Fated but Hated のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

Thankfully the evening had passed relatively quickly. With Ayla by my side I had managed to have some fun, and we found ways to distract ourselves people watching. Chatting. And just generally spending time together, just the two of us. So long as I did not look at Lachlan I found I managed just fine. If he wanted to settle on random she-wolves within pack before finding his fated mate, what business was that of mine? None. Just as my love-life would be nothing to do with him. Not that I think I had a love life now...The celebrations had been every inch the success my Mum and my Aunts could have hoped for. Many happy faces had left gradually over the space of the evening, telling me that we had done a good job with the organization once again. They were a force to be reckoned with those three, and would no doubt be missed when they stepped down from their roles. I had stayed until the end of the celebration, helping to clear up as promised to my Mum.She, and my Aunts had left earlie

I was having a lazy morning. After staying so late clearing up the night before, it was more than warranted... I had stayed in bed for as long as I was able, but it had reached the point my back was aching, and I needed to pee, so I had little choice but to get up. And once up, I had decided a coffee was needed. So, I wandered downstairs. The house seemingly eerily quiet, so I could only assume I was on my own.Cole was likely out training, or he would be working, assuming his head was in any fit state, after drinking with Lachlan last night. Mum would be across at the packhouse, where she seemed to spend most of her free time since Dad had passed away. Though, in truth, she spent many hours of her free time there when he had been alive too, a wonderful Gamma’s wife. Full of community spirit, arranging many activities for pack members to join in with, along with my Aunts. The three of them were the perfect example of a pack's senior team's wives.I was only wearing a short pair of sh

I sat staring out of the window, unable to help but consider the inexplicable desire Lachlan seemed to have to make me think he was not all bad. It was like his own mind was in a tug-of-war with itself. One minute he felt the need to be nasty, the next he was trying to convince me he was not all bad… did he even know what he wanted? No. He did not want me, I knew that much. This was Lachlan after all. My opinion had rarely ever mattered to him.Did it really matter? I didn’t matter to him. I was part of the family he had grown up alongside. Our mothers both close friends, my father becoming a father figure, alongside our Alpha when Lachlan's father had passed away. A terrible moment for all our pack, but obviously, a devestating moment for Lachlan. I don't think he had ever been the same since. We had always been around one another. Obviously, that would change as I met my fated mate and likely left pack…“You look deep in thought, Ren.” Lachlan’s voice interrupted my thoughts, bring

My birthday was fast approaching, and I honestly could not wait! The birthday when a wolf comes of age is one of the most important days within a werewolves lives. That and meeting their fated mate. But, I doubted that would happen anytime soon, and I was in no rush for a mate. So, right now I was purely focused upon coming of age, and finally meeting my wolf.I hoped she would be fiery and fun. I needed a wolf to offer me support and understanding too as well as the courage and bravery a wolf was meant to bring. The day I met her could not come soon enough. But, of course, my mother was not going to let the day just slide by unnoticed. Oh, no! She had to have something to plan... and not a little something either... much to my dismay.I was sitting in the large lounge of the packhouse, along with my Mum, my Aunts, my friends Ayla and Thea, and a couple of omegas. All sitting with large mugs of coffee, plans laid out on the coffee table as my Mum and my Aunts took the lead on trying t

I had barely slept, but I think that had been more excitement than anything. Today was my birthday. I knew that my wolf could make her appearance at any time. And I wanted to be ready…I had heard many tales of friends being woken in the early hours with their wolves desperate to be allowed out to shift. And, a small part of me had hoped that may be the case for me too, but frustratingly, there had been nothing. I tossed and I turned, hoping and waiting, but there was simply radio silence… so, I lay there until sleep had found me, until it was time to get up and enjoy the day my family had planned for me.I trudged down the stairs only for my Mum to begin singing the moment I reached the bottom. Cole sat at the breakfast bar, a big grin on his face the moment he had seen me walk into the kitchen, listening to Mum singing happy birthday to me so out of tune it hurt, the way she did every single birthday.“Happy Birthday sis!” He stood to
