Chapter 39 - Seren
Huling Na-update:
2025-02-11 18:05:50I had barely slept, but I think that had been more excitement than anything. Today was my birthday. I knew that my wolf could make her appearance at any time. And I wanted to be ready…
I had heard many tales of friends being woken in the early hours with their wolves desperate to be allowed out to shift. And, a small part of me had hoped that may be the case for me too, but frustratingly, there had been nothing. I tossed and I turned, hoping and waiting, but there was simply radio silence… so, I lay there until sleep had found me, until it was time to get up and enjoy the day my family had planned for me.
I trudged down the stairs only for my Mum to begin singing the moment I reached the bottom. Cole sat at the breakfast bar, a big grin on his face the moment he had seen me walk into the kitchen, listening to Mum singing happy birthday to me so out of tune it hurt, the way she did every single birthday.
“Happy Birthday sis!” He stood to

Fated but Hated Chapter 40 - Lachlan
I had decided the best way to avoid anything to do with Seren and her god damn birthday that my Mum had not shut up about for the last goddess knows how many days, was to be out of the house. I had tried my office, but it seemed that when I was there, simply in the vicinity of where my Aunts or my Mum were, they felt it was appropriate to keep updating me on what was being done, or roping me into helping.I think I had done enough in the sitting for hours cutting little pieces of fabric for my Mum to fit to something she called bunting. Basically ribbon with flags on. Sure she could have bought some if she looked. Why it needed to be homemade I did not know. But apparently homemade is best... food, yes, I wholeheartedly agree, but would anyone even be able to tell the difference with the damn flags hanging around the field when celebrating? I sure would in the future, I knew that!So, my plan was running. Training. All day, and night if necessary. Pushing myself to the

Seren’s big brown eyes looked up at me through her long lashes, her black hair hung down over my arm as she laid in my arms. Her heart pounding heavily while her face pulled into another grimace of pain. “How is that going to work?” she questioned through tight lips. I sighed. I didn’t honestly know. It seemed right now that her wolf was stuck between forms. I did not know how. And I did not know how to alter that. But, I hoped that perhaps me talking her through the shift could help. Or her seeing me shift could help. Anything to get her through this situation she is stuck in so I could get away. I had not wanted to see her today. I did not want to see her again. But, living in the same pack made that kind of hard. So avoidance was the next best tactic. Or, in my case, may be the only available tactic seeing as running away was not an option... “Maybe seeing me shift could help?” I offered. “I know how to shift.” she snapped, yet there was pain rather than a

There she was. Fiery, annoying Seren. And now she was growling at me. But, for her to growl at me meant her wolf had to be closer to the surface. It was working! I was able to help her, I hoped. And then leave her to enjoy the rest of her day. Before she was able to realize the situation between us…“What would you know about ladies? Not like you go near them. Hook up with anything with a pulse, don’t you? Wouldn’t class many of them as ladies if they are offering themselves to you.” she jeered, and I faltered for a moment. Shocked at her bluntness. Was that a sign of jealousy? I could not help but ponder, but the tightness of her grip squeezed harder once more, feeling, like all circulation to my hand was currently being cut off.“What I do in my spare time is fuck all to do with you. Cant say you are much better strutting around pack in next to no clothes just to catch the attention of the men. Or is it just the warrior you want?&

Maia was finally free. My wolf was finally here. It had not been the easiest of shifts, but she was here. The pain had been excruciating. But with Lachlan’s help, and him talking me through it we had managed to push through. I had envisioned so many scenarios for meeting my wolf, and not one had been anywhere close to as disastrous as that! I had no clue why she had become stuck, and she seemed unable to answer that either, but right now I did not care. My wolf was here! She was free... and we were able to get to know one another the way we should...But, as she shook out her fur, I could sense that Maia seemed on edge. A little angry even. Yes, we may have just met, but it felt too strong to deny those emotions. Something did not seem right. 'Maia?' I question. 'Is everything okay?'But my wolf stayed silent. Her eyes upon the wolf in front of us. A deep gray wolf who looked at us with what looked like concern. Could wolves look concerned? He s

My feet hurt as they ran across the forest floor with no shoes on. But I had no intention of stopping. This was the worst news imaginable. I knew from today I could find my fated mate. Everyone knew that finally meeting your wolf meant you were able to finally sense your fated mate too. But I did not think it would happen any time soon. Yet, it seemed my fated mate had been within my midst all along.And he had known. He had known since the moment he had shifted himself all those months ago, and never said a damn word. He had chosen to keep it a secret. Treating me horrendously in the meantime too. What did that say for him? Or our matebond? My heart twisted in pain. This was not good...“Seren wait!” Lachlan’s voice sounded far behind me as I continued to run, with Maia’s whimpering beginning to echo in my mind. This was not a good start for me and my wolf. She sounded in distress, and I think I may be a part of the cause. I d

Tyr was not going to allow me to let Seren walk away from us. Not when he saw the look within her eyes. She had realized the truth. That much was clear. A truth I had fought since the moment I had realized it on the day I had shifted for the first time. I could see the pain in her eyes. She likely did not want it. Just as I did not. But, I hated the mess we were in. There was no logical reason fated would throw the two of us together. We did not make sense.But, watching Seren run away, trying hard to avoid watching her naked ass swaying as she ran, I knew I was going to have to follow. My wolf wanted some damage limitation put in place, and in truth, I think that was probably wise, given the fact she was running toward pack, full of emotion and likely ready to spill that secret to whoever may be ready to listen.I needed her to hear my side of the story first. She needed to know why I had done what I had. She had to understand, right? She looked as hurt and as confuse
Huling Na-update : 2025-02-16Fated but Hated Chapter 46 - Seren
I was pulled into Lachlan’s embrace, as he told me to wait, and because I felt so damn weak and emotional, I had no strength to stop him. Not only that, but I think my wolf wanted to feel his arms around us. I think she liked our mate, and that was never a good thing. The moment Lachlan's arms wrapped arund me, Maia began to make a strange noise, almost like a purr, while I felt like I wanted to be sick. I did not want him touching me. He repulsed me right now. How could he do this to me? Yet his touch felt good too... my mind and body in war with one another. And my wolf was not helping. I felt like screaming.A matebond was strong, of course it was. It was there to be an undeniable connection between fated mates. Mates that are meant to be together. A perfect pairing. Only we were not. But, I guess the matebond between Lachlan and I only proves that the Moon Goddess gets it wrong sometimes. She has to. For he and I are anything but compatible.“Lachlan, please.” I whispered against

Needing to get away from Lachlan, I rushed through the pack. Walking quicker than I knew was possible, fearing he may try to catch me as he had done on the previous attempts to get away. Only this time there were no footsteps behind me. He had allowed me to get away. He had gained all he had wanted. He had got his own way. That was what he needed from me. He had not been there for me because he cared. He was there to ensure his secret was safe. To ensure he gained what he wanted.I walked with my head down, thoroughly ashamed of the whole mess that I found myself in. Not to mention completely confused as to why the Moon Goddess would pair me with someone like him. I always had been led to believe the Moon Goddess was careful in her choices. Carefully selecting the fated mate that would be the one to travel through life with the other... a perfect match... two halves... yet with Lachlan we were more like two jigsaw pieces that would simply not fit together no

Fated but Hated Chapter 103 - Lachlan
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
Fated but Hated Chapter 100 - Seren
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
Fated but Hated Chapter 98 - Seren
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
