Alpha's Hated Mate

Kingston's POV

(ADRIAN BREAK'S UP WITH HER.)

***Six months***

The past six months have been hectic. Angel moved to Silverline so she could take care of Kyrie since I took him with me.

Karla absolutely hates her. She can stand her as a human being but won't let her get closer than hello and bye conversations. She's warming up to Kyrie a little bit but it's a working progress for everyone.

Camilla broke up with Adrian 2 months ago on Arieya's first day of school which was also Karla's 9th. Camilla was so happy and he crashed her happiness. Now all she's been doing is crying all night in her room and when she comes out she's Alpha Camilla emotionless and Ruthless.

She's hurting but pretends she's all good, some days she won't come out of her room. She works from there. I can't let her get worse so I'll have to talk to Adrian. He thinks staying away from her is doing her good but it's not, it's breaking her heart and he's broken it enough times.

I set out early and found Mirabelle in the kitchen and whispered to her hearing. “Beta I'm going out to do that thing we discussed.”

Belle wanted to speak when a familiar footstep approaching shut her up.

“What thing?”

“Nothing important.” I deny patting Belle's hair.

She nods, strolling into the kitchen and attends to the coffee percolator.

“Yes please, maybe he'll listen to you because the situation is getting out of hand.” Belle says to me making a false conversation seem real.

“What situation might that be?” Camilla turns with a hot coffee in her hand curiously.

“Some peeps at the school.” Belle alleges.

Camilla dumps the coffee at the sink pissed. “Okay I need a drink.”

I knew she never made the coffee to drink, she's been bloating and needed an escape and alcohol was her right handed ally.

“You're not allowed to drink after that little suicide attempt.” My voice boomed, putting her to order. Camila can't be trusted with herself, not even her shadow; they're both dangerous.

“I was drunk and I wasn't going to kill myself I was enjoying the view.” She defends clicking her tongue to the roof of her mouth.

“Whatever it was, you can't drink that much ever again.” I conclude let her sit her excesses out but not on my watch will she attempt self destruct.

“You do know I'm not Arieya or Karla right?” She clap back annoyed.

“He's right and I disposed of those ice cubes in your fridge upstairs.” Belle came to my rescue.

“Belle!” she yelled.

“You're welcome and how did you come up with the idea of making alcoholic Ice cubes so you suck on them?”

Camilla gritted her teeth folding her fist. “You are supposed to be my friend.”

“I am your friend and that's why I'm going to tell you right now that you're acting stupid you need a therapist you're insane you know that.”

Before Camilla gives us one of her smart comebacks. Angel joins us.

“What do you want?” I bask the minute my eyes fall on her. There's a possibility she wants a favor and like father Christmas I fulfil those wishes.

“Can I take Karla to the hair salon with me?” she said in a heartbeat.

“How does she feel about that?”

“I didn't ask her, I thought I should ask you first.” Angel makes puppy eyes hoping I talk Karla into going with her which won't work if Karla decides not to. The mother and daughter relationship has been strained and it doesn't look promising even in the future.

“If she wants to go then why not?” Camilla hijacks the topic smiling friendly at Angel. The way they bounced from enemies to allies still has me shook women and their ways.

“Ah speaking of the little devil there she is.” I say as Karla runs into the kitchen and hugs Camilla.

“Hey mommy.”

“Karla, your hair is a mess.” Mirabelle scrutinised with her gaze.

“Hey, leave my baby alone.” I clicked my tongue offensively at Belle as she grimaced.

“I got it wet in the swimming pool sorry.” Karla pleads her fingers playing with the hem of her dress.

“It’s fine, don't you want to go to the hairstylist Angel is going I'm sure she won't mind taking you.” Mirabelle offered ruffling her hair. A wise take to get the younger girl into leaving with Angel. Let's see how that goes.

Karla looks up and Camilla releases her from her hold.

“No, I don't want to go to the hairstylist. Mommy does my hair. I never go to the salon and I won't go. I don't want to go to the hairstylist.” Karla refuses shaking her head. I walk up to her pulling her into my arms and steady her body. She's still frightened by Angel.

“Okay.” I concurred.

“How about you just accompany Angel?” Camilla used her vulnerable weak tone which always works with the girls.

“No thank you, I'd rather put my hands in Rissa's mouth.” Karla grinned.

I choke on laughter and Camilla glares at me like it's my fault Karla doesn't want Angel.

“It would make me happy.” Camilla insists.

“Fine I'll go with her it's no different from putting my hands in the mouth of Hermana's pet tiger.”

Mirabelle scoffs. “This one is more Camilla than Camilla herself.”

