The Alpha's Mistake

There are those who claim that it never was possible but then there are also those who think they are safe in the modern world of technology and weapons. safe from all the ancient evil. They believed that wizard, witches, vampires, dragon and werewolves where long dead.

A world where life has become unfair and unjust. The world dominated by werewolves wasn't easy for some of them as they moved to live in between humans for one reason or the other. most of them hid their identity and even mate with the human, they end up having mixed babies with the blood of a human and a werewolf which is known as a Hybrid.

The wind blew lovely air, making street workers put on their cardigans to prevent cold but soon enough an umbrella was visible everywhere as the rain began to pour hard. Few without umbrellas were seen running to prevent being soaked in the rain.

Miriam was soaked in tears as the black stain of her eye pencil lingered all over her face, she had no care in whatever situations she was presently in. Her neatly arranged and flowered-looking hair an hour ago now looked a mess. Her wedding dress was torn and drenched in water, she cried and laughed at the same time.

Anybody who would catch sight of her might mistake her for a runaway bride but it was nothing close to that. She slowly walked under the rain, not minding the number of stares she got from people. Her life was nothing and shattered without Christian. All the taxi drivers she boarded wouldn't stop, she wanted to get to the beach real soon.

A car soon stopped in front of her. Without looking at the car or person, she pulled open the back seat before sliding inside.

"Please, drive to the beach," she ordered. "I can't mam, it's like an hour's journey and the clouds aren't so good," the driver insisted.

"Please, take this wedding ring, it is worth a lot, I would give it to you in exchange for driving me there," she said, pulling out the ring from her finger to hand to the driver.

"Alright," he muttered.

The drive was slow and with every passing minute, Miriam felt sad, pained, devastated, and depressed. What more to life without Christain in it. "We are here?" The driver muttered.

"Thank you," she said, pushing the door open to get out. The rain was almost done, it was left with a little drizzle, she walked towards the beach, the breeze pushing her hair and clothes back but she had no care for her situation.

"I hope you know I loved you Christian and I can't live without you," she muttered striding into the big stream. She stridden deeper until she couldn't swim anymore, she began to struggle until she couldn't anymore.

The lovely breeze coming into the one-bedroom flat of Miriam and her sister was enormous. She was already shivering but not from the breeze, she was nervous because by seven pm dot! Christain was coming to pick her up.

She kept wandering from one side of the apartment to the other while checking her watch. Soon there was a knock on the door, she adjusted her dress before going to open the door but to her surprise, her elder sister Eleanor was the one at the door.

"Miriam darling, why do you look disturbed?" Miriam's sister asked, dropping the basket she held on the tiny table. "Eleanor, Christian is coming to pick me up, I guess I am just nervous because his parents don't like me." Miriam said glaring at her sister.

Eleanor placed a hand on her hair, Miriam guessed she was trying to arrange them. "Miriam, you are perfect, nobody can resist your beauty or kind heart! Have you thought about why Christian fell in love with you in the first place?" Eleanor asked and she shook her head.

"Because you are incredible, Miriam Alexander, our parents must be proud of the lady you have become in heaven! May their souls rest in peace." Eleanor said as a knock was heard from the door. She turned her head towards the direction of the door before staring back at Eleanor.

"I think Christian is here," she said standing up to get to the door, she opened the door to notice Christain at the door! Seeing him at the door made Miriam blush with one of her most charming smiles.

"Hey, have you been waiting for me for a long time?" Christian asked, wrapping his hands around her waist.

"No, don't flatter yourself! I was getting ready actually." She lied. She could smell the flavorful scent of his fragrance, it was killing her crazily. He leaned closer and kissed her nose softly before asking.

"Can I come in?" He asked.

"Sure," she said, going inside the room to grab her bag. Immediately she was done grabbing her bag.

Miriam came back to notice Christian chuckling with Eleanor in a way that made Miriam curiously want to ask what they were discussing but Christain chipped in immediately.

"Can we?" he asked, making Miriam nod her head. They finally reached the Robert Mansion. Expensive-looking Cars were packed everywhere, Miriam could feel her heartbeat! It felt like her heart was going to pop out any second from now.

"Are you okay?" Christain's voice startled her. "Yes Christian, just thinking, your parents don't like me! You know the background I come f..." Miriam tried to complete what she was saying but Christain silenced her with a kiss on the lips.

"They don't only like you, but they also love you," he said, opening his car door and coming to open hers.

"Thank you," she said as Christian held her hand to help her get up from her seat.

They strolled into the building as a well-dressed bodyguard approached Christain to whisper to his ear which he nodded before holding her hands more tightly as they strolled to the garden where the party was going on. From the look of things, the party was wholly for the rich. Miriam knew from their expensive dresses and makeup, she sure didn't belong here.

"Christain, can I just get some water?" She asked before striding in the direction of flavored drinks and water. There was a sound from the microphone! It felt like someone was trying to make an announcement, she strode to where some group of girls stood.

