Camilla's POV
ALPHA'S HATED MATE
Camilla’s POV
I don’t know how long I’ve been sleeping but each time I tried to open my eyes, they fell shut again, and to sleep I wandered up until now. I can move my body, but barely, sitting up on the soft mattress which smells nothing like mine, I take a look at the room nothing is familiar the walls are grey and pink as if someone was painting over the pink and they failed to complete it, it’s spacious and it smells like bubblegum in here, the scent is flaring up my nostrils causing my head to hurt even more.
Instinctively I get out of bed and try to open the door. I try twice before realising it’s locked, I call out to Arielle three times with no response, not even the sound of someone passing by hauls the air that’s when panic sets in I can’t take it I seem to be running out of air, my lungs are desperate for every breath that I take, when I’m scared I forget to breathe now I know you’d wonder how someone forgets to breathe well it just happens.
Before I know it I’m crying my eyes out in the corner of the room. I hate being locked up even if there is room, I feel claustrophobic when I’m deserted. The door opens and the scent of bubblegum mixes with an expensive perfume like the one Ryan wears but it’s not there’s a slight difference.
I blink through my tears to see the person in front of me, I back up further into the corner when I discover it’s Beta Santiago. Fear creeps into my bones as I stare at him with wide eyes. “Hey.” He says softly as he walks towards me.
Images from last night flash before my eyes, that’s right he was there last night him and Alpha Adrian, they were arguing with Ryan. I must have passed out because I was frightened to death when they came into my room. “Get up, I’m not gonna hurt you.” He mumbles as he studies me.
I don’t give him a response, I just stare at him blankly with tears gushing down my face. “Alright.” He raises his hands in the air, stepping back from me a little bit.
“Ryan?” I manage to squeak out.
“Ryan isn’t here. I know you might be a little confused but how about I clear that up for you that’s what I’m here for.” He smiles offering me his hand and when I don't take it, he takes a seat on the floor beside me making sure there is just enough space between us to make me feel less uncomfortable.
“Let’s start off on the right foot here.” He yawns. “I know you’re probably scared of me but I’m not that bad nor is this pack as long as you don’t piss us off. And you haven’t done anything to piss anyone off so dont worry, you’re safe here.”
Wait, this pack? What am I doing at Golden Hunters Pack? Did they kidnap me?
“I’m Santiago and you are?”
Of course I know who he is, everyone does but he doesn’t need to know me, he just had to go call my brother. I shake my head sucking in a breath of fresh air, panic setting in again. “It’s okay just breathe, you know you still have to tell me your name or I won’t leave.” His voice is so calming and he smiles a lot.
I sniff, trying not to gaze at him. “Ca-Cami…Camilla.”
He grins widely at me, “See, we are getting somewhere.”
“I wan-want to go home.” I manage to say without stuttering, well a little stuttering.
“But you’re home, this is your home now you’re going to be staying here now and I’m sure you know why. We talked to Ryan. He knows everything so to answer your question that hasn’t been asked yet, we didn’t kidnap you, Luna.”
I sob as more tears fall, so I’m never going home again. I won't see Ryan or Micheal. I can’t live without them, those people are my entire life. I can't be without them.
“Tell you what, you seem tired, why don’t you take a shower, I will get you something to eat and we can talk more. What would you like to eat?’’ He smiles.
I shake my head, I don’t want to eat, I want to go home, to Black Moon pack, with my brothers and Arielle and everyone else that lives in our house.
“I see we’ll need a mediator here, so I will get someone.” He announces getting up. He leaves and I bury my head between my knees and I cry, I cry for Ryan I cry for myself for the horrible luck I have. I don’t know at what point the door opens and I can smell Beta’s perfume again, he’s not alone.
“Elle, You know what to do, just don’t scare her and you know why I chose you for this.” He tells the person he’s with and I don’t even want to speak.
“My lips are sealed.” A woman retorts.
“You know what you have to do, she's right there.”
