Santiago's POV.When I saw Camilla I thought thank God because the search was over but it seems I couldn't be far from wrong. I let Adrian chase her while I finished up on my phone, stalking my mate like an obsessive lunatic. She still has the same boyfriend, her Instagram is filled with pictures of him, more so than her own. It enraged me but sometimes, you have to let things be especially when all memories are lost.It took me a while before I decided to follow them out the hallway and when I did, I couldn't find either of them, until I went outside. That's when I found Adrian, with no sign of Camilla. We've looked for her for awhile, with no success at all.“I think she's gone,” I tell him. “I can't smell her anywhere nearby.” “She must be hiding somewhere, she hasn't gone anywhere.” Adrian lets out, unable to accept the fact that he has lost her once again. That slap I witnessed proved she isn't just mad at him, she is done with him, all adoration she looked at him with has bee
Mirabelle's POVI led everyone to Silverline or as our new Alpha likes to call it, the devil's playground, to which I assume she's the devil?Oh well, whatever the case I'm proud of her. I have been wanting her to retaliate against people who talk her down for so long but never in a million years would I have envisioned her killing so many people. Nonetheless, I'm proud of her. Camilla saved many lives by taking those that hindered them from being free. Camilla not only handed me the map to Silverline but the plans for the entire pack too and I must say, she picked a good one.The pack is big, not as big as Dark Moon but bigger than Midnight Saints. The plans are exquisite, I'm sure Martin, my one sane brother would appreciate how the pack is planned. The area has been getting worked on for sixteen years and it's close to finished with more than enough space to spare. Getting to Silverline was fun, I got to know a few of the people and what their wolf form looks like. We travelled
“This will be neat too,” I frown. My hands crossed over my chest in an equally dramatic manner.Kingston smiles, he has a wonderful smile. The two dimples on either side of his face are enough to weaken every woman, he is undeniably handsome.I return his smile, shaking my head and gaze to Camilla. “Close your eyes baby,”Camilla narrows her eyebrows in confusion, I nod to affirm my sentence. “Belle, we have no time for this,” she sighs.I rolled my eyes at her, “Okay, Alpha Camilla, hold out your hand.” I tell her, and in response she stretches it out, no questions asked or eye rolling, no expression, nothing. I fold the keys into my hand, releasing them in her open hand. Her gaze flickers between me and the keys, making me snort out a laugh.“The keys to this heaven,” I tell her.“Hell you mean to say,” she counters. Her lips stretching into a dark grin, exceptionally identical to the smile Tiana wears all the time.“Well,” Kingston begin. His voice caught both mine and Camilla's at
(Two weeks later.) Camilla's POV Settling into Silverline has been quite the adventure, the place is growing on me. I love it, I've already found my favorite spots, I'm sure everyone has.Mirabelle likes to stay up on her balcony, watching the stars as if something they promised her will drop from the sky. I however keep to my bedroom most of the time, if not my office or the kitchen, licking on ice cubes to pass the time. I haven't been able to sleep soundly since we arrived here. The first night I stayed wide awake and earned myself a migraine that required me to get some rest. If I'm not on sleeping pills, sleep escapes me. I've tried to contact Tiana from my new phone with little and sometimes no success. Tee tells me she's on a trip, she'll be back soon and she swears she's not hunting down people or piling up bodies. Something about her not piling up bodies in some underground shaft screams hazard in my head. It's who we are, what we do to feel something, something diffe
I read my question out to her, letting her research it as I continue to type from where I left off last time. It takes her a minute before she gives up on helping me, not even google is of assistance to her assisting me.“So, Emily told me what Alpha asked her to do.” “And I suppose you did it for them?” I ask, my gaze still fixed on my computer.“Fuck no, I can't slaughter heads.” she argues, shaking against her pillow. “But, don't you think that's a little too extreme?”I halt, shifting my gaze to her. “No, Belle, it's necessary, all of it. They offended us and degraded us to nothing, I was simply going to sit back and mind my business but now I'm going after the crown.”Mirabelle's eyes widened, “You don't mean what I think you mean, right?” In response I nod, I'm not going to sit back and let entitled packs walk over me.“If we're not the best, then we're losers.” “Exactly, third place, fourth, or even second place isn't good enough. It's first loser, those positions are for th
Santiago's POVBegrudge. I never thought I'd get to this point, merely a second away from ordering a hit on the man dating my mate. If it weren't for Mom Ximena requesting to see me, I would have pressed send on that message to a trusted hitman in the area they're both in. I know my wildflower is going to find her way to me. My job has been to sit patiently, awaiting the day she graduates from the top of her architecture class and then, she'll be mine forever. I'm not against this arrangement, it's for the best. Once she had her wolf ripped from her, it was only plausible her father wiped all memories up until the moment it happened. The man deduced it would tame her but even without her memories, my little wildflower can't be tamed. I don't reckon if anguish and begrudge are the same but I feel the same if not more miserable than Adrian, the only difference between us is I can control my reactions, my appearances and he can't. Everyone can see how miserable he is without Camilla,
