All Chapters of Fated but Hated: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

I stood in front of the mirror within my bedroom, adjusting the dress I had picked out for this supposed date I had agreed to, now questioning if going on the date was the right thing to do or not…I ran the hairbrush through my hair for about the tenth time since I had stood in front of the mirror, questioning over and over in my mind what I should do. Surely seeing him as a friend wouldn’t hurt, would it? He made me laugh… he made me feel good… and the guy had been chasing me for quite some time… I belonged to nobody. I had every right to see who I wanted. Until I found my mate I was free to see who I wanted. I did not have to do anything serious...My mind flicked back to Cole’s words. There could be no way that guy was my mate, or else he would have said something, surely? Why did my brother and his friend have to involve themselves in my life?! Why did they have to say anything at all? If they had simply kept quiet I would have been smiling, listening to some music and making my

I had come to my favourite, most peaceful place. The hill that overlooked the valley which created a large portion of our pack. I had needed some space. Some time to myself. Thankfully Alejandro had been more than understanding of my reasoning, and had even offered another date another time. So, I had the option should I change my mind. He was sweet, bless him…Just as I had been sitting, cross-legged, my eyes taking in the valley below, fucking Lachlan mindlinked, demanding to know where I was. It was not something I had expected, and it had made little sense to me considering the conversation that had happened at home, unless of course, he was checking up on me. But, of course, Beta-blockhead wouldn’t even give an explanation as to why he wanted to see me! So, in my mind that had to mean there was no real just cause or reason.I am sure he gets a kick out of bullying me, and had believed so for a long time. The nastiness he showed to me had only increased over the years. But today,

After the weirdness that had gone down between us I had decided to stay out of Beta Blockhead’s way. Though thankfully he had been shipped out to complete his Beta training. Beta training was a specialised training for upcoming Betas to prepare them for the role they would soon undertake. It should be something their fathers also help prepare them for, but sadly Lachlan did not have that, so he was being sent for additional training to ensure he was well prepared. Although when listening to him anyone would think the arrogant dick had been born ready...So, his training was almost at a close. Ensuring he was ready to join his closest friends in running our pack. But him completing the training meant that unfortunately he was fast approaching becoming Beta of our pack. There were no more reasons to delay. He would inherit his father's title. A title that had been held for him. A title that had not been filled since his Dad had died.And, as much as I dislike Lachlan, it was not that I

A huge pack event. Of course it was going to be. It had been the same for Marcus becoming Alpha, and for my brother becoming Gamma. As a pack, it was wanted for the members to celebrate those in charge. They were wanted for them to adored. Respected. And our pack loved to have things to celebrate. This was a day that had been waited for since Uncle Austin had passed away. It was a day the pack was more than ready to celebrate. A day that Lachlan was no doubt more than ready for. Me, however, well, I kinda could not care less...Pack was decked out. And, I meant decked out! My Mum and my Aunts had made sure of that. There would be guests from outside packs attending. And everyone within our pack would be expected to attend, so there would be no hope of avoiding it, even if I wanted to. And I really wanted to...I had done well to avoid Beta Blockhead but today, I would have to see him. There would be no avoding it. I would be expected to be there. Watchng him become the

I had seen the stroppy Seren storm away from me and the warrior leaving us standing staring at one another. Like an icy stand off. He would be a fool if he thought for a moment he stood a chance against me. He was merely a warrior. I had a Beta-wolf. I could easily destroy him. But, instead of doing anything, he gave me a cold stare before turning his back to me, and walking in the opposite direction. Brave for a little fucking warrior. But at least he did not go running after Seren. Hopefully he may have been panicked enough that he would stay away from her. She did not need someone like him in her life, of that I was certain. She belonged to me.My anger was dissipating, and I allowed my gaze to seek Seren out. She infuriated me. The way she challenged me on anything and everything. Like she enjoyed to anger me. I found her almost immediately among the crowds spread out over the training field. That dress she had on was hugging her curves. The curves of a
