The Alpha's Unwanted Omega Mate novel Chapter 51

Chapter 51

Daisy

The moon tonight is lovely and full. As I sit under the stars by my favorite lake, I can’t help but let my mind wander. Everyone tells me to stay positive. I hear it so many times a day at this point that it makes me want to scream. If I keep being reminded of my pup’s absence, how can I stay in the right mindset? Don’t they know that it only makes me more depressed?

“Skylar will be home soon! I’ll make sure of it.” Aiden assured me like always. “Everything will be back to normal soon. I promise.” How can he promise something like that? I don’t want us both to be disappointed.

“Try to keep your stress levels down,” Olivia told me after examining me. “I know it’s hard but you don’t want to cause any issues with your twins. It’s still early in the pregnancy so you must try and breathe.” Easier said than done. I don’t want to harm the twins but how can I not be upset?

Everyone else in the packs says the same thing too. “Don’t worry, Luna! Let us do the work and bring Skylar home. Focus on your unborn pups and we will get our future Alpha home!” They’re so sweet and it makes me feel so much pride that they care about us so much. Again though it’s hard on everyone when they make promises they can’t keep.

“What am I supposed to do?” Little Ebony asked me in a sad tone. “Mama won’t wake up and Sky is gone. I’m all alone.” Her cries of despair echo through the pack and break our hearts every time. I do my best to be with her so she isn’t all alone but she pushes me away too. I don’t know how to help her… especially since I can hardly help myself.

I let out a sigh and close my swollen eyes. I barely have any tears left to cry. All I have now is a deep feeling of emptiness. My sorrow is slowly turning into nothing. If I think about it long enough, it starts to burn into flames of fury but without an outlet, it dies out back to the same hollowness left behind.

What am I to do? In my condition, I’m practically useless. Naomi whimpers and whines in my head as she misses our spunky and adventurous pup. When I look at Skylar, no longer see Tristian. All I can see is Sky, my sweet little pup. He is his own little person and it’s hard not to adore him.

Is this my punishment for hating him in the beginning? Does the Moon Goddess believe I need this test to be a better Luna and mother before my twins are born? I pray to in my mind: please let Skylar return unharmed. I don’t know what I’d do otherwise.

The sudden rustling of leaves brings me out of my thoughts. A familiar yet off scent reaches my nose and I watch as Samuel stumbles into the clearing. He looks out of sorts and distracted. Come to think of it, he’s the only person who hasn’t spoken to me much since Skylar’s disappearance.

I stay back and watch him splash lake water on his freckled face. Something keeps to be weighing on his mind as he looks pale and confused. He looks like he could use a friend. Maybe I need him more than he needs me right now, but maybe we can help each other. I hesitate before making my presence known. “Sammy?” I call out to him.

Samuel jumps and looks towards me his eyes wild. “D–Daisy…?” He stammers and bites his lip. “H–hey there…” his hands are trembling as he makes his way over to my side. “I guess you… needed some alone time too…” he sits by me on the grass and brings his knees to his chest.

As I watch him, I can’t figure out what’s so different about him. He’s grown into a handsome young man of course that much hasn’t changed. So what’s different about him? Why can’t I put my finger on it? “Yeah… I needed a break from everyone. I know they’re trying to help but… it’s not helping at all… hearing their promises all the time.”

Samuel nods. “Yeah… I’m sure it is exhausting. Plus you have the stress of being pregnant too.” He frowns and puts his chin on one of his knees. He seems tense now. “I’m sorry I haven’t been there for you. I’ve been… dealing with my stuff… I guess. I have a lot on my mind… and I don’t know how to

handle it.”

I tilt my head. I haven’t spent any time with Samuel lately so I don’t know how he’s been doing. Does that make me a terrible friend? I hope not. “Um… do you want to maybe… talk about it?” I ask. “I might be able to give you some advice but… I’d have to know what it’s all about.”

Samuel tenses more and swallows hard. He looks shaken to his core which only makes me more concerned. What’s been going on with him to make him this way? “I–I don’t know… you may just… laugh at me or… not understand my hesitation,” he hides his face and trembles.

I place a hand on his shoulder. “Sammy, you can tell me anything. Don’t forget… I’m your best friend first and your Luna second.” I offer a small smile. “But I won’t push you either. Tell me when you’re ready. If you’re never ready… that’s ok too.”

Samuel looks up at me. His eyes are bloodshot and dull. Not only does he look like he’s not been sleeping well but also like he’s been crying for days on
