Alpha’s Unwanted Mate: Born as My Sister’s Donor Novel – I stood there, my legs trembling, as Alpha Derek’s voice thundered through the room. “Tammy, your sister’s life is in your hands. Just one more bone marrow donation, and she’ll survive. How can you be so heartless and refuse to save her?” Heartless. He called me heartless. The man I’d once given my everything to now looked at me as though I were the enemy.
His eyes burned with fury, and I knew, in that moment, if tearing me apart could save Lillian, he wouldn’t hesitate. But Derek didn’t know the truth. He didn’t know that one more extraction would kill me. And what made it worse? If I died, Derek would die too. The memory of that fateful day years ago came rushing back—Derek, lying on the brink of death after a brutal rogue wolf attack. I had searched everywhere for a cure, exhausting every option until there was nothing left but a single, forbidden path: Eloise, the black witch.
Black witches were despised by werewolves for their opportunistic ways, profiting from chaos and despair. Yet their magic was undeniable. If one could offer a price high enough, they could grant any wish. For a month, I had knelt outside her lair, my knees raw and bleeding, begging her to save him. People called me foolish, warned me she was cruel, but I didn’t care. Derek was my Fate Mate. He was my everything. Finally, Eloise relented. “I’ll trade my life for his.” Eloise had laughed. “Foolish little wolf. Foolish love. Your life is worthless to me.
And for what? A male? Even if he dies, the Moon Goddess may still grant you another mate.” I shook my head. “I don’t want another. I want Derek Burke. No one else. Tell me what you want—anything. Just save him.” Her cold smile still haunts me. “Then trade me your wolf soul,” she said. “Of course, I’ll bind your life to your fated mate’s. If you survive, you both will. But remember my words—you won’t just live together; you’ll die together as well.” I exchanged a glance with my wolf, and without hesitation, I nodded. I was willing to do anything for him.
And now, 5 years later, that choice had brought me here, standing in this hospital room, staring into Derek’s eyes as he demanded more of me. I had endured countless bone marrow donations to save my sister. The repeated procedures had left my body ravaged, my organs failing. The doctors had warned me—one more extraction would be fatal. “Derek,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper, “I can’t survive another procedure. If I die, you’ll die too. Do you still want me to go through with it?” “Enough!” The sharp crack of Lillian’s slap stunned me.
she glaring at me with tears streaming down her face. “How dare you curse Derek like that?” Lillian shrieked, her face twisted with fury. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she fell to her knees, raising her trembling hands to the heavens. “Moon Goddess, if you can hear me, punish me for Tammy’s wicked words! Don’t let her venom harm Derek!” “Lillian, don’t say that,” Derek said, pulling her into his arms as though she were a fragile doll.
