I could feel Seren all but trembling within my arms, but I knew that effect was not down to me. That warrior she had near surrendered herself to had broken her. Had I not arrived when I did he could have taken everything from her. My whole body was trembling too, and it was not in fear like Seren’s. The trembling coursing through my body was in rage. Yet as Seren’s big brown eyes looked up at me, I could feel no anger toward her.

Yes, she had been foolish. But, I hated hearing her call herself stupid. This was more a man trying to take advantage of a naive she-wolf. That warrior had known exactly what he was doing, and that infuriated me.

“You need to be more careful, Ren.” I mumbled, seeming unable to look away from those eyes of hers. They were looking at me with such need right now. “We don’t want you getting hurt.” I told her. Regardless of any resentment I may feel toward her, the thought of Seren getting hurt really did t

    I walked alongside Lachlan in almost a trance. The dealthly silence that sat between us beyond uncomfortable. Maia whimpered heavily at the way our mate had all but pushed us away, but I cannot say I was surprised at how he had reacted. The appearance of that wolf out on his midnight run was likely a relief for Lachlan. It had saved him from a moment of madness. How Lachlan had been acting had been so out of character it had taken me by surprise. It had felt so nice, and I guess, you could say, I had been swept away by the moment. But, I knew the second Lachlan reacted how he did he had regretted his actions...‘Do not say that!’ Maia whimpered again. ‘Did you not see the way he looked at us? He wanted us…’I sighed. I was not about to allow my wolf to try to convince me of things that simply were not there. Of course she was going to hope for our fated mate to want us. That was what every wolf would want. It was natura

  • Fated but Hated   Chapter 58 - Lachlan

    Well, the vulnerable Seren did not last long at all, I have to say. She was back to sniping at me before we had even stepped foot inside of my house! Tyr was on at me about taking care of her, and as we walked, I could see such pain within her eyes, I was not able to be harsh with her. I knew my wolf was right. She had been through enough tonight, and needed somebody to be there for her. So, knowing her own mother was likely in no fit state to care for her tonight, and knowing her brother was currently ensconced in the arms of a random she-wolf right now, I thought the decent thing to do was to offer to be there for her and allow her to crash at mine.But, having her sniping at me that way again, I was truly beginning to doubt if it was the right thing or not. Yet, we were already arriving at the house. Not a time to turn Seren away now. I would just have to tolerate her. It wasn't like I wasn't an expert in that already. I walked into the house, and turned to look back at he

  • Fated but Hated   Chapter 59 - Seren

    I walked into the kitchen, a heaviness in my gut at the realization of what I had just admitted to. I had no clue if Lachlan had known of my silly crush on him earlier in my teens. I had always tried hard to hide it. Lachlan was confident, and cocky as a teen, and I knew he would humiliate me had he known. Not to mention my brother would have been nothing but ashamed of me had he learned of it... But, just now, those words had slipped out without thinking, likely due to my tiredness. And, regardless of any potential backlash, I did not plan to stand and discuss it now, I knew that much. The past was always better staying in the past.I could tell my words had captured Lachlan's attention because the silence was deathly. If I could have had the earth open up and swallow me whole I gladly would have right then. Anything to escape this awkwardness... But, instead, I decided to try to change the subject. “You got any soda?” I questioned, breaking the

  • Fated but Hated   Chapter 60 - Lachlan

    Initially I had wanted an answer. That had been all. An answer to when Seren had felt that way about me, and what had changed. The venom in her voice had bothered me. I knew I had treated her badly over the years, and continued to do so. In my mind, having every reason to do so. But, I wanted to know her reasoning for these feelings.But, the scent of her arousal had hit my senses, and nothing else mattered in that moment. My wolf and I could focus on nothing else. That scent was so overwhelming. I was instantly aroused. It had been some time now since I had been with a woman… and this was the scent of my own fated mate's arousal… arousal because of me. I could not simply walk away. I wanted her it seemed. And logic dissapeared in the moment, desire taking over.All I could see was Seren. The curves of her perfect body... and that scent... that scent was taking over my mind... I loved seeing the shock upon her face as I parted her thighs

    My whole body shuddered under Lachlan’s touch. My core trembling from the affect of the orgasm he had created. His eyes held a deeper, darker glint to them as he studied my face now. “Did that feel good?” he murmured against my cheek, and I nodded, too breathless to answer. Still in complete shock at what we had just done. I had returned to his house because it was easier... and suddenly we were doing this? Yet, as wrong as it felt, I hadn't wanted to stop... it felt right too...Lachlan released a low throaty chuckle, as he allowed his fingers to tease slowly against my folds once again, my body melting under his touch, my entire skin flushed with heat, a stark contrast to the cold surface of the kitchen worktop Lachlan currently had me pressed up against.“You want more?” he questioned, and inexplicably I found myself nodding in agreement. Again, I knew this wrong. Something both of us may live to regret, but I also knew I did not want i

    Seren’s kisses were turning out to be more than I could ever have expected. They were turning my body into one raging desire. This matebond had a lot to answer for. I don’t think I had ever looked at her this way before… had I? I don’t know. But, I knew that in this moment, and likely ever again, I was looking no where else. My wolf had been right, the affect she was having upon me was like nothing else I had experienced before.With every delicate touch of her fingers along my skin my body shivered with sheer pleasure… the need for her coursing through me. I had unhooked the delicate lace bra she was wearing, uncovering her entire body to me. Allowing me to see all of her. And she was, in short, perfect. I could see the nerves within her eyes as I took within her body, so I made an appreciative moan to let her know how much I liked what I saw. Seren had nothing to be embaressed of, yet she tried to cover herself with her hands, so I moved her

    Rippling with a new surge of confidence, I wandered from the bed to the bathroom where Lachlan had headed to clean up. Everything we had shared had been so much more than I had expected. Lachlan had been so much more. He had been different. He made me feel wanted. Needed. I liked it. I wanted more.‘That is what a mate does.’ Maia urged me. I was unsure the confidence I felt as I walked across the room, still naked was from the way Lachlan had made me feel, or the boost of confidence provided by my wolf. Either way, I liked feeling this way. If this was what being with Lachlan was like, then I wanted it more often. It was good for me. He had to see that, right?I could hear the water running, and the door was slightly ajar, so I snuck into the bathroom, Lachlan, was standing in front of the mirror, his once naked body now half wrapped in a towel slung heavy on his hips. He looked good, though I think, having seen him naked, I preferred him

    I laid there trying so desperately to allow sleep to find me, but it would not. My mind was playing games with me, and simply would not allow me to rest. There had been too many things happen today that I was thinking over. Analyzing. Mmy head was beginning to hurt, and I felt like my mind wanted to self-implode. Instead, I tossed and I turned, hoping that repositioning myself would help. But there was nothing. With every movement I was fully aware of the heat from Lachlan that radiated from beside me, as his breathing had slowed and sleep passed over him.I desperately wanted to wake him. Talk to him. Kiss him once again. Know that all we had done was nothing more than my imagination. Because, as crazy as it seemed, it still felt surreal to me. It did not feel real. It did not feel like Lachlan would want me in that way. But that look within his eyes was forever burned within my soul. I wanted him to look at me that way forever. That was the way a mate should look to their one. The o

    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

    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

    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