“Hey girl?” it’s more of a question to herself than a greeting.
“Luna look up.” Beta demands, his voice is calm but I know he doesn’t want to spend more time in here, persuading me so I do as he says because I know that he may sound sweet but behind all the smiles and laughs is a devil’s apprentice, they all are, everyone from this pack is that.
I catch a glimpse of the woman he is with, Michelle, she's Michael’s twin sister. She’s wearing a lab coat so I assume she completed medical school. She wanted to be a gynaecologist but ended up specialising in surgery.
Michelle joined this pack years ago she found her mate when she was sixteen and moved in with this pack. I had a feeling she didn’t like our pack, Mom was strict with her, she never went out alone and wasn’t to spend more than two hours away from home.
I guess when she got a glimpse of liberty or a way out, she left.
Michelle and I were never close, I was closer to Delilah and Selena compared to her but we had a huge sisterly bond, when she babysat me, she’d give me a coloring book and a bunch of sugary sweets I wasn’t allowed to have and we were good.
“What’s her name?” Michelle asks.
Oh of course she doesn’t recognize me, I’ve changed a lot for starters I’m wearing contact lenses and I colored my hair blonde she left before I hit puberty, I did miss her sometimes but she never did like Arielle and I loved Arielle from the first day I met her so I decided it was okay she wasn’t around anymore.
“Camilla.” Santiago tells her before he leaves us, closing the door behind him.
Michelle has changed, she grew into her boobs which were too big for her slender body long ago, she has some weight on her now, it might be baby weight but she looks great.
“Hmm so Camilla, look I’m a busy person, I have duties so let’s get this done. Take a shower hunny and I will see what I can do about clothes. What size are you? Mmmm like a medium never mind take a bath in there I will be back in a sec. Come on we both don’t have time.” She gestures to the bathroom, I get up and she lets out a smile of satisfaction. I go in and take a bath, I’m not crying anyone, my eyes are burning because I slept with my fucking contacts in and I never sleep with them in. When I’m done I find a hoodie, a Nike T-shirt and a pair of jeans laid out for me with Nike socks, she could tell I was freezing. I wear everything and it fit’s, the hoodie is a little oversized but I like it that way.
Michelle returns and this time she’s not wearing her lab coat, she’s wearing a floral print jumpsuit. “Welcome to the Midnight Saint you’re now a golden Hunter though we haven’t had anyone like you in a while I’m sure with a little training you’ll be okay. I might be in charge of training you if Alpha decides but like I elaborated earlier, you can’t tell anyone you’re his Luna yet is that clear? ”
I just stare at her amazed she’s not the same girl that left Dark Moon Pack.
“Are you a mute?” She cringes and I shake my head, she studies me for a second then shakes it off.
“Okay so in this pack we have a few rules, rule number one always I mean always obey Alpha Adrian he has the final say in everything. Don't question him, don’t bother him, he wants you as far as possible. He asked me to tell you to suck it up and feel at home because you’ll be here for a long time.” She elaborates, no emotion in her facial expression whatsoever. That's something I’ve noticed about people from this pack, they deadpan everything and show little emotion when they speak to rivals.
“Are you listening to me or just staring at me hoping you can stare into my soul?” She snarls, “Well if so, stop it. No one here has a soul, the second you step into Midnight Saints, just know you're going to lose your Sanity and your soul soon enough.” She smirks, “Anyway tell me what you'd like to eat and I will have someone prepare it for you.”
“Hello, I'm talking to you. Can you talk?” She snaps when I don't give her an answer.
“Look if you act like you are now with anyone in this pack they will eat you alive, even the weakest here will pick on you because you don't have any teeth, where did they get you?” She rolls her eyes, pissed off by my lack of conversation skills.
“Dark Moon.” I tell her, almost like a whisper to myself and for a second I see a hint of emotion.
“Milla?” she whispers, studying me more carefully as I nod my response, she lets out an audible gasp. “Oh no, this is a mess.”
