The Omega Mate He Despised Seducing the enemy
Chapter 87 Iris Fortunately, I had a room to myself so I had my privacy. Elda might have done that so that he would have the liberty of not being questioned, but he didn't know how much he helped me. A weak Hazel stumbled into my room the next morning and collapsed on the bed. My anger and frustration were temporarily forgotten as I rushed to her. "What is the matter? Were you drugged as well?" I asked, worriedly. "Yes," She nodded then tried to sit up. "Hegar... Where is Hegar?" Her voice was shrill, almost inaudible and it hurt me that my vibrant friend had turned to the shadow of herself in less than twenty-four hours. I pulled her into my arms and caressed her head tenderly. "Hegar will be fine. I'm sure he's trying to get Gradel out of that horrible place so don't worry about him too much, alright?" She lifted her face and stared at me with so much expectation. "Are you sure? He said that he would come but he isn't here..." She trailed off. Her eyelids were closing and he
The Omega Mate He Despised Hurting him again
Chapter 88IrisHis face turned blank and I almost regretted making the request, but it was too late because the words had left my lips and I could only leave his room unharmed by convincing him.He peered at me, his dark orbs boring into mine with glints of doubt. I was done for."What are you talking about?" His voice was deceptively calm.If I didn't know him before now, I'd have thought we were already seeing eye to eye on the subject but then did I really know him well? From being my bodyguard, he had overthrown my mate and even found a way to make me his Luna.If I survived this, I'd be sure to never undermine anyone again."Ummm, let me explain it to you..." I chuckled, nervously, tucking my hair behind my ear while I avoided his piercing gaze. "Don't you think it will break him further if I'm the one inflicting pain on him? I mean, I've already betrayed him but he'd be more contrite and depressed when I insistently prove to him that we are over and I don't care about his exist
The Omega Mate He Despised A devious plan
Chapter 89IrisA sob burst out of my throat after I walked some meters away from the pack house and I crumbled onto the ground, my body trembling as I held back the urge to scream my lungs out in pain."Please help me, moon goddess. Help me to help him," I cried bitterly.Truly I needed her help because the ache that gnawed in my chest on seeing Gradel's weak and helpless state grew with more intensity, prompting me to act faster.I had to find Silas no matter what it would take me and it had to be now.Still covered with my veil, I sauntered across the garden and sneaked out through the small gate that was meant for an emergency exit. Strangely, no guard was posted there but I didn't care because it was to my advantage.I'd never been to his place before as there was no need to visit him and I doubted if he'd still be there. Elda had succeeded in turning everyone away from Gradel and if Silas had any sense, he wouldn't be in this pack.And that posed a problem because I didn't know
The Omega Mate He Despised Finding Silas
Chapter 90IrisI sat patiently in the secluded area of the downtown bar, slowly sipping a bottle of red wine. I'd have gone for something stronger but I wanted to be in the right frame of mind while interrogating the person that I'd invited. She showed up almost immediately, clutching onto her veil and sparing backward glances as if she had a stalker trailing her, but I'd ensured that no one would find me here or my guest. Her eyes widened when she noticed that I was the one and she almost bolted away but stopped herself, knowing what would be the consequences if she attempted to. "Good afternoon, Luna" She bowed, her voice shaky. "I didn't know it was you," She sounded horrified. I let out a chuckle and nudged her to take a seat. She lowered herself onto the chair reluctantly, biting her lips while throwing a cursory glance around. "If you had known that it was me you wouldn't be here right now," I took another sip, enjoying the look of uncertainty and fear on her face. She wa
The Omega Mate He Despised The antidote
Chapter 91Iris"I never thought I'd see you again," I said to Silas.We were seated in a hut close to the Illyra with Hegar leaning on the doorframe. He had offered to keep watch while Silas and I discussed and I couldn't thank him enough for it.Elda knew about the Illyra and if he found out that about my sneaky movements, I would never have the chance to rescue the pack from him."Had to hide," He responded with a husky voice and downed a bottle of water. "I should have stopped Elda from coming into this pack but I thought that he wouldn't stir up any trouble. I guess I was too short-sighted," He lamented."You knew that he was Gradel's cousin even before he pretended to act like a thief and you didn't say anything? Why?" I blasted him.He massaged his wrinkled forehead. "I regret it so much. Initially, I thought he had good intentions for the pack until he started killing people. Unfortunately, the day I made up my mind to tell the Prince about it, he had already struck and I've b
The Omega Mate He Despised Twenty-four hours
Chapter 92IrisHis voice sounded familiar but I couldn't tell where I heard it from so I continued the chase, intentionally pissing him off until he loses his temper and reveals himself."And you think I'll just hand over the bag to you because you asked for it? You must really be delusional," I cackled.He lurched at me, throwing a punch but I was quick to stop his hand midway from landing on me. With an unimaginable strength I didn't know I had, I tightened my grip on him and flung him over.A satisfying crack resonated in the air, coming from a dislocation that occurred in his arm. He groaned, gritting his teeth in pain but he managed to keep himself from wincing loudly."What? You thought I was that weak and powerless girl you used to know?" I teased him."Well, I made a mistake of undermining your strength, but you've forgotten that I'm a man and I can take you down here in less than a minute without anyone coming to save you so why don't you hand the bag over?" He snarled.I co
