All Chapters of Hated By My Hockey Alpha Mate: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

JUSTINI dropped to the bed, not uttering a sound. What happened earlier ran through my mind. I didn't want her here for any other reasons other than what would be beneficial for both of us if this plan was going to work. She’s supposed to be here so I would be able to keep an eye on her and also so no one would be able to find out about our plans. How was I supposed to protect her when she didn't want to be here? Also, it would be very suspicious of I met her outside of the house. There were bound to be wrong ideas sprouting, ideas we wouldn't be able to dispute without raising more suspicions. However, I couldn't take not seeing her. Other than the need to protect her, I had this growing sense of need ever since my father asked me to mate with her. It was almost like I wanted her and the thought of that made my wolf excited. Heck, it made me excited too. I just couldn't give in to the need. I mustn't. Not wanting to dwell on these new feelings, I left my room. Maybe if I caught

JUSTINI didn't like the idea but there was nothing I could do about it. That was the only one that we had that could even remotely work at the moment. I had thought about it and drew up blank every time. There was nothing I could do about it but to go with her idea. Bodies were dropping too frequently and I had to put an end to this. And Astrid? Goddess knew she knew just how to drive me crazy. I had been so close to kissing her last night and I would have if she hadn't reminded me that she was the one who killed Audrey. I hated the fact that I had lost control, even the littlest bit. It didn't make any sense that I even considered it but it had gotten to the point where I couldn't deny the fact that I wanted her anymore. I wanted her more than I should and I couldn't pinpoint exactly when that had happened. All I knew was that I had seriously begun to consider if I actually wanted to divorce her. Did I want to? Our deal, which I had drafted out, meant we had to, what then was this

ASTRID I couldn't believe he told people about it. Not just one person but multiple. For someone who was so secretive about our marriage, he had just ruined everything by telling people. “Wh–” Before I could scold him and talk his ear off about it, he raised a hand to stop me from talking.“They were bound to know anyway so it is best that I told them myself before they found out on their own. Also, with what we have planned, it would be hard to explain why I want them to protect you.” This should have just been between us.As soon as we got to school, I ran out of the car not waiting for him to completely stop. It was bad enough that everyone was already staring, it would be worse if they saw us walk in together.The rumors must have already spread, given the stares I was getting from people. I tried to ignore them but it felt like everyone was watching me and that made me scared. I felt vulnerable, exposed. Like they could read my thoughts.I ran into an empty class, looking for a

JUSTINI saw red. Everything that happened next was almost instantaneous and seemed to drag out at the same time.A roar I couldn't believe came from me ripped through my throat as I charged at Alden. I caught him unawares and when he turned to look at who had interrupted him, I held him by his shirt, making him let go of the rope before slamming him against the wall. I heard Astrid fall to the floor and I yelled over my shoulder to Jonah, without loosening my grip on Alden. “Check on Astrid.”Vaguely aware of Jonah answering to my request, I pulled Alden to the floor before sitting on him and punching the hell out of him. Every punch was fueled by anger and hurt. The fact that my best friend could do something like this to me made me even more angry than I ever have been. “How could you do this to me?” I yelled at him as I punched him. It made me even more angry that he wasn't looking remorseful. He looked to the side and smiled. He kept smiling until I looked in the direction he

JUSTINIt's been two weeks since Astrid fell into a coma and there's been no improvement. Although, as I had earlier resolved, I had stayed at the hospital all through, it was taking a toll on me. For the duration I had been in the hospital, I hadn't been to school and word had gone out in school about Astrid being my wife. Jonah came by regularly to fill me in on everything everyone was saying but I didn't care. I couldn't be bothered with that, not now that Astrid's life was on the line and I didn't know when she would wake. I told Jonah to shut them up since I didn't owe anyone any explanations. Despite being the Alpha, I wasn't allowed to see Astrid. Even when I tried to use the title card, I was strongly told off and even the doctor insisted that I shouldn't be allowed to see her. It made me recall the conversation I had with her parents two weeks ago. TWO WEEKS AGOI came back into the ward after I spoke to Jonah to see her parents by her side. They turned to see who came in
