Santiago's Pov
ALPHAS HATED MATE
Santiago's POV
When I dropped off the girls, I took some time to go run a few errands before I went back to the pack house. When I arrive a second time, I look for him in his bedroom but he isn't there so I look for him in his other room, where I do find him. What I didn't anticipate was to see him with his hand in between the legs of one of the girls from a rival pack.
I clear my throat and he turns his attention to me.
“Ever heard of knocking?” He roars.
“Get rid of her.” I announce, referring to the girl on his bed.
“You heard him darling.” he notifies her.
She bows her head and leaves us, very obedient.
“What the fuck is wrong with you man you interrupted me.”
“With what that skinny bimbo, man don't you have taste in women anymore?”
He gestures to the door, “That's the girl from Lenny's pack, do you know how hard it was to get her to tell me the info I need.”
I roll my eyes at him, “Let me guess she'll tell you once you fuck her?”
“What do you want, Santiago?” He says zipping up his pants that I didn't notice were open.
I raise the file, using it to point at him. “First of all we can't have you fucking anyone up in here.”
“You're not my wife.” he chortle's.
“But… but your wife will be here soon.” I tease just to annoy him.
“Get to the point!” He derides.
“It's all there.” I say tossing him the file.
He opens it and quickly goes through it, “What's all this, there is no Address just a name with allergies and shit do I look like a doctor Santiago?” He growls.
I point to the file, “Her name.” He still looks at me clueless and irritated. “Camilla Mia Burton, does that ring a bell?”
His eyes widen as it sinks in and I laugh because the expression on his face is too good, so good that I take a picture.
Adrian's Mate is the little sister slash cousin of his biggest competition and also the one person he doesn't get along with.
Every time they see each other they restrain themselves from killing each other. Now I'm guessing it's because Hunter could smell his mate on Ryan and he never wanted to be near him.
We have signed so many agreements to not get in each other's ways and one of those agreements, in fact the most important is that neither Alpha's step into the other's territory. “You're driving.” I say tossing him my car keys.
The drive to Black Moon Pack is six hours long, we start off at 4pm and we get there at 10pm thanks to Adrian's speeding. We are welcomed with chaos when we get to the pack entrance, people run and some hide.
Honestly I understand these people, we have never been to this pack, people from our pack and from this pack can visit each other but Adrian and I can't come here neither can Ryan and Christian come to ours.
Alpha Ryan comes into view, “Alpha Adrian, Beta Santiago what do I owe the pleasure? We agreed you don't cross my stuff I don't cross yours but here we are, you're at my pack causing well.. you're dismaying my people.”
Well that's one way to greet each other.
“Relax, we come in peace.” Adrian says.
“Well then, take a seat.” He gestures to the seats adjacent to his desk.
“We will be brief because we aren't supposed to be here.” Adrian admits, and I don't like being here either.
Adrian sinks into his seat, “I will go straight to the point.”
“Go ahead.” Alpha Ryan says looking at his watch.
Okay that's my que to be the lawyer I'm training to be. Adrian will owe me for this, he will owe me big time that's for sure. I straighten in my seat, “As you know many of our pack members have joined your pack this year, three of which are great warriors.”
“I'm aware.” Alpha Ryan says peeking at his watch, it’s like we dusturbed him.
“What he is trying to say is we want one of yours.” Adrian says trying to help but he isn't helping.
I look from Adrian to Alpha Ryan, “We have lost our pack members to yours so to make up for it, we want one of yours to ensure if they spill our secrets yours will spill yours too.”
What am I doing? This doesn't make any sense at all.
“Sure, I will give you my greatest warrior.”
I almost choke on laughter, it's cute he thinks we came all the way for some random person. “We don't want your greatest warrior.”
“Then who do you want?” He tenses in his chair.
A scream pierces the air and he jolts up in record speed. “Excuse me.” he says getting up. When he doesn't return in over five minutes, we follow him, his scent leads us to a bedroom upstairs, the door is open, he is comforting someone.
We lean on either side of the door. “Princess I said it's okay, take a deep breath. You're okay and she's in a better place.” He says trying to persuade her but she's shaking her head. “Good job Milla. Now I have to go, I have a last minute meeting and I will check on you when I'm done.”
She nods and he places a kiss on top of her head and Adrian growls, I kick his foot, thanks to Adrian's growl, Alpha Ryan and Camilla see us, she instantly hides behind him. I clear my throat. “Alpha Ryan, we want her.”
“Beta, my little sister is definitely not up for trading.”
“I think Santiago didn't stutter.” Adrian snarls.
“Well, I am not giving my sister to you and if it's war you want? Please do go on but keep in mind the princess is not going anywhere. You'd have to kill me first, which both of you combined wouldn't succeed in doing so with all due respect. Leave my pack before I do something I regret based on what I can only describe as foolish demands.” He says softly, but his tone is threatening.
“I am sorry Alpha Ryan but no matter what happens here, we will be leaving with your sister because she is fated to the Golden Hunters.” I argue.
Annoyed with my attempt to squabble, he pulls something from his pocket and brings Camilla in for a hug and injects her with lord knows what in her arm she lets out a little ‘ouch’ before passing out into his arms.
He places her onto the mattress as Adrian keeps his eyes on her, I see so much rage in him but he is not important right now.
Alpha Ryan and I argued it out without any valid points until he gave in, turns out all I had to do was tell him. “Her mate belongs to our pack, she was probably scared to tell you but he wasn't scared to tell us and he is going through a rough time. He just lost his mom, having her there would help him mentally and emotionally.” And of course he believes me because unlike Adrian he has faith in the mate bond. Part of our agreement was that Camilla could go to his pack whenever she felt like it and that if anything happens to her, he will have our heads.
Once again on our way back, Adrian drives because he doesn't want to touch or be near his mate so Beta to the rescue and at the pack house, I have to carry her in because he is acting like the brat he accuses Belle of being. When we walk through the doors, everyone is busy with their own thing. The ones that do see us know not to ask questions. “She's lighter than I anticipated.” I notify him.
He arches his eyebrow, “I didn't ask for her weight.”
“You're being an asshole for no reason.”
He pauses in his tracks, turning to me. “No reason? I just drove over twelve hours and it's fucking 4:00 am and I'm tired!”
“You know what, I think I like her. Gives me time to look like a hero.”
He starts walking again. “Take her, she's all yours.”
“I think I will enjoy getting to know this one.” I laugh. Anyone pissing Adrian this much is worth gold.
“A human with wolf blood? Shoot me.”