“I'll go but one condition.” She draws the last word "Condition."

“Yes I'll let you stay up late watching television.”

“God no TV is a waste of time unless on Saturdays and besides my condition is serious. She must not try to play mommy with me.” Karla declares and I stilled in place from how hard the words hit.

“Play with you?” I asked in disbelief of what I heard her say.

“I mean she must not try to be my mother. I don't want her to play mommy with me. I have a mommy already.” She says looking at Angel.

“Okay I promise you I won't play mommy with you I get you don't like me and Camilla is your mother.” Angel speaks a hint of joy in her voice; the reality of spending time with Karla overrides her anger.

“Good well then let's go.” Karla says, dragging Angel out the kitchen.

“That's one way to start, at least she touched her.” Mirabelle says as she leaves the kitchen to the three of us as before.

I sit at the old kitchen mahogany stool

“Angel should be her friend first instead of directly stepping in the mother role when Karla was without her for so long.”

“I'm out too.” I say getting out of the kitchen.

“Bring me back some coke!” Camilla yelled cursing in the background.

Mirabelle shakes her head at me and I exit. Mia can't make a habit of doing drugs. She already smokes on a regular basis. I grab my car keys from the Key rank and drive to meet Adrian. I greet him and take my seat next to Santiago. Of course these two never do anything without each other, it's like they're Belle & Camilla.

Santiago cocked his eyebrow as he studies me and whatever I'm about to see will take a lot of time and a little drama. “Not to be rude King but we have a meeting in half an hour.”

“Yea I'll be brief.”

“What's wrong, is this about Arieya?” Adrian asks the first time he says a thing since I got here. Low-key he sees me as a threat to him and Mia and now he can't hide his jealousy when I walk in. He thinks I'm here to announce to his face on getting married to her. Little did he know he's the reason I'm here because that woman can't stop loving him no matter how hard she tries.

“It’s not about Arieya right now but it might be about her as well soon if you don't man up.”

Santiago masks up his laughter but smiles.

“What's up with you and breaking Cami's heart?” I hit the hammer on the nail.

“I must say he has a talent for it.” Santiago concurs and did the fuck you sign.

“Shut up and I didn't break her heart this time. I'm avoiding exactly that like Santiago said. I seem to have a talent for breaking the woman I love that's why I'm not with her. I had no choice, it's the only chance I got to tell her and shouldn't you be happy I'm not sleeping with your girlfriend anymore.” He snarls.

I laugh at his stupidity.

“She's not my girlfriend, she has never been my girlfriend. We hooked up a few times when we first met but she's not my girlfriend. I love her because who couldn't love her? She's amazing but she can't give her heart to any other man. She can't love anyone else except you even when she hates you she loves you!” I yelled loudly if that would help him imprint the fact into his brain, a very dull brain he has.

“So you and Camilla aren't a thing?” Santiago expressed shock and gobsmacked about the truth.

“No she's like the sister I never had, she's my Best friend.” I affirm nothing would take her place not even death or another life she remains my beautiful.

“You call her beautiful and kiss her?” Santiago snorts. Now I see why they make a perfect Beta and Alpha; the two asses are an annoying pair.

“You won't get it but the kisses are the same as forehead kisses for us. Camilla loves Adrian and he needs to apologise to her for whatever he said.” I explain. Apart from earlier we got touchy and took things to a romantic field. We stopped all of it when she decided she wanted Adrian. I've been alone hooking up with some beautiful women but nothing serious.

“I can't do that.” Adrian counters stubbornly.

“I am tired of walking into her room at 2 am and hearing her sobbing. I can't take it. I'm sorry but I love her way too much for this. You have to go and apologize, put things another way if you must, one way that won't hurt her so much, one way that won't turn her into a drug addict or alcoholic.”

Santiago hum’s my response. “I agree with this guy. Adrian if you don't go and apologise to Camilla I'm dragging you down there myself.”

“Damn right!” I cheer Santiago on boosting his morale.

“You know Camilla deserves the world but all she wants is your love bruh get some sense into that head of yours. Staying away from her is breaking her heart. Do you want to ruin her forever?” Santiago talks to Adrian whose face is devoid of emotions. He's one lucky bastard. I wish I was in his place to be the one to wake up next to her in the morning and retire to bed in her blooming embrace.

“No, I don't think I can make her happy again.” Adrian expresses regrets as he closes and opens his eyes. His eyes looked red like the emotions had begun to hit harder where necessary.

