“How would you know? She's not here yet. Camilla might not be a game-changer but his mate? That's a different story.” Veronica, the dumb bitch speaks once again. Knowing full well which button she's pressing by speaking of Camilla. I walk away, heading straight for my room and dismissing everyone that so much as mentions or glares at me. The second I'm in my room I slip out of my jeans and top, tossing them to the floor as I walk to the bathroom, taking the quickest shower I've ever taken. I pull a black spaghetti strap dress from my closet and slip it on. I took a deep breath and pulled the dresser chair, I sat and sought out my makeup. Gazing at my reflection, I nod to myself. Adrian can't be avoiding me this much, he always talks to me, even if it's to wave me off. So what changed today? "Camilla" A voice in the back of my head lets out and I detest it, I detest that deep down I know she's succeeding in pulling him into her web. I clasp my eyeliner and begin to wear my war
Alphas Hated Mate. Camilla's POV I never knew how much I needed Adrian’s arms around me. He makes me feel protected, more so than I have with my brothers. He keeps my demons at bay and that's more than I've asked out of life. We have had makeover sessions where we've worked on my nerves, we have worked on controlling my stuttering and the results are amazing. I no longer stutter, be it I'm nervous or scared, I don't stutter anymore and it's thanks to him and the effort he has put into us. I want to say him touching me, making me orgasm is what I enjoy most but I'd be lying, I love our conversations the most, both the meaningless and meaningful ones. Tomorrow is Thursday, Racheal, Mirabelle and I are going on our school's annual senior year camping trip at Lake Diabolo. Lake Diabolo is located quite far from here and yes as the name suggests, it's the devil's lake. There's been a myth about spirits pulling you in if they see you as a worthy sacrifice but it's all folktales
He drops his gaze to the books beside me, I take them in my lap, jerking my hair out his hands. I go through the pages and most of the answers are okay, just not excellently described. I close the books and set them aside, picking up my sketch to add more detail to the daisy considering it's the only part of the drawing that I have full confidence is art, the rest of the drawing? I think it will earn me an A- as usual. Wait, what if the snake shades it's skin as it slithers through the skull like the daisy shaded it's petals? I quickly abandon the daisy and go for the snake, adding a 3D detail to it, I begin to slowly add a second layer of skin. “Are you done?” I shake my head, not bothering to look at him. “How about now?” Adrian asks. Is he serious? It's been a few seconds, ten seconds at most since he asked the first question. If I wasn't done then how can I be done now? I quickly shift my eyes to him and sigh. “No.” I whisper loud enough for him to hear. “Okay.” He smiles.
Alphas Hated Mate Mirabelle's POV I watch the raindrops rolling down the window, rain is symbolic and it shouldn't be showering mid August particularly since today is a moon night. Mom often reminds us it's bad luck for our pack if it rains on the first quarter moon and best luck for Midnight Saints is when it rains on a full moon. I used to think it's child's play but I witnessed three incidents that have verified the theory of those who came before us right. Apparently witches cursed each zone with bad luck on a rainy particular date on the lunar calendar. Camilla is sitting beside me, Racheal is on the other side of Camilla and both of them are sulking for different reasons and it's irritating. “Belle..” Racheal calls out and I turn to face her, she's playing with Camilla's hair. I nod to her and she sighs, “Don't tell me the rain is bothering you?” I shrug, “First quarter.” Her eyes roll back as she shakes her head at me, “You need to get over that myth, Mom
ALPHA'S HATED MATE Camilla's POV The tears came faster than I could register what was happening, my heart couldn't seem to pump blood fast enough and I felt like I was dying, fuck I wanted nothing but the world to open up under my feet and swallow me whole into an endless abyss. I wanted to scream but I didn't, I bite my tongue until a metallic tang filled my mouth, I swallowed as I walked away from the disgusting image in front of me. Michelle was hot on my trail, until finally she caught up with me, not far from Adrian's office. Where I can hear him cursing at his whore to hand him his clothes. “Camilla, wait! ” Michelle calls out for the seventh time and I stop because this time, she's grabbed my arm. I turn, glaring at her through my tears as I yank my arm from her grip, “You fucking knew didn't you?” Her eyes grow wide as she stares at me, “My God, what did you do?” She shrieks, obviously noticing how bloody my mouth is. Her hand came to my mouth, “Let me see.”I
****** I'm aroused by someone banging on my door, I reach for my phone. 6:24am. Last night the voices outside my room faded when Racheal came to do maintenance outside, she made everyone go away. Life saver that one. I cried my heart out until my throat was raw, even when my cries turned to hoarse whimpers, the tears didn't stop. It was my hearts way of bleeding out the pain, I don't know when I slept or how.A bang and another bang, “Open up,it's Angel.” Really? After what she and Adrian did to me she's at my door at six fucking a.m? I roll out of bed but a bloody pillow catches my attention. I gulp, placing my fingers in my mouth to check damage, there's none. My tongue healed itself quicker than usual. previously, it would take me at least three days for the sting to stop but now it doesn't hurt and it's only been a few hours. I twist the key and open the door, Angel stands on the other end, her "just fucked" hair still unfixed, she's dressed in a skimpy white strapless
Alpha's Hated Mate Adrian's POV This time, Angel was a blunder. I think of it as the right time, wrong person, it just arose, Camilla was giving me blue balls. Being with her is never easy, my dick is hard the second I hear her voice and I'm jerking off to her snapshots four times a day and honestly, my hand was getting tired of servicing my desires. Angel just happened to be pleading to fucked and I didn't think further than my erection at the time. Camilla wasn't an option for me, despite visualizing every girl I fucked as her, I wasn't going to tear that hymen to shreds no matter how many times I dreamed of it. Camilla isn't strong enough for me to fuck, I wouldn't be able to control myself inside her, I'd fuck her to death trying to quench my thirst for her. Nonetheless, the truth is if it wasn't Angel, it would have been someone else. I never intended to hurt her but the way she got my dick hard wasn't encouraging me, Camilla has more power over me th
I hurry inside, emerging with my keys. I follow the ambulance, I look for Michelle, Lizzy, Jeremiah, Felix and whoever was in that goddamn ambulance with her but I can't seem to find them. The nurses going in and out the ER, none of them providing me the answers I need. Images of how I found her drenched in her own blood make me uneasy, her beautiful hair covered in crimson and those cuts, her cuts looked like she yearned to die, they were desperate and compressed with rage. Camilla is fighting for her life and I can't be with her, they won't let me in or give me anything to comfort the raging beast in me. Mirabelle is wailing in the waiting room, I reach out to solace her but my hand is whacked away almost immediately. She grimaces at me through her tears, “This is your fault, if she dies I will never forgive you Adrian!” “She's not going to die.” “And you know how? She tried to kill herself because you and your whore made her feel like she didn't deserve to live. Like if she li
