The Alpha's Mysterious Mate ( The Fate Series Book 1)

Chapter 20: A Heartbroken Girl In The Dark 

Unknown POV:

"Well, that's it for today.You guys should get some rest.Tomorrow, come shopping with me and I'll throw a party after! For now, I'll have to leave you all as it's time for my dinner with my family."

Patricia didn't let us stay at the Maple House for the night.

Without permission, I couldn't stay at the Maple House even if I wanted to.

I was just a she-wolf without a rank, after all.

"You guys go ahead.I'll just head to the bathroom first.I'm about to burst!"

I acted like I needed to pee.

Finally, I found an excuse to be alone.

"Oh, alright.We'll go ahead, then."

From the top floor, I snuck into the elevator and went down to the seventeenth floor.

I hid in a dark corner, not so far from the stairwell.

"Hey, what are you doing? Are you crazy? You don't have permission to stay.If someone finds you here, you'll be in so much trouble!" my wolf warned me in my head.

"Shut up, Lydia.I got this." I growled back at her.

"Why even bother with this? Aren't you tired from chasing after someone who doesn't even belong to you?" Lydia mocked me.

"No, Peter is mine."

I loved him...He was the only man I ever wanted.

My life's dream ever since I was a child was to become a Luna.

That was the purpose of my life! Besides, I already gave my virginity to Peter.

He might have just discarded me like I was nothing after that, but I didn't care.

It was not my fault that I was born into an ordinary family.

It was unfair! Because of something I could not even choose for myself, I couldn't become Peter's mate.

Although I was a she-wolf of no rank, I could say that I was very popular among the male wolves of the pack.

Not only did I have a beautiful face and alluring body, but I also knew how to dance very well.

I knew how to move my body to get what I wanted from men.

~Flashback~

Not too long ago, Peter noticed me during a dinner party.

He hosted this party for some of his visiting friends and allies who came from faraway lands.

On behalf of Red Maple Pack, I performed a dance for the guests, which they all thoroughly enjoyed.

Most of them even praised me for it after my performance.

After that, Peter asked me to entertain the guests with him for the next few days.

We were together all day, but we never actually had alone time.

Even then, I was glad to have the opportunity to be so close to Peter for long periods of time.

He was such an attractive man, and I wanted to be his Luna.

The night before the guests left our pack, Peter had too much to drink.

I ended up having to send him back to his room.

"You know, you're a good dancer.I like the way you dance quite a lot."

"Oh, I'm very flattered, Peter.You can call me to perform for you any time, if you want."

"Well, what other kinds of dance do you know?"

"Name it, and I should be able to dance it for you."

He seemed to start passing out and didn't reply to me anymore, but I still wanted to talk with him.

Even if he was drunk and probably wouldn't remember any of this, I wanted to be with him at that moment.A girl like me did not have this opportunity often.

Why should I let it go so easily? "Do you dance a lot, Peter?"

"No, not really..."

"I can teach you if you want!"

"Sounds like...a good suggestion."

His words started to slur.

"How about I teach you now?" I looked at him with hope.

Just saying those words took so much courage from me. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"Hmm...Sure."

Peter took me to the elevator and we went up to the seventeenth floor.

When we arrived, he took me to a room in the south wing.

I decided to teach him Rumba, as it was one of the best dances I knew how to do.

It was also a strategic choice, because the dance required two partners to be very close to each other.

While teaching him to place his hands on my waist and thighs, I positioned my body in the most seductive pose, making sure he felt every bit of it against his skin.

Every time our faces would come close, I wanted to kiss him.

Minutes later, the look in his eyes became more and more gentle.

That told me it was my chance.

I put my arms around his neck and leaned back a bit.

With one hand on my waist and the other supporting the back of my head, Peter leaned forward.

Our eyes locked into each other's, our noses almost touching.

I inched closer and finally kissed him.

He kissed back.

Peter was such a good kisser.

He inserted his tongue into my mouth and I responded appropriately.

The hand that was on my waist began to slither down my body, until it slipped past my underwear.

His finger rubbed my clit, slowly and tenderly.

My hands reached down and caressed the firm bulge that was poking through his pants.

It was my first time though, so I didn't have much experience.

But I watched enough porn to know what aroused a man.

I just knew that he couldn't stand this anymore.

