Fated but Hated のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 81 - チャプター 90

Flashback – 8 years ago I had been out for my run, and was heading back down through the paths of pack, the sun was shining gloriously today, so sitting in the office focusing on the stack of papers greeting me had not been appealing in the slightest, so the run had most certainly been calling.As I crossed the road, I noticed a familiar small figure ahead, almost skipping along as she walked. This little mischief. Her little head bopping along as if to imaginary music as she walked. I made my way toward her, and she seemed totally oblivious of my presence.“Now, now, now…” I greeted Seren, making her eyes dart upward toward me. She swallowed heavily the moment she realized it was me, her eyes widened, and both filled with fear. I could not help but smile as I continued. “Where would you be sneaking off to little lady?”“Erm…” Seren began, her eyes darting around like she was searching for an answer. She was the sweetest little thing. So unlike the rowdy boys, but yet strangely able

Flashback – 8 years ago Pack had descended into chaos and it concerned me. We had always been so well organized when it came to training for things like this. Perhaps because Rogue attacks were so rare now we were out of practice. But, I had the greatest of faith in all of my pack members, especially my warriors squads and guards.‘Baby, you and the kids are all safe and at home, aren’t you?’ I linked my mate, and Luna, Zoe. Yes, priority was to ensure my pack was safe, but orders were out there, the pack knew what to do. My other priority was also my family. My mate and my son and heir.‘I am, and Marcus is with me, he hadn’t gone to join the boys yet as he had homework to finish.’ Her voice, be it through the link or not was a welcomed sound. I have never been more glad that she was being stricter on Marcus of late to prepare him for the responsibilities of role of Alpha one day. &l

I was rushing, there was no time to wait. I wanted to put this right. I had royally fucked up, and I needed to do all I could to correct that. Of course, I knew it was unlikely to be easy. After all, Seren had seemingly given up all hope of us. I had made her angry. Understandably so. Not only that, but there was still so much to process…‘Fucking process?’ My wolf roared angrily. ‘It is too late for fucking processing. Processing should have been done a long time ago. Did you not hear what your Uncle told you? Your mind was misleading you. Your very thoughts were going in the wrong direction. Your anger taking her away. You could have cost us our fated!’A sinking feeling sat within my belly. I hoped my wolf was wrong. I would need to process all the information I had learned. I knew that. Ignoring it was never going to help. All this had taught me that. But, first we needed to fix this. I could not lose Seren. Not now. Not after everyth

Cole’s eyes met mine. Eyes full of questions. Questions and blame. The coldness remained, but I did not have time for the argument we had moments ago been in the throes of. I needed to find my mate. I needed to fix this. I did not wait a moment longer, I was already moving toward the door.‘What do you mean she is nowhere in pack Marcus?’ I demanded. Seren had been in pack not that long ago. She had been in the office with Marcus and I. She had stormed away in one of her mood swings she was known for. We had assumed she needed time to cool down, and she would be good again. How the hell had it gone from that to her no longer being in pack? It made no sense. Had things become too much for her and she ran?‘I wanted to talk to her about the plans she gave me, so I linked her, and I got no reply. So, I thought maybe she was in a mood with me, which would be understandable considering the way she reacted in the office, so I chose t

The drive to the City had to be one of the longest and most awkward I think there had ever been. Three friends who had spent countless hours together in the car over the years, all now sitting alongside one another with not a word to say between them. Tension hanging heavy within the air while we all waited stressfully to arrive to our destination. The city was one within only half an hour from the pack. A decent distance when it came to being far enough away to give us the privacy we needed as a wolfpack, but close enough for the supplies and things we also needed. It also meant that it offered some escape for those wanting to have time away from packlife… and I cannot help but wonder if that was what Seren had been looking for.Cole had not spoken a word to me. His darkened eyes glowering at me from across the car instead. I knew he had questions, and the unease he was feeling was evident from the way his fingers were tapping upon his thighs. But I don’t think
