Mirabelle's POV
Alpha's Hated Mate
EPILOGUE
Mirabelle's POV
I watched Kyrie & Angel playing basketball, she's very horrible at it but Kyrie was having fun. King used to play with Karla and she was good but she wasn't warming up to Angel.
She talked to her a little, just average interaction other than that she didn't want anything to do with her. She was heartbroken, to her Camilla was her mother and she wanted her to always be. Arieya sat with Karla on the swing they weren't playing, they just sat there watching the kids play.
“Beta I'll see you later.” She said smiling.
“Won’t you wait for your husband?”
“No Santiago will be here any minute but I have to pick Anastasia from the airport.”
I nodded and hugged her goodbye.
Annalise and Santiago got married a few months after the accident that changed our lives. Silverline was dull and less lively without Camilla at first but soon things started looking up. I missed Camilla, well the sane Camilla. I still remember the day of her accident as if it were yesterday, but it's not yesterday. It's been over a year. It was right after Camilla's wedding, As we headed to the reception.
I was in the car behind her and Adrian. I have no idea what she was doing but her viel flew and Adrian went to get it with her. He helped her put it back on then something tragic happened. An irresponsible drunk driver almost ran her over. Adrian pushed her out of the way and he got run over. She didn't make it unscathed either.
He laid in a pool of his blood. That was all it took. That was it, I lost my Bestfriend and Adrian lost himself. Arieya lost both her parents. My phone beeped as I turned to go inside. It was Santiago, 'We're here' is what the text read.
I went and joined them in the parking lot. “I was about to check on the babies.”
“Oh they fell asleep?” Santiago checks.
“Yes Karla and Arieya put them to bed for me.” I answer by crossing my arms, sadness still hanging in the air that I breathe.
“Better than any babysitter money can buy.” he chuckled.
“Did you see her?” I ask, looking at my brother, Adrain. He has the same lost facial expression he's had for over a year.
Santiago growls slowly. “No, she was asleep. Sheryl was out with Amaya so we didn't get to enter her room. They took the keys.”
I swallowed the hurt wreaking in my bones and burning in my blood and I simply asked. “So how is she though?”
“The doctor said the same, not worse or better, she's just the same.”
“I thought she was making progress.” Disappointed about the results, it's still the same old topic.
“Well she hasn't tried to hurt herself again, they don't tie her anymore.”
I nodded, swallowing the lump in my throat. “Do you guys want to see the quintuplets I'm sure they're awake?”
“I need a little more time to compose myself. How can I look at them knowing that their mother is gone?” Adrian shakes as he speaks. He has never been himself; he's fallen apart.
I hold his hands softly rubbing him with relief if that could help. It breaks my heart at the tragedy that has befallen him. “It's not your fault Adrian, Camilla loves you and she'd hate it if she knew you're blaming yourself for her mental state.”
“I don't know what to do, Karla doesn't play anymore neither does Arieya they're not the same look at them it's like…” He breaks down, tightening his jaws.
My hands found its way to his back soothingly. “Camilla having schizophrenia isn't your fault that drunk driver is to blame, she thought she lost you and that triggered her schizophrenia once again you saved her life.”
“She's right, your kids can't lose two parents one day Camilla may come around, today isn't the day and you have to be a parent Adrian.” Santiago adds.
“How do I get those two precious girls to play to be kids again... Arieya is 3 years old for fucks sake and already she looks depressed the children's happiness has gone along with their mother's sanity.” He moans in grief rubbing his stubbles.
Camilla isn't the only one battling insanity, so is Adrian. I've watched him so many times talk to himself and act funny. Few times he came around but I know he's merely existing. Where Mia goes he goes too.
“But you're here you can make it better till she heals I know she'll get through it.” My conviction is strong that my best friend and Alpha will recover. I can't give up on her in a situation where she needs me and us the most. She would do more if I was in that situation.
“It's no use hoping it's been 16 months a whole year and 4 months of waiting. Waiting for her waiting for my heart to beat again and what did I get.. nothing.”
I have always felt Camilla's pain but now I feel Adrian's pain too. After that accident Camilla developed schizophrenia or she already had it. She relives the same events in her head everyday, hers and Adrian's love story up until the accident but it doesn't always end the same way sometimes they both die sometimes they live or one of them dies.
Some event's she creates in her head and some she doesn't. Camilla now lives in the crazy stories in her head. Some days she wakes up as Cami, our Cami and she's normal but when she goes to sleep she's a different person tomorrow, telling the story of Adrian and Camilla.
The doctor said it might be genetic and they're trying to treat her mental illnesses. When she woke up in that hospital bed she wasn't Camilla I had lost and Adrian lost his love that day.
She was pregnant before the wedding. I honestly wasn't surprised but the number of babies shocked us all.
Quintuplets.
The doctors had to operate on her because she was delusional. I bit my tongue and looked at Santiago for help.
Santiago reads my eye language, “Let's see the babies.” That's all he could say.
Camilla's situation left us all at a loss for words. The Royals kept her at the castle. I led Santiago and Adrian inside.
We found Aurelia and Santiago awake, Arabella, Ariana and Angela were still asleep. All Camilla's daughters' names start with A and end with A. It's a pattern she would have wanted and Adrian named his only son after his best friend, Santiago and we all thought Camilla would like it.
I picked Santi up. He was only 3 months old but he was a little version of Adrian. He rarely cried and if he did, he'd cry for a long time. The girls were almost identical, they shared their mother's features ah yes finally a win for Camilla.
“Aurelia is the last to sleep yet first one up.” I say playing with the babies to lighten our mood.
“Santi your job is to protect your sisters but look Aurelia beats you to it.” Santiago said, taking him from me.
“He sleeps long because he wants to dream of his mother.” Adrain says.
Adrian finds a means to throw us back to the hurting reality. I sniffed fighting back tears. “Soon he'll get to see her."
My phone beeped and they looked at me. They knew it was Logan and they hated him naturally.
I was to go with him but I couldn't leave Adrian and the kids in this state. Arieya walked into the room with Kendall's phone.
“Baby.” I called her.
She peeked at her sleeping siblings. Such a protective big sister she was. She then turned her attention to Camilla's picture from her wedding.
“What's wrong cutie?” Santiago gets her as she disregards answering to me.
“One day I'll wear mommy's wedding dress.” She vows.
I couldn't rain on her parade, Cami's dress was still worn by her. They'd wash it and she'd wear it again.
“Come here my love.” Adrian beckons to her.
She went to him and looked at him with sad eyes.
He held her on the shoulder. “What do you want?”
Arieya places her hand on her Dad's cheeks. “Daddy, smile for me.”
Adrian faked a smile.
Arieya frowns angrily at Adrian's deceit. “I'll tell Mommy you're cheating me.”
I step in. “Arieya mommy is busy, she can't talk to us at the moment, okay?”
“Let me call her again.” Arieya responds stubbornly.
“Ag..ain?” I stutter. Was Arieya making up stories or did the little girl speak to her mother indeed?
“Yes I talked to her downstairs.” We all looked at her in shock.
“Yes with grandma Sheryl.” she says precisely.
“Really and what did mommy say?” I ask. I do think the little girl isn't lying but the only way to find out is to ask.
“Baby.” Adrian tries to stop her thinking she might be growing delusional but Arieya still speaks.
“She said I should tell Tia to call her. She said she'll come soon and she loves me and daddy and all my Hermanas and baby hermano.”
Adrian beat me to speak. “Did she now?”
