Chapter 20 - Seren

last update Last Updated: 2025-01-27 21:58:58

Alejandro had worn me down. He was handsome, of that there was no denying. Funny too. And damn, that smile… it was enough to melt a girl’s heart! Probably her panties too, if he tried hard enough... But, I had slightly more resilience than that, so, after asking me out, yet again, I found myself relenting and agreeing to spending a little time with him. I knew I was likely one on a very long list. I mean, how can a guy be that handsome and not have a dating list the length of his arm?

But, I needed a distraction from the many stresses ongoing right now. And, why not a handsome warrior?

He had training today, so because he did not want to wait to spend some time with me, he had suggested a walk around the pack, which was fine with me, I enjoyed wandering around pack, and it made a change having company. The smile lighting up his face was enough to brighten my day, I could not lie. His words were making me giggle, as he most certainly had a way with them... However, his wandering hands

  • Fated but Hated   Chapter 21 - Seren

    I stood in front of the mirror within my bedroom, adjusting the dress I had picked out for this supposed date I had agreed to, now questioning if going on the date was the right thing to do or not…I ran the hairbrush through my hair for about the tenth time since I had stood in front of the mirror, questioning over and over in my mind what I should do. Surely seeing him as a friend wouldn’t hurt, would it? He made me laugh… he made me feel good… and the guy had been chasing me for quite some time… I belonged to nobody. I had every right to see who I wanted. Until I found my mate I was free to see who I wanted. I did not have to do anything serious...My mind flicked back to Cole’s words. There could be no way that guy was my mate, or else he would have said something, surely? Why did my brother and his friend have to involve themselves in my life?! Why did they have to say anything at all? If they had simply kept quiet I would have been smiling, listening to some music and making my

  • Fated but Hated   Chapter 22 - Lachlan

    I watched Seren leave the house with a smirk upon my face. I could tell from her body language we had got inside of her head. Or more specifically I had. She was not offering herself to some other wolf in pack. Especially one below me in rank.That girl is mine. I don’t want her. But the fact she is my fated mate makes her mine. Whether she knows it or not. She is mine. And will remain mine. That is how the matebond works. It creates a possessive need. It causes feelings inside of me and my wolf that I cannot control. Feelings that I do not like. Feelings I most certainly do not want. This is Seren after all. And seeing her with another man, oblivious to what she is doing makes me angry. So, I had to teach her a lesson with my harsh words…And the look in her eyes as she rushed away told me all I needed to know. Alejandro would not be getting his date with Seren as he had hoped. I had done all I needed to do, and I was happy with that. She would remain mine for another day. No other

    I had come to my favourite, most peaceful place. The hill that overlooked the valley which created a large portion of our pack. I had needed some space. Some time to myself. Thankfully Alejandro had been more than understanding of my reasoning, and had even offered another date another time. So, I had the option should I change my mind. He was sweet, bless him…Just as I had been sitting, cross-legged, my eyes taking in the valley below, fucking Lachlan mindlinked, demanding to know where I was. It was not something I had expected, and it had made little sense to me considering the conversation that had happened at home, unless of course, he was checking up on me. But, of course, Beta-blockhead wouldn’t even give an explanation as to why he wanted to see me! So, in my mind that had to mean there was no real just cause or reason.I am sure he gets a kick out of bullying me, and had believed so for a long time. The nastiness he showed to me had only increased over the years. But today,

    Seren’s scent had taken over my senses. Tyr was pushing forward and trying hard to take control. Hearing her talk of another man that way had sickened me. It had to be an intentional measure to get under my skin, did it not? Because with each mention of the things she imagined Alejandro doing to her, my blood felt like it increased in temperature. My anger increasing. This she-wolf was not for any other wolf… she was mine. I did not want her. But no other man would take her.My fists clenched angrily as I had pinned her in with my arms, and her dark eyes looked up at me with fear. Fear that gave me an odd thrill. The moment Tyr pushed harder and forced my voice, I knew things had gone to far…Seren’s long lashes fluttered almost innocently as her eyes were wide, staring up at me. Ironic really considering the things she had just been saying, because they were becoming anything but innocent…“Erm…” she stuttered. A part of me was struggling to decipher what this girl wanted. But I was

