Mirabelle's POV
Alpha's Hated Mate
Mirabelle's POV
When I woke up this morning I felt great, I had a good night's sleep no thanks to Camilla but I'm sure she also had a good night's sleep with Adrian.
It was 7:00 am when I awakened and I decided I'd see her once I was done with my assignment so she could go over it.
The interior decorator finished her room last night but we didn't see it. Racheal knocked on my door when I was finishing up my assignment and we finished her's together. I'm taking a selfie with my assignment to send to the group chat I have with Raquel and my other friend's from school when I feel Racheal's hand patting my back.
“I can't believe I missed breakfast.” She groans.
Setting my assignment down I smile into the camera and snap a picture of me with my tongue out. “You had vanilla milk, three slices of bread with Nutella as a spread.” I laugh.
“Exactly I haven't had breakfast yet,” She whines. I laugh at her because I honestly don't understand her appetite, most days she barely eats or drinks anything and some days like today, she eats everything in sight.
Racheal is very serious about her breakfast, she doesn't consider it breakfast without at least two dishes and a mini breakfast dessert, which is most times an apple or a bag of raisins.
I pinch her arm playfully. “Tell you what, I will go and get Camilla then we can run grocery errands for this house. I just realised we owe Gina that favor.”
“Oh, I forgot!” She exclaims.
I nod, “Anyway, when we're done grocery shopping. We can have lunch...” Her mouth opens and I hold up my finger to halt her. “... And breakfast.” She smiles at my remark, I giggle knowing she won't rest until she's had a meal she can call breakfast no matter what time of day it is, Racheal will get her breakfast.
It's either that or her sulking all day and honestly, she's so bubbly, sulking doesn't suit her at all. “So it's settled then, you, me, Camilla and shopping all afternoon plus lunch. I can't wait to eat at Franks Fines.” I smile, almost testing the food at the mention of it.
“Frank's Fines!” She gasps, sitting up.
“With whose money Belle?”
“Alpha's money of course.”
“Adrian will not give us money for that, it's way too expensive for small bites they offer.”
“Adrian won't give me or you money but he'll give Camilla.” I sigh, satisfied with Camilla being his mate.
“Oh, Cami but you're forgetting one thing, he isn't man enough to let her in.”
“That's why they both have me.” I grin.
“What did you do?” She whispers, sounding overly concerned about what I did to them.
“Relax, I didn't overdo it. I just took Camilla to him last night and she slept in his room.”
“You're pushing her on him?”
“No, and stop asking questions. I'm pushing them on each other, you've seen how scared she is of him. What Luna is afraid of her Alpha? It should be the other way round.” I frown.
“If your plan didn't work, then we have to do something else.”
An optimistic grin spread across my lips. “I'm listening.”
She bites her lip and smiles, “Adrian and Camilla are an excellent match and she is precisely the Luna this pack needs, she has the dispositions and I'm sure with a little help, she unleashes that firecracker inside her. So we set her up with multiple dates until he cracks, I'm sure he'll crack on the first two. He is very possessive.”
I can't help but applaud her idea, she's right that'll break him for sure. Adrian has always been very possessive. He doesn't like not having control or other people touching his stuff without him giving the go-ahead so other people having his mate? Doesn't matter how stupid he thinks the mate bond is, he will most definitely not want anyone else touching her because she's his. “I will get her.” I squeal, jumping off the bed.
Slipping on my Nike slides, I turn to Racheal. “Wear something nice and whatever you wear, leave out the same for Camilla and me.”
I enter Camilla's bedroom and call out to her, as I admire the decor. Hannah and her team did an excellent job, the walls are no longer bleak, they redid her closet and gave her a new dresser. And the mirror, ah it's breathtaking, a room fit for a Luna now. “Camilla.” I sing her name waiting for a response but nothing.
I check the bathroom which looks just as good but she's not there. I for sure thought Camilla would be in her room considering it's past 10 but to my surprise, she isn't here. I go to Adrian's room but they're both not there. As I shut the door, I meet Santiago, who stuns me a little.
