ALPHA'S HATED MATE
Santiago’s POV I haven’t seen Adrian all day and he hasn’t returned any of my calls and text messages which could only mean one thing, he is in one of his little moods and wants no one to disturb him. He seems to be going through a rough patch lately, he is always in a bad mood which is not new for Adrian he gets pissed off very easily but this is different. I’ve seen him and whatever he is going through he doesn’t know how to fix it and he won’t ask for help. Sitting here in the kitchen with Mirabelle and Racheal I can’t help but worry about him. Adrian knows how to run a pack with ease. He could kill someone with his bare hands faster than anyone I know and taking care of his little sister and pack that he can do but manage his emotions? No Adrian has no clue and whatever is bothering him right now is an emotional matter and if he doesn’t fix it real soon I will be cleaning up way too many bodies for my liking and he- “Tiago, Why didn’t you guys pick us today?” My little sister, Racheal cuts through my thoughts. “I know right I’ve been praying for that ever since the incident with Raquel. She thinks we’re good but I can't be with her.” Belle snickers. Adrian and I have different views on how to protect our sisters, I find it effective to let Racheal learn from experience because she is stubborn but Adrian won’t let Mirabelle learn anything by experience he will just tell it to her and she’ll think he’s overreacting and rebel against him, because it’s what she does, no harm no problem that’s their motto. Racheal pauses, setting her spoon down. “Hey where is Adrian?” “Yea where is he? He's acting strange, I mean he is always serious but today he seems extra pissed. Who took his toys away.” Belle frowns, her tone suggests she’s humoured but she’s seriously worried about him and so am I. “I don’t know Moon.” I truthfully say, “Let me go and see what he’s up to. I am not in the mood to dispose of any more bodies than I have today.” “Wait bodies? Who the fuck did he kill? ” Belle hisses. “Nobody that didn’t deserve it but his killing spree might get out of hand you know how he gets when he is this angry.” I tell her getting up. The first place I look for Adrian is where he is. I can tell by the piercing screams and plea’s echoing the dungeon that he has lost it. The smell of blood lingering in the place gets stronger and stronger as I walk further in. I pass the cells and there he is, No shirt and combat boots on his feet, mercilessly taking a swing at one of the warrior’s from Alpha Vinny’s pack. The man just stared at his sister for two minutes and now he has him captive. I have tried to vouch for his release but Adrian and his ‘instincts’ decided he had the worst intentions with her and since Alpha Vinny worships Adrian, he let him have his way, they all do. “That’s enough!” I yell, but my voice goes unheard and I watch him, he needs to get this out of his system. He continues to hit the man not even when his pleading stops and his cries die out does he stop hitting him. When the man crashes to the floor next to Adrian’s feet, that’s when he stops. Judging by the blood on Adrian, you’d think he too is hurt but I know him well enough to know that’s not his blood except the one on his knuckles. When he notices the man is dead, he looks between the body and me. “What was that?”“What was what?” He growls. “All he did was stare at Belle and you brought him in. You said you just wanted to scare him, well you killed him.” I say gesturing to the dead body at his feet. He runs a hand through his messy hair, “Santiago I –”“No, no, what you are is out of control. What is going on with you?” I ask calmly. He grabs his shirt off the floor. “Nothing, just get rid of him.” He tells the guard, referring to the body. Wiping his hands clean he leaves. Just great, it is time to face the consequences there’s none. Well at least he didn’t zone out, he was conscious of his actions. I give him time to wash off the blood before I follow him to his room. When I get there, he’s done and changed. “What’s going on with you?”“Let it go, there is nothing going on.” He growls. I toss myself on his bed, resting on my elbows, “Let it go? You have been acting strange since the party, that’s three weeks now. And you just keep getting worse than you already are, and that day we went to pick Belle and Rae, all color drained from your face. You looked pale for a moment. I didn’t want to say anything but since you won’t talk to me about it, I am here to ask.” “Ahh!” He screams, throwing his phone to the wall, we both watch it land, broken into pieces. “Hunter is driving me crazy.”