Alpha's Hated Mate Santiago's POV The Camilla and Adrian drama is draining for all involved. The moment we walked in here, he could smell her, I spent half the time since we got here restraining him from going anywhere near her but fuck, Terrence did it. I've been watching them for awhile now, Mirabelle is somewhere meeting Rachel's plaything. Molly is on her phone building her brand as she calls it and I have a front roll seat to Adrian and Camilla. Everyone is starting to notice what's going on with them, wherever Camilla goes, Adrian follows like a lost puppy. I enjoy the sight of him begging for a conversation with her, it's quite fulfilling but don't get me wrong, Adrian is my brother and my best friend but Camilla is like a sister too. I am not on either side of this fucked up drama, I'm on both sides, I want what's best for both of them. Camilla and Adrian are by the rooms upstairs, I don't know what he's saying to her but she's crying now. I see Alpha Ryan walking
****** An hour with the veterans and ive heard an earful Michelle was butting heads with Ashanti. Ashanti is clearly the better replacement version of Michelle back at Dark Moon which explains why she hasn't been home in year's. Being cooped up with each other here is making everyone lose it. Molly has made friends with Tiana, and I'm not surprised, her personality is lovable but alarming. I sometimes wonder if seeing Tiana doesn't remind Camilla too much of her late twin but it seems they're okay. It's been a long night for me, this is the second party I'm attending tonight. I'm about to tell Adrian to give up when Camilla opens her eyes. Adrian and Ryan both rush to her, each on either side of the bed. “Princess.” They both say as they turn to look at each other before looking back at Camilla. Camilla is looking around the room when she sits up. She mumbles something under her breath stretching her neck. Her hand goes to where Adrian's mark now resides, she rubs her hand
Alpha's Hated Mate. Adrian's POV. When I saw Camilla that night, everything in me awakened. She looked beautiful, the dress she wore looked like it was tailored just for her, I noticed another girl wearing the same dress but she didn't look anywhere near as good as Camilla. The dress looked like she put so much effort into picking it but that's not her, Camilla doesn't spend time selecting her clothes and she effortlessly looks good in everything she wears. When Santiago told me Camilla was gone, I was losing it but I wouldn't admit it because my ego would have been too bruised. Angel lasted one day in my bed before I kicked her to the curve, the day Camilla left was the last day I was with her. I left her half near dead from how hard I fucked her. I wanted to run to Camilla but I couldn't, I was fine just seeing her once or twice a week when I took the girl's to school but after their last exam, I found myself losing it even more. I tried to talk to her but she wouldn't
***** Camilla walks into the lounge with her head held high, this is the one change I've loved about her, ignoring me not so much. She's wearing loose jeans and a pink crop top, I can see right through the material. I flicker my gaze from her chest to her face, watching her as she carefully chooses where to sit. She settles on the chair opposite me, putting just enough space between us. Her hair is in a mess, half curls and half straightened. The straightened half looks long, it falls past her collar bone, long enough to wrap around my hand. No Adrian, Focus! I clear my throat, “Mia.” She peers at me through her ultramarine eyes, the purple shining through today. “Just because I'm here doesn't mean I accept your apology.” She whispers almost to herself. I nod, I see why she wouldn't forgive me but I just need one chance to show her I've changed. “Let me show..” She lets out a snort, “Don't. Stop right there, you don't have to show me anything. You already got
Alphas Hated Mate. Camilla's POV Forgiveness.I've never had trouble with forgiving people, maybe because I crave it for my past actions. I don't regret most of them and I can justify each and every one but I feel I should seek forgiveness for them so I take whatever pain is handed to me as atonement. When I went back home, my mother had the reaction I presumed she would give. "My little mermaid, what happened to your hair?" She asked with an unhappy face. I simply shrugged and she nodded, giving me a simple smile. I assured her I would grow my hair long once again and only she would cut it. That earned me a smile from her, as well as the fact that I donated the hair that I had cut months ago. None of my parents were shocked I was with Adrian, except my mom who faked a gasp and said, "Nice, a princess deserves no less." I smiled at her statement, Dad was happy but asked that I make him a promise. I didn't think twice before promising him as I swore on my life, it won't
Soon he will go back to his mate and I'll be stuck here with mine. I want to kiss him but it would be disrespectful to Adrian as Alpha, kissing another man in his house. I toss the lid he placed in my hand and use the now vacant hand to caress Clifford's arm with a grin. “I love that you always ask.” I whisper, “But you can't kiss me here.” “Why?” He breathes.The sound of someone clearing their throat and a growl echoes the room. I know who it is before I turn to look, which I don't. “That's why.” I say backing away from him, but staying within arms reach. Now I take a look at the owner of the growl and the throat cleared. It's Santiago and Adrian, the lid I threw landed at Adrian's feet. I don't know why I didn't hear or smell them as they entered but fuck, Santiago is holding Adrian's arm. When my eyes trail to him questionably, he released Adrian. They both come further in, Clifford is holding himself pretty well for someone who just met Adrian at his least possible best. Both
I get off my knees and reach under my dress, I tug on the waistband of my panties as I watch him watch me. When they drop to my feet, I step out of them and pick them up. Adrian thinks he's a goddamn God and that he is but fuck him, this was my revenge. I grab his right hand and place my damp thong in his hand. His gazes darts from the panties back to me and I flash him a smile, “Seems you were born to soak my panties.” Just like that, I walk out. Leaving him jaw dropped and contemplating so many decisions. ***** When I left Adrian in my room yesterday I felt weird and I don't mean my scalp was hurting from the hair pulling, it was a gust of heat. It flashed over me so fast but I felt it, it made me scream because it felt like I was in hell for a second. I cleaned my face in one of the bathrooms before I returned downstairs, without my panties. I felt different without them but I didn't mind the feeling much. My cheap flowers as Adrian proclaimed are in a vase across the room
He gently holds me up against his cold chest, the feel of him against my back sends shivers down my spine to where my toes exist, I swallow a moan that almost leaves my parted lips. “How do you feel now kiddo?” He asks, her tone is proposing she is amused at the scene of me half naked, against Adrians bare chest. “Better,” I tell her, pushing back harder into Adrian's chest. Michelle smirks, “I see, so I'm right.”Adrian places a kiss on the top of my head, his arms holding me steady against him. I don't feel like a camp fire has started within me, the heat has turned into a livable warmth. “What's wrong with her?” He asks. Michelle looks over the top of my head to eye Adrian. Confidence, I can barely look him in the eye when I talk to him but Michelle does it with ease, even when she was younger she'd look everyone dead in the eye and convey a piece of her mind. Mom called me her rebellion but it is more than that, it's confidence and courage. “This is nothing you two couldn
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
