All Chapters of Despicable Mate: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

KIARA’S POVI groaned as I tossed in my bed. The bright light streaming from the window made it impossible to remain asleep. How I wished I could be lost in the soothing darkness forever.A wave of piercing sensation made me realize that sleeping for a long time would remain just that, a dream. It was a miracle that I had managed to sleep the previous night.A long, suffering, groan escaped my mouth as I pulled myself up. Massaging my head with one hand, I drew the sheets closer around me.Forcing myself to crack open my eyelids, I swept my eyes around my bedroom. The peeling paints, cracked walls, and low wooden ceiling; not exactly ideal but I was glad they let me have my own room.Thuk! Thuk! Thuk! Thuk!.... the distinct creaking of the wooden floorboards hit my head like a hammer. A shudder coursed through me when I realized that it was a Sunday.Bile rose in my throat and I rushed to the bathroom. The queazy sensation in my stomac

KIARA’S POVExhaling deeply, I threw the brown paper bag on my bed. I was about to hop into the bathroom when my phone rang.My heart skipped a beat when I saw the caller Id. The phone almost slipped out of my hand as I tried to pick it up in a haste.My voice shook slightly as I rasped, “Hello.”“Honey… what took you so long to pick up my call?”I licked my dry lips and stuttered, “I…I… was walking… I didn’t realize that…”“Next time, I expect you to answer at the first ring, is that clear?”I nodded but then I realized she couldn’t se

KEVIN’S POVI was waiting for my drink when I sensed someone’s stare. The urge to turn around and look was so strong, almost as if I was drawn by an invisible force. I sucked in my breath when my eyes landed on the gorgeous girl in front of me. She was the one who had dominated my thoughts all this while. In the long, black gown she looked like the moon goddess had descended on earth wrapped in the star-studded sky. I walked towards her as if my body had a mind of its own. I inhaled deeply as the distinct fragrance of pine and cherries assaulted me. The scent calmed and comforted an ache in my heart which I didn’t know was present.Four words popped in my mind the moment our eyes met, ‘Mate, love, protect, honor.’

CHAPTER SEVENKEVIN’S POV I remained seated on the ground long after the guests had left. I was at a loss…Warmth flowed through me as I sensed my mother’s hand on my shoulder. I raised my head to meet her kind, concerned eyes.She sat beside me and held my hand, wordlessly comforting me. This gave me time to gather my thoughts.I don’t know how long we sat like that. When I felt like I was ready to talk, I muttered, “What should I do mom? I feel like an utter failure…”She smiled at me and said, “Go and talk to your mate.”“I can’t just go and talk to her after what she said…”Mom let out a long, deep sigh. “Don’t let your ego ruin this relationship before it even begins…”“What ego? I don’t…” I stopped mid-sentence when I realized that probably mom was rig

KEVIN’S POV I drew in a deep breath before knocking at the glass door of my father’s cabin. My heartbeat accelerated as time ticked by. When he didn’t reply for long, I knocked again; a bit louder. “Dad, did you call for me?”“Hmm… come in…” He muttered. If it wasn’t for my extraordinary hearing, I wouldn’t have caught it.I hesitated slightly before entering. Our relationship had become slightly strained after Kiara tipped our competitors.  The door swung open with a creak to reveal my father and Risha sitting opposite each other.“When did you come, Rishu?” I asked, sitting on the chair beside her.She crossed her arms and glared at me before turning to Dad. “Alpha, you have to decide right now! I can’t go to the same college as Kiara.”I placed my hand on hers and asked, “Don’t overreact, Kiara.