"More, Peter.I want more." He carried me into his arms and placed me on the bed, pressing his body on top of mine.

We never broke away from the kiss and eventually started taking off each other's clothes.

In the process of undressing me, he had gotten frustrated and just ripped off my underwear.

In one motion, I finally felt him inside me.

It hurt the first few times, I would admit.

He probably did not expect that I was a virgin.

But when he saw that I was in pain, he slowed down.

When I started getting used to it, his thrusts got harder and faster.

Finally, he ejaculated on my breasts.

The next few days, Peter invited me over for meals and movies.

I thought that we were practically a couple, but he never said that he loved me.

He never announced our relationship to the public.

After that night, he never had sex with me anymore, either.

Perhaps he needed more time.

Fine with me, I had no problem waiting! He then left for some business trip and was gone for a few days.

I waited expectantly for him to come back.

However, when he returned, he suddenly had a Luna with him.

What happened to everything we did together? I needed to find an opportunity to ask him this myself.

~End of flashback~

An hour later, the elevator finally opened on this floor.Peter came out with that slut.

"Peter, where would I be sleeping tonight? Anita never showed me my room."

"What do you mean? That's your room."

Peter pointed in the direction of the master's bedroom for the dumb bitch.

"But...that's your room."

"What a coincidence, right? We happen to have the same room!"

I saw Peter scoop her up into his arms and take her to his room, and my heart shattered.

Peter was gentle to me, but he never flirted with me like that.

Didn't they only know each other for a few days? Why was Peter so close to that bitch? Next thing I knew, I felt tears stream down my cheeks.

I was going to take Peter back, I swore to myself.

Serena, that bitch, was going to suffer for stealing my man.

I wanted so bad to run up to him and scream.

What about us, Peter? But if I did that, he would just hate me even more.

It was better that I headed back for now.

I didn't want to hear their lovemaking noises tonight; that was just going to hurt me more.

I held my hand to my mouth and stopped my sobs.

Camille's POV:

I was too naive about what I assumed about Serena before.I was wrong.I thought I would have an advantage when I arrived at Red Maple.

Compared to her, who knew nothing about this place, I was more likely to win over Peter's parents than she ever would.

But as soon as Peter's parents heard him say that Serena was his mate, the look on their faces told me that I had already lost before I even started.

Just like that, Serena had charmed everyone to her side.

That afternoon in the swimming pool, I heard those girls gossiping about Serena and I defended her.

Of course, aS a proper noble lady, I simply couldn't slander anyone publicly.

But something in me rejoiced when I found out that not everyone liked Serena, hated her, even.

This was a good sign that I still had a chance to win Peter's affection.

Even during the dinner, Serena was all anyone ever talked about.

I was also a guest here, but it seemed that Serena's arrival had completely overshadowed my presence here.

Patricia even teased her brother to have babies with Serena already! "Oh, look at you, poor Camille.You know that bitch isn't superior to you at all! Judging by appearance and family background, you are leagues above her.Are you seriously going to accept defeat to a girl like that? If you do, then just buy a ticket and fly back home already.Unless...you do something about this..."

Elaine taunted me loudly in my head.

I excused myself to leave dinner early.

Back in my guest room on the sixteenth floor, I paced around, restless.

It was to my knowledge that Peter's floor was just upstairs.

God, I hoped they wouldn't make too much noise tonight, or else I wouldn't be able to get any sleep! I wanted to smoke, but I had to be careful here and didn't want anyone to find out.

Even Patricia, no matter how close we were, didn't know that I smoked.

I went to the stairwell and found a quiet spot.

Suddenly, the strong scent of perfume permeated my nose.

I looked in the direction it came from and saw a she-wolf hiding above me at the stairwell by the seventeenth floor.What was she doing there?

"Same as you, probably.Another hopeless admirer of Peter,"

Elaine said in a mocking voice.

I pressed myself against the wall and continued to observe her.

Soon enough, the elevator dinged at the seventeenth floor, and Peter came out with Serena.

I overheard their flirty conversation and they sounded like they were definitely going to have sex tonight.

A mix of disgust and heartbreak overwhelmed me.The she-wolf above me started to sniffle.

She was crying.Silly girl.She didn't stand a chance to be with Peter at all.

He was mine.An idea suddenly popped in my head.

Maybe that girl would actually be of some use to me, after all.Anything to get closer to Peter.
