The Rebirth of the Betrayed Alpha

The door creaks open and Alexandra enters the living room and bumps into Veronica sitting on the couch weeping bitterly. Glued to the ground, Alexandra doesn't move for a long moment, her eyes fixed intently on Veronica, her face becomes saddened, filled with emotions and she clears her throat, and moves closer to Veronica who was now gazing into her eyes.

"Mom, what are you doing here? Why are you crying? Shouldn't you be on that trip?" She asked, pretending to be concerned

Veronica glares at her, not falling for those deceitful lies. "Mind your own business"

"But Mom, I can't see you crying and walk past that will be so bad of me"

"Mind your own business, I said" Veronica wipes her tears but they kept pouring down

"You are the one who taught me to wash clothes, and dishes and do all the chores. There are things I wouldn't dare know if it weren't for you so what kind of daughter will I be if I see you crying and then decide to walk away"

"Daughter?" Veronica scoffs, enraged.noveldrama

"Am I not your daughter? I know we are not related by blood but I do consider you my mother, don't you consider me your daughter?"

"Have you lost your mind?"

"How?" Tears crawl up her eyes

"You are not my daughter Alexandra, you and I are nothing to each other. You mean nothing to me"

"Mom," she whispers, pretending to be hurt.

"Why? Did I hurt your esteem? Do you have one?"

"How can you say that to me after all we've been through? We live in the same house, cook from the same pot, share the same meal, and are from the same pack. Doesn't all that mean anything to you?"

"What will it mean for me?"

"I don't know, I thought maybe it means we are getting on that path of mother, daughter relationship"

Veronica chuckled. "Are you crazy? Have you lost your mind? Do I look like your mother?"

"No, you don't"

"Get out" Veronica states as tears brims down her cheeks.

Alexandra attempts to hold her arms but she quickly moves away from her like some plague.

"Stay away from me and let me be. Don't you get it"

"I won't mom. Family supports each other and when one is crying, the other person is crying as well, when one is not feeling good, the other person is not feeling good as well. They laugh together and cry together, that's what family is and you are my family"

"I'm not your family! What sort of support will a girl like you give me? What sort of prank are you playing?"

"I'm not playing at anything Mom, I'm just being concerned"

"Concerned? Stop trying to act like you care because I know that you don't! I can see right through those scheming eyes of yours. Those deceitful eyes bore holes through my skin every time I walk past you"

"Mom" Alexandra whispers, feigning to be hurt

"Stop calling me that!"

"If I don't get to call you Mom, What then should I call you?"

"Luna. I'm the Luna of this pack after all"

Alexandra tightens her fist, wishing she could laugh at her face. "You want me to address you as the Luna"

"Yes"

"That's a little too much, don't you think?"

"Is not, is perfect"

"I'm sorry but I can't address you in such a manner"

"Why?"

"It will create gossip around the pack and our pack members might begin to whisper of how I am being mistreated"

"Mistreated?" She scoffs

"Yes. Instead of Luna, why don't I call you Veronica instead"

Veronica's eyes widened. "Alexandra!"

"Why? Isn't that your name? And is much better, it won't create any rumors

People will think of our relationship as the formal kinda type"

Grabbing the troll pillow, Veronica throws it at Alexandra and she quickly grabs it.

"I'm sorry Mom, I made you angry when you are depressed"

"Depressed? Who told you I'm depressed?"

"I thought you were since you won't stop crying. By the way, what's bothering you that you have to weep so bitterly? Is it perhaps my absence? Don't worry, I will come and visit the Guerrero pack every time"

Veronica shakes her head unbelievably and wonders if Alexandra was alright. "Why will I miss you?"

"I thought you are already missing me"

"I'm not and won't"

"If it is not me you are missing and nothing happened at home, then why are you weeping your heart out?"

"Just leave me alone. Is that too much to ask?"

"When I wasn't feeling too well the other day, you didn't walk past me and you even made your breakfast. That concern moved me and I said to myself" "Mother is the kind of woman I want to look up to, she helped me out and I must return the favor"

"Cut the drama, I'm not buying it and the only reason I let you off the hook the last time was that I was running late from my trip"

"I don't know what to say than thank you"

"Just say nothing and go to your room. I want to be alone"

"So you could continue crying, honestly, what's going on? Did someone die?

Father, is he dead? Did you accidentally kill him? Was he cheating?"

"Alexandra!" Veronica yells, wondering what in the world was running through her mind.

"You don't have to be ashamed and just tell me. I can help you out"

"Ashamed? Why will I be ashamed and why will you help me out? Why should I accept help from you?"

"You don't have to be shy about it, you've been crying and I hate to see you hurt. You are pretty when you smile"

"So I'm ugly now, is that it?"

"Of course not, that's not what I'm saying. However, you look truly like a queen when you smile, tears are not meant for your eyes and face"

Veronica laughs, she sure knows how to use the lines to flatter someone but Veronica wasn't falling for it. It was pissing her off and she was this close to scolding Alexandra and giving her a piece of her mind