"Hey everyone, thank you for taking your time to welcome my son who just got back from Mexico and I'm using this medium to congratulate him on being a counselor. His father said, earning cheering and applause from the crowd.

"Hold on, that's not all," The man said, raising one of his hands to stop the cheering. "Please welcome my son Christain Robert." he finally said, making Christian head to the stage to take the microphone.

Miriam instantly felt proud at that moment. I mean, Christian was just her man alone and nobody was stopping them or their relationship. "Thank you dad," Christain uttered before giving his father a side hug.

"Hello everyone, thank you for coming to my welcome party! I feel honored and my stay in New York has been wonderful, and most especially with one loving woman in my life now." He said, making the girls who stood close to Miriam scream with happiness. Miriam didn't care about them. She knew Christian was already hers and her alone, she loved him that she couldn't ever share him. She could notice him coming down the stage and striding to where she and the girls stood. The screaming of the girls was increasing with each step he took nearer! Maybe they thought he was coming to pick one of them.

"Uhmmm, if you would allow me. For some time now! I have been living a sad life." He uttered on the microphone.

"Yes, from being a depressed man. I became happy once more and that is every minute and everyday of my new life, because of you!" Christain said pointing at Miriam who blushed shyly.

He came to Miriam's front as he kept staring into her eyes and she also stared back.

"I don't want to be ever depressed again or want my life to lose direction because I want to wake up every morning to know that you would be beside me. I love you very much Miriam, more than my own life!" He said to her with a charming smile.

"You are the most beautiful, gorgeous, and most incredible person I have met in my life, you have shown me what being in love is! I don't ever regret any moment spent with you. Instead, I want to spend more time with you." Christain said, making Miriam blush more, she knew she was turning into a red tomato already.

She was still staring at Christain. The man she fell in love with two year ago, she had no idea if she could ever live without Christain, Miriam knew he was already part of her heart forever.

She was still in her thoughts when she looked down to notice Christian on his knees.

"Miriam Alexander, I don't have any regret and I know I wouldn't have. you were a God-sent! And I appreciate him every day for bringing such a huge gift to me,". He said through the Microphone. "Miriam Alexander, Would you do me the favor of being my wife?" Christain asked, making Miriam shocked as he went on his knees before making a ring visible. She could notice the large eyes that surrounded them. She could see the amazement in Christain's father's eyes, but couldn't detect the expression on that of his mother.

"Miriam, I'm still on my knees?" Christain muttered, bringing her back from her shock.

"Yes! I would marry you, Christian." Miriam said, Christian fixed the ring he held on her finger. He lifted her up before kissing her as cheering and clapping were heard from the crowd. "Thank you," Christain whispered close to her ear before slowly kissing her lips tenderly.

Christian had just dropped Miriam back at home. She entered the house before admiring the ring clutched to her fingers. She just couldn't believe that Christain had asked her to marry him. Who would have thought he would make such an announcement at such an expensive gathering.

"When did you get back?" The voice of her sister Eleanor echoed, making Miriam turn to give her a huge grin. "You won't believe what happened at the party Eleanor," Miriam let out happily.

"What? Tell me," Eleanor said, taking a seat as Miriam sat down beside her.

Miriam said nothing more as she put her hands forward displaying the expensive-looking ring. Eleanor slowly held onto her sister's hand before staring back at her in gloominess. "What happened? You don't peek happy," Miriam let out.

"Uhmm," Eleanor said, rubbing the side of her neck.

"What is it? It seems like you aren't happy with the news!" Miriam said.

"I just feel sad because of how that family treats you because of our poor status. The material difference is very much distance from each other, and if you get married to him! It means you would start living with him right?" Eleanor asked while her sister nodded.

"I know that you care about me so much but I love Christian and I want to spend my whole life waking up next to him," Miriam muttered.

"I understand all that Miriam but who would be in support of such marriage? I'm only concerned about you, I know his parents would think you are after their money rather than you love their son wholeheartedly, trust me." Eleanor let out.

"What if things get hard and Christian can't keep up? I mean, his parents might not accept or treat you right because you are just a poor girl!" Eleanor let out worriedly.

"Eleanor, I honestly don't think that is something they can do! Even if we are poor, I know that they would accept us and his parents are kind too!" Miriam said.

"Christian isn't like that and you can tell right?" Miriam uttered, Eleanor gave her a nodding smile before pulling her into a hug.

"Congrat, you have grown up so fast," Eleanor said, kissing the top of her sister's head.

******

"Congrats son," Christain's Father muttered heartily before patting his son on the shoulders "Common Christian, why did you have to embarrass our family publicly?" His mother asked furiously "I don't understand what you mean Mother," Christain asked.

"I don't know what you were thinking but why did you suddenly propose to that poor girl? Do you have to go public with the announcement that you want to marry that girl?" his mother asked yet again.

"Mother, I love Miriam, and letting the world know about it isn't a bad idea." He replied.

"You love her? Are you insane? There are a thousand prestigious and nice girls out there, why settle for a girl who only loves you for your money?" His mother inquired, panting hard.

