Hated By My Hockey Alpha Mate 27
JUSTINI stumbled into the house, still upset with Astrid. For some reason, my mind kept going back to her and while I was furious, there was a lingering worry in my heart. She had been stupid enough to leave the pack alone to go search for whatever she wanted to and while that was a stupid move on her part and extremely reckless, I couldn't stop worrying about her even when I refused to let myself care for her. “Justin…” I looked up to see my father seated in the living room. This was odd as he was either always in his office or bedroom with my mother. “We need to talk for a moment, son.” He said to me, I watched his expression and saw that he did seem to have a lot on his mind as well. I walked further into the room before noticing there was someone else in the room. Astrid's father. I raised a brow, then frowned but didn't say anything. “I'll give you two some space.” My father-in-law spoke but my father was quick to stop him. “No, you should be here. This involves her too…” Her

ASTRIDI couldn't help but wonder if my mother-in-law actually knew the kind of person Asta was. I was certain she wouldn't be smiling at her if she knew she had walked in with a murderer. Asta, on the other hand, was smiling with a crazed look on her face. I hadn't noticed just how insane she actually looked when she smiled before but now it was clear as day. The evil was there to see if you knew what you were searching for. My heart was in my throat, and I could feel it becoming a bigger knot by the second. What did they want with me now? I wondered. My breath hitched when Justin’s mother walked over to me. As she bent close to my ear, I saw the smile she had come in with slip but she covered it up immediately with a brighter one. “Oh, Astrid, how are you feeling now dear?” She faked a concern that I was sure even Asta could tell was not real. “I hope you’re feeling a lot better…” I was stunned for a second and couldn't process what this was all about. Was she being nice to me be

JUSTINI waited by the door, trying to see if Asta was going to do anything since neither of them had seen me at first but the tears rapidly falling from Astrid's face spurred me and I walked in. “Asta. What are you doing here?”I saw Asta freeze for a moment before saying something to Astrid who looked absolutely terrified. I couldn't hear what was being said but if Astrid really thought Asta was the killer, then this had to be traumatizing for her. It was obvious that she needed help but couldn't say anything, no doubt that that was Asta’s idea if Astrid had been telling the truth. “I just came by for a little chat with Astrid. You know, to remind her of the past.” She threw a glance at Astrid who looked like she was minutes away from crying out in pain. Why does it feel like she’s lying? Something was wrong with Astrid but I couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was. My heart squeezed painfully, mirroring the pain she felt and I wondered what that was about. I walked to the side of

ASTRIDI sat up straight when the doctor came in. He was here to check my vitals like he had promised to. I was relieved to see that most of the injuries had healed up and the rest were on the process as well. “Your vitals are good, Astrid. I think its safe enough for you to be discharged today.” Oh thank Goddess. I was starting to hate the hospital now. “All you have to do is make sure you rest a lot and stay protected since you're almost always in danger.” I nodded at the doctor's instructions but I knew well enough that rest was not a luxury I could afford at the moment, especially with my mother-in-law set to make matters worse for me.“This means I can take her home with me right now, yes?” Justin asked from where he was perched at the edge of the bed. He hadn't left since he told me about the deal and I didn't know how to feel about his continuous presence. It seemed like he would always be with me from now on and the thought of that did not sit well with me.I knew that the mi

JUSTINI dropped to the bed, not uttering a sound. What happened earlier ran through my mind. I didn't want her here for any other reasons other than what would be beneficial for both of us if this plan was going to work. She’s supposed to be here so I would be able to keep an eye on her and also so no one would be able to find out about our plans. How was I supposed to protect her when she didn't want to be here? Also, it would be very suspicious of I met her outside of the house. There were bound to be wrong ideas sprouting, ideas we wouldn't be able to dispute without raising more suspicions. However, I couldn't take not seeing her. Other than the need to protect her, I had this growing sense of need ever since my father asked me to mate with her. It was almost like I wanted her and the thought of that made my wolf excited. Heck, it made me excited too. I just couldn't give in to the need. I mustn't. Not wanting to dwell on these new feelings, I left my room. Maybe if I caught

ASTRIDIt was officially obvious that Justin had lost his mind. He didn't seem to know what he was doing as I tried to push him off me. He wouldn't budge no matter how hard I pushed. Instead of getting off me, he raised a hand and I flinched, worried he was going to hit me but he used it to cup my neck instead. My heart raced at the thought of what was going to happen and I wanted to shake my head, but couldn't as there was no space to. This can't be happening. I thought. It was unlikely that it would happen. He hated me and I hated him for everything he had put me through. How would this happen between us?His lips were mere inches away from mine and I knew I had to do something or at least say something. “Do you really want to kiss the girl who killed your mate?” Like always, the words had an effect on him and he snapped out of whatever had been going on with him. He backed away from me, angry. I preferred his anger to whatever had been going on earlier. “Get out of my room.” I
Hated By My Hockey Alpha Mate 33
JUSTINI didn't like the idea but there was nothing I could do about it. That was the only one that we had that could even remotely work at the moment. I had thought about it and drew up blank every time. There was nothing I could do about it but to go with her idea. Bodies were dropping too frequently and I had to put an end to this. And Astrid? Goddess knew she knew just how to drive me crazy. I had been so close to kissing her last night and I would have if she hadn't reminded me that she was the one who killed Audrey. I hated the fact that I had lost control, even the littlest bit. It didn't make any sense that I even considered it but it had gotten to the point where I couldn't deny the fact that I wanted her anymore. I wanted her more than I should and I couldn't pinpoint exactly when that had happened. All I knew was that I had seriously begun to consider if I actually wanted to divorce her. Did I want to? Our deal, which I had drafted out, meant we had to, what then was this
Hated By My Hockey Alpha Mate 34
ASTRID I think I might be sick. There were so many emotions running through me right now and they all made me nauseous. I had been a bundle of nerves all night and it was finally the day I would have to go through with the plans I had set. Hopefully, it would all be over soon.A commotion outside the door told me what I needed to know before I saw him. Justin had come too early and specifically, he had come here too early. Why was he even here in the first place? I was meant to meet him in school. He’s not here to back out of our deal is he?He darkened the door and I could already hear the whispers. This was going to be a long day. Before I could stand up, he gathered me in his arms and left the staff quarters without a single care that everyone else was watching. My face burned with heat it had no business getting and I hid my face in his chest in embarrassment and the voices grew louder.It was going to be hard coming back here after all these.That was the first time he did somet
