Camilla's POV
Alpha's Hated Mate.
Camilla’s POV.
Thirteen days, that’s how long I’ve been here, I went to school most days, Alpha and Beta drive us there and back. I try to keep out of Raquel’s way.
I always make sure to be the one place she won’t be but sometimes I fail and Mirabelle drags me with her but Racheal often comes to the rescue. I guess it plays out well for me since they don’t have the same friends and that Racheal can’t stand Raquel.
I have hung out with Michelle twice where she didn’t talk to me about weird stuff like pack history and rules. We just had a milkshake together and talked about regular things, she refuses to talk about the past.
And I was right she’s pregnant, she found me crying in the garden because I was sad and we talked, she gave me advice and I told her she’d be a great mother.
A package arrived at the door for me a week ago when I was in my room working on the class assignment Mirabelle brought home. She came to me and told me to write it too because it’s more like a take-home quiz. I don’t know who sent me half my clothes which surprised Santiago because there were six suitcases, seven if you count the one with my favourite shoes as well as a few pictures drawn by the kids I would babysit sometimes, the Berlin Sextuplets’s such a handful.
I liked the pictures a lot and it made me miss them as well as home.
I hadn’t unpacked them yet, I was too busy but today I opened them, I started by going through my books, and the kids drawings.
I set the drawings on my nightstand and turned on my phone. Yes, I have a new phone. Beta bought me an iPhone 11 about a week ago which I’ve been using without syncing. When I pick it up, the battery is hundred percent charged, I bring it to my face to unlock it.
I begin to work on it, making sure Everything from my old phone which isn’t much considering I rarely use my phone makes it. The second I’m done, it vibrates with text messages, emails as well as Instagram messages, and telegrams every platform I’m on. One specific text catches my attention, ‘Fav Alpha’ with heart eyes and a black heart emoji.
Fav Alpha to Princess: Hey princess, I miss you a lot, I hope you’re not mad at me for giving you away like I did if so I’m sorry but I did what would have to be done sooner or later. I haven’t told Mom and dad anything yet but Arielle is mad at me. I don't think she’ll ever get over living without you. She slept in your room crying the day I gave you away but I think she’s better now. I will always love you no matter what you are, veteran or golden hunter heck even Oaxi I’d love you the same. Study hard for your exams, I want to see that Law degree with your name on it oe engineering if you decide to go for option two.
I blink back the tears that threaten to fall, but some escape me. I can't help it, I miss my brother.
Princess to Fav Alpha: Hey Ry I miss you a lot, I’m sorry Arielle is mad at you. I met Michelle. She was different and scares me but I’m okay. Everyone is really nice to me but I still miss home.
I close the conversation and scroll through other messages which are mostly Arielle, Tamika, Micheal, Vanessa and Ashanti saying they miss me and hope I’m okay. I guess they didn’t know I don’t have my phone, Arielle went as far as to say and I quote, “Even if your new life is awesome please text me baby, I miss you. I wish you’d come home now.” I don’t like my new life, I like my old life with them, my new life has a mate that spends his time giving attention to every female but me. I guess the Moon goddess didn’t get my prayer request that included what I wanted in a mate, No? Yea I thought so.
I text the ladies back and check my telegram messages, in the school, there’s just shit about Mirabelle and some guy named Xander, who I pretty much witnessed get sent to the afterlife.
My blood runs cold at the memory of it. Opening WhatsApp, I find over four thousand messages in a group I’m in, from our pack, it’s for youths.
The first few messages are about Alpha’s little sister going to Golden Hunters and how they’re enemies now, just great.
Seeing that I can't read all the texts, I exit. Going to my ‘Babysitting gurus.’ Group chat which just has thirty-five messages, it’s a group for babysitters in the pack, it consists of me and five other girl’s: Lexi, Jane, Tiana, Evelyn and Grace who I would slimy call friends. The first message is from Tiana.
Tiana: Guy’s I hear Camilla left, Milla where are you? Confirm‼!
Eve: She did leave, I’m babysitting Cora tonight.
Grace: omg no.
I scroll to the last few messages.
Jane: So what do we do, take her out of the group?
Lexi: Nope, she’ll be back online, leave it, change the name to something else and who will be making our schedule?
