Spoiled by my Ex’s Uncle 2

LEILA MILLER

That is the reason why I never bothered to tell Matt about my real identity. It did not matter, or so I thought. I thought it would not matter no matter what I was asked to do, no matter how much blood I had to give in because of my Alpha lineage. I am the daughter of an Aloha, my body and wolf are strong enough to be able to handle no matter how many blood I am asked to give. But that turns out to be wrong, and not what I had assumed previously. Apparently, my body is not as strong as I had thought it is before.

Back then it was all about convincing the lack, for them to be able to accept my rogue status. But lately, it was all about his Uncle all of the sudden. Though, admittedly it was not always about his uncle. He had mentioned him before, and I tried to understand it but recently, he spoke more of him. More of his Uncle Sebastian as though he was some reachable person that was so out of reach.

Alpha Sebastian from what I know is his mother’s brother, and he owned territories larger than that of our new moon pack. I have heard of him even back then, though the stories about him were more ruthless and a bit too much that I just never gave him much thought. But with Matt’s constant obsession with trying to prove himself to him now, it was just too much now.

Matt kept mentioning how much he wanted to prove himself to Sebastian especially recently. He wanted to get on his good sides, but just for himself but for the Alpha of our pack as well. Alpha Sebastian’s power and territories is growing as much as his company is, and our, or should I say, their New Moon pack wanted to form an alliance with him, a desperate one so they can climb the ladder higher as well.

Since Alpha Ferris, New Moon Alpha could not secure the deal, Matt thought he would be able to do it by some sort of miracle.

“I need to do this,” he mentioned just earlier this morning. “If I could be able to secure this deal, it would mean a lot to me at work. I can even get promoted. Imagine what it would mean for me, for both of us. I would not only be considered in a higher light by Alpha Ferris and my Uncle, but I might also get promoted at work. I need to do this and get it right, Leila.”

Even as he said that, as his eyes silently pleaded with me to understand what he was trying to say, I can not help but feel everything he has said thus far was about him rather than it was about me really. It was about himself, his reputation, his position at work. But where do I fit in, where do I as the woman who left ever ur thing she had, or in his eyes, came with nothing and from nothing fit in?

My thoughts had basically spiraled out of place, and every thing I have known for two years pressed on my mind, weighing me down. It felt too suffocating as I watched it all crumble right in front of me.

And suddenly, I felt my wolf’s voice play in my mind, her voice so soft I had almost forgotten what it sounded like before.

“Leila you are giving up too much for him, and he has not given anything back in two years. Is it worth it?”

I sighed, my eyes flicking shut as my mind raced with thoughts, and I found myself trying to comprehend and reply my wolf in my mind. “You will not understand,” I sighed, my shoulders slumping while he slept away peacefully by my side, unaware of the turmoil going on in her mind. “I am trying, I really am. Everything is just so complicated.”

“No it is not,” she said, sounding more insistent now. She has always been more firm than I am, truly the alpha blood wolf line stronger than my human side. “You know there is something wrong. There has always been. Deep down, Leila you know it.”