    After the weirdness that had gone down between us I had decided to stay out of Beta Blockhead’s way. Though thankfully he had been shipped out to complete his Beta training. Beta training was a specialised training for upcoming Betas to prepare them for the role they would soon undertake. It should be something their fathers also help prepare them for, but sadly Lachlan did not have that, so he was being sent for additional training to ensure he was well prepared. Although when listening to him anyone would think the arrogant dick had been born ready...So, his training was almost at a close. Ensuring he was ready to join his closest friends in running our pack. But him completing the training meant that unfortunately he was fast approaching becoming Beta of our pack. There were no more reasons to delay. He would inherit his father's title. A title that had been held for him. A title that had not been filled since his Dad had died.And, as much as I dislike Lachlan, it was not that I

    I stood in front of the mirror looking at my reflection. Today was the day. It was now. I had worked my ass off for the last few years to be the best I could possibly be.“I hope I have made you proud Dad.” I whispered to the empty room I am stood in, unsure if there is such a thing as spirits or not. I had liked to think many a time that my Dad was still with me. The strength behind me. The one pushing me to do better… losing him at such a young age had been hard. He had always been there for me growing up, and as a young boy, I had relied on him. Looked up to him. Respected him. I wanted to be just like him.My Dad was a well respected man in pack. A much-loved figure in his role as Beta, and I hoped when I took my rightful place as Beta today, that I could do my Dad proud. I wanted to be as successful as my Dad had been. Be as kind, and caring as he was, while being ruthless, strong and dominant. Everything a Beta should be. I wanted to be the best at what I was meant to be. I wan

    A huge pack event. Of course it was going to be. It had been the same for Marcus becoming Alpha, and for my brother becoming Gamma. As a pack, it was wanted for the members to celebrate those in charge. They were wanted for them to adored. Respected. And our pack loved to have things to celebrate. This was a day that had been waited for since Uncle Austin had passed away. It was a day the pack was more than ready to celebrate. A day that Lachlan was no doubt more than ready for. Me, however, well, I kinda could not care less...Pack was decked out. And, I meant decked out! My Mum and my Aunts had made sure of that. There would be guests from outside packs attending. And everyone within our pack would be expected to attend, so there would be no hope of avoiding it, even if I wanted to. And I really wanted to...I had done well to avoid Beta Blockhead but today, I would have to see him. There would be no avoding it. I would be expected to be there. Watchng him become the

    I stumbled back a little at the tone of Lachlan’s voice. Not to mention the look within his eyes. He looked furious, with no real just cause or reason. He confused me. But what bothered me more was the way Alejandro was backing away. He was freaking out, and who could blame him. He was trying to gain a date with me, and the soon-to-be pack Beta was kicking off at him... I had a feeling any interest Alejandro had in me was disappearing, and fast.“Erm…” I stuttered, unable to find the words I needed right now. God damn my brain!“Lost the ability to speak?” Lachlan snapped. "Seemed to be fine a moment ago while chatting up this one." he pointed aggressively toward Alejandro, before he lurched a little closer to me. In a flurry of movement, Alejandro was moving forward, stepping in front of me, as if he felt he should be defending me. Had he thought I was in danger from Lachlan? My heart was racing beyond belief, and while it was awfully sweet that Alejandro would attempt to defend me,

    I saw Seren flinch the moment my fist impacted with the countertop, and my body flooded with guilt. She was not meant to be scared of me. Respect me, yes. Being scared of me, not so much. Tyr snarled angrily at me.My wolf may do this apparent disappearing act, which seemed to be happening on a more regularly basis of late, but he also seemed skilled in lingering between the two states it appeared. Monitoring what was happening, so he knew when he may be needed. Shame he had not done that last night when I had needed him. But, it seemed he only bothered to come back when it related to Seren… his priority was most definitely on his fated mate.I chose to ignore my wolf right now, his temper tantrums were growing tiresome, and I still had a headache, so dealing with another moodswing from an angry wolf was not something I wanted to deal with. He just needed to deal with the decisions I was making in regard to Seren. Surely he could understand why

