“We were so close to leaving the hellhole behind us.” my sister whispered, and I couldn't help but nod. We had almost gotten out of freedom if my insufferable mate hadn't caught us. “What is his deal anyway? I thought he rejected you because he doesn't want you. He should have been glad you were leaving.” Juliet added, making me shrug. Though I didn't tell her, I know Carlos' reason for keeping me around. After all, he did sag the last time we talked. His wolf cares deeply for me. And I am sure Carlos is worried it may withdraw if it loses his mate and sees, and there is more hope. That would be awful, especially for an Alpha because it is their wolf entity that is actually strong. “For now we have to stay put.” I sighed, making Juliet grunt in discontent. “He will be watching us.” “I know.” She breathed, discarding her jacket, and climbed onto the bed next to me. I cuddled her closely, promising that it was just a matter of time before another opportunity presents itself and I will be able to get us the life that we deserve. If only I had known how wrong I was…********We woke up the next morning like nothing had happened the night before and got started on our chores. Carlos popped in the kitchen, perhaps to ensure we hadn't escaped after all. He skipped out as fast as he came. “He likes you,” Juliet stated with a frown.“It's his wolf,” I argued. Luckily, she didn't dwell on it for long, and we were able to go about our day. It was past noon when we heard a loud scream go up in the air. Juliet and I exchanged a curious gaze, but after a while of silence, we shrugged the whole thing and kept preparing lunch. We didn't want to risk the warriors coming back from their hunt and not find lunch ready. Another scream went up. Followed by multiple howls. It was alarming, and we couldn't ignore it any further. Curiously, Juliet and I decided to go outside and see what was up. The sight that met our eyes is something neither of us anticipated. A group of more than a hundred rogues were in the compound and warriors were trying to fight them off as civilians ran to safety. I guess nobody was thinking of us, 'cause no one even alerted us. “What are we going to do?” Juliet asked, looking around desperately. It was just a matter of time before the rogues scent us. It didn't help that we were the only ones around. “For now, nothing.” I rasped, pulling her tightly by my side. I steered her back slowly as our watchful gaze scanned the compound. And then we heard it. A dangerous growl behind us. I dreaded turning, but there was no way I could not. We came face to face with an angry, ugly-looking rogue snapping its canines, ready to lunge. I pushed Juliet behind me and shifted. The last thing I heard was Juliet's chilling scream and my mate's frightening howl.******I attempted to open my eyes, but I couldn't. And every part of my body ached. I groaned painfully and felt a presence beside me. “Cameron,” a shaky voice whispered hoarsely and in relief. Who is Cameron? I wondered. I know I have heard that voice before, but I couldn't place it. “Cam, baby, please open your eyes.” The same voice begged, caressing my face gently. I got more confused. It felt like it was me the voice was addressing, but my name is not… Wait, what's my name? Fuck! I can't remember.I needed to open my eyes and get some answers. After a struggle, I opened my eyes and I found a rather gorgeous fella towering over me. “Who are you?” I asked. He seemed taken aback by my question because he blinked, once twice, and then whispered. “It's me, Carlos,” “Carlos?” I frowned, darting my gaze around the room. I saw the Carlos guy beckon some woman. “Why doesn't he know who I am, Doc?” She stepped past him and came to hover over me instead. She had a tiny flashlight that she used to cause discomfort in my eyes before she began asking a million questions.“What's your name?”I could feel it at the back of my mind, but I just couldn't articulate it. So, I shook my head sadly. “Your name is Cameron Walker.” She said kindly. “I am sure it will come back to you in time.” She added just as my eyes began to water. “What do you remember?” Again nothing! And it was frustrating. The Carlos guy asked the doctor to let me rest and that perhaps I will regain whatever memories I had lost. “Who are you?” I asked him. He gazed at me for quite a while without saying a thing, and then I heard his voice in my head. “I am your mate, little one.” I jerked, wincing in the process. Surprisingly enough, I knew what a mate meant. But still, it didn't explain how I got into the position I am.“What happened to me?” Carlos looked away uncomfortably.“I didn't protect you.” He whispered shame-faced. “I almost lost you to the damn rogues.” Another term I was familiar with. “You were with me?” He shook his head sadly. “You were with your… yo… your… friend.” He stuttered. “Where is he?” I looked around the ravish room we were in, hoping to see this friend.“She died, Cameron.” He whispered. “Your friend died. I couldn't save her.” A heavy sadness settled in my heart. Indeed, I didn't remember who my friend was, but I felt pain. Immense pain. “What was her name?” “Juliet.”Related chapters
The Alpha's Omega Mate 6: More Bad News
CARLOSEver since I took over as the Alpha, bad things have been happening. First, it was my father, and now I almost lost Cameron. All because of the damn rogues. A word about the passing of the great Alpha of the Green Hill pack, aka my father, has spread, which puts our pack in the line of vision for unseen attacks. Four days ago, I was in the arena training when we heard a scream. Strangely enough, we weren't able to scent the vile creatures, which means they had masked their scents. And the most disturbing thing is they were able to break past our magical barrier unnoticed, which means they have to be dealing with a witch as well. And though Jeremy and our other witches have reinstated the boundary, I am still not confident that we won't get attacked again. It's a common thing when an Alpha dies and a younger person takes over. Challenges arise, both internal and external. Luckily, none of my pack members has attempted anything. Not even my brother. Looking at a clueless Cameron

CARLOSHow do I even begin answering that question? If I tell him no, and then he doesn't make it in the end, I will have lied to him in the last minutes of his life. Yet, I can't tell him perhaps, or maybe. That would just crush his spirit, and Luna knows he needs all the strength he can get to whatever fate throws in his way at this point. Beatrix did promise she would do her win best, but these things no one can give a hundred percent guarantee. “Carlos…” Cam croaked shakily. My silence may be more deadly than any answer I can give. “I am not losing you today, baby.” I grabbed his hand, squeezing it tight. “The doctor says you have to undergo another surgery today, but it's nothing to be worried about. You have the best doctor and I will be waiting here for you the whole time.” That didn't seem to convince him. I whispered, attempting to scoot closer and ended up wincing. His wounds were still raw. Hastily, I laid beside him and hugged him carefully. “Do you trust me?” Even as I
The Alpha's Omega Mate 1: Mate?
