Fated but Hated Chapter 23 - Seren
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 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

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

It had tore me apart hearing that Seren was leaving pack. When I had been all but forced to agree to not seeing her, I was comforted by the fact that Seren was in pack. She was being cared for by our own doctors, and some of the best around at that. Plus, she had our families visiting her. I knew, despite not being able to see her, she was close, and she was well. Hearing she was well enough to be discharged from the pack hospital had been a rush of relief, of course it had, but that had soon been replaced by a flood of pain the moment Marcus told me that he had permitted for her to go and continue her studies in the city. He was allowing her to leave me. Leave our pack. And, I believed his reasoning for that was because of how I had treated her.Marcus was my friend, but he was also a friend to Seren. I believed, considering the way in which he acted around me of late that he found himself torn between the two friendships... perhaps rightly so. We had alway
Fated but Hated Chapter 102 - Seren
Marcus and Cole had come to the hospital to collect me. I was finally able to leave. Relief was not a word to describe it. I did not know how to explain it, for it simply felt like time had been paused, yet I had been here for an eternity. The same four walls of a room begin to feel like a prison despite the fact you are not being forced to stay there. I think I knew every part of that room in far too much detail. But, the moment had come for me to be discharged with my body all but healed.There were still the occasional niggling pain, or ache depending upon how I moved, but it was nothing I could not cope with. The doctors had reassured me I was well on the way to a full recovery. I had been told I had been lucky. But, I did not feel lucky. Far from it. I had chosen not to consider all of that though. I had a future to focus upon, and thanks to Marcus, his mate and my planning, I was able to do that.“Still don’t agree with this.” Cole grumbled as h
Fated but Hated Chapter 101 - Lachlan
It was destroying me not doing as I had wanted, and as I had promised and, being by Seren’s side as she healed. I had desperately wanted to prove to her I was not the monster she likely created within her mind… or my bad behaviour and treatment had created. I wanted to prove to her I could be a good man. But, I was respecting the wishes of my Aunt, and more so my mother.These were the women that had been a greater part of my life growing up, and I respected their opinions as much as I did my Uncle as a former Alpha. And, as much as it hurt, I knew they may well be right. Seren did deserve better. My wolf had been right all along and my bad choices, be it through lack of information or not, had caused me to lose my mate. Now I was faced with dealing with the consequences.Tyr had retreated to the nether reaches of my mind. It was strange to say I even missed his sly digs that I had grown accustomed to. The lingering that he had done previ

I had laid within the now familiar walls of my hospital room looking around, losing all sense of time. I could not help but wonder where Lachlan had got to. Yes, he had said he would give me space, but what exactly did that mean? I assumed, giving everything else he had said he would be returning later that day. Maybe the next. But here we were, or here I was, days later and there was still no sign of him. I would not lie, it hurt.And, I felt like a fool for ever allowing it to hurt. Not to mention to have allowed, once again, my hopes to be built around anything Lachlan Lamont had said or done. He said he could change. He said he was a good guy. All things were pointing to nothing having changed. And, forgiven or not, I was finding it increasingly harder to view him as a good guy. Despite me craving the company of Lachlan, I still had company; and plenty of it too. My Mum continued her dai
Fated but Hated Chapter 99 - Lachlan
I had returned to my family home, a place I had not returned in the days since Seren’s accident, and took a shower. The warmth of the water feeling like a welcome relief upon my aching body. Having slept within that hard and uncomfortable hospital chair for far too many nights my body was not doing too well, and I feared Tyr was becoming weaker.His communication with me was lesser. And it had been sometime since I had last shifted. My priorities of course had been sitting by the bedside of Seren until she awoke. Now that had occurred I could try to take care of both her and myself. Begin to put things right. I knew we may have a long road ahead, but I swore I had seen something within her eyes when I mentioned proving myself to her. I just hoped I was capable of it.Fate had always been something in the back of my mind. Part of our life cycle, but something for the future. Nothing I was in a hurry for, I guess you could say. I was always a bit

Well I had not been wrong, the moment I closed my eyes to get some rest, my Mum had been in, And now she would not leave me alone. In the end I had to ask the doctor to tell her to leave because I needed some peace. My entire body had ached and my eyes felt so heavy. But more than anything my heas banging from the amount of talking from my mother. Maybe there were advantages to being in that odd state between being here and not. Because it meant I didn’t have to listen to my Mum telling me all the pack gossip. And, having been unconscious for days, it meant there was even more to catch up on!After finally being able to relax a little and settle to some silence my peace was disturbed once more as my older brother strode into my room. He looked anxious and on edge. Oddly there had been little else but silence since his arrival because Cole was sitting by my bed now, watching me through narrowed eyes and barely speaking a word. I was unsure why he had co
Fated but Hated Chapter 97 - Seren
It broke my heart hearing Lachlan be so open and honest about things to me. In all the years he and I have known one another never do I recall him talking so freely with me. I felt honoured he trusted me to share some of the things he had, because I doubted many others knew of the things he spoke of. And, while the things he said may have hurt, in my mind there was nothing to forgive.I never knew he had struggled that way. I certainly never knew he had felt so alone. Growing up side by side, being so close, yet I was clueless of his struggles. Guilt flooded my body that he had endured this alone. I knew how much he loved his Mum, and how close they were, so hearing him say he had to witness her fall apart in secret was soul destroying. He was a young boy. But this was through no fault of my Aunt's either. Circumstance had brought them to this. Lachlan would have been struggling with the loss of his Dad and needed support, and likely feared he could not seek

My body once again felt like it was frozen in time as Seren lay there looking over at us. Her big brown eyes looking like they were focused upon me, while I was vaguely aware of Marcus calling her name. After everything she had come around. She was finally awake.I felt a swift punch to my arm. “You lost all fucking ability to think straight?” Marcus muttered, snapping me back to reality. “Going to mark her and then can't fucking talk now she is here.”Seren attempted to shake her head but I noticed her wince in pain, her hand moving toward her neck, and she stopped herself, every movement seemingly hurting her. I moved across the short distance from where we stood to her bed. “Don’t move Ren, if it hurts stay still, yeah?” I urged her. “Do you want some water? I imagine you must be thirsty.”“Maybe we should check with the doctor first.” Marcus said. “Damn woman, you had u
Fated but Hated Chapter 95 - Seren
I felt like I was drifting. Floating. In a state of nothingness. I did not like it. But I did not know how to get out. One moment I had been striding down the main street of our local city, planning the first leg of my journey. As well as having picked up an application form for the local university. Then I was here. Stuck.It had been one hell of a day, but I had took on board the things Lachlan had said. Even researched it a little too. Being apart from your fated mate was going to be difficult, but then, being near him was likely going to be even harder, so I decided I would allow myself the trip I wanted. Not the long, travelling trip I had been planning, but a shorter, more of a vacation sort of trip, with additional ones in the future. Before enrolling for further education upon my return. Living away from pack for most of the week, returning home at weekends. Sort of the best of both worlds. Giving me the much needed space I was craving, as well as be
