Claimed by My Bully Alpha (by Anna Kendra) novel Chapter 78

Chapter 78

Caleb’s P.O.V

And why was I always at the centre of all this mess?

Was it because I was the future Alpha? Did they think I was a brainless idiot? Easy to and easy to win over?

I sighed and ran a hand down my face. I was tired of dealing with Shane. He had a ton of issues to solve for himself and maybe going to New York was the best thing that could have happened to him.

But right now, he was the least of my problems. So I decided to make amends before he left, in hope that this was the last time I would see this version of him. But now, I wasn’t so sure anymore. I wasn’t sure if this was the last time I was going to see him being a dick and I wasn’t sure if he was ever going to get out this phase where his family’s opinion of him dictated majority of his life.

“Put it all behind you.” I told him finally, placing a hand on his shoulders. “Forget what happened and train hard. I want you to come back a new person. As a friend who would have my back no matter what. Do that for yourself, Shane, not for your parent’s, not for anyone else. Be who you want to be, be a better person because you want to look in the mirror and be proud of the person staring back at you.”

When Shane looked up at me, his grey eyes were glazed over. “I promise. You’ll be proud of me.”

I pulled him in for a tight hug, giving him some form of comfort that would help him last two whole years outside of his pack. And then he was on his way to New York, to spend the rest of his high school year and to train to become a better soldier and hopefully, a better person.

I would miss him, but I also missed the boy who he used to be before anger and resentment clouded his mind.

Caroline entered the room about half an hour later; to tell me the news that Shane had left the pack territory. I hadn’t gone to see him off, mostly because we had already said our goodbyes and also because I needed time to process my own emotions.

“So?” Caroline came to stand beside me, placing a hand on my shoulder. “How did it go?”

“As good as it could’ve been.” I sighed, running a hand through my hair. “How are things with

your

parents?”

She gave a nervous laugh as she shook her head. “They still believe that if I stick close to you, maybe the bond will reform. They’re still hoping for a miracle…a chance for their daughter to become the future Luna of the pack…”

“I don’t understand why people think that the mating bond can be manipulated.” I shook my head, still astounded by the idea, “Just because some premonitions have come true in the past, doesn’t mean that the bond had been manipulated. Those had just been lucky coincidences. Accidents that felt like the will of the goddess, but they were just that…accidents.”

There had been stories that sometimes people had been able to manipulate the bond after falling in love with a different person. But those were just baseless stories. Our mates are decided the day we are born and the Moon Goddess provides us all with our most deserving mates.

“You’re the future Alpha.” Caroline reminded me. “There will always be people who would want to manipulate you into one thing or another. Being able to control you would mean being able to control an entire pack.”
