Lahat ng Kabanata ng Fated To The Alpha Masters: Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

It wasn't the first time I had seen Damian Crown. I had seen numerous pictures of him in various places. I knew what the man looked like and sounded like. I knew everything about the man, but despite all my knowledge and intel, nothing could have prepared me for the revelation that I was his mate.My wolf was over the moon to finally meet our mate, but the only thing I felt while looking at him was dread. This was not what I had asked for. He was not what I wanted. In my wildest dreams, I could never have imagined that I'd get paired with none other than Damian Crown.The man whom I loathed fiercely. The man who was the reason for many people's misery. All I had asked for was a kind and nurturing mate who'd love me no matter what. But the man sitting closer to me and staring at me was anything but kind and nurturing.He was a ruthless beast. And he was my mate? I was doomed.I should've seen this coming when I asked the moon goddess for a mate. Back then, I had suspected there must ha

~~~ ISABELLE ~~~"You're underestimating me,” he insisted, giving me a pointed look. "I'm the Alpha of the ShadowNight pack. There's nothing I couldn't do for you." He contested; if anything, it made me want to laugh louder.Instead, I smiled at him and wondered if he'd say the same if he knew who I was. I guess not, but at the same time, new ideas sprouted in my head- of how I could fuck with him now that I knew he was my mate and how eager he was to get me. Hmm... it already felt exciting, and I needed to consider it.But for now, I didn't trust myself with him in the same room, especially with my wolf growing more eager to get closer to him. His pheromones were also growing more potent in the room with every second. I was afraid that if I stayed there longer, he might make me go into heat, mainly because he was an alpha.His wolf was mighty and domineering. He'd want to secure me as his mate as soon as possible by claiming me. I needed to get out of there before it was too late."I

~~~ ISABELLE ~~~It took me longer than usual to get home. I kept wandering for a while to ensure Damian hadn't sent anyone to follow me home. Fortunately, he didn't, but I didn't want to take my chances, so I lingered around the beach for a while, processing everything that had happened earlier in the evening.Damian Crown was my mate.I found it hard to stomach. I didn't want to do anything romantically with him. I wanted to do the opposite— ruin him and his brother. I wanted to see them suffer the same way they had made others suffer. I wanted to give them the pain they had given to the people I loved and cared for.It had been so fucking easy for them to wipe away everything that had mattered to me in a single blow. Damian destroyed everything I had with a single stroke. How could I ever think of being with him?Now that I was reminding myself of the past, of the terrible flashbacks and the nightmares, the effect of his pheromones seemed to be washing away gradually. I was no long

~~~ AIDEN ~~~I couldn't sleep again. This was becoming my new standard. Instead of getting frustrated, I decided to use my time productively. I took my laptop to the hotel lounge and researched Damian’s mate.He didn't seem to be in a good mood, so I left him alone for the night. He needed some rest because he had been working endlessly for the past couple of weeks trying to find out about Alex. He had been the one to take on all the burden while the rest of us could frolic around. My brother needed a break.I reviewed all the details the cyber team had sent Damian about Isabelle. At first, everything about her seemed normal, but I felt something wasn't right.The more I tried to find out about her, the less information I got.It gradually corroborated my belief that something was wrong with her data. It all felt planted carefully. I didn't uncover much about her education or work experience.I found whatever info was available on the pack website— she was a junior administrator at

~~~ AIDEN ~~~It turned out that Alex had gone further than freezing one of our important offshore bank accounts. She practically created several fake cases of money laundering and tax evasion as well, and now we were being monitored by the federal agents.Wow! That was a huge mess. It was not the kind we couldn't deal with, but it was still a huge mess and pretty annoying. It would quickly eat away months of our time to clear such a mess."This means one thing," I stated, “She knows we are here and looking for her. And she doesn't like it. She wants to keep up distracted and busy.”"Of course, she doesn't,” Damian gritted, looking through the documents. I studied him for a couple of seconds to ensure he was alright. Even though he didn't show it on the exterior, I knew my brother was still shocked and hurt to discover that Isabelle had forged her information.If anything, this made me think more about her.Even though it was a wild guess, I felt that Isabelle had some connection
