The Unclaimed Mate Twelve
Cameron I watched Athena leave, and with every trace of excitement, I felt drained like water from spaghetti. I was doing everything I knew to make her see reason with me, but she didn’t even care about me.My mood was ruined by her blatant refusal, which made me think about forcing a bond by marking her. I couldn’t do that, though. Even though I was desperate to retain my father’s legacy, Athena was my mate, and I wanted a natural bond to form between us.The question was, how long could I wait? Fabian and Michael joined me, and after they noticed my sour mood, they were careful about what to say."Perhaps you should make yourself more likable to her; this bullying stuff might not be working. She seems tough as nails."Michael could be right. Perhaps it was time to channel more energy into winning her over. We headed to the soccer field as usual, and the cheerleaders joined us. They usually came once a week, and I wasn’t looking forward to it because of Jennifer, their leader. She
The Unclaimed Mate Thirteen
AthenaThe jealousy in my heart could not be contained, and I almost felt like exploding. I knew that I was being petty and was consciously encouraging myself to bother about Cameron, but I couldn’t help myself.The new guy, Ivan, sat beside me, and I was extremely happy that he was a hybrid. I knew immediately that he had something I did the moment our eyes met, and he made things easier by introducing himself as a hybrid. I was glad that, finally, I was getting to meet someone like me who understood all my struggles and could relate to them all.Seeing Cameron and Mia sitting opposite us just made me feel pissed off.“Are you okay?” Ivan, who immediately noticed the switch in my mood, asked, and I could only manage a nod.He tried to continue talking about other stuff, as we couldn’t talk about having witch blood in public, but the energy wasn’t the same as before Cameron came to the class.“Do you have a thing for him?” Ivan asked out of the blue, and I swallowed hard before turnin
The Unclaimed Mate Fourteen
AthenaIvan begged me, just as Caleb used to beg me at home to take him on my midnight magic encounters.I would've said no, but I agreed because I needed a distraction from thinking about Mia, and I didn’t want to be around when she got back from the date and make things even more awkward. Secondly, Ivan had sworn on his life that he found a secluded valley where no one would ever catch us. And I kind of missed spinning magic- it always helped with my mood swings."Fine, I’ll meet you at the general quadrangle," I told him. I grabbed the things I needed, tossed them into my bag, and grabbed my cloak.Ivan was waiting for me with a broad grin. His long blonde hair cascaded down his back, giving him a Scandinavian look."Your Royal Highness," he bowed playfully. "I can’t wait to learn at your feet.""Let’s go, silly," I laughed. "I hope I don’t regret this."Hand in hand, we headed to the valley, and I gasped in awe at the breathtaking setting."How did you even find this place? It lo
The Unclaimed Mate Fifteen
Cameron "Guys, I can’t stand him near her," I complained to Fabian and Michael. "He’s always with her. Do you see the way he looks at her? Why the hell does she even tolerate him? She won't even talk to me, and to make matters worse, he’s in my fucking dorm, so I have to see him every damn morning.""Relax," Michael laughed, which even got me angrier. That Ivan dude was so infuriating —he wasn’t afraid of me or my threats and showed that I wasn't intimidating him."How can I relax when someone’s taking what belongs to me? Things would be worse if my dad found out that I have found my mate.' If he and the other government council discover this, Athena and her family will have no choice but to accept the bond. But I’ve been trying to be patient to get her to like me, and she doesn’t even want to stand near me.""I have a theory," Fabian said and took off his shoes. His socks reeked, making Michael scrunch up his nose, but my pet peeves seemed insignificant compared to the anger I felt.
The Unclaimed Mate Sixteen
Athena"I swear if you tell me to calm down one more time, I’ll fucking wring your neck," Mia warned, wagging her finger in my face.She was in a rage, and I tried to get her to sit on the bench under the staircase."Who the hell does she think she is?" She complained, her face and breath growing ragged.I looked around to make sure we were alone since we couldn’t discuss Jennifer in public. All the girls seemed to be sucking up to her.While I remained calm, listening to Mia, I couldn’t help but think about what Jennifer had said earlier. My thoughts were almost drowned out by the faint thread of hysteria in Cameron’s eyes. He was trying hard to hide his confusion, making me wonder if Jennifer had some power over him.How was that possible if Cameron‘s dad was a king? I tried to make sense of the events, but nothing added up"Are you even listening to me?" Mia shook my arm, snapping me out of my thoughts."You said you want Jennifer to disappear, but asking me to levitate and harm he
The Unclaimed Mate Seventeen
Athena Joining the chemistry club wasn't a mistake, and I genuinely enjoyed being there. I stood at my workstation, measuring out 25 mL of clear sodium hydroxide solution into a beaker, and sneezed as the faint tang of chemicals wafted through my nose. The lab was quiet except for the soft wash of gas burners and the occasional beep of a digital scale.I focused intently on the task at hand, working on bonding and reactions. When the sodium transitioned into pink, I smiled and recorded my observations in my notebook.“You’re doing great,” Miss Vera said, circulating around the room. “Excellent work.”“Thank you,” I responded with a smile, while listening to a lame chemistry joke one of the boys was telling his friends.“Why did the acid and base go on a date? Because they wanted to see if they had a ‘neutral’ connection.”Everyone else burst into laughter except me. I wondered if I was strange for not getting the humor.“Why did the molecule lose his girlfriend? Because he was always
The Unclaimed Mate Eighteen
Cameron Anger mixed with raw, wild need shone in Athena’s eyes. I couldn’t stop gazing at her lips; they seemed well-moisturized and luscious.Thinking about it made my breath ragged in my ears. I wanted to kiss her badly. We were in our little bubble, and her thick lashes fluttered closed, and when they opened again, her eyes were full of heat.I imagined sweeping her into my arms with an earth-shattering kiss, where our lips would meet in a wet, hot slide.My thoughts were fucking intense these days. I always imagined us kissing, pounding, and tearing at each other, and then leaving her spent, well-pleasured, and deliciously sore. I wondered if she liked it hard or soft.She kept acting as if she wasn’t affected by me, and that made me cackle with amusement.Miss Vera rushed towards me, making me peel my gaze away from Athena. She guided me to the lab's stainless steel sink, probably scared that my dad would punish her.Her trembling hands turned on the water faucet to treat the ch
The Unclaimed Mate Nineteen
AthenaI soaked in the bath salts-infused water and the bubbles tickled my skin, making shower time a rare moment of relaxation. It was a rare moment where I could clear my mind.I closed my eyes, attempting to relax, but my mind wandered and I began to feel a deep and unexplainable longing for Cameron and how his gaze locked onto mine in the chemistry lab.It had been a while since I last saw him, and I wondered why. What bothered me more was that I was annoyed with myself for caring. I wondered if the ointment didn’t work on him or something else was keeping him away. “What is wrong with you, Athena? Stop obsessing over him,” I said out loud, but his face lingered in my mind.There was a huge obstacle standing between me and my desire, and I knew my dream would never come true. The sensible thing to do was to deny my feelings and desires. I didn’t want to be responsible for anyone’s death.Was I falling in love with him? The thought sent a shiver down my spine. The water began to l