The Omega Mate He Despised Getting better
Chapter 93IrisI headed straight to the kitchen the moment I stepped into the pack house with the maids scurrying around to find out what they could help me with.At least, they weren't gossiping thoughtlessly when I met them, but I couldn't care less.I put up an unsmiling facade and stopped at the counter. "Maria, get me the passionflower herb and Kiwi fruit I need to make juice with it," I ordered.She stared at me like I'd developed two heads but when she saw that I wasn't going to repeat myself twice, she bowed and did as I ordered.As I was returning to the pack house while pondering on how to get the antidote across to Gradel without raising any suspicion, a strange idea dropped in my mind.My only wish was to execute my plan perfectly.Some minutes later, two bottles of the fruit drink were prepared and I took them to my room. Hazel was seated on the bed, her eyes trained on the book before her."Hi, friend," I greeted, excited to see her in a better position. "When did you w
The Omega Mate He Despised Be Alpha again
Chapter 94GradelMy eyes flew open and immediately I knew that I was no longer alone. I turned around to the other side and found a pair of brown eyes peering down at me intensely.I sat up abruptly, my heart racing faster in surprise and at the same time because of my quick movement."What are you doing here?" I asked, not knowing whether to be happy or angry that she was here by this time of the night when everyone else was sleeping. "How were you even able to get in?"My voice did nothing to conceal my worries and I didn't like it. After how we ended the last time, my heart wasn't supposed be bursting with concern for her, but here I was, still wanting to protect her.Damn this mating bond!She traipsed toward me, slowly but gracefully, crouching and dangling the door's keys before my eyes. "I did what I had to do and fortunately, it wasn't hard convincing the guard to take a harmless herbal tea," She chuckled and dropped the bottle in her hands."You have answered the second ques

The Omega Mate He Despised Epilogue—The family reunion
Chapter 107IrisONE YEAR LATER"Maria, are the sweets ready?" I shouted, standing before the edge of the baluster.Gradel and I had planned a family reunion and I couldn't wait for everyone we considered family to start trooping in. Devin had gotten a mate about three months back and I kept wondering how he got her pregnant in less than two months. I'd so tease him about it once he comes around. Hazel and Hegar had been on sabbatical leave for a while so I had to plead with Hegar to release her since I was nearing at the time of delivery. I was both excited and filled with panic and I honestly couldn't understand how I managed both extreme emotions. Gradel kept reassuring me that I wouldn't encounter any issues, but after hearing stories of women who faced several complications, his words would just fall on deaf ears."Watch it, princess," A firm grip stopped me from tripping over when I swirled around without looking.I smiled and fiddled with his stubble. "Thank you for always be
The Omega Mate He Despised Forgiveness and reconciliation
Chapter 106IrisONE MONTH LATERThe sky was quite gloomy, the dark clouds threatening to turn the day into a rainy one. We should have stayed back in the house and cuddled all day, but there was something important to be done, and that was visiting the late Alpha Cronus's grave.I stood beside Gradel, whose shoulders were squared, taut, showing how uneasy it was for him to be present here. If it was possible, I'd have suggested that we return home and come back when he was more comfortable, but he was as stubborn as a mule so I let him. We stood in silence for a while and then he cleared his throat. I touched his shoulder lightly and some of the tension dissipated. "I guess I'll have to leave you alone with him. Call on me when you're done," I informed him and turned around to leave. But he grabbed my wrist swiftly and tenderly, prohibiting me from taking any other step. With a low tone, he said. "Stay with me. I want you to be here with me while I reconcile with my father," He s
The Omega Mate He Despised The reward of loyalty
Chapter 105HazelMy heart throbbed in pain as I hugged my pillow tightly, genuinely wishing that it could be exchanged with the competent arms of Hegar. I was beginning to get offended. Why hadn't he checked on me, yet? What could have kept him so busy that he didn't bother to ask after me to know if I was doing well or not? Iris kept assuring me that he still loved me and he'd come for me soon, but was it too early to lose hope?A knock sounded on the door, jolting me from my reverie and an irritated sigh exited my lips. Hunger pangs gnawed in my stomach and the last thing I wanted was for anyone to drag me out of the room unnecessarily.Sluggishly, I twisted the doorknob and pushed the door open and immediately, I froze. My breathing paused for a moment and I could tell that the world had stopped rotating.Hegar stood before gracefully me, smelling like an edible flower. His lips spread into a wide grin and he splayed his arms, urging me to come closer to him. Several emotions ra
The Omega Mate He Despised Ending it all
