All Chapters of Hated By My Hockey Alpha Mate: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

ASTRIDShould I wait for a while or ask him as soon as I see him?I was confused on what to do. I needed answers and there was absolutely no way I was going back to the alpha's house. I couldn't rule out the possibility of Justin tying me to his bed if he caught up to me in his house. I shuddered at the mental image of not being able to leave and being subjected to him alone. I shook my head. Yeah, no. That was out of the options. I would just wait until I saw him in school.I stayed in bed thinking for a while and I couldn't figure out exactly when I fell asleep until my alarm rang. It was morning and no one had thought to wake me up for dinner, not that I had looked forward to that anyway. They must have believed I was too tired and needed the rest. Which in truth, I did but now, if I didn't hurry, I was going to miss classes and that was the last thing I wanted. I rushed through the motions of preparation, picking something out of my old clothes to wear and shoving my scattered

HUNTERMy plan was working. It made me happy to see that despite how much Justin was trying hard to be the good guy, Astrid was beginning to see through his bullshit. He was trying too hard, when it was obvious he could never be. His attempts were pathetic and they disgusted me. He was as predictable as I had hoped. He got angry at anything that had to do with Astrid and would flare at even the slightest mention of her. That was perfect for my plans. I was going to exploit that as much as I could until it was too late for him to realize what he had been doing. Astrid on the other hand was every bit as naive as Audrey had told me she was before she left to be with Justin. Astrid trusted way too easily and I planned on using that to my own benefit. For now, I think I had managed to get her on the palm of my hands. She was eating up every single lie I told her, hook, line and sinker. It was easy to manipulate her and soon she would fall into my plans of making her hate Justin. She wa

JUSTIN“I am only doing this to protect Astrid. The fucker wants my mate, I can’t let him have her, J. I only just got her back. Plus, you and I both know that he couldn’t possibly be here just to be friends with her.” Ryder was already even more convinced but Jonah looked rather skeptical, his brows were knitted into a frown.“If it is to protect Astrid then I am in,” Ryder said and I smiled at him. Thanks buddy.A minute passed and Jonah still hadn’t agreed to this plan.“Look,” I started. “This is my chance to show her that he’s not friend material and to get on her good graces. I need her to forgive me and want me back. I can’t lose her, J.” The corners of my lips already started to tug into a smile from the expression I saw on his face. I had him where I wanted him.“Fine geez. You look like you’re about to hug me or some shit. I’m in…” he frowned as he moved closer, “...but I still think it is a bad idea though.”“Thank you,” I said sincerely, already backing away to head to cla

ASTRIDA date, he said. The words tumbled through my mind, jumbled and disorganized, like a storm of thoughts I couldn’t control as I gently closed the door behind me and walked to my room. Justin asked me out, and even though I despised him, the thought of spending a day with him made my heart race. It was absurd, really. I had never been asked out before, and the one time it happened, it was him- the same person who had caused me so much pain. I hated him, that was true. I hated him for the way her made me feel, for how he had seen the truth and now wouldn’t leave me alone. He was asking me out only because I hadn’t killed his sister and I was his mate and not because he had feeling for me. It wasn’t a genuine invitation- it was just something he had to do as per his duty or maybe some misguided form of redemption. Yet, the thought of being with him, even in a purely formal sense made my pulse quicken. I walked to the mirror and glanced at my reflection in the mirror, trying to

ASTRIDI was not sure how to feel when Justin told me he wanted to come with me. It was meant to be a simple request for permission to leave the pack to find a witch, I had known he’d say he wanted to come along but now it seemed like everything was about to spiral out of control. His insistence on coming along with me only complicated things further.How was I supposed to find a way to leave if he was right there with me?I stared blankly at his moving lips, barely hearing what he was saying. My mind was racing. I could not let him accompany me. He might have been sincere with his offer, but I didn’t want to risk another emotional entanglement or worse, being blamed if something went wrong. Justin was so adamant about keeping me safe. I understood that he was trying to protect me, and I knew that deep down he cared. But I didn’t want to be the cause of him getting hurt or worse, getting myself imprisoned again because he got hurt for my sake. I wanted to avoid that possibility altog
