No he can’t be my mate. Now I am sure I’m cursed, what did I do to you Moon goddess why pair me with the Alpha? Of all men why him? I glance at him and his Beta as more tears stream down my face.
I shiver from the cold and also fear raging through me. They walk away from me and before they look back I make a run for it, I run to the principal's office, not bothering to knock when I enter.
“Miss Burton you can’t just barge in this is not a…” She halts when she takes a better look at the crying mess I am, “What happened to you?” Unable to speak I cry even more, she offers me a pitiful look, I hate that look but people have been giving it to me all my life, it’s pathetic, I loathe it.
She has her head and gestures to the seat, “Come on, take a seat over there I will call Alpha Ryan to pick you up. School isn’t done for another 1hour but this is an emergency.” She says picking up her phone.
“What happened, did someone do this to you?” She asks. I don’t speak, I nod wiping my tears. She lets out a sigh, “Bullying is unacceptable! I will take care of the perpetrators but please don’t tell your brother about this little incident.” She pleads.
I nod once again, wiping the tears. I’m not a snitch, especially not to Ryan, he would have her head and Raquel's for what she did to me.
“What are their names?” She sighs. I did nothing to Raquel and she did this to me. Imagine what she would do if I actually do something to her, she will kill me and I will let her because I made a vow. Wiping some tears I shrug, “I don’t know.” I lied.
She would believe it of course, I just showed up here and I’m not acquainted with anyone just yet.
“Alright can you please stop crying.” She says, offering me a tissue.
Someone Knocks on the door, The principal flickers her gaze from me, to the door. “Must be your brother, he said he was close. Come in.” She yells.
When the door opens, she smiles. I tilt my head to wipe my tears because Ryan will tear this place down If he sees me crying here.
I take my time composing myself as she jerks off her seat, “Alpha, Beta! Wow, what an honour to have you here, at Winter Bloom Academy.” She says, her tone giddy, like a child. “Please take a seat.”
I hear footsteps and they stop when I guess the person sit’s, it’s not Ryan. The only other Alpha I’ve seen is…
I raise my head to confirm my suspicion and I was right, it’s Alpha Adrian sitting next to me. My eyes widen and I feel like my contact lenses are about to fall off. I tense in my seat and he quickly jerks off. “Adrian?” Beta calls out sounding worried but Alpha Adrian doesn’t respond, he gazes at me with a blank expression but it’s far from blank, I can’t read it just yet.
Beta calls out to him once again and this time he answers, his gaze piercing into my soul as I pull away from it, scared it might see right through me, through this entire guise. “What’s wrong?” Beta asks, only then do I feel his gaze lift from me, leaving with a new fear.
“Nothing, principal Jones, I just want to talk to you about a transfer for my sisters.” He says looking between me and the principal. I am no longer looking at him but I can feel his eyes on me.
“Oh,” She exclaims, “The girls can’t transfer, other schools have already registered their students for exams so it won’t be possible for twelfth graders.” He doesn’t respond, the room is silent and I peer up at him, my eyes finding his instantly, he growls, his gaze spine chilling as he stares in pure disdain. “Have a good day Mrs Jones.” He mutters walking out, with his Beta behind him.
“I see you’re rattled by our Alpha.” She smiles while handing me a bottle of water. I drink it with my eyes closed but the image of Alpha Adrian and his deadly stare makes me choke.
I give myself a mental shake and take the bottle away and cough a little, Mrs Jones goes to the door and I take another sip of my bottle water only to choke out even more. Suddenly, I feel someone brushing my back, it’s my brother.
“Princess, breathe it out. Don’t stress about it.” Micheal says brushing my back. “Good that’s it.” He smiles when I finally stop coughing.
His hand caresses my wet hair, “What happened to you?”
Oh, you don't know I got terrorized and nearly exterminated by the stare that my mate gave me but I don’t say that, rather I shake my head, sniffing over my hand. “I had an accident.”
He looks back to Mrs Jones “Can I take her home?...”
When we get home, I go straight up to my room and fall onto my bed to continue crying. I don’t want to go to school anymore. Everyone is mean, they bully and laugh at me.
I simply can’t go back and what’s worse I met the devil, now every time I close my eyes I see his face right in front of me staring into my soul with disgust (hatred).
