Все главы Fated but Hated: Глава 11 - Глава 20

I stood watching Seren walk away. Her long dark hair swinging as she walked. She was in a hurry to get away from me, that was evident to see. A part of me wanted to go after her, but I stayed, almost fixed to the spot, as she strode further away. While listening to my wolf snarling angrily at me. My gut twisting, along with my heart. I knew the pain she was in. I knew the struggle of losing your father…FLASHBACK – 8 years ago.I played happily with Cole. Climbing the large tree in the garden of their home. The sun was shining and we loved to make the most of the sunshine. Any opportunity to be outside. Climbing trees was one of our favorite things to do, and the one sitting in the Bradshaw's garden was one of the many trees we had fallen from countless times before. The slightly smaller one alongside it was the tree where the treehouse sat. I believed we had fallen from that a few times too. We made a habit of falling. Always so clumsy. Too busy having fun...Thankfully, Aunt Sofia

That smug look lingered across Lachlan's dark features as his smirk widened. His dark eyes never leaving me for a second as he watched me move along the corridor. “Alright, Ren.” He nodded at me, before raising his coffee mug to me.Without further acknowledgement of him, I quickly continued striding along the corridor, before my anger well and truly bubbled out of control. I did not know what he was doing here, and I did not need him here. Marching into the kitchen to find my brother tossing one of the pancakes as I did, he looked up at me with a welcoming smile. The lightness in his face only to be brought down by me as I snapped. “What is he doing here?”Cole’s eyes rolled upward, like he was sick of my words. It was something I had asked him multiple times before. I hated the sight of Lachlan making himself comfortable within our family home, especially when he had his arrogant head on. Unfortunately, as a close family friend, he made

Colton and I walked into the busy club, having used our fake ID in order to get in. The music was pounding, and both dancefloors were already filling up. We walked side by side making our way to one of the many bars situated within the club, more than read to start our night the right way. My friend gave me a sly smile as a beautiful women gave him the eye, and a stunning smile, as we made our way through the throngs of people. The look of excitement upon his face was a picture! Though she was quite the looker... maybe tonight could be a good night.“We are going to have fun, right?” Colton questioned as we reached the bar, having to queue for a moment, and I smiled. The excitement in his tone matched the excitment upon his face from moments ago. The smile from the passing beauty had clearly been quite the pick-me-up for my friend, and had certainly put a smile upon his face.“I sure hope so.” I looked around. The place was filled with guys our

I had chosen not to mention anything about Lachlan’s outburst to Cole. He was his best friend, after all. And I did not know that he would believe me. He had a habit of believing his friends over me. Brother or not, he seemed to take his friends’ words over his own sister's. So, when Cole asked me how it had gone with Lachlan I just smiled and told him everything went fine. My brother had clearly set out to help me when arranging that chat between Lachlan and I, so it was better for him to believe it had helped; when it truth it had done anything but...Truth be told, Lachlan's words had hurt me. I could not believe he thought that way of me, and it made me question so many things about myself. I checked in with my brother that day, and my Mum. Hating how small Lachlan had made me feel when he implied I had made the day we mourned the loss of my Dad all about me. That day was one we all found hard, and I needed to know that my family were okay. I needed them to know I was there for th

I had finally coaxed Tyr out for a run along with my friends. He was becoming tiresome to live with. A wolf that I did not get along with was not the pairing I had envisioned when I had imagined meeting my wolf. I had imagined a wolf I could connect with. One who would become my support. Instead, I was given a wolf who could not be further from being supportive if he tried. He spent most of his time sulking in the nether regions of my mind blocking me out. Ignoring me, like a petulant teenager might…“So, how has Beta training been going?” Cole asked as we strode away from the treeline, walking back down toward the main area of pack. I smiled in his direction. This was my weekend away from my training, and I was not ashamed to say I was smashing it. All the preparation had put me in good stead. Thankfully my wolf had been present as and when needed throughout the training to allow me to do all that was expected of me; and I was more than confident I should
