The Alpha's Unwanted Omega Mate novel Chapter 57

Chapter 57

Peter

Ever since that night, I can’t get it all out of my mind. I couldn’t think straight and did something I couldn’t take back. The moment I saw Samuel, I knew he was my mate. I felt the urge to protect him so I did my best to become a good friend of his. If I was closer to him, then maybe he’ll come to see me in a different light. As I did though, that longing only grew which tormented me.

What makes matters worse is his devotion to his first best friend and crush: Daisy, my own best friend’s mate and my Luna. Jealousy is all I feel when! watch them together. I want to yank him away and never let them see each other ever again. Samuel is mine and no one else’s.

As I follow him tonight, I see that he’s struggling. A pang of guilt runs through me. I shouldn’t have dismissed him that way the morning after we slept together but I had to be laser focused on finding Skylar. Seeing him walk up to me only made me want to lock him away for only me to see. He is everything I ever wanted in a mate and special in every way too.

I just haven’t been able to explain it to him either as he hasn’t let me anywhere near him. So now I’m back to shadowing him so that he stays safe when I’m not busy with patrols. Tonight, he’s stumbling through the woods towards the lake. He goes there when he wants to think and be alone. He usually stares out into the water with the stars reflecting in his eyes.

I watch as he kneels in front of the water and splashes some onto his face. As I admire him, I still can’t believe how lucky I am. The only female I ever loved was Rosie but she turned out to be Aiden’s mate. Now to have someone who tooks like her, her brother at that, and that he’s so special? I thought it strange that he smelled like he was going into heat but after seeing him all for the first time, I understood completely. He truly was made for me.

“Sammy?” A familiar voice calls out and I spot my Luna sitting my the lake. I grit my teeth in annoyance and glare at her presence. Daisy is always in the way but it’s not like I can do anything to her. She’s Aiden’s mate after all. As I had to back off from Rosie, I make sure to do the same with Daisy.

“D–Daisy…?” He stammers and bites his lip. “H–hey there…” he walks over to her side and sits down next to her. “I guess you… needed some alone time too…” he brings his knees to his chest. My heart aches as I want nothing more than to hold him close.

“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.” Daisy murmurs and sighs. She must be getting overwhelmed with emotions about Skylar which is understandable. I know she blames herself even if none of it is her fault.

Samuel nods with a look of sympathy. “Yeah… I’m sure it is exhausting. Plus you have the stress of being pregnant too.” As he puts his chin on one of his knees, he frowns. “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.”

Samuel shouldn’t be sorry for that. As Daisy tilts her head, her eyes fill with guilt as they should. “Um… do you want to maybe… talk about it? I might be able to give you some advice but… I’d have to know what it’s all about.”

Samuel pales and starts to tremble. “I–I don’t know… you may just… laugh at me or… not understand my hesitation…” he hides his face. My heart starts to pound in my chest as I realize what he’s talking about and I hold my breath.

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

The moment of truth… but what he says is like a punch in the gut. “I–I…” He looks down at the water. “I… I found my second chance mate but… I don’t know if I can… accept it… I mean… how can I?” What? My heart sinks. He… can’t accept me? I tune out what Daisy says and listen to Samuel,

“When… did you find out?” Daisy asks. “You’ve been of age for so long so… didn’t you know when you came looking for me?”

Samuel shakes his head. “Victor… my wolf protected me from the truth. I didn’t find out until… the night Skylar was taken.” He cl. >his eyes. “A night… wish I could forget forever.” His voice trembles in sorrow and I feel myself shatter.

I stumble back and don’t even hear what they say next. I spin around and walk off my heart pounding loudly in my ears. He wants to forget that night. I don’t know why I’m so broken over it but… it hurts more than I’d like to admit.

I walk back to the pack and make my way to a certain house. I walk upstairs and then sit down by a bed. As I stare blankly at the person on the bed, I remember their confession to me years ago. I coldly rejected them and ever since we haven’t been friends at all.