“What’s up with your wolf now?” I snort. “He wants his mate.” Is that all? Honestly, Adrian and his Wolf are the worst match, they're not exactly alike, and his Wolf is strong enough to overpower him most times. “That’s nothing new there is nothing we can do. We have gone to way too many places and we haven’t encountered her yet. I mean I get why my Wolf would be mad because I’ve met my mate but I let her go away but you, I mean it’s not like you’ve met her.” He doesn’t give me an answer, instead he swipes his nose and shakes his head, now avoiding eye contact with me. I finally sat up, “It’s not like you know where she’s at right? Adrian, I am asking you a question!”He shakes his head, “No. I don’t know where she is.” “You are lying to me Adrian.” “I only met her okay! Is that what you want to hear?” He admit’s. kicked my feet to the ground, my jaw dropping to the floor. “You met your mate and didn’t tell me? You didn’t brag, are you freaking kidding me?!” “There is nothing to brag about.” He snaps, grumpy as always. I smile at him. “Who is she?” Ready to burst with excitement. Adrian needs his mate more than anyone I know, him and his Wolf both need her. He walks away, leaving me hanging just when I think he is exiting, he closes the door. “Do you remember the girl from the other day? At Winter Bloom Academy, the one we found in the principal’s office the scared little girl in the hallway?” I pause, recalling the memory and when it clicks, I nod. “Yes, I said I wish Belle and Racheal were like her so we wouldn’t have to worry much but you’re going in circles what does she have to do with this?” He clenches his teeth, so tight I think they might crack. “It’s her. That pathetic little girl is the one that has me this fucked up.” “You’re joking?” I chuckle. He glares at me and I know at that moment, he isn’t joking, he is dead serious. My mouth comes to my hand and I shake my head, now I understand why he has been so pissed off lately. He never wanted a mate and if he did get one he hoped for the opposite of her. Silence consumes us both, I take a seat and so does he, we don’t say a word to each other … “So when are you bringing her home?” I break the silence. “What?”“When will you bring our Luna home?” He shakes his head, a finger up at me, “No, no she is not my Luna.” “But she’s your mate.”“There sure as hell might be some mistake. What use do I have for her? You saw her tremble over lord knows what highschool brat. I am an Alpha, I run the most feared pack in the world and you think I will have her for a Luna?” “You don’t have a choice, she is your mate.” “Man don’t say that again I don’t need a mate much less her.”“What about the mate bond?”“I don’t believe in that Mumbo-Jumbo crap and I am not the mate type, I don’t need one I am a lone wolf I ride alone. I don’t need a Luna. ” “Yet your Wolf needs her, you can deny she’s your mate all you want but the truth won’t change she’s your mate and you won’t be at peace with your Wolf when she’s away.” I shrug. At this point I don’t care how annoyed he is, I just want him to hear the truth. Seeing that he won’t listen, I guess there is but one thing I can do to persuade him now. “Okay have it your way, I will call mother and tell her that you, her Son, found your mate and won’t bring her home.” I threatened. “Okay, even if I wanted to bring her here I wouldn’t.”I refuse to take a no, he needs a Luna. “Why not?”“Dude I can’t have her for a Luna you’ve seen that little girl.” I roll my eyes at him, almost laughing, “If your mate hurts you hurt too.” “Quit calling her my mate!” He snaps. “I have my finger on mother’s phone number. Should I call her right now?” He stares at me blankly and dial her number, clearly he thought I was bluffing. “Hear that? It’s ringing..” I chuckle. He snatches my phone and cuts the call. “Find out everything about that girl!” He snarls. “If only they knew the Alpha is afraid of his mom.” I burst out laughing. “Just do what you have to do and get back to me when you’re done. Nobody else should know Santiago, you hear me? Nobody.” He warns.ALPHA'S HATED MATE Camilla’s POV I’ve been going to school for the past week and it actually wasn’t so bad. Raquel almost drowned me in the pool because I can’t swim and she also almost left me naked in front of the whole damn school and oh yes, how can I forget why she is torturing me, it’s because she blamed me for Mikel breaking up with her so she put fish blood on my chair so that when I got up it would look like I had my period…oh wait did I say wasn’t so bad I meant was so bad. Yesterday there was a fish blood incident and today I didn’t go to school because I felt so embarrassed. I faked being sick so I could stay home and it worked a little too well. The doctor said I should stay home a few days in case it’s something serious. So right now, I am with Arielle and her friends from the pack by the table having snac
ALPHA'S HATED MATE Mirabelle’s POV I haven’t skipped school in a week, I’ve been going nonstop and usually I skip school two times a week because Adrian is usually occupied but these days he drops us on time and picks us on time.Today, I had a maths test today and I think I failed again. The nice girl who sits next to me didn’t come. I don't even know her name. Everyone calls her the gargoyle or four eyes, which I don’t feel comfortable addressing her as. I asked Mrs Vanderbilt how we could have a test when our classmate was upset, I was sounding concerned but really I would do anything just to get out of the test but Mrs Vanderbilt said she wasn’t coming and even if she missed one test it wouldn’t affect her grades or her performance on her final exams and that she appreciates my concern for someone that isn’t my ‘groupie’ I was offended and a
