MATED TO THE STRONGEST ALPHA
Chapter Five

"What's going on, Riker!?"

My world was about to change.

I found myself in the dungeon with my arms chained to the wall.

"Shut up!" Riker sparked at me. "My plans have come to a halt!" "I no longer have any use for you."

"Plans? What plans?"

"I have no explanation for you."

My heart sank. I felt like I woke up from a good dream to a terrible nightmare.

"What do you mean?" "Why am I here, Riker? This joke isn't funny. Unchain me"

"Did you think I'd want anything to do with a wolf who can barely transform?" "Riker..."

"It's Alpha Riker to you. Then again, you're about to meet your end. I'll say it right now... I, Alpha Riker, denounce you as my Luna."

My heart sank even deeper. It felt like I was just plunged into the pits of despair as he said that.

What was going on currently? I had no idea what was happening, but the look in Riker's eyes said it all. He was serious. Of course, I knew that; he is my Alpha... or should I say was

What good was my life? What was the point in getting joy if it was only temporary? My mind was suddenly filled with a flurry of thoughts as I had zero comprehension of what was going on, but the look in Riker's eyes said it all: He didn't want me anymore; he just denounced me as his Luna. "I want to die." This was the next thing that came to mind.

I raised my head to meet Riker's gaze. My eyes were filled with tears.

"I want to die, but I'll do it on my terms." At this point, my head had already become blank.

Riker smirked. "Very well, I'm a generous man; I can do that much for you."

Riker unchained me and took me out of the city to the top of a cliff in an unknown place after a 2-hour drive. It was the dead of the night, everywhere was dark. "Have no fear, I'll know what to tell everyone," Riker smirked.

Riker turned his back and began to leave. "Riker? I thought you loved me; what is all this?" "I at least deserve an explanation, don't I?" The tears already welled up in my eyes began overflowing.

All I could do was watch him go; no responses were given to me. I was just left to myself.

I faced the cliff. Ready to take my final breath. Memories of my life flooded in my head. There was nothing but rejection.

If I go back to the pack, what will I tell Father and Lilith? That I'm so pathetic that an Alpha only became my mate because he had plans I know nothing of? There's no way I can tell them that. "Misery," I said. Yes. I'll be putting myself out of my misery.

I wasn't thinking straight, but I wanted to end this misery. I wanted to end my life by jumping off a cliff.

This was what Riker wanted. I loved him, to the point that I could fulfill his wish. He wanted me to die, and now I would make it true. I bet he would be happy when he gets the news that his pathetic, weak, and unwanted Luna is dead.

I wiped the tears from my eyes and walked straight to the edge. When I looked down, I saw how high this cliff was. There was nothing I could hear but the sound of water calling me to jump.

I closed my eyes and recalled every memory of my family. I am sorry, Father, for my selfish decision, but this is what Riker wants. Riker would replace another Luna, and I would soon be forgotten. No one would remember the weak, unwanted, and rejected Luna. I was not that important.

I opened my arms wide, and finally, the wind hugged me for the last time. I let out a heavy breath and opened my eyes wide.

I saw how beautiful the night sky was. I let my lips curve into a smile for one last time.

I might not say goodbye to them, but I let the wind tell them my decision. I let nature tell the not-so-interesting story of a girl who loved Alpha Riker, the powerful Alpha. "This may be the goodbye that no one hears."

I closed my eyes and jumped.

***

Riker's POV.

I dropped the weak girl off the top of a cliff. When I got home, I immediately went to my room and let my body rest in my soft bed. Blank ceilings appeared in my eyes. "I, Alpha Riker, denounce you as my Luna."

I heard again those words I said to that pathetic girl. Maybe from what I said, she would understand that I didn't like her. Even if she tried everything, I would never let a weak werewolf be my Luna.

Selene was weak. She failed to reach my expectations of girls. I did everything only for the sake of my plans. I tried my best to be as powerful as my father, and then the one that was supposed to be my Luna was a far cry from my mother's strength. That was unfair on my part. Some other girls had the power that would make all men turn. Those are the kind of girls I desire, not that weak werewolf. She was not that important, not even beautiful, to be recognized. I hated it when my mind kept reminding me of her.

I knew I had to put on a front, to lie to everyone that I had no idea where Selene disappeared to, and try to put on a front and seem extremely devastated. "What trouble this is going to be."

The sun rose and I knew it was time to begin my act. Not a single person knew of my plans, not even Dave.

I summoned Dave and ordered him to search the whole castle down to every nook and cranny. Selene had left a letter saying that she was going to leave the castle and end her life.

I showed Dave the forged letter, and he looked in disbelief. "Why would Luna do this? This makes absolutely no sense."

"I have no idea either; I'm just as shocked as you are," I responded. Of course, everything didn't make sense; it's just something I came up with on the spot. It wasn't carefully planned.

Dave left upon my command and assembled about half the pack and went on a search to look for Selene, but I knew there was no way he was going to replace her. After all, she must have gone back to her pack. If they dare come to me to make accusations, all I need to do is lay down fake evidence. I also got my pack with me who are devoted to me with all their minds.

I was almost confident that there was no way Selene would jump off that cliff and kill herself. I just wanted to get rid of her; I didn't want to take her life, but since she declared that she wanted to die, I thought it was just a cover-up for her to run away, and it was also what I wanted.

However, what was this string of disbelief tugging at my heart? "There is no way she would kill herself." I scoffed and laughed the thought off.
