All Chapters of Alpha Arthur’s Hated Mate: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Arthur’s POV:“Are you okay?” Lila asked from my side and I cleared my throat, clenching and unclenching my fist, trying to get myself to stay focused on the road in front of me.“Of course, I am. Why do you ask?” I responded, taking my eyes off the road for a couple of seconds to throw a smile her way. “Well for one, you’ve not said a word to me in thirty minutes, you keep clenching and unclenching your fists, you look stiff and like you’re about to snap something in half, and let’s not forget how you treated in your house a couple of nights ago.” She said and I sighed heavily trying to get all my raging emotions under control. “Look Lila, I’m sorry okay. Things have just been getting overwhelming for me lately and I’m just trying to find a balance. I’m trying to find the best middle ground for everything.” “So I have been overwhelming? What did I do?” She asked and I sighed heavily, rolling my eyes. That was the thing with Lila, she was always a pain in my butt. She didn’t know

Jessy’s POV: I dashed out of the office to find one of the boys that I had found when I came in on the floor, while the other had a hand covering his face from where he had been hit no doubt.“You worthless piece of shit! How dare you question me? You should be grateful I even let you breathe. You're both nothing without me, how dare you question me? Have you lost your mind? I should hit you again for tha-” the man began saying again, moving to make good on his threat. “Not here. As much as I want to hit you for doing this, I know it's not going to work out well for me so get out of this place and the boys are welcome back any time but you're banned from this place. I don’t want to ever see your face again. Get out.” Michelle said and the man turned angry eyes towards her. He began stalking towards the older woman and I moved to stand in front of her. Taking my best threatening stance, my days of training with my father came to the front of my mind. “She already asked you to leave

Jessy’s POV: My steady breathing did nothing to reduce the rapid palpitation of my heart. Why hadn’t Lila mentioned it? I crossed my fingers, willing myself to act nonchalant. “Woah, relax. It’s nothing too intense, besides, it doesn’t happen often.” Stephen said, obviously noticing my worried expression. I forced a light scoff, “Sorry, I just detest any kind of physical activity.” “I can tell.” He said, tugging me lightly into his arms, “I’m sure you’d be fine. Also, I can’t wait to see you in all your beauty.” I shrugged away from his grasp, his last sentence upsetting me in a way I was certain he hadn’t intended. “Let me walk you out.” I managed to say, clearing my throat as I gestured towards the door. He said nothing in protest, simply held the door open as he followed my lead. The sky was now dark and the streets were only illuminated by the street lamps that stood at either side of the roads. The light caught on Stephan’s face and his boyish and handsome features surp

Jessy’s POV: I flipped my eyes open and the ease I felt was one that I was starting to get used to. Coming here was a good idea and I was starting to feel it. I flipped open my eyes and the darkness in the room greeted me. Although I didn’t have a wolf my senses were still pretty sharp and I easily adjusted to the darkness in the room. I knew that it was still pretty early but I felt rested enough already and so I sat up in bed before reaching to turn on the lamp beside the bed. The dim lights flooded the room and I pulled my phone out of charging before going through my texts. There were a couple from my brothers and my father had also sent me a message, he was doing better than I expected and I was impressed that he was actually letting me be. I scrolled further down and found a text from Stephen. It was a simple message asking how I was doing and it made me smile. I had gone to bed earlier last night and that was why I missed the text in the first place but since I started wor

JessyThe café was almost empty, save for a few occupied tables. I bent over, humming a familiar tune as I wiped a table. The sound of the bell rang out faintly in my mind, announcing the entrance of someone. I straightened, turning as soon as the customer's chair scraped across the floor, I looked up from where I stood and locked eyes with Stephen.He was sitting, facing me with a wide grin etched on his face. His hair seemed slightly disheveled but for some weird reasons, I found that adorable. Stephen got to his feet, placing a pair of dark shades on the table. “You’re on time.” I greeted, walking into his open arms as I soaked in the warmth of his embrace.He stole a glance at the leather piece strapped to his wrist, “Actually, I’m seven minutes early.” His lips brushed against my hair as he spoke and I smiled. He had texted me earlier in the day to ask if we could hang out at my place right after work hours and I had said yes. Lila wouldn’t be home just yet and I could use a l