CAMERON I yawned, shutting my eyes, and stretched my tired self. The day had barely begun, but I was so ready to jump back into bed. It wasn't surprising, though, since my fourteen-year-old sister and I are basically the slaves in the Green Hill pack. “I hate my life,” my sister Juliet groaned beside me in the small bed we share. “Tell me about it,” I scoffed, getting off the bed and opened the small tattered curtain hanging on our almost non-existent window. I looked outside through the small opening and the sun was already out, which meant it wouldn't be long before someone came checking why we weren't in the kitchen yet, preparing breakfast for the warriors.I turned to my sister who was still in bed with a reassuring smile, "I promise once I turn eighteen we will leave this hellhole behind forever.” I had been planning on running away for a while, but I wanted to be of legal age first, to ensure I get a good footing in the human world. “Now get up before someone bursts in here,”
The Alpha's Omega Mate 2: Hope Perhaps?
CAMERON I increased my strides, wanting to put as much distance as possible between me and my supposed mate. What more could the Almighty Moon goddess throw my way? It wasn't enough that she had ripped our parents from us, leaving us to fend for ourselves in a cruel pack, but she also had to give me an asshole for a mate. I surely must be her beloved creation. I pushed the door to our room open more forcefully than I had intended, startling Juliet in the process. “Sorry,” I rasped grimly, sinking into the shaky bed with a heavy exhale. I slumped with my back on the said bed and just gazed at the dirty ceiling, contemplating my fate. “What happened?” My sister asked, slumping next to me. She shifted to her side, plopping her head up with an elbow, and loomed over me. I looked at her briefly, wondering if I will ever be able to give her a better life. “Cam…” she insisted, making me swallow nervously. “He is my mate,” I blurted nonchalantly, but the goddess knew I was everything but th
The Alpha's Omega Mate 3: Death
CARLOS I watched as my mate's lips opened and closed a couple of times, but for the life of me, I didn't hear a word that he said. I stopped listening when he asked me to help him disappear forever. His careless words cut deep, more than I would like to admit. My wolf was hauling insults at me for my inconsideration towards our mate. I looked at his knitted eyebrows as he stared at me expectantly, but I couldn't even tell him what he wanted to hear. “Absolutely not!” I growled haphazardly. He seemed taken aback by my outburst. He took an innate step back, narrowing his gorgeous hazel eyes on me. He had already condemned me in his mind. It was blatantly displayed on his face for me to see.“What do you want from me, Carlos?” He questioned exasperatedly, and I would be lying if I said hearing my name roll from his plump lips didn't jolt my cock awake. I took in a rushed breath and held his gaze. For his size, he was damn spirited. My wolf loved the fact that he wasn't intimidated by ove
The Alpha's Omega Mate 4: Alpha Card
CARLOSI should have known. And I feel like an idiot, for not suspecting this would happen after his ridiculous request, to help him disappear just the other day. I gripped a fist of my hair, pulling on it hard, as my wolf howled in sadness. I shuddered to think what would have happened, had I been a minute late. They would have probably disappeared into the darkness and never to be seen again. That thought brought with it immense anger, which I couldn't explain. I suddenly felt like I needed to hit something. Someone more preferably. “Explain yourself!” I bellowed, thinning my lips. Cameron didn't seem fazed by my outburst. In fact, he marveled at my audacity, if his statement that followed is anything to go by.“What gives you the right to sprout that jilted lover glare?” He yelled, surprising me and his sister, but not as much as he surprised himself as I observed. I gritted my teeth, narrowed my eyes, and swallowed hard. There was so much I wanted to say and ask, but with his siste
