I lost a baby result.

I could feel his hesitation. No questions, please. If you ever cared about me, you'd do this for me. Thanks.

I immediately hung up before he started asking questions.

With renewed determination, I started the car and headed to the big tree I saw in front of me. Hello, dear baby, I'm so sorry for what I'm about to do, I say as tears roll down my cheeks, but if you are here to stay, then you'd stay with me even after this.

I harshly wiped my face, and with renewed determination, I read that mate bonds, once formed through marking, were hard to break but not totally impossible.

There are two ways to break it: either.

Get the approval of the pack elders and hold a rejection ceremony. It would be humiliating to be stripped of all titles.

Have a witch divide our mated souls, but that would be extremely painful, so I'm interested in that idea.

I also read somewhere that if the mate hatefully revised the mating process, it would break, and since I don't want to be humiliated nor do I want too much pain, I'd try the third one.

Please be with me. I smiled and closed my eyes as the car collided with the big tree.

I hit my head on the steering wheel and could feel myself losing consciousness, but it was nothing compared to the pain of betrayal from my loved ones.

Hey, hey Luna...

I heard Eden's voice; if it wasn't him, then who else?

Are you okay? He whispered as he sat down beside me on the bed I was lying on. Are you okay? I'm worried; I mean, we are all worried. He corrected himself, but I could sense worry in his voice as I blinked my eyes open.

He is always worried about me, but when I remembered that he probably knew about Brett and Jennifer's affair, I sighed.

I'm fine. I innocently smiled at him. I pointed at the visitor's seat so he could take his seat and leave me alone.

I was not in the mood to talk to him; he was always babysitting me, which is one of the things I hate about him.

Where is Brett?

I acted ignorant and asked him, not that I didn't know where he was or what exactly he was doing, but I wanted to hear another lie from Eden; yes, he'd lie for his betrayer, an Alpha.

Luna, the Alpha, says, He is busy with work, and he will be here in a while; just be patient."

Ha! Patient, indeed.

I could not help but sneeze inside of me; silly Eden was already sweating profusely. At this point, I understood that the reason he'd always start sweating after I asked him a question was because he was telling a lie. Well, someone just isn't good at lying, while others are just too stupid to understand.

So what am I expected to be doing here if my mate has become too busy to care that I'm in the hospital? By the way, what am I doing here?

Eden blinked for a while before opening his mouth to answer me.

You got into an accident, Luna.

He said that, and I nodded at him. Right from the start, he was the only one who truly accepted me as his