That was the last message sent in this morning at 4am, Lexi is an early bird for sure.
Milla: Sorry guys, but if it’s okay, as long as appointments are booked with Grace and she tells me, I will continue to handle our little company until you find someone else.
I text back. Within a few seconds my phone buzzes.
Tiana: Sounds fair. @Grace text Millabear.
Tiana and I go way back, we get along but calling us friend’s is a stretch I was more friends with her twin sister but that’s a story for another day, we started the company as a joke, well me and her sister whose name I don’t like to say because it brings a lot of hurt.
Later we included Tiana and after what happened with her sister, we remained the two of us with too many kids and too much healing to do so we hired and gathered four more babysitters to join us.
The money we’ve been making for three years will be split at the end of the school year.
Someone knocks on my door, I double check the time, 8:35 pm.
“Coming.” I say putting my contacts in.
I open the door and it’s Belle, “Hey, we’re gonna watch a movie, come join us.”
“Okay.” I say tossing my phone back on my bed.
I like to think Mirabelle and I are friends, we’ve talked and she’s opened up to me about why she does what she does, like sneaking around. And I understand that she’s a good person to be honest. I love her and I admire her courage and persistence. She’s who I want to be but I’m scared to try.
I follow her to the home cinema and I place myself the furthest from Alpha Adrian. Mirabelle lets out a little laugh when I do.
Racheal like always minding her business like she doesn’t know what is going on switches on the movie. It doesn’t take me long to notice it’s a horror movie, I try to contain my fear throughout the messy murders but I lose it when a young man who I admit I was crushing on from the start gets murdered. I scream hiding my face in the popcorn.
“That’s it, off to bed everyone.” Alpha growls.
“What? I’m not done watching this.” Mirabelle argues, their relationship is rocky compared to what I have with Ryan and Michael.
Getting my head out the popcorn full of shame I wipe my face.
“It’s a school night.” Santiago counters.
Fuck, I ruined it for her. I should have stayed in my room, she probably sees why Raquel hates me now.
“Fine, come on Camilla, you can sleep in my room.” She turns to me and pouts, batting her thick eyelashes. “Please, I need someone to complain to as we fall asleep.” She holds out her hand.
I take her hand, “Okay.”
“Goodnight girl’s.” Beta smiles.
“Goodnight.” Belle and I say in unison. She turns to her brother and snarls, “Rude.” In response he rolls his eyes at her.
I followed her to her room. I haven’t been in her room despite her many invites, it’s cute and not as girly as I expected, it’s colourful though, it has a few pictures of her and her name written beautifully in cursive on the wall above her bed.
“Welcome to my room Cami. Do you like it?”
“Yeah, it’s different.”
The sound that follows startles me, it’s the door closing. “Man you’re easily spooked huh and I thought the veterans are all fearless.” She giggles.
“I wasn’t necessarily trained.” I admit.
“Awesome, wanna be my training partner no one trains with me because they’re afraid if they hurt me Adrian will lose it. “She reaches for her phone, “8:53pm. I can’t sleep. I'm bored. How about we have a sleepover.”
“Okay.” I smile at her.
“I want to get to know you better there’s not many girls like you…I mean sweet, smart, cute and so innocent. But you keep running from me.” She frowns. “Also you need to stop letting me copy your maths.”
I frown at her, “You never write anything.”
“I know. I need a tutor but Alpha Grumpy will over exaggerate it.” She sighs.
“I like those butterflies that remind me of my room at Dark Moon.” I say pointing to her walking closet.
“Oh yea? You can move in anytime you like.” She smiles. “Would you like to ummm read?”
Oh God, she’s trying so hard as always every conversation I have with her. She talks more and that needs to change.
“I love to read…but I’ve read a lot today.”
“Movie?” She beams and I nod.
“How about to all the boys I’ve loved or The Princess Switch? I mean the last one isn’t good but I like the first one. Ouu I wonder if there’s a fifty shades of grey inspired movie I’d totally watch, let me look through Netflix.”
I stare at her blankly. I've heard of 50 shades trilogy but I haven’t read or seen the movie.
“You’re looking at me like you’ve never seen it.”
I shake my head and she gasps. “Oh my God, we’re watching them all.” She beams while taking her TV remote. She logs into her Netflix account and plays the first movie.
