Alpha's Hated Mate Emilath's POV Everyone is walking on eggshells since receiving the text blast from Beta a week ago telling us Alpha is coming back from the hospital with Karla and she's in a killing mood. I don't know if I'm suicidal, but I have been in her face more than I should be but the first time she noticed me screw up, she assigned Kendall and I a job. It was a simple job on my part really but for Kendall, not so much. I think everyone is going through a hard time, mostly those of us close to Karla. However, amidst our given task, Kendall and I managed to find the perpetrators that escaped with their lives from attacking Silverline. They lead me to the person who sold us out, and now, I have him locked up in the dungeon underground also known as 'hell'. The dungeon is where Alpha Camilla will punish the intruders, as well as the person who sold us out. Kendall and a few other warriors are watching them while I go to break the news to Alpha. I don't have
Alpha's Hated Mate Mirabelle's POV I've been wanting to see my mother since she returned home a few months ago and for the last two months, Camilla has been forcing me to go and see her. Today I finally gave in. I woke early this morning, nervous to go but I had to, I had to see my friends and family, the friends that I used to hang out with when Camilla was with Adrian. I've been watching their social media through my ghost account but that's not enough, I need to see them in person. I wanted Camilla to come with me, but she won't step foot here, not only because she's pregnant with their Alpha's daughter but because of what their Alpha did to her. From the second I stepped foot here, people have been staring at me like they don't know me. I'm not planning on staying long, all I want is to say hello to mom, have a few words with her, and then I'll be gone. If I as much as make the mistake of staying here long, Camilla is going to overwork herself. She's not sup
Alpha's Hated Mate Camilla's POV I think I've been pregnant forever, secretly loving and hating it at the same time, there's no between in it, like this morning, I nearly peed myself, no not nearly, I'm certain I did. When I made it to the bathroom, my underwear was partially soaked in urine but then, it also has its perks. I know I can have whoever I want waiting on me hand and foot but this is nice, I don't have to ask them, they just do. Arielle came over this morning, leaving Liam with Tamina just so she could be here with me, rubbing my feet and belly in turn with Kingston. Nobody let's me do anything, I can't even carry my own plate of food anymore, whenever I'm seen with one, someone will carry it for me and give it back only when I'm sitting down. I enjoy the lazing around more than I'll admit to anyone, but I think Kingston knows it. The snitch, I still can't believe he called mom, aunt Amaya and Ryan when I killed Jebel. I don't remember all the detail
****** It's been minutes, perhaps hours but I feel like it's been days since I started pushing this baby out. I don't think she wants to come into this world, I don't blame her but it's hurting me, my throat is raw, my screams now hoarse. I just wanted to come not this, I hate Adrian, he did this to me. I take a deep breath, exhaling as I push but still, nothing.“You are doing so good Camilla,” Tee praises, for the hundredth time.“God I swear I will never have sex again, just take her out please.”“You're being lazy Bear, push her out, even thirteen year olds do it, you've got this, you can do it, come on.”“I hate him,” I cry out, squeezing her hand. “I hate Adrian!”“We all do honey, but push.” she counters. I do it, I push long and hard but the baby doesn't come out. Maya and Mirabelle switch places, with Mirabelle now in my view. “Baby,” Arielle begins. “You've got this.” I shake my head, opening my mouth to speak but I can't, I'm overthrown by a sneeze, my body relaxing.
Alpha's Hated Mate Kingston's POV The last two days have been eventful, and Camilla is missing it all. She's been sleeping since she gave birth to baby Arieya,(pronounced Are-ray-yeah) named by Tiana, Hades and I. Arielle insisted we give her a middle name to go with the beautiful name her mother picked for her. Tiana and Hades left that very day, and Today, he took her with him on a business trip, one that she didn't want to go on but Hades insisted on having her in sight all the time. Arieya is with her aunt Mirabelle, I haven't seen her in nearly four hours and I miss the little bundle of joy. She's an easy child, Arieya doesn't cry much and she sleeps all day. Karla and I were out at the hospital, getting a few scans done on her after the newly found activity she performed in an attempt to reach Camilla in time. For being such a good girl, I have Karla ice cream in bed, but it's been a minute since then and she's not touched it since. “I don't want ice cream any
Alpha's Hated Mate Camilla's POVSomething is ringing, rather than someone if I'm not mistaken. I recognize that piercing sound, even as I struggle to open my eyes, the cries becoming closer by the second, until I jerk up from the bed. My gaze shifts from right to left, there's a crib next to me. I peek into it, there's a baby in it, she's crying. I rub my eyes, looking at her, her cries are piercing my soul. " “Belle,” I attempt to call out unsuccessfully, my voice hoarse for some reason. I sit up, watching the crib once again and that's when it hits me, that's just a baby, that's the baby I had.“Lauriana,” I whisper to myself, peering at her as she cries. I want to pick her up, to calm her, but my hands are shaking, I'm terribly shaking, so much so that if I carry her, I'll drop her.My hand reaches out to touch her, “Shh.” I whisper, tapping her chest with it.The door squeals open, startling me. My hand withdrawals from her so fast, watching who it is. “Coming
*******“Hmph, Alpha,” Arielle calls out, getting a quicker reaction from me because I now respond quicker to Alpha than my actual name. “Can I have my baby now?” She asks, holding her hand's out. My gaze shifts from the baby to her empty arms, “Huh,” I ask, that one stubborn brain cell refusing to process the fact that I agreed to give her the baby, she saved the baby, she wanted her when I was too scared to have her, when I wanted to get rid of her. “The baby, remember you agreed to let her keep it instead of suffocating her with a pillow soon as she was born.”I choke, swallowing the huge lump that forms on my throat. I look at Arielle, dropping the paper and putting the baby in her arms. I feel empty again, I don't like this feeling, it's worse than when I left her father, it left a hole in my heart but I tossed it away. I don't know if I can fill the emptiness that giving Lauriana away to Arielle has left. “Thank you, I'll get going now but I'll come see you sometime this wee
Alpha's Hated Mate Two years Later. Santiago's POV My life is a mess, I thought I had full control of it, that was until Annalise showed up in the picture. Every day starts with thoughts of her and ends with those of her too. I've spent too much time thinking of her, observing her and pursuing her that I think I'm obsessing over her to the point where I need professional help. She can't stand, and it's disheartening to know she can barely pretend to like me for the sake of both our parents. Last year she graduated, an honors student and I must say, I have never been prouder of anyone in my life, Adrian excluded because he is whom I am most proud of in this life. On her graduation day, I didn't go. I declined the invitation, making an excuse because I didn't want to ruin her day for her but her father, a very convincing man, dragged me there. I, of course, excused myself shortly after extending my congratulations and presenting her my gift to wh
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
