Alpha's Hated Mate
Camilla's POV
I woke up next to flowers, beautiful red roses next to me and a box of chocolates aside. I tried to wrap my head around everything I was thinking of.
I thought it was a dream but the bite marks on my thighs and tame soreness between my legs convinced me it was a reality. I couldn't believe so many things happened overnight from me poking my arms with a knife to Adrian punishing me for it. My life changed so fast I woke up single yesterday and went to bed as a fiancee who knows maybe tomorrow I'll wake up a wife unless I'm still dreaming.
I quickly checked my hand and relaxed when I saw a ring. As I admire the beautiful diamond shining on my finger, my bedroom door opens wide and Arieya, Karla, Stacey & Zuri walk in; they're dressed in gorgeous little elegant dresses.
“Oh my God.” I breathe out. The mother fucker meant every single fucking thing he said.
“I feel stupid pretty.” Arieya giggles.
I gulped, flickering to everyone found in the room. “You girls look so cute, where are you going?”
“Your wedding.” Kendall says walking in with clothes.
“What he was serious?”
“Of Course he is now, why are you in here in bed?” Mirabelle replied. I covered my mouth realizing I said my thought bold loud.
Wow she's wearing the maid of honor dress I picked on the game I played for King.
Karla jumps me on bed. “I'm happy you're getting married mommy.”
Mirabelle pouts. “She won't get married if she stays in bed.”
Stacey glares at the golden wall clock silently hung on the left angle of the wall with apt focus. “Auntie get changed.” she admonishes.
Zuri claps her hands. “We want to eat cake so the sooner you get married the sooner we'll get to eat it.”
“Come on girls come with me.” Kendall says taking the kids and I see Arieya's eyes tearing up when she looks at me.
“What's wrong, love?”
Arieya's eyes pool with more tears. “I feel sad and happy and sad again.” she replies with a crying voice.
“Don't be sad, you look so beautiful.”
“Okay.” she sniffs.
Mirabelle lets out a wide arm. “Come to Tia.”
She runs to her and Belle picks her up.
Mirabelle faces Kendall and the kids. "Kendall it's fine I'll bring Arieya with me just take the rest of the kids I'll make sure the bride makes it.”
Kendall nods and closes the door as the rest of the kids leave with her.
Mirabelle sighs and turns to me. “Go shower so I can do your makeup.”
I nod getting out of bed.
Arieya breaks free from Mirabelle's grasp running to me. “No mommy, don't leave me.”
I palm her cheek into my hands with a loving tenderness. “I'm not leaving you Arieya, I'm going to the bathroom.”
Arieya gets clingy sometimes but she picked the wrong day. I'm getting married today and looks like I'll get married with a kid on my hip. And the other in my stomach.
“Wrong day to be a clingy sweetie.”
Arieya's lips quivered in tears. “Sorry I'm a bad girl I'll be good just stay here with me please mommy I don't want to be alone.”
I look at Mirabelle as my heart becomes heavy.
“Please.” Arieya added.
“You're not a bad girl, you're the best girl, okay don't ever think that.” I wiped the tear on her duct and placed a kiss on her cheek.
Mirabelle crouched to the floor and took my little clingy princess with a hug rubbing her back. “She's not leaving you she's going to take a bath and besides you will never be alone because I'm always going to be with you when mommy isn't I promise okay.”
“Okay.” Arieya nods, sniffing. I proceed to the bathroom and shower still to process everything I'm getting married.
When I get out of the bathroom Arieya is laying on my bed with Belle's phone. I pick out a dress and Belle helps me get ready. Arieya's mood lightens up a little but she's so clingy still.
“Mommy the angel is waiting for you.”
“What angel?” I ask in bewilderment. An unsettling feeling hitting my lower stomach.
“What's your name?” Arieya says, looking to her left. I didn't know Arieya had an imaginary friend.
“When did she get an imaginary friend?” Mirabelle was just as perplexed as I was as she helped me in the process of getting ready.
“That's my name too.” she says laughing.
“Arieya loves herself.” I laugh at my daughter's childish tricks. She got me scared for a minute but I'm over it.
“It's good she does.” Mirabelle sighs, her fingers still working on getting me ready as I patiently wait her out. My butt hurts from the long sitting running for hours.
“Okay Arieya when are you leaving you're getting annoying with your crying.”
“Should I be worried about her?” I peek at her side eyes and my darling daughter still hasn't stopped sobbing.
“No, she's good stay still.” Belle says putting custom made silver claw pins in my hair.
“Come on, aren't you too old to be crying like a baby?” she asks, laughing. “Yes she does look beautiful in that dress.” she says, glancing at me.
Mirabelle admires her job blowing me a kiss. “Done, let me get the necklace and tiara.” She says heading out the room.
“Baby who is this friend of yours?”
Arieya whispers. “I don't know where she came from.”
“You don't?” God I hope my daughter hasn't lost her sanity.
“It's the truth.” She says looking beside her again and giggles, “Can I tell her?” Arieya asks starring into the blank space.
“What do you mean mommy can't see you?” she talks to her imaginary friend like it was an actual person.
Creepy.
“Arieya!”
“Mommy don't you see this Tia chica?”
Should I be honest and break her heart that I can't see her friend?
“Hmm no but it's okay that only you can see her.”
“Okay.” she says, looking to her side. “She has pretty eyes like you.”
Mirabelle walks back in and places the necklace down.
“No you can't take mommy with you Arieya she's my mommy me small Arieya.” She says getting off the bed angrily and running to me.
“Trouble in paradise Arieya.” Mirabelle laughs. I sit Arieya in my lap as Belle finishes up with everything. I get up and look at my dress. It's just as beautiful as I'd imagined. I wouldn't pin me for the Cinderella Disney type but when I saw this dress my inner child screamed with joy and I just had to wear it.
“You look so beautiful.” Mirabelle compliments.
“Thanks Auntie.”
“Why are you calling me Auntie so much?” Mirabelle cocked her eyebrow as she twitched her lips to the side to spring the gist outta me.
“I only said it once.”
“Adrian did too.” She claimed.
“Take a wild guess.”
“You guys plan on having a baby?” she asked uncertainly.
I shrugged. “More like the baby plans on having us.”
“What do you mean?”
“You'll find out soon.” I smile into the mirror. “Come on big sis let's go.” I say picking Arieya up.
“Don't ruin your dress.” She calls out.
“I won't.” Sending her a relaxed smile as I exit the room. We go to the limo outside and it looks like I'm getting married at my mother's vacation house just 1 hour away from my house. When we arrive I notice cars everywhere.
“Oh my God.”
“Surprise.” Mirabelle screeched with glee.