Alpha's Hated Mate Kingston's POV A month ago, I was miserable, the only element that brought light into my life, I had given her away. I felt Karla, as a girl needed a mother figure in her life so as to raise her in a luminous happy existence but I was wrong, she solely needs love. Brittany and I have never seen eye to eye, not only because of her sister but because of her seeing nothing wrong with her sister's past demeanor. Brittany, despite all her misjudgements loves Karla but, nobody loves my daughter more than I do. My daughter needs a parent who loves her and is there when she needs one, and I'm that parent for Karla, nothing matters more than she does. I just couldn't see it before, I noticed she felt like an outcast because she didn't have a mother so by giving her to Brittany for a trial, I thought I made the right decision for her.In a way it was, but Karla wasn't completely happy without me, I wish I had seen it earlier. But thanks to Camilla, I see it now and I'm
“Right, right.” I nod, “Where should I be?” I ask, pushing her buttons some more because I like the outcome everytime.“Ugh, what time does Karla get off school?”“Four pm,” I retort instantly.Camilla nods, taking a quick glance at her wrist watch before glaring at me with a threatening expression. The very one that has made so many strong men cower but I wave it off, pretending it doesn't affect me because I know she's harmless to me. “So,” She begins. “What is your ass still doing here, why are you leaving her at school longer? By the time you get there it'll be 4:10 or 4:20 to 25 pm.”“She'll be fine, it's just 10minutes.” I counter.“Ten minutes, do you know how much can happen in those minutes? Someone once got pushed so hard on the swing because they were three minutes late when picking her up, she fell hard and broke her leg. Stayed off school for a good month, and you're saying nothing much can happen to KK, alright bro that's your daughter and she got a smart ass mouth it's
Alpha's Hated Mate Camilla's POV Adrian stayed staring at me like he couldn't believe what's real and what's not just like I didn't. After a while he speaks. “How are you?” “I'll be fine soon as you stop looking at me like that.”"I'm sorry I haven't seen you like yourself in a long time." “Oh I missed you but Aunty Amaya…” I say looking done. “I missed you too.” he says, hugging me. “Why are you waking this late?” I say looking around the office with socks, loafers and junk food around the table. “I do most of my work at night because I hate going to an empty bed, without you there.” “Well you won't have to sleep alone ever again.” “I hope so.” he says, kissing me and I blush. The taste of whiskey on his lips is forever unmistakable. “Can I get you something to eat Sheryl said you didn't eat?” “Yea.” I say smiling. “Wait here,” he says, sitting me down in his chair. A few minutes later he returns with some food and I eat a little. Then
Alpha's Hated Mate Sheryl's POV Keeping Camilla locked wasn't easy on me. I'm a sucker for Camilla. I'd manage to keep my daughter locked but with Camilla something just happens to me guilt maybe or love whatever it is it makes my life a living hell. I took her breakfast to her and she refused to eat. I intended to keep her for a month but we couldn't let her go just yet. We had to be sure she was going to be herself and not relapse. Amaya holds a family photograph of Arieya as she points at the picture of the girl rocking a blue princess gown with a crown on her head. “And who is this?” Amaya began. “Are we really doing this again? I know what my daughter looked like at 7 and a ½ months.” Camilla brushes the exercise to the side. Her drowning eyes aren't helping, she lacked sleep all through the night as she stayed awake crying her heart out. I know she misses her family and love but we can't trust Camilla with the responsibility of being with herself. It's a
My memory hit when my gaze falls on the phone clutched on Arieya’s right hand. “What are you doing with Kendall's phone?” “I was talking to mommy on it and she said you call her.” Adrian and Santiago looked at me. Surely Arieya had an imaginary friend but she wasn't one to lie unless prompted by someone. Arieya's lips widened with a bright smile. “Call her.” I took my phone and called Sheryl. She picked up after 2 rings. “Sheryl?” “Beta hey I was wondering when you'd call?” Sheryl responds from the corner of her phone. I moved aside from everyone and finds a safe spot to investigate. “Arieya tells me you called her with Camilla.” “Yes we did, Camilla came around 2 days ago and she's been asking for Arieya.” Sheryl speaks like it wasn't a big deal. She must be kidding; she knew how strained and terrible things had been during Mia's absence why keep us in the dark on this little upliftment. “2 days... Does that mean she's okay now?” “We'll have to keep her her
