last update Last Updated: 2025-01-16 21:04:50

Seren’s attitude with me had ruined my mood, and any chance I had with Cara… or Zara… or whatever her name was. So, I had gone back to joining my friends, disregarding my initial plans of spending my birthday evening finding she-wolves to keep me occupied and rid my mind of thoughts of the filthy, repulsive she-wolf that fate had given me for a mate. The night had not gone the way I had hoped. But, my friends were always good company. Especially when we had a few drinks down us.

The party was, as parties go, not a bad one. Plenty of laughter, and fun, as to be expected from a pack celebration where there was an ongoing supply of food and alcohol. Music playing until the early hours. Everything a person could want for a party. Yet, I headed home at the end of my party feeling deflated. Like my coming of age had been nothing but a disappointment. Nothing like I had expected.

Tyr had slipped to the nether regions of my mind early in the evening, in one hell of a mood with me, likely bec

    Already a week into being of age, and I had to say it sucked. I had waited eighteen damn years for this period of my life, and as it turned out, it was nothing but a big, fat disappointment. My wolf had decided he was hibernating. Or, as the case was more likely to be, ignoring me like the ignorant little shit it appeared he was. My wolf was everything I did not want in a wolf. In truth, I had hoped for a wolf that I would gain another friend in, instead it appeared I had gained an enemy. A mortal enemy with the way things were going.I was now having to dodge my friends in their requests to go for a run, both Cole and Marcus desperate to meet my wolf. Neither one having been able to on my birthday, so trying each day since to arrange a chance to train together in our wolf form or run together. There was only one issue with that, the little fucker did not want to come out to play. My wolf was being as awkward as he could be.I liked to keep myself fit, and exercise was an important pa

    I stood watching Seren walk away. Her long dark hair swinging as she walked. She was in a hurry to get away from me, that was evident to see. A part of me wanted to go after her, but I stayed, almost fixed to the spot, as she strode further away. While listening to my wolf snarling angrily at me. My gut twisting, along with my heart. I knew the pain she was in. I knew the struggle of losing your father…FLASHBACK – 8 years ago.I played happily with Cole. Climbing the large tree in the garden of their home. The sun was shining and we loved to make the most of the sunshine. Any opportunity to be outside. Climbing trees was one of our favorite things to do, and the one sitting in the Bradshaw's garden was one of the many trees we had fallen from countless times before. The slightly smaller one alongside it was the tree where the treehouse sat. I believed we had fallen from that a few times too. We made a habit of falling. Always so clumsy. Too busy having fun...Thankfully, Aunt Sofia

    Today had been a day I had been dreading. But as sure as the sun was to rise, it had arrived. A day that filled me with pain. A day that left me contemplating so much. Reliving memories. My eyes filled with tears. Losing someone you love is the worst imagineable loss, but when that someone is someone you depend upon… turn to… look up to… he had been my everything. Is that not what a Dad was meant to be to his little girl? I had never expected to lose him whilst I was so young. Though, I don’t suppose many people expect to lose the ones they love… and, no matter how hard I tried, I did not know how to make that loss any easier.Three years this year since he had left us. Three years since I had heard his voice. Three years since he had lovingly wrapped his arms around my Mum's waist as she made him his morning coffee, making her giggle, despite their many years together as mates. 1095 days feeling lost without my Dad by my side to turn to for

    That smug look lingered across Lachlan's dark features as his smirk widened. His dark eyes never leaving me for a second as he watched me move along the corridor. “Alright, Ren.” He nodded at me, before raising his coffee mug to me.Without further acknowledgement of him, I quickly continued striding along the corridor, before my anger well and truly bubbled out of control. I did not know what he was doing here, and I did not need him here. Marching into the kitchen to find my brother tossing one of the pancakes as I did, he looked up at me with a welcoming smile. The lightness in his face only to be brought down by me as I snapped. “What is he doing here?”Cole’s eyes rolled upward, like he was sick of my words. It was something I had asked him multiple times before. I hated the sight of Lachlan making himself comfortable within our family home, especially when he had his arrogant head on. Unfortunately, as a close family friend, he made

    I was doing all I could to avoid my fated mate. The sight of her infuriated me. The sound of her voice made me angry. I could not be near her without fury bubbling through my veins; and that was a dangerous situation to be in. Not to mention difficult, because, Tyr had grown angry with me for my outburst at Seren, and how could I blame him? The fear within her eyes was one of terror. No matter the hate or resentment I may feel for that girl, she should not fear me. No woman should fear me.I think of my mother, and the very thought of her fearing a man, and the thought infuriates me. No woman should be made to feel like that. So, I decided, that because being around Seren was evidently causing me to lose my temper, I should do all I could to avoid her. Stay away from her, and any place she was likely to be. I needed to find another focus.So, I went all in to the Beta training. This was going to be something I needed to do anyway. Soon enough I was to become the Beta of this fine pack

