ALPHA'S HATED MATE
Arielle’s POV. Six months pregnant and I miss my little baby, when she left, I couldn’t find much purpose. I didn’t realise Camilla held that big a place in my heart not even when I left my little brother years ago did I feel like this, she holds a place in my heart that I can’t give away and no one will ever be able to fill the emptiness I’ve been feeling without her near. I tried to reply to the message she sent a few weeks back but the messages just won’t get delivered. She was the first to tell I was pregnant, faster than Ryan could smell his child on me she did and she wasn’t wrong about Tamina either, she just didn’t know what the smell was or was she playing dumb like always? I remember being inconsolable for days, such that my pregnancy turned into a difficult one, I’m an inch away from a high risk pregnancyALPHA'S HATED MATE. Camilla’s POV. I hated leaving Dark Moon but I couldn’t stay could I? I mean I did have fun these past three days with the veterans, Beta Santiago called me once to check on me and that was it. Mirabelle and Racheal are constantly texting me in the group chat they added me to and I mute it the day they added me, it’s always intense in there.I got my hair done with Arielle and Ashanti yesterday at the salon. I got a trim because my hair grows long quickly and we also went shopping. I just got a few books that she had delivered to her. My hair is now blonde with pink highlights at the ends. The stylist said the dye goes out easily and washes out with the special shampoo I was given at the salon. I really wanted to visit Talitha before I left but I figured it wasn’t necessary because I carry her with me everywhere.Throughout the ride I thought abo
When the door of the car opens, I realise I've been set up. Curse Santiago for trying to play matchmaker with fire and ice. He's startled to see me. “Umm, San-santi.. Santiago said I -” ditching the words that I can't seem to voice out I shake my head and get out of the car in record time.“Get in.” He demands. Two little words holding all power over me, I get in and sit, putting on my seatbelt I tense in my seat.He starts driving soon as he connects his phone to the car. “You can breathe, I won't eat you.”“Mmm?” “You act like I'm going to murder you and hide your remains in my basement.” That's because you can or worse, but of course I don't say it to him, instead I keep my head to the window and my mouth shut as I watch the people and buildings as we drive by. Trying not to look at him or breathe too loudly.A song I’m familiar with, Hold on by Chord Ov
She scoots over to me and we go analyse the dresses together until we pick one that we both like, “What will you wear?” She doesn’t let me answer, she scrolls through her phone turning it to me, there’s a cute dress. “Hmm how about this little cut out dress? I can't wear it because I have to be covered completely in a loose ball gown like dress but after the ritual I can change.” I take a second to ponder over her question, “I don't know, I don't think-”“Belle, lets go.” Santiago, who I didn't see coming, taps the hood.“I will go with Cami and Adrian.” She smiles. He nods and walks away. A young lady runs up to him and he stops to shake her hand, making Mirabelle laugh. “I don’t know what women see in my brothers, especially Adrian. He is so bossy and egotistical.” She sneers, rolling her eyes.I don't give her a response because what I see in him even I can't
Alpha's Hated Mate Adrian’s POVI’ve been smelling Camilla all night so that means Michelle carried through with her promise but Camilla is nowhere to be seen. Mirabelle on the other hand I’ve seen three times, she’s checking in with me every hour. This is her fourth time checking in, I watch her smile at me and nod.“Moon!” Angel calls out to her, Mirabelle tries to ignore her but she yells twice more.“How can I help you Angel.” She snaps.Angel waves her rudeness off, smiling at her again, “Umm Trey wanted to see you earlier.”Belle nods, “Speaking of seeing, have you seen Camilla?” She tilts her head towards me. She told me Camilla was here tonight and that I had seen her but I can’t seem to recall.Angel’s smile fades as she looks at me, “Who is Camilla?”“My best friend. You should
“I will, you horrify me but I can run fast and far so you don't scare me anymore.”“I promise I won't scare you.” If she behaves that is.“Promise me?” She petitions.“Yes.” “Good.” She grins, the lights glimmering in her violet eyes.We head back to the celebration, Santiago is glued to his seat when I walk in with Camilla. “Hi.” she smiles sweetly at him and he reciprocates her smile. I take a seat and place Camilla next to me but she soon ditches her seat for my lap. She wraps her arms around my neck and rests her head on my shoulder. Feeling her breath so close to me has me tensed, I clear my throat and turn to Santiago. “Did you get the deal?” I ask him and he nods, chunking down his drink.Another one of my responsibilities, Mirabelle takes a seat next to Santiago and rests her head in his lap. “Santiag
ALPHA'S HATED MATE Camilla's POV Heavy, that's the only word I can find that is fitting enough to describe the weight above my head. Ryan always teased that my neck should be tired from carrying my head around because it carried so much information it must be heavy.Today that applies, but not because my head carries a lot of information. My eyes are not keen to see the world today, not that they've ever been but nonetheless. Mirabelle's ranting is bouncing off my eardrums, the only thing I've heard is. "Cami, okay? and Come on." for the past twenty or is it thirty minutes? I can't seem to keep track of time. I groan putting my pillow over my head to tune out Mirabelle but I'm futile in my attempt to do so. How did she even get in? I always lock my room from the inside so how did she make it here without me opening for -wait, now that I think of it, how did I get here? I try to wrap
“Drink some Lemon water, Santiago and I have work to do.” Alpha Adrian rises from his seat.“Actually, we did nothing today.” Santiago relaxes in his chair.“Oh, can you take us to see a movie then?”“I don't think so.” Alpha Adrian retorts.“But- Camilla would like to see the new movie.” Mirabelle pouts. “Okay, we will go.” “And have dinner?”“We can have dinner after the movie.” He pauses and looks at me. “Get some rest Mia.”My cheeks flare up with heat. He turns to Adrian and they both leave.“Get some rest Mia.” She mimics Adrian and I smack my head. “Stop.”“Are you kidding me, never do you know how long I've wanted to try this?” she laughs. “I just manipulated Adrian without even trying. What are you doing to my brother Camilla?&r
Alpha's Hated Mate Adrian's POVI spent my entire day thinking about Camilla, I wanted to know how she was doing with her first hangover but knowing she was with Mirabelle was enough to assure me she'd be alright.Mirabelle has taken a liking to Camilla more so than everyone else to the point where I found myself questioning her sexuality. I don't know what to do with Camilla, all I know is I am not the mate type nor am I the mate she deserves. She has such an innocence about life and a darkness within me is drawn to her glistening light. I can't seem to find out why that is. But I do know one thing, I shouldn't have kissed her, but I did and now I regret it, because I can't stop thinking about the taste of her lips, I now crave the feel of them more than I did previously. I would observe her from the shadows as she slept at night, peaceful which is something she c
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