Alpha's Hated Mate EPILOGUE Mirabelle's POV I watched Kyrie & Angel playing basketball, she's very horrible at it but Kyrie was having fun. King used to play with Karla and she was good but she wasn't warming up to Angel. She talked to her a little, just average interaction other than that she didn't want anything to do with her. She was heartbroken, to her Camilla was her mother and she wanted her to always be. Arieya sat with Karla on the swing they weren't playing, they just sat there watching the kids play. “Beta I'll see you later.” She said smiling. “Won’t you wait for your husband?” “No Santiago will be here any minute but I have to pick Anastasia from the airport.” I nodded and hugged her goodbye. Annalise and Santiago got married a few months after the accident that changed our lives. Silverline was dull and less lively without Camilla at first but soon things started looking up. I missed Camilla, well the sane Camilla. I still remember th
“I ask you now, in the presence of God and these people to declare your intention to enter into union with each other.” “Yes, priest.” Adrian and I both say. I can hear sobs and I prefer not to look at the people they belong to. Santiago takes Arieya and she complies. “Camilla Mia Burton, will you have Adrian Carter to be your husband to live together in holy marriage? Will you love him, comfort him, honor and keep him in sickness and in health, and forsaking all others to be faithful to him as long as you both shall live?” “I will.” I say. “Adrian Carter will you have Camilla Mia Burton to be your wife to live together in holy marriage will you love her comfort her honor her and keep her in sickness and in health forsaking all others be faithful to her as long as you both shall live?” “I will.” Adrian affirms. “Will the parents of Camilla and Adrian please stand?” The priest requests. I don't look but assume they stand because he continues. “The marriage of Adrian
Alpha's Hated Mate Camilla's POV I woke up next to flowers, beautiful red roses next to me and a box of chocolates aside. I tried to wrap my head around everything I was thinking of. I thought it was a dream but the bite marks on my thighs and tame soreness between my legs convinced me it was a reality. I couldn't believe so many things happened overnight from me poking my arms with a knife to Adrian punishing me for it. My life changed so fast I woke up single yesterday and went to bed as a fiancee who knows maybe tomorrow I'll wake up a wife unless I'm still dreaming. I quickly checked my hand and relaxed when I saw a ring. As I admire the beautiful diamond shining on my finger, my bedroom door opens wide and Arieya, Karla, Stacey & Zuri walk in; they're dressed in gorgeous little elegant dresses. “Oh my God.” I breathe out. The mother fucker meant every single fucking thing he said. “I feel stupid pretty.” Arieya giggles.I gulped, flickering to everyone
Alpha's Hated Mate Adrian's pov I went upstairs to look for Camilla in her room. I knocked on her door and she didn't respond but it was slightly open so I went in. “Mia.” I said under my breath when I saw her sitting at the edge of the bed with her eyes closed. Her bed had files on it and two laptops. What caught my eye was the pocket knife beside her with blood stains. I scanned her body and my eyes landed on her arm where I saw dried blood and fresh blood rolling down her arm. “Oh God Mia what have you done?”She opens her eyes and closes them before opening her eyes again today. “Adrian.” she whispered softly. “What are you doing to yourself baby?” I cried. “Nothing.” She shakes her head in denial but I'm no fool to see the evil she subjected her poor self. “The little pocket knife stained with blood tells me a different story.” “I wasn't trying to kill myself.” Camilla says laughing. “I know. You were just trying to feel.” “Yes now what are you doin
Alpha's Hated Mate Santiago's Pov The day we've been waiting on is coming. Less than 48 hours, I'll see my Best friend get married. I've waited for this day since I met Camilla. I thought they'd end at mating but no Adrian wants to fulfil every desire she had. I glance at my wristwatch for the umpteenth time. “Adrian you're not going to make it to Silverline on time.”Adrian kept pacing around fisting on his hair with gritted teeth. “I will give me a minute.” “You know normally women are the ones that get cold feet but look at you my friend you're the one getting cold feet.” He stopped. “I don't know man, I must have some food poisoning.” “Food poisoning no bruh you've had this for over a week you're acting like you're pregnant.” I say laughing. “So glad I'm not a woman because this is hectic.” “But honestly your cold feet are getting out of control.” I say with a serious tone. “I just can't wait to marry Mia.” I continue to scroll through an information page
Alpha's Hated Mate Amaya's pov I just received some mail when I was in my office with Sheryl. She hasn't eaten in days and she's worried about Camilla but what can we do about it? Life happens and there's nothing we can do about it, especially since we want her to be happy till the end of her time on this earth. I opened the one from Silverline. “Look, it's finally here.”SheryI waves me off refusing to check out the content. “I can't do this.” “You just have to.” I say clearing my throat so I can read the wedding invite. "Your Highness Princess Amaya Royal, Alpha Adrian Carter of Golden Hunters and Alpha Camilla Burton (Phoenix Alpha) of Silverline request your presence at their wedding; they urge you to join them in celebrating their union on the 18th of September." "That's next week.” Sheryl says, looking surprised, her eyes popping. “Yes, aren't you happy?” “I am more than happy for her but I wish…” she pauses. "No Sheryl.” I say cutting her off. “Amay
