All Chapters of Veil Of Shadows: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Adrian’s Pov(cont’d) “Excuse me?” I hissed angrily. “I don’t know what’s got your pants in a twist, but you need to act like the f*cking Beta that you are." I said, standing upright. “Well, you can start by apologizing for putting my mate in a freaking hospital. Thank God I found her on time, Adrian. You could have killed my mate!! How’d you think I felt when I saw her almost lifeless on the floor?” He said, gripping his injured shoulder. “She disrespected an Alpha. I had to put her in place, I did not know she’s your mate.” I said, trying to reason with him. “What difference does it make Adrian? I’ve had to put up with all your bullsh*t since we were kids. Enough is enough Adrian. You have to stop treating people like trash. In as much as you are a great Alpha and a good leader, you need to be compassionate Adrian.” He said, with a serious glare. “Listen, I am sorry for hurting your mate, okay? Now spare me the irrelevant lectures.” I said genuinely. “Did you just apolog

“I am waiting for your answer Phoebe do you want Adrian as your mate?” She asked with a keen look. “Well…I…” I stammered. Damn! Why am I stammering? I hate that man so much so why can’t I say it? “I don’t want Adrian as my mate. I hate him.” I said, in one breath. “Are you sure?” “Are you playing my mind games with me?” She asked. “You said you’ve been watching over me since then you must also know that Adrian rejected me in front of the entire pack members. He called me weak countless times and put my best friend in a f*cking hospital!” I said angrily. “Aren’t soulmates supposed to love and care for one another?” I asked. “But that’s not the case here I hate him and he also hates me,” I said sadly. “Well, that’s what you think. But unfortunately, Adrian is the one I have fated with you. Your destinies cannot be served, the feeling of hatred you are feeding right now, will later turn to genuine love.” She explained in a calm voice. At this point, I did not know what to say

Phoebe’s Pov Mia and Axel came to visit me the next morning. A part of me feels safe that I have people who care about me. Before it used to be only Mia now her mate too cares about me. It is however saddening that both of them will leave me alone in this terrible place. Just as old woman(moon goddess) said, my condition is getting worse. Rather than recovering, my health kept deteriorating. But when Mia came this morning, I masked my emotions. I did not want the last days we’d be spending together to be filled with tears and agony. Although Mia is unmarked, the fact that she has seen her mate and they both accept each other wholeheartedly is helping with her recovery. Mia was ranting to her mate about how we both met and the crazy things we did together. Although most of the time, I always get punished, we never get caught. I could not help but admire how much Axel loves and adores Mia. They act like they’ve been together for years. “Be careful babe, don’t let the stitches

Adrian’s POV Seeing Phoebe’s lifeless body on the floor stirred something inside me. I thought she was at the hospital dead. Why is she here? I have tons of questions swirling in my head. “Ady babe” Alexa called, still in her bra. I could not look her in the eye. What have I done? I have f*cked up again! My head was all over the place. I did not know what to do. Phoebe was lying here unconscious and Alexa was standing behind me half naked. Someone opened the door, pulling me out of my thoughts. That damn door!! If I had locked it, none of these would’ve happened. But if Phoebe had not interrupted, heaven knows what would’ve happened between me and Alexa. “What is going on here?” Axel said, eyeing Alexa. “What is she doing here half naked?” He said, still looking at her. “Oh my goodness, Phoebe!!” Axel’s mate screamed as she gathered Phoebe in her arms. “What happened here, Adrian?” Axel asked kneeling beside his mate. What should I say? That I almost

Adrian’s Pov: “You heard me loud and clear Adrian leave this place. Or should I say, Alpha Adrian?” She said, challenging me. “Are you a werewolf?” I asked impatiently. “No, I am not.” “What are you?” “I do not owe you an answer, Adrian. Leave this place before my mother sees you.” “Excuse me? Do you know who you are talking to?” I said angrily. Before she could reply, another voice spoke up. “Leave my daughter Adrian Knight Mikel.” She said, looking at me with pure disgust. I turned my back to see an old woman standing at the door. She was holding a stick which was aiding her to move towards me. I looked at her eyes and it was cloudy blue, with a piercing glint. Something feels off. I can feel it.This woman appears to be blind, but she’s staring into my soul looking deep inside my eyes. How is she doing that? “We don’t want anything to do with werewolves Adrian, especially you. Now leave before I do something you won’t like.” She said, her eyes switching to di