“Come on, this is Camilla. She's happy with the little things in life. The simple things of waking up to you every morning would make her happy, seeing you smile will make her happier and spending time with you will make her happiest.” Santiago intercedes. It gave me some sort of relief he isn't a douchebag like I thought.

“Just give it a try.”

He peered at me with his dangerous stares and I responded stern for sternness, fire for fire. I won't leave until he does the right thing and takes her back. Mia has depreciated into a shadow of her bubbling life and under no circumstance will I watch her get washed over.

“I want to give it more than a try.” Adrian confesses.

My palms connected to the other rendering loud strikes. “Go for it then.”

“Either go on your own or I'll make you do it.” Santiago drags his arms wanting to lift him to his feet on the go.

“And I'll help him.”

“I just…” Adrian pauses. He sounds and looks scared who would have thought the powerful Adrian Carter is so weak and scared out of wit because of a woman.

“Don't overthink it life happens, take this chance whatever happens in the future let it.” I advise.

“I told you Adrian you can't change the past, don't continue to dwell and judge yourself based on what an immature selfish young you did. You're not that person anymore you've had growth you are just as miserable as Camilla all that puking you've been doing the dizziness you're just pathetic without her so be great again and get your Luna.” Santiago takes the bull by the horn hitting the damages all the way leaving no stones unturned.

“Okay you're right I love Mia and I'm not the same person I was when I met her. I'm going to get my woman back even if it kills me.” He said with renewed confidence as he wiped something from his cheek. I didn't look enough to catch earlier that he had been crying.

“Finally you understand what took you so damn long six fucking months I've been trying to convince you.” Santiago chuckles, punching Adrian's arms as they burst into laughter.

“He's hard headed.” I observe.

“Enough okay don't trash me I was a coward for not going after her despite the consequences.” Adrian begged.

“The only consequences awaiting you are happiness, peace, love, nail scratches and temper tantrums.”

“And babies please tell me Arieya will have little brothers and sisters.” Santiago asked.

Adrian shakes his head in thoughts. “That's up to Camilla, it's her body, I can't make that decision.”

“Adrian treat her right. If you break her heart I'm going to break your face.” I warn pointing at him sternly. He better not go back into Angel's panties or slip by fucking some random whore or else I'll put my life in the line to end him.

“Don't worry I'll never break her heart again and besides I would rather break her back.” he says smiling.

My work here is done. I turned to leave when I felt a slight tap on my shoulder and I turned around to see Santiago towering closely.

“Thanks for coming out here.”

“I'll need your help with something both of you.” Adrian appeals.

“Anything as long as it's for her.” I answer. He has nothing to worry about when it's Mia related. I'm her foot soldier.

“It is.”

“What's the plan?” Santiago asked, flipping his attention to Adrian.

“I've spent so much time away from Mia I want to marry her in the next few weeks.”

“What!” I exclaimed, choking on my spittle as I let out a cough. If anyone would have told me Adrian has such intentions I wouldn't have believed.

Adrian rolls his eyes not detailed by my surprise outburst. “Help me plan a surprise wedding when it's ready I'll go and ask her and if she says no then well we'll have a party.”

“She won't say no and I think it's an amazing idea.” I blessed the idea.

“Bruh you don't just plan a woman's wedding without her.” Santiago doubts.

“Mirabelle can help.” I spinned.

“Yes and I know some things she'd like to have at our wedding. I'm sure as hell Camilla would love to get married in our garden. It's her favourite place.” Adrian says in fondness like a memory he had years ago and now he can't wait to put it into reality.

“Or her mother's house that she purchased 3years ago the garden is beautiful as well and the pool it's a beautiful house.” I said my part in his statement. Camilla has always been open to things that matters most to her and those were things that shaped her into her person.

“Okay so we'll have to ask Camilla without her knowing.” Santiago rubs his stubbles at his dissection.

“How?”

I set Adrian's worries to the rest. “I'll create a fake survey and make her choose her options then we'll get whatever she chooses done or we could create a gaming app and I'll make up some story.”

“Gentlemen we have a wedding to pull off and we'll need lots of help!” Adrian sounded victorious already, that's the spirit.

“Kendall, her assistant can keep her occupied for as long as you need.” I plotted.

“We need people that know Camilla so well like Arielle.” Santiago says.

Adrian looks awful. “I can't step foot in Ryan's pack.”

“I'll let her know.”

“Thank You.” Adrian brings out a hand for a shake and I take it as we shake hands.

“It’s fine I'm doing it for Camilla, you and her have proven love is real and it's only fair you guys have a happy ending.”

“They deserve it. They've been through shit with or without each other.” Santiago cements my statement.