"You know what? I only agreed for your relationship with that girl because I thought that you won't take her seriously. For crying out loud. She is just a girl who works in the market as a vendor." Monica yelled.

"My son, you can do better than this. Why don't you wake up? Why don't you just patch things up with your ex-girlfriend Lara? She should be the one you should be proposing to and getting married to!" Monica yelled out furiously.

"She is the right one for you and she comes from a wealthy family!" Monica added.

"Lara? Mom, Lara and I are history! You and I know that she was the one who broke up with me, why on earth are you dragging her into this? Don't you get it that Miriam is the one I love and marry?" Christain told firmly.

"No way!" Monica blurted out with a loud voice.

"I think that's enough Monica, I believe being happy for our son isn't hard." Christain's father chipped in.

"Robert, you know that I won't even allow this or allow Miriam to step foot into this house, do you understand?" Monica asked with a raised voice.

"What's wrong with you? You know that your son is a grown up, you should let him decide for himself! I'm sure that he can tell between the good and the bad things. If he chose to marry Miriam, let it be!" Robert told her firmly.

"Mother, I respect and adore you but I wouldn't allow you to speak such a way about the woman I love, it's my final decision and you can't do anything about it," Christain made clear.

"I'm your mother Christian, I know that girl doesn't deserve you," his mother let out yet again.

"I'm not disputing the fact that you ain't my mother. Talking about who deserves one another, I think Miriam doesn't deserve a person like me, mother. Miriam is a definition of beauty and brains mother and all men would kill to be with her." He muttered.

"Nonsense Christian. Why don't you talk to your son," Christain's mother let out to her husband.

"This is the first and last time I hear you speak this way about Miriam like that. Why don't you just respect our son's decision and be happy for him? The young man wants our support and how hard can that be Monica?" Christain's dad let out.

"If this is what our son wants, let it be, and don't interfere! Moreover, you're not the one he is getting married to, don't force what you want" Christain's dad finally said to his wife.

Her face scrunched in a frown, she stared at the face of her son and husband before leaving angrily.

"Thank you for the support dad," Christian said with a smile before hugging him.

THE NEXT DAY

The next day, Christain had picked Miriam up. He had wanted their wedding to be grand and something that should be known by everybody in the country.

"What are we going to be doing here?" Miriam asked, Christian's hands held her waist as they walked inside the Robert mansion.

"Uhmmm, it's normal for every wedding to have a wedding planner! I have invited one so you could tell her how you want the wedding to look like. You know that I can't wait for us to get married!" Christian explained and that had ignited a chuckle from Miriam.

"Do we have to go this big for the wedding? A simple wedding with all our loved ones is enough," Miriam let out.

Christian was about to reply but his mother had approached them.

"Hello," she said, staring at Miriam.

"Well, hello Ma, how are you doing?" She asked with a smile but Christians mother ignored her greeting before striding towards her son.

"Thank God you are back, do you have any idea of who is back to see you?" His mother asked.

"A special person to your heart is here Christian," his mother let out not minding the fact that Miriam was present and listening.

"Mother, there is nobody special to my heart other than Miriam," Christian said, ignoring his mother's words.

He held Miriam's hands to leave but stopped on his track when he noticed his sexy ex-girlfriend present in his house. She wore a body-hugging skirt and a crop top that pushed her boobs, her high heels clicking to the floor was visible to the ear.

"Lara?" He muttered a little shocked.

"What are you doing here?" He asked.

Miriam stared at the lady before glaring back at Christain.

Miriam wondered what connection they had with each other until she noticed the Lady called Lara striding towards Christain, Miriam was a bit hurt when Lara hugged Christain tightly.

Christain removed Lara's wrapped hands on his neck away before giving his mother a stern look. Lara tried to wrap her hands around him again but he took a step back before she could.

"What are you doing here?" Christian asked again.

"Why, is that what you are going to ask me after five good years of not seeing each other? Can't I come here any longer?" She asked.

"Excuse me but I didn't mean it that way but you could have let me know," Christain insisted.

"I heard from Aunt Monica that you were planning on tying the knot. I wouldn't miss that for anything so I rushed her at once!" Lara responded.

"Your mom said that it was okay that I live here. I thought I was always welcomed here? I missed you so much Christain and I was thinking we could still ignite the good old times," Lara said touching the side of his cheeks before turning to stare at Miriam who had been staring at all the drama that had been displaying right in front of her.

"Wait, you're Miriam right?" Lara asked but Miriam said nothing as her face was replenished with humiliation.

"You are beautiful! I have heard a lot about you, it's nice to finally meet you. I'm Lara, Christain's ex-girlfriend," Lara said before inching towards Miriam to place a peck on each side of her cheeks.

She engulfed her into a hug before pulling away. Miriam glared at Lara one last time before running out of the house.

How could she ever think she could match up to Christain's standard? By mare looking at Lara, Miriam knew she was the complete opposite of the sort of girl Christain would want to end up with.