The image flashes before my eyes so many times that I feel like peeing on myself. He instigated fear in me, real fear and not the guise of fear I’m accustomed to.
His scent still lingers in every room I walk into, and that girl Belle, she smelled like him. Of course she does, she must be his little sister, how I missed that before puzzles me, only she can be that beautiful.
“Milla, baby.” Arielle sighs sitting on the side of my bed. I get up to hug her, laying my head in her lap, I cry out even louder.
“Mi amour, what’s wrong?”
“I don’t want to go to school anymore.”
“I don’t like it there Ryan you were right it’s not good, I don’t want to go ever again.”
“Princessa.” I hear Ryan sigh from the door.
“Please don’t make me go back there, they don’t like me, they bully and laugh at me she… she will kill me Ryan please I don’t want to go to school again!”
“Okay you won’t go anymore I won’t force you.”
“Ryan!” Arielle snaps.
He shoots her a look, “What?”
“She has to go to school.”
“She can learn from here. I won't force Milla if she doesn’t want to go, it’s best she stays here. I mean look at her, she’s shaking.” He says pointing out my current responses.
“So what? She shivers when she’s scared. Camilla is not a little kid anymore and you can’t bring yourself to deny her anything but I can. For her benefit, I will and so I say she has to go.” She demands.
“Ari please.” I sob, my voice comes out squeaky and broken.
“Just look at her My love, she’s crying even more! You know what, don’t worry princess you don’t have to go.” He assures me.
Arielle sighs, her gaze fixed on me, “Honey please wait outside.”
“Why?’’
“Because I will pay you in kind.” She sounds like she is asking him a question yet she is telling him and he knows it so he turns away and closes the door. Arielle waits for his footsteps to die out before she begins to persuade me, but I don’t want to be persuaded. I hate it there.
“I don’t want to Arielle, please don’t make me.” I tell her wiping my tears away.
“Look baby, it’s high school you can’t quit because your hair looks bad or you’re not going to have a prom date not even if they bully you. Camilla people are like that they will hurt you because you’re better than them they feel threatened and besides…if you quit every time one thing goes wrong people will call you a coward and father won’t be proud is that what you want?”
Smart, bringing out the father card.
“No. I don’t want him to.” I sob.
“Well then will you go to school or quit? ”
“I will go back to school, Ari.”
“Good and you will show whoever bullied you you’re not scared, you will push back when you’re pushed and if they don’t leave you alone. I will handle them myself. Now come on, take a shower and I will take you for ice cream.” She says tickling me.
ALPHA'S HATED MATE Santiago’s POV I haven’t seen Adrian all day and he hasn’t returned any of my calls and text messages which could only mean one thing, he is in one of his little moods and wants no one to disturb him.He seems to be going through a rough patch lately, he is always in a bad mood which is not new for Adrian he gets pissed off very easily but this is different. I’ve seen him and whatever he is going through he doesn’t know how to fix it and he won’t ask for help. Sitting here in the kitchen with Mirabelle and Racheal I can’t help but worry about him. Adrian knows how to run a pack with ease. He could kill someone with his bare hands faster than anyone I know and taking care of his little sister and pack that he can do but manage his emotions? No Adrian has no clue and whatever is bothering him right now is an emotional matter and if he doesn
ALPHA'S HATED MATE Camilla’s POV I’ve been going to school for the past week and it actually wasn’t so bad. Raquel almost drowned me in the pool because I can’t swim and she also almost left me naked in front of the whole damn school and oh yes, how can I forget why she is torturing me, it’s because she blamed me for Mikel breaking up with her so she put fish blood on my chair so that when I got up it would look like I had my period…oh wait did I say wasn’t so bad I meant was so bad. Yesterday there was a fish blood incident and today I didn’t go to school because I felt so embarrassed. I faked being sick so I could stay home and it worked a little too well. The doctor said I should stay home a few days in case it’s something serious. So right now, I am with Arielle and her friends from the pack by the table having snac
