MY MATE I HATE

*Selena's POV*I and Alpha David were taking a walk around the palace when he suddenly brought up the topic of the mating ceremony."The mating ceremony will be held tonight. I apologize for the short notice, but as the Beta, I would love for you to ensure that nothing goes wrong," he said, and I nodded in agreement."You can trust me with that, Alpha," I assured him."Also, Alpha Duncan , the Lycan king, will be in attendance.""What!?" I blurted out, taken aback by the news. Alpha David looked at me with surprise."What's wrong, Selena? Why are you so shocked?" he asked, clearly confused.The mere thought of the Lycan king filled me with a deep hatred. He was a cruel and heartless man who didn't deserve to be the Lycan king. I couldn't believe he would be visiting our pack.The mating ceremony, held twice a year, attracted people from far and near, all hoping to find their mate. I suspected that was the reason Alpha Duncan would be attending since he had no mate. But if he were t

*Selena's POV*As we embarked on the journey to Duncan's pack, the hours seemed to stretch endlessly. The landscape outside the car window blurred into a hazy mix of colors, indicating the passing time. My mind drifted, lost in a windstorm of thoughts and emotions.I couldn't help but wonder how this decision would affect my life. Leaving behind everything I knew and journeying into the unknown was both frightening and exhilarating. My heart fluttered with a mix of eagerness and unease.Glancing at Duncan, who sat beside me, I couldn't read the thoughts behind his indifferent expression. We hadn't exchanged a single word since we set off, and the silence between us was both a blessing and a curse. It offered respite from his overbearing presence, but it also left me alone with my twisted thoughts.I pondered over the circumstances that led me here. The twist of fate that bound me to him as his mate felt like a cruel joke. How did I end up with a man who fills me with fury to no end? T

*Selena's POV*It had been a whole week since I arrived here, and I did my best to avoid Lina's trouble. But if she wanted a fight, I was ready to stand up for myself.Duncan's naughty behavior kept getting worse with each passing day. Whenever he saw me, he would tease and make sexual comments, trying to get a reaction out of me. I tried my hardest to ignore him and not let his words affect me.Sitting near the window, I found comfort in watching the full moon shining brightly. It was peaceful until I heard a knock on my door, breaking the silence.I felt curious and cautious about who could be at the door. Should I answer it or ignore it? After a moment of hesitation, my curiosity won, and I answered."Come in." I said as I stood up and then Duncan walked in looking so serious."What do you want?""Take off you mask Selena, I've been asking you to do this but you keep refusing, take the damn thing off and let me see your face." He ordered."So that's the reason you came all the way

Alpha Duncan's PovAs I sat at the dining table, picking at my breakfast, I noticed the maid bustling around, attending to various tasks. With a hopeful tone, I casually inquired, “Hey, has Selena come for breakfast yet?”The maid paused for a moment for a moment, glancing at me with a slight frown before replying. “No, Alpha, I haven’t seen Miss Selena this morning. Shall I prepare a plate for her just in case?”I shrugged nonchalantly, trying to hide my disappointment. “No, that won’t be necessary. Thank you Bethany,” I replied.The maid gave a small curtsy and returned to her chores, leaving me alone with my thoughts. I couldn’t help but wonder where Selena was and why she hadn’t joined me for breakfast.Perhaps she was avoiding me, or maybe she was simply busy with other matters. Whatever the reason I felt a sense of unease settling over me.Why did I care so much if she had breakfast with us or not? It shouldn’t matter, right? But deep down, I knew it did matter, more than I

ALPHA DUNCAN’S POV“Hey,” I said, causing her to startle.Her face scrunched up in irritation, and she shout the puzzle book with a snap.“What do you want?” She demanded, her voice cold.“Just checking on you,” I said. “You’ve been cooped up in here all day.” I said.“I’m fine,” she said, turning her back to me. “Now leave me alone.”she said coldly.I knew that I had hit a spot and needed to be careful of the next word to say.I tried a different method."Selena," I said softly. “Look, I know we’ve had our difference, but I want to make sure you’re okay. Can we just talk?”“Honestly, there is absolutely nothing that we need to talk about. I hate you and that will never change.”“While I’m not particularly fond of you, I think it’s best if we put our differences aside and try to coexist as cordially as possible. There’s no need to discuss the past and the kiss, and I’m not interested in arguing with you. Let’s move on.”She hesitated before looking at me, her expression cautious. "Alr