ALPHAS HATED MATE Santiago's POV When I dropped off the girls, I took some time to go run a few errands before I went back to the pack house. When I arrive a second time, I look for him in his bedroom but he isn't there so I look for him in his other room, where I do find him. What I didn't anticipate was to see him with his hand in between the legs of one of the girls from a rival pack.I clear my throat and he turns his attention to me.“Ever heard of knocking?” He roars.“Get rid of her.” I announce, referring to the girl on his bed.“You heard him darling.” he notifies her.She bows her head and leaves us, very obedient. “What the fuck is wrong with you man you interrupted me.” “With what that skinny bimbo, man don't you have taste in women anymore?”He gestures to the door, “That's
“I think I will enjoy getting to know this one.” I laugh. Anyone pissing Adrian this much is worth gold.“A human with wolf blood? Shoot me.”“Come on, lighten up.”“Santiago you don’t tell me what to do I tell everyone what to do not the other way round.”I chuckle, “I’m not everyone, I’m Santiago and you don't play big bad Alpha with me. I know you inside out.”“You know what I mean.” He snorts “Where do you want her?”He pauses looking over his shoulder, “In the trash.” He deadpans, his answer is instant as if he was waiting on me to ask him just that. “I don’t care where you put her. ” “Well then looks like I’m putting her in an uber and asking Alpha Ryan to receive her at the gates of his pack.” “Dont tempt me Santiago.”We f
ALPHA'S HATED MATE Camilla’s POV I don’t know how long I’ve been sleeping but each time I tried to open my eyes, they fell shut again, and to sleep I wandered up until now. I can move my body, but barely, sitting up on the soft mattress which smells nothing like mine, I take a look at the room nothing is familiar the walls are grey and pink as if someone was painting over the pink and they failed to complete it, it’s spacious and it smells like bubblegum in here, the scent is flaring up my nostrils causing my head to hurt even more.Instinctively I get out of bed and try to open the door. I try twice before realising it’s locked, I call out to Arielle three times with no response, not even the sound of someone passing by hauls the air that’s when panic sets in I can’t take it I seem to be running out of air, my lungs are desperate for every breath that I take, when I’m scare
ALPHA'S HATED MATE Adrian's POVI couldn't sleep at all, Mirabelle and Racheal fell asleep and I kept watch, Santiago had also gone to bed but found me awake around 7am, he told me to go to bed which I did, for about three hours I slept and my sleep wasn't a place of rest it crawled from nightmare to nightmare. I hate that Mirabelle makes it hard to protect her when she knows exactly why I'm so hard on her.By the time I woke up, Racheal and Mirabelle were awake, they'd had breakfast and that meant I could nag them or punish them, whichever came first. I wasn't going to tell Mom and Mother about what happened to the girls, but I did tell my brother Martin his take on the whole thing was to punish them as Alpha not as their brother.I called them and Santiago to my office, I barely said a word to them and they were already crying. “We have rules for a reason. Do you think we do it for fun or ju
Santiago runs his hand over his face, “I don’t care what you did to this boy, why did you have to do it in front of her.” “First of all, it is not my fault she's a weakling, second, you brought her here not me and how did I realize she was there?” I snort.“Don't shit me Adrian, I know you can smell her from miles away and you know Ryan said she's never seen even a chicken get killed and you just ripped a man's head off in front of her! You literally beheaded someone right there when she was watching do you know what you could do to her?” He sneer's. I take a short pause and sigh, “I still don't see how this is a problem.” I tell him, because honestly I don't, I can't pretend to be a saint for her.“You probably traumatised her; she's scared of you.”His response has me grinning, “Good, then she'll stay away.”“That
ALPHA'S HATED MATE. Mirabelle’s POV.Four days post Trey’s birthday party and I’m still somewhere shaken. I haven’t been to school yet. I stayed back yesterday and so did Racheal. We've been confined to our rooms thanks to our behaviour. When I asked Santiago what Adrian did to Xander, he said he took care of it, which is code for Xander having an exceedingly painful death such that in his next life, he will want to be born in a tree in the Sahara or in the rain forest just to be safe from Adrian’s wrath. My cousin Molly with whom I attend Winter Bloom Academy came over yesterday and told me many came out to say Xander raped them and the one’s who were with him willingly said he would ask them to act like they didn’t want it but eventually give in.He was a sick bastard and whatever death Adrian bestowed upon him was probably how he was destined
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