ALPHA'S HATED MATE Mirabelle’s POV I haven’t skipped school in a week, I’ve been going nonstop and usually I skip school two times a week because Adrian is usually occupied but these days he drops us on time and picks us on time.Today, I had a maths test today and I think I failed again. The nice girl who sits next to me didn’t come. I don't even know her name. Everyone calls her the gargoyle or four eyes, which I don’t feel comfortable addressing her as. I asked Mrs Vanderbilt how we could have a test when our classmate was upset, I was sounding concerned but really I would do anything just to get out of the test but Mrs Vanderbilt said she wasn’t coming and even if she missed one test it wouldn’t affect her grades or her performance on her final exams and that she appreciates my concern for someone that isn’t my ‘groupie’ I was offended and a
ALPHAS HATED MATE Santiago's POV When I dropped off the girls, I took some time to go run a few errands before I went back to the pack house. When I arrive a second time, I look for him in his bedroom but he isn't there so I look for him in his other room, where I do find him. What I didn't anticipate was to see him with his hand in between the legs of one of the girls from a rival pack.I clear my throat and he turns his attention to me.“Ever heard of knocking?” He roars.“Get rid of her.” I announce, referring to the girl on his bed.“You heard him darling.” he notifies her.She bows her head and leaves us, very obedient. “What the fuck is wrong with you man you interrupted me.” “With what that skinny bimbo, man don't you have taste in women anymore?”He gestures to the door, “That's
“I think I will enjoy getting to know this one.” I laugh. Anyone pissing Adrian this much is worth gold.“A human with wolf blood? Shoot me.”“Come on, lighten up.”“Santiago you don’t tell me what to do I tell everyone what to do not the other way round.”I chuckle, “I’m not everyone, I’m Santiago and you don't play big bad Alpha with me. I know you inside out.”“You know what I mean.” He snorts “Where do you want her?”He pauses looking over his shoulder, “In the trash.” He deadpans, his answer is instant as if he was waiting on me to ask him just that. “I don’t care where you put her. ” “Well then looks like I’m putting her in an uber and asking Alpha Ryan to receive her at the gates of his pack.” “Dont tempt me Santiago.”We f
ALPHA'S HATED MATE Camilla’s POV I don’t know how long I’ve been sleeping but each time I tried to open my eyes, they fell shut again, and to sleep I wandered up until now. I can move my body, but barely, sitting up on the soft mattress which smells nothing like mine, I take a look at the room nothing is familiar the walls are grey and pink as if someone was painting over the pink and they failed to complete it, it’s spacious and it smells like bubblegum in here, the scent is flaring up my nostrils causing my head to hurt even more.Instinctively I get out of bed and try to open the door. I try twice before realising it’s locked, I call out to Arielle three times with no response, not even the sound of someone passing by hauls the air that’s when panic sets in I can’t take it I seem to be running out of air, my lungs are desperate for every breath that I take, when I’m scare
ALPHA'S HATED MATE Adrian's POVI couldn't sleep at all, Mirabelle and Racheal fell asleep and I kept watch, Santiago had also gone to bed but found me awake around 7am, he told me to go to bed which I did, for about three hours I slept and my sleep wasn't a place of rest it crawled from nightmare to nightmare. I hate that Mirabelle makes it hard to protect her when she knows exactly why I'm so hard on her.By the time I woke up, Racheal and Mirabelle were awake, they'd had breakfast and that meant I could nag them or punish them, whichever came first. I wasn't going to tell Mom and Mother about what happened to the girls, but I did tell my brother Martin his take on the whole thing was to punish them as Alpha not as their brother.I called them and Santiago to my office, I barely said a word to them and they were already crying. “We have rules for a reason. Do you think we do it for fun or ju
Santiago runs his hand over his face, “I don’t care what you did to this boy, why did you have to do it in front of her.” “First of all, it is not my fault she's a weakling, second, you brought her here not me and how did I realize she was there?” I snort.“Don't shit me Adrian, I know you can smell her from miles away and you know Ryan said she's never seen even a chicken get killed and you just ripped a man's head off in front of her! You literally beheaded someone right there when she was watching do you know what you could do to her?” He sneer's. I take a short pause and sigh, “I still don't see how this is a problem.” I tell him, because honestly I don't, I can't pretend to be a saint for her.“You probably traumatised her; she's scared of you.”His response has me grinning, “Good, then she'll stay away.”“That