Chapter 104 Gradel Inhaling the floral fragrance of my mate and enjoying the warmth of being in her arms was very tempting, but until I took my pound of flesh and ensured that the monster Elda wouldn't be a threat to anyone in the pack again, I wouldn't be at rest. Gently, I slithered from her embrace, feeling cold almost immediately and then I pushed the covers over her body and gazed lovingly at her beautiful lips that were pouted as if she was aware of my plans to be absent for a while. My heart skipped a beat when she stirred and calmed when she turned to the other side. I giggled lightly and put on a black vest and a pair of black sweatpants. After ascertaining that she was still deep asleep, I crept out of the room and shut the door quietly behind me, veering toward the same pack cell he had locked me in. He grinned cynically the moment I stepped in though I could see the faint marks of the strokes he had received from Hegar. After the fiasco last night, I'd asked the sent
The Omega Mate He Despised I need you
Chapter 103Iris"Not today," I murmured through gritted teeth.Tonight, I didn't need saving; not from Gradel whom I knew was seconds away from bursting through that door to fight for me or Hegar who I guessed was around.My wolf was around growling, desiring to be freed from the cage it was in and right now, I'd have to do as she wanted."Tell him to let her go right now," Gradel demanded authoritatively.Elda snorted and spat some blood on the ground. "Sure, but we have to do some trade by barter kind of business before that. First, you'll let me out of here without unharmed. Secondly, I stink and I can't walk around, oozing animal blood so your dear mate will have to clean me up,""That isn't going to happen," Gradel disagreed in the shadows.He laughed briefly and glanced at the man behind me. "Alright then. Watch her die,""Wait—"My claws had already stretched out and before Gradel could complete his statement, I'd dug them into his skin. The knife fell off his hands and I quic
The Omega Mate He Despised Gradel's comeback
Chapter 102IrisFear took a strong hold over me after he muttered those words and I instinctively clutched onto my neck, intentionally avoiding his gaze.I drew in a very deep breath and exhaled. "That's a huge accusation to lay on me tonight, Elda. We are supposed to be celebrating," I replied with a surprisingly calm tone.That was a good thing because I planned to deny every claim he'd lay against me until I found a way to reach Eliana."I thought the same until I removed the mask from that girl's face and realized that you weren't the one who seduced me. So what did you promise her? That she and her family will be safe? Come on, Iris, what power do you have without me?" He asked with a derisive tone.A deep feeling of dread stirred in my stomach, my knees weakening. No matter what happened, I couldn't allow her family to be caught up in this plan."You can't hurt her family, Elda. What fun do you have in hurting innocent people?" I asked through gritted teeth.He chuckled lightly
The Omega Mate He Despised A caught
Chapter 101Author's POVHer eyes widened, nearly falling out of their sockets and she clamped her lips shut, her heart pounding hard against her chest in trepidation while he violently snatched the knife from her and got up. She gasped, wondering how she messed it up just at the point of achieving her goal and a tear slid down her cheek because she knew she wouldn't be getting out of this alive.Elda burst into a heavy peal of laughter that was filled with intense mockery and threw her effortlessly over him. Then he rose, zipping his slacks and turning on the light."You aren't Iris, are you?" He asked but she didn't respond.Enraged, he crossed over to her and yanked the mask off her face, her hair falling out of the messy bun she packed it in. A deep scowl formed on Elda's face and he clenched his jaw, balling his fingers into a tight fist."Eliana, you're that girl I banged a few weeks ago, right?" He barked."I wish I was fast enough in killing you," She retorted spitefully. "At
The Omega Mate He Despised Taking action
Chapter 100Author's POV She lay on the bed, still and scared, her heart racing faster than sports cars in a race but she had made her choice and that was to end the man who had wrecked her life with her hands, even if her life was on the line.Iris had told her to disarm him but she had other plans as she didn't want him to continue creating havoc in the pack.Her mask was still on her face and she wore a wig that was exactly like Iris' hair to confuse him, and the turned-off light was to her advantage. The door was pushed open and the light from the hallway shone into the room, showing Elda's drunk figure. The feast wasn't in full session yet and he had already filled his system with alcohol. It would make things easier for her, she thought. Elda squinted his eyes and his lips stretched into a cynical smirk when he caught the sight of a seductively dressed woman whom he thought to be Iris lying on the bed. "Hey, woman. I thought you wanted to tear me into pieces several hours a
The Omega Mate He Despised The meeting
Chapter 99GradelWe wandered into the forest, my body smeared with blood. Thankfully, I sustained no injuries from convincing Elda's men to defect to my camp.Along the line, my eyes caught the sight of a figure walking toward us and I paused to make out who the person was. Though I had no direction, I wasn't expecting anyone else to be there.As the person drew close, I realized that it was a man and he looked familiar."Hold your horses," I said to them and they halted behind me.I squinted my eyes, waiting patiently for him to get closer and happiness coursed through me when I noticed that it was no one else but Hegar."Hegar?" I called out his name and he peered at me, his eyes widening in surprise.He also froze on his steps and after a brief scrutiny, he broke into a run and bumped into me for a hug. We stayed glued to each other until I remembered that weren't alone."Gradel, is this really you? How were you able to leave that cell without risking your life?" He questioned wit