  • Fated but Hated   Chapter 33 - Seren

    I was having a lazy morning. After staying so late clearing up the night before, it was more than warranted... I had stayed in bed for as long as I was able, but it had reached the point my back was aching, and I needed to pee, so I had little choice but to get up. And once up, I had decided a coffee was needed. So, I wandered downstairs. The house seemingly eerily quiet, so I could only assume I was on my own.Cole was likely out training, or he would be working, assuming his head was in any fit state, after drinking with Lachlan last night. Mum would be across at the packhouse, where she seemed to spend most of her free time since Dad had passed away. Though, in truth, she spent many hours of her free time there when he had been alive too, a wonderful Gamma’s wife. Full of community spirit, arranging many activities for pack members to join in with, along with my Aunts. The three of them were the perfect example of a pack's senior team's wives.I was only wearing a short pair of sh

    Eurrgghh…. Why do my eyes hurt? They aren’t even opened! How can they hurt when they are closed? I bring my hand to my eyes, only slapping myself in the process. Fuck... I think my body is broken. It all hurts... It doesn't want to work the way I want it to. I force myself to half wake up to allow myself to stretch. Totally unsure why my whole body aches so damn much. I feel like I have been run over by a truck! Jeez... I forced my eyelids open, groaning as the sunlight hit my eyes, as Tyr chuckled. I fucking hate my wolf…‘Should have taken better care of yourself.’ My wolf unhelpfully pointed out. No shit...‘Are you not meant to look out for me?’ I questioned, to which he chuckled again. I rolled over, realising with a sinking feeling that I had somehow fallen asleep on the grass outside the gym… wow. I have sunk to new levels, that is for sure. I don't even remember how I had got here. It wasn't even on my way home! I think it is safe to say I may have drunk too much when at my ce

    Thankfully the evening had passed relatively quickly. With Ayla by my side I had managed to have some fun, and we found ways to distract ourselves people watching. Chatting. And just generally spending time together, just the two of us. So long as I did not look at Lachlan I found I managed just fine. If he wanted to settle on random she-wolves within pack before finding his fated mate, what business was that of mine? None. Just as my love-life would be nothing to do with him. Not that I think I had a love life now...The celebrations had been every inch the success my Mum and my Aunts could have hoped for. Many happy faces had left gradually over the space of the evening, telling me that we had done a good job with the organization once again. They were a force to be reckoned with those three, and would no doubt be missed when they stepped down from their roles. I had stayed until the end of the celebration, helping to clear up as promised to my Mum.She, and my Aunts had left earlie

    The ceremony had taken place, and the celebrations were now well underway. I have to say, sitting and listening to the formalities of Lachlan becoming Beta were every bit as uncomfortable as I had thought they would be. Only made worse by that smug smile he continously seemed to be aiming in my direction. His gaze falling upon me, and that smile lingering upon his lips, like he felt he should rub in this promtion within pack. Knowing I now had to show him respect. He was loving it...But, I could go nowhere, and I could do nothing. I had to sit there calmly, acting as if nothing was wrong. Pretending I was as proud as the rest of the close friends and family with which I was sat with. When in truth I did not care less that Lachlan fucking Lamont had been promoted in pack. It just meant he would use it to make my life harder.I was sitting with my Mum and my Aunts, as that was where I had been placed on the seaing plan. Part of the senior pack families

  • Fated but Hated   Chapter 29 - Lachlan

    I had seen the stroppy Seren storm away from me and the warrior leaving us standing staring at one another. Like an icy stand off. He would be a fool if he thought for a moment he stood a chance against me. He was merely a warrior. I had a Beta-wolf. I could easily destroy him. But, instead of doing anything, he gave me a cold stare before turning his back to me, and walking in the opposite direction. Brave for a little fucking warrior. But at least he did not go running after Seren. Hopefully he may have been panicked enough that he would stay away from her. She did not need someone like him in her life, of that I was certain. She belonged to me.My anger was dissipating, and I allowed my gaze to seek Seren out. She infuriated me. The way she challenged me on anything and everything. Like she enjoyed to anger me. I found her almost immediately among the crowds spread out over the training field. That dress she had on was hugging her curves. The curves of a