    Colton and I walked into the busy club, having used our fake ID in order to get in. The music was pounding, and both dancefloors were already filling up. We walked side by side making our way to one of the many bars situated within the club, more than read to start our night the right way. My friend gave me a sly smile as a beautiful women gave him the eye, and a stunning smile, as we made our way through the throngs of people. The look of excitement upon his face was a picture! Though she was quite the looker... maybe tonight could be a good night.“We are going to have fun, right?” Colton questioned as we reached the bar, having to queue for a moment, and I smiled. The excitement in his tone matched the excitment upon his face from moments ago. The smile from the passing beauty had clearly been quite the pick-me-up for my friend, and had certainly put a smile upon his face.“I sure hope so.” I looked around. The place was filled with guys our

    We had made our way to the dancefloor. The perfect opportunity for me to have my hands upon her curves... and she was most certainly not complaining. That beautiful smile was directed at me once again as her body inched closer to mine, the curve of her hips fitting perfectly against me, as she swayed her body in time to the music. Damn, could this girl move! She edged even closer, before she shimmied her way down my body, before moving back up again; driving me wild as she did.“Mmmm, you are so sexy…” I murmured into her ear.She flicked her long, curly black hair back as she looked up at me through her long dark lashes. Tracing a line on my torso once again with her fingertips. “Oh, is that right?” her fingers stopped at the waistband of my jeans.I swallowed heavily, she only had to allow her eyes to drift a little lower and she would see how much I was wanting this. Wanting her. I hooked my finger under her chin, taking control, and pulled her gaze to meet mine, before she saw wh

  • Fated but Hated   Chapter 17 - Seren

    I had chosen not to mention anything about Lachlan’s outburst to Cole. He was his best friend, after all. And I did not know that he would believe me. He had a habit of believing his friends over me. Brother or not, he seemed to take his friends’ words over his own sister's. So, when Cole asked me how it had gone with Lachlan I just smiled and told him everything went fine. My brother had clearly set out to help me when arranging that chat between Lachlan and I, so it was better for him to believe it had helped; when it truth it had done anything but...Truth be told, Lachlan's words had hurt me. I could not believe he thought that way of me, and it made me question so many things about myself. I checked in with my brother that day, and my Mum. Hating how small Lachlan had made me feel when he implied I had made the day we mourned the loss of my Dad all about me. That day was one we all found hard, and I needed to know that my family were okay. I needed them to know I was there for th

    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

  • Fated but Hated   Chapter 25 - Seren

    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

  • Fated but Hated   Chapter 24 - Seren

    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

  • 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,

    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 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

    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 19 - Lachlan

    I had finally coaxed Tyr out for a run along with my friends. He was becoming tiresome to live with. A wolf that I did not get along with was not the pairing I had envisioned when I had imagined meeting my wolf. I had imagined a wolf I could connect with. One who would become my support. Instead, I was given a wolf who could not be further from being supportive if he tried. He spent most of his time sulking in the nether regions of my mind blocking me out. Ignoring me, like a petulant teenager might…“So, how has Beta training been going?” Cole asked as we strode away from the treeline, walking back down toward the main area of pack. I smiled in his direction. This was my weekend away from my training, and I was not ashamed to say I was smashing it. All the preparation had put me in good stead. Thankfully my wolf had been present as and when needed throughout the training to allow me to do all that was expected of me; and I was more than confident I should

    Gripping Seren’s butt, and watching her whole body freeze, unsure what to do, made me stop for a moment… she didn’t know if she liked it… I am almost sure of it… there was a moment there she was unsure, I am certain… and the mixture of emotions rushing through me confused me. I released her body, and stepped away quickly. I hated the matebond we shared. It made things so much harder. It confused things. And that was without it being present on Seren's side yet...Thankfully, Marcus hadn’t seen any of the confusion, nor the gripping of her ass, so when she dashed away, making her excuse about having things to do, I could laugh, and make fun of her once again. “Making your excuses again, Ren? No shame in admitting you have no life, you know?"But, Seren did not even look back, she continued to rush across the path of pack, her long black hair twisted up into a neat bun today, and going off the bag swin
