Angel's POV
Alphas Hated Mate.
Angel's POV
My mother would tell me there's love and then there's LOVE, the first one is smitten, cute roses and sunshine. It gives you butterflies and kisses the pain away while the second one is skin deep, it is intense, it exists in the innermost part of your bones. It's dark and malicious, it doesn't give you butterflies, it cuts out your oxygen supply.
What Adrian and I have is the second one. I don't know how it happened but I fell in love with every bit of him and no one will ever understand how deeply we love each other, especially not his sister.
Mirabelle is a brat, an entitled spoiled rotten to the core type of brat. She's used to getting her way, always has and always will. Previously she'd often get whatever she wanted because she was the princess of the pack and now she's worse. At least back then, her mother, the fire-Luna would tell everyone not to give in or treat her differently but Adrian wouldn't let anyone but himself put her in her place.
He made sure she got her way, he'd go around threatening her peers when she was young and now this girl is spoiled.
She thinks she's a queen and the beauty she's been graced with isn't helping her ego. She's more like Adrian than she will ever admit, they're the same when it comes to their egos. Everyone lets her do as she sees fit because they don't want to upset the cheerful little girl that she is but I'm not everyone.
I've tried to be close to her because I feel sad for her but our dear Belle doesn't like me, despite how much I like her-
As a person of course.
I'd go as far as to say we'd be good friends, but no. She doesn't approve of my relationship with Adrian despite knowing how long we've been together, she's not endorsing it. I don't care much for her acceptance or that of anyone because I know Adrian appreciates me.
Yes, he does. Adrian isn't capable of that sweet romantic bullshit of a love story most girls want, he doesn't know how nor does he care for it. So him wanting me, my company, my touch, my everything, it's his way of asserting he loves me and I him.
We're perfect together, we fit so well together and everyone knows this which is why I don't see why fates didn't make us mates. Not that it is significant but it would have been easier for the world and whoever believes in the mate bullshit. I was infatuated with my mate for a hot minute but then I got bored, my heart, my soul, my happiness it was here, with Adrian. That's where it was born and will forever reside and I know I make him happy. Well, happy as Adrian can be.
As I said, I was fine with Mirabelle and her clear detest for me because it didn't harm me and most importantly, Adrian. Except for lately, I have noticed she's taken a strong liking to the puny girl, Camilla.
Adrian told me about her and for a second, I thought I'd lose him because he brought her here himself but I was relieved to know he's still mine just as I am his. He told me and I quote, "She's just my mate, nothing more. I don't feel anything for her that Hunter doesn't induce, don't worry about her." This pleased me, very much.
Camilla is stunning, too pretty, she has that beauty that leaves you in awe when you finally take a good look at her. Camilla might be just as if not more beautiful than our moon goddess replica, Belle. I have told Adrian about her beauty a few times because I'm not the jealous type, I learned fast with Adrian that jealousy would only hurt me until it became a disease, an obsession that would be my downfall so I don't get jealous.
I know whoever he fucks is just another fuck, I'm a forever fuck and that's a win on its own. Camilla and Mirabelle are both a different kind of beauty but Mirabelle's shines from miles away yet Camilla's? It's dull, not much brightness to it because of her lack of confidence. She doesn't hold herself with the least bit of grace that a Luna should, she lacks spine and so many other qualities.
She wouldn't survive operating the golden hunters, she's just a tiny human girl that should have never come across Adrian, my Adrian, our Alpha. Camilla is too naive for our kind, she wouldn't survive being a Luna as much as she's withstood taking Adrian's dick.
I've been watching her, eyeing her because there is a possibility she might be competition, Adrian has been with her a lot lately. I don't ask questions because when I do, he gets mad and shuts me out. As if it wasn't enough, Mirabelle's liking for Camilla has her targeting me, asking me not to get between her and Adrian but it's the other way round.
Camilla is the villain here not me, I was here first, I have been here from the very beginning since before Adrian's psychopathic reign. However, I like a challenge and the one our little unqualified Luna is putting up, I can't resist it.
Not after today, I saw her watch in satisfaction as her friend fought her battle, something she'd have done if she was ever fit to be Adrian's mate. The very thought makes my stomach churn in disgust, she's weak and needs someone to stand up for her always, Belle might have helped her into Adrian's bed, but she can't turn her worthy of him.
I've noticed how it's always Racheal and Mirabelle making the decisions and she nods submissive as fuck... Maybe that's why Adrian is still fucking her. I shake off the thought, watching as Mirabelle beat her up in the ring. I shake my head, tossing my boxing gloves into my locker, my gaze still on the two girls.
Mirabelle isn't beating Camilla to her full potential, I've spurred with her once, she's good and right now she's just letting Camilla have it easy.
Pathetic, that's what this entire fight is, I would beat that kid until she was begging for air. Fuck being a Luna, she isn't fit to be a low ranker of Midnight Saints, I don't know the veteran's play but around here, a girl her age wouldn't be this weak, innocent maybe but certainly not pathetic like she is.
I take a cigarette in between my fingers, nudging Lillian as I place it between my lips. It takes her a second to register what I want before she lights my cigarette using hers. Putting out the smoke I grin at her, “Thanks, baby.” The taste of nicotine hits the back of my throat as I relax in my chair.
I turn my head towards Ciara and Veronica, butting heads like always over a shared mate they can't seem to share. I snicker looking away as something more tantalizing catches my eye. Adrian.
I kick my feet to the ground, handing my cigarette to Lillian. Adrian is coming my way, a shopping bag in hand, no four. Probably to feed his sister's addiction to shiny items. I grin at him when he gets closer. “Hey, Adrian.”
He walks right past me and I turn to watch him, my mouth hanging slightly open. Someone is laughing behind me, I turn to find Ciara and Veronica among others laughing at me. I wave them off and take my seat, grabbing my cigarette off Lillian's lips. Even she is holding in a laugh.
“What?!” I snapped at her.
She clears her throat, “Nothing.” The little bitch is scared of me but dares to laugh?
“Alpha seems bored of you.” Ciara says from across me.
Turning to her I scoff, “Hmm, no. That's not true, things are great between us.”
Veronica rolls her eyes and smirks. “Yea, right.”
I toss my cigar into the fire and look at Cia, she has a smug look. My lip instantly curls up in dismay, “What?”
Ciara leans into her seat, making sure there is enough distance between her and her other unlikable mate. “Camilla, the sometimes pretty girl sometimes ugly little girl is stealing him right in front of your eyes probably because her sex game is lit I mean he didn't even look at you.” She frowns.
Stealing, yes because that's all she can do because Adrian is mine, and I'm happy even my dense friend recognizes this fact.
I can't help but grin at the thought. “Adrian and I are just fine. Heck, we had great sex on Thursday.”
Veronica laughs beside Ciara who kicks her feet apart. “Well it's Tuesday today.” She flickers her gaze between Ciara and me with a wider grin.
“I guess he isn't into you anymore, that's why he doesn't care about your existence anymore.”
Ciara instantly shoves her off balance and she blasts her a death look. Veronica gets on my nerves but right now? She's toiling the last one. The same goes for Camilla.
I rise from my seat and hold my finger out to her, “Never. Adrian will always belong to me and not even his mate can change that!” I spitefully say.
“How would you know? She's not here yet. Camilla might not be a game-changer but his mate? That's a different story.” Veronica, the dumb bitch speaks once again. Knowing full well which button she's pressing by speaking of Camilla.