“Perfect hearing, great smell, and I still startled you?” Of course, I didn't hear his footsteps, my period must be on its way, I lose quality of my skills when it's close.
“I'm looking for Camilla.”
“In Adrian's bedroom?” His jaw drops, his finger pointing to the door.
“Yes, she got scared, so she slept with him in his room but I can't find them.” I lazily say.
Santiago is gawking at me with an odd expression as if he is trying to figure out some puzzle. I roll my eyes seeing he won't be much help and we need Camilla so she can go shopping with us. “Have you checked his other bedroom?” He finally articulates, before heading the same direction he came.
No. I didn't think of it, it slipped my mind that he'd be in it with her. The room was built for him and his Luna when he turned ten years old he never takes any girls up there-
Damn it.
Of course, he can take her there, she's his Luna. “Thanks, see you later.” I mouth to Santiago and he halts in his tracks.
“Tell Adrian there's work he needs to attend to.”
I prance to Adrian's room and knock twice on the door. I'm about to knock a third time when Adrian opens it. He looks at me with that 'I knew it was you' expression and I nervously laugh. “Hi.”
“Why are you knocking so hard on my door?” He deadpans, walking back inside.
Okay someone is in a bad mood, a very bad mood but I also take it as an invitation to go inside. “Umm, I want...” I stop mid-sentence when I see Camilla soundly sleeping in his bed. “Camilla.” I finish my sentence gazing at her, she looks relaxed, her lips pulled into a pout and hair spread all over her face.
Did what I think happened here really happen? I darted my eyes to Adrian wanting to ask him if he slept with my best friend when he was supposed to just make her feel safe for the night and probably for the rest of her life too.
“Let her sleep.” He says softly, taking a seat on his sofa but I know it's a decree from my Alpha.
“Was she in trouble?” I ask, as if inquiring about my three-year-old that I left the babysitter. But she is, she's my baby, my best friend and I care about her and worry for her mental health more so after what she told me yesterday.
“Is she ever?" He snorts. “She was talking in her sleep, saying stuff I don't understand. I think it was Spanish, they speak a lot of it at Dark Moon. Then she woke up doing what she does best...” He pauses to set his laptop in his lap. “..Shivering and crying.”
I take a seat next to him, wondering how to tell him I need money now that Camilla can't come. “Rae and I are running errands today. We won't be home for lunch so I was wondering if you can buy us lunch? We'll be doing groceries for Gina.”
He nods, his focus still on his computer. “How much?”
“Enough for two meals at Frank's Fine's?” It comes out to be more of a question than I intended.
“Frank's Fines.” he laughs, finally looking at me. “Yea, I don't think so. That restaurant is a ripoff, I have money and I will spend it on you anywhere but an overrated restaurant.” He snorts.
I frown at his upheaval, Adrian dines at expensive food places only but I can't go to Frank's? I have a feeling his detest for the restaurant is personal, he wanted to buy shares in it but it was given to another Alpha. So this is my brother being the baby he is when he doesn't get his way.
Not wanting to look at him I darted my eyes to the bed where the one mature person in the room sleeps, except she's no longer snoozing. When I see her staring with confusion I dash to her.
“Best friend.” I jump onto the bed, letting my slides slip off my feet. I hug her, letting my head rest on her thighs so I'm directly looking at Adrian again.
“Good morning Baby.” She giggles, brushing her hand over my hair. Adrian is typing something on his laptop, oblivious to our existence. “Did you sleep well or did Adrian try something with you?” I jokingly ask, hoping it pisses him off and I think I did. He closes his laptop and rises, carrying it in his left hand.
Camilla's heartbeat can be heard from where my head lays. I want to peek at her to see the facial expression accompanied by the modification in her heart rate.
“Adrian didn't do anything to her.” He smirks at me before darting his eyes back to Camilla, leaning into her.
I swiftly slip from Camilla and he chuckles, placing a kiss on her lips. I watch in awe as they kiss intensely like they forgot I'm here. Adrian pulls away, bitting on his bottom lip, his eyes dart to me and he gives me a confused look before he snickers. He did forget I was here, they both did.
