ALPHA'S HATED MATE CHAPTER ONE Camilla’s POV My heart is racing and for some reason I’m biting on my tongue. I’m always anxious but today is different and he knows it. He can see me biting my tongue. He knows how important this is for both of us. Crossing my hands behind my back I pull my lips into a pout, if there is one thing I know he can’t resist it’s my puppy eyes. His response was delayed, extremely calculated but I know what it is before he says it. He sighs and I know what the answer is, undoubtedly a yes.“Fine Milla. You can have whatever you want.” He says scratching the back of his head. I don’t think before I fling my arms around him and he embrace
ALPHA'S HATED MATE CHAPTER TWO Adrian’s POV Six hours, that’s how long I’ve been sorting out papers and filing with the help of my Beta who also happens to be my best friend, Santiago Rodriguez.Scanning through the file on my desk, I chuckle, Alpha Jacob simply couldn’t have thought I would agree to the terms and conditions of this contract or is he this stupid?Narrowing his eyes he asks, ”So then, their third request has been refuted?” “I think that goes without saying.”He rolls his eyes, his fist colliding with the desk. “Adrian we need that entire land.” He protests. Ah, I don’t know why he always goes against me but stands beside me when we’re out there in t
******* We make our way inside the birthday or inauguration ceremony. Is it? I don’t know what they’re calling this joint celebration. Santiago looks around “Hmm masquerade theme…why wasn’t I told?” I turned to face him, he obviously didn’t go through with the invitation. “Did you read the entire invite?” “Oops.” He grits his teeth as we walk further into the room.All eyes are on us, wait did I say us? Let me rephrase that, All eyes are on me. I keep a straight face as we proceed to walk to the table reserved for us and we take our seats. People continue to gape and talk in grumbles. Santiago reaches for a glass of whiskey and chunks it down, dismissing the stares we are getting. “Once again you've managed to take word out of everyone's mouths, classic.” He murmurs, making me laugh.
ALPHA'S HATED MATE Camilla's POV Today is the day! I've been waiting for today for what seems like forever but standing here in my uniform I know it’s real. My uniform, You can tell it was bought by Ryan just by looking at how loosely it sits on me.Where the skirt ends, socks begin. It reaches right above my knees but I like it. I like comfortable clothing and this is very comfy compared to the little skin tight skirts I see most girls wearing. My hair is fixed into a very neat bun.“Princessa Venga!” I hear my brother Ryan yell from downstairs. I take one last look at myself in the mirror before heading downstairs.Taking my last step on the staircase, I glance at him, “Sorry, I couldn't find my notepad.”He nods, waving my apology off. “Okay the school bus will be here in a few minutes.” “The sc... sch.. scho
I rise from my seat and turn to face everyone. they're all staring at me, half of them judging me, the other half trying to find ways to judge me.I take a deep breath to ease my nerves. “Hello, my name is Camilla Mia Burton. I'm sevent....” “No one cares about your age, just tell us your goddamn name and sit down.” Raquel snorts. Everyone laughs once again, okay I see this I'm the new kid that makes the popular kid look good and funny. If I don't entertain her or show her she's getting to me, she will find someone else to pick on. I'm sure whoever she was picking on before I got here is over the moon right now.The Math teacher bangs the chalkboard eraser on the desk to draw attention to her. “Quiet! And Raquel quit being so rude to your classmates or out you go.” She warns. “I was simply helping her out, Miss Vanderbilt.” She whin
No he can’t be my mate. Now I am sure I’m cursed, what did I do to you Moon goddess why pair me with the Alpha? Of all men why him? I glance at him and his Beta as more tears stream down my face. I shiver from the cold and also fear raging through me. They walk away from me and before they look back I make a run for it, I run to the principal's office, not bothering to knock when I enter. “Miss Burton you can’t just barge in this is not a…” She halts when she takes a better look at the crying mess I am, “What happened to you?” Unable to speak I cry even more, she offers me a pitiful look, I hate that look but people have been giving it to me all my life, it’s pathetic, I loathe it. She has her head and gestures to the seat, “Come on, take a seat over there I will call Alpha Ryan to pick you up. School isn’t done for another 1hour but this is an emerge
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
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 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
