All Chapters of We Are Destined Mates: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

CARTER.I watch them both as they start to talk intently. The way she grabs his hands and hugs him is entirely different from how she treats me. My jealousy intensifies as I observe them, feelings surging greater than just anger. Just when I think about interrupting their happy moment, I sense something odd in their expressions. Brooke looks shocked and confused, while Alexander appears scared. I want to know what the problem is, but all I can do is watch them and refrain from making any rash moves that could jeopardize my chances with my mate.Call me delusional, but she is my mate; I’m the Alpha heir, and I’ll have whatever I want. She will never be out of my reach. In the blink of an eye, they are hugging.“I’ve never even had a handshake with Brooke, and he’s already getting a hug.” This thought infuriates me. I can't help but count the seconds: exactly 5 minutes and 33 seconds. Is his body that good and comforting for her to stay in his embrace for so long? Just as I’m about to st

BROOKE.“Carter saw my dislike for you and used it to his advantage, but that’s not the worst of it...” she whispers.“Sorry? Carter saw your dislike for me and used it to his advantage? And that's not even the worst of it?” I ask, trying to take all of it in. How did he use it to his advantage?“How, Jenna?” I can't help but ask her.Wiping her nostrils with the back of her hand, at the same time still kneeling and crying profusely, she begins, “It all started when in the Archery, I was angry about the accuracy of your arrow, How it went to the bar; I went into one of the rooms where I met Carter.” She pauses for a while and continues.“Then, he bluntly asked me if I wanted to get rid of you, and first, I thought it was all a joke or a prank, but he was so serious about it. And he brought up the whole thing, saying that it was a win-win situation, which I didn't understand what he meant by that then. I refused him immediately, stating that I wouldn't do such a thing, even if I disli

Brooke.Alex squints across the targets; as he steps in front of me, I notice the coldness in his voice, to a protective growl. “Stay here.”“Don't leave me, Alex,” I whisper in fear. I can't help but notice the serenity in the Archery, which is a very rare thing.“Just walk behind me,” he says, casting a glance back at me while keeping an eye on our surroundings. This time, his tone is much softer.“See who we have here,” we suddenly hear a voice from behind, making me flinch in fear.“Ahh, Jenna” I yelp in fear.“Why did you scare us like that?” Alex shoots back.“Scare you? I don't understand. What are you talking about?” Jenna asks, utterly confused.“Were you not the one here a few minutes ago?” I ask, staring deeply into her.“No, I wasn't here before. I just came here, and I saw you guys looking around like you were running after something, then I called your attention,” Jenna explains, and immediately, I give Alex a questioning look.“Someone was here before her,” Alex affirms

Alexander.“Brooke, it’s okay. I’m here,” I say, trying to sound reassuring.“Alex?” She whispers, her body covered in sweat, tears flowing down her face.“Just stay with me, Brooke,” I urge, holding onto her tightly. “Guards!” I shout in frustration.Right now, all I can think about is keeping her from closing her eyes.“What’s happening to her?” I hear my dad ask from behind. I can’t believe he’s even asking that after what went down earlier.“Get the doctor! Get Dale here, now!” I yell at one of the guards rushing toward me. Brooke’s eyes have finally shut. Panic starts to rise in me; I can’t lose her now.“What’s going on?” I snap, pacing the hallway. It’s been over five hours, and I still haven’t seen Dale or heard anything about Brooke.“Just try to stay calm; he’ll be with you soon,” the nurse says calmly, but I’m not in the mood for that right now. I need answers.I know if I keep pacing, I’m just going to lose it and barge in, but I don’t want to intrude and add to the chaos.

Carter.“You need to get your act together, Carter,” Dad says for what feels like the hundredth time. I just stay quiet, not ready to fire back.“Carter, are you even listening?” he presses.“Dad, what do you want?” I snap, frustration creeping in.“What do you think I want? You have to keep your behavior in check. Whatever happened with that girl wasn’t right.”“You mean the girl I liked, and who knows it? Can we skip the lecture today?”“You call this a lecture? I can only imagine what you'll do if you end up becoming the Alpha,” he pauses for a moment. I hate this; every reminder makes me feel smaller like I'm always being compared to Alex.“I’m putting everything in your hands…” he says, but I cut him off.“Dad, stop. Enough with the comparisons already!” I say, looking straight at him.“What comparisons are you talking about, Carter?” He asks, genuinely confused.“How can you compare me to Alex's dad? Even after all this time, you make me feel inadequate like I'm just not good eno
