Filed To Story: Claimed by the Alpha I Hate Book Read Free
I was lost in my thoughts when the woman began talking to me.
“Hello there.” Her voice was coy and leaking hidden hostility, “Daisy, isn’t it?”
At the mention of my name from this unfamiliar woman’s mouth, my head snapped up. I clocked my jaw shut to keep it from dropping.
“What the f**k are you doing here?” I growled lowly.
“Mind-link Alpha Nolan.” Maya snarled in my head.
“If you even think about mind-linking your little Alpha, I’ll be long gone.” The girl sneered angrily, her eyes glinting with smug satisfaction.
She knew she practically had me cornered. My curiosity had blossomed at her appearance. I had only seen this girl once in my life, but that was all I needed to hate her.
“What do you want Brittany?” I clenched my teeth together, fighting the urge to pounce.
Brittany, Scott’s mate sat next to me at the bar. She looked the same as when I saw her for the first time. Long hair, dark eyes and a heart shaped face.
She was beautiful in many ways. Slim yet tall, she held an air of superiority that clung to her like a sweet perfume. Her chocolate hair framed her heart shaped face like a veil of silk.
I hated her at first, completely consumed with jealousy and heartbreak at the loss of Scott. Over the past year, I realized my hatred for her was completely unwarranted. She didn’t do anything wrong. It wasn’t her fault she was Scott’s mate. After hearing how the two of them fled the pack and left everyone to d*e, the hatred had returned stronger than ever. She was born to be a Luna, which meant never abandoning your pack.
“I just wanted to see what Scott was so pent up about.” Brittany sneered, the expression looking oddly at home on her delicate face. “What is so special about you, Daisy?”
Irritation rolled through me. Really, she was here for a social call? That year old part of me remembered what it was like to be loved by Scott, but she knew better now. We both knew better. I wasn’t even sure Scott was capable of actual love. How can someone turn their back on their mate? I never claimed to like Brittany, but her and Scott were destined to be together. That meant more than just a simple girlfriend, a childhood love.
“Mm, and does Scott know you’re here stalking me?” I raised my eyebrow at her, watching anger flash through her eyes.
“Stalking is such a plain word, don’t you think?” Brittany scoffed, twirling a piece of her hair between her fingers. “I’d say I’m scoping out the competition.”
“Competition?” Maya scoffed, “As if. She can have her little cowardly mate.”
“Competition?” I scoffed, sounding much like Maya. “If it wasn’t obvious, you’re the one with Scott. My ties are to my pack, not to Scott. Has he even told you of his plans?”
I tried to keep my tone light, hoping she would give away some tidbit of information. Anything that would make this conversation worth relaying to Alpha Nolan. At the moment, I had nothing. This conversation was a pointless attempt at soothing her raging jealousy.
I wanted to ask her about the attacks on our pack, but was it worth giving secret information to an outsider? I had no doubt that anything I told her would worm it’s way back to Scott, especially if it had anything to do with his old pack.
“Oh no.” Brittany chuckled, shaking her head. “Not gonna work. My lips are sealed.”
“Tell me. What if I knocked you the f**k out and d**g you to my Alpha?” I let a cruel smirk form on my face, “How would you keep Scott’s plans a secret then?”
Brittany’s smirk matched my own, and she leaned in close. I felt my own smirk drop at her words, and red hot fury rush through my veins.
“You see that guy over there?” Brittany murmured, her head turning towards the side of the club. “Blonde hair, green shirt. K****r body.”
“What about him?” I snapped, my gaze flickering over to the man she was talking about. The man’s eyes caught my own, and his lips twitched up in a smirk.
“That’s a friend of mine. He’s been watching your friend all night.” Brittany giggled, “Whats her name again? Breyona, isn’t it?”
“Stay the f**k away from her.” I snarled under my breath.
Maya was bursting at the seams. She didn’t care about Brittany’s friend. She’d k**l Brittany first and then go after her little friend. I however couldn’t risk Breyona getting hurt.
“Oh he will.” Brittany nodded, a smug smile on her face, “So long as you don’t do anything stupid.”
Brittany leaned in close, her voice a hushed whisper. “Because believe me, I will be gone before your little Alpha can think of coming for me. And poor Breyona, well I don’t need to give you those details.”
“What do you want Brittany?” I snapped, the fire within me d***g down. “You want to kidnap me? K**l me? Get it done with and leave my friends alone.”
“I wouldn’t say all that now.” Maya huffed.
“I’m tired of the games.” I hissed, “I want to know why she’s here.”
“Oh no, I’m afraid that honor goes to someone else.” Brittany shrugged, unconcerned. “I’m simply here to try and understand what the f**k Scott sees in you.”
“Nothing.” I snapped, “Scott and I dated a year ago. He was a piece of sht even then. You’re his f*king mate for crying out loud.”
“Mm, well there’s one thing we agree on.” Brittany nodded, eyeing my Rum lutfully. “Scott is a piece of sht.”
Confusion flitted over my face, “Then why are you with him?”
“There are much bigger things in play here, Daisy.” Brittany chuckled, and I was beginning to see the intelligence behind those dark eyes. “Having something in common does not make us allies. Trust me, I’m your enemy just as much as Scott is.”
“Great, thanks for the cryptic response.” I answered through gritted teeth. “Well, if that’s all you can leave me the h**l alone now.”
“It’s been fun, Daisy. But I have to say, meeting you has been a tad underwhelming.” Brittany smirked, standing from the bar stool.
I felt my entire body stiffen as Brittany came up behind me, her lips close to my ear.
“Y’know, you and your little Alpha make a cute couple.” Brittany chuckled lowly in my ear, “Careful next time, you never know whose watching.”
Brittany was gone before I could even spin around. My eyes scanned the club frantically, but her friend had vanished. Her hushed voice lingered in my ear., the implications swirling in my head.
She had seen Alpha Nolan and I, While she made it sound as though she had caught us tonight, it could’ve been any time before. It was frighteningly clear that someone was infiltrating the pack. It wouldn’t be a long shot to assume they had caught Nolan and I.
I hadn’t felt any eyes on me during my time in the alley, but then again I was horribly distracted. Anxiety flooded my system and I thought about how that could be used against me. Sure, Scott wouldn’t be happy but I wasn’t worried about him or me. I was worried how this entire thing could affect Alpha
Nolan, and what ways it could be used against him. While Nolan didn’t seem to be hiding our strange relationship, I wasn’t sure if either of us wanted it out in the open.
I would be mocked relentlessly. Once again known as the girl who chased after the Alpha. While I was much stronger, Maya and I wouldn’t be able to tolerate the bullying. We were too confident, too head strong. That was the downfall of living in a pack. No one could mind their own business.
I sat at the bar for quite some time, even going as far to order another drink. My eyes scanned the crowd of people. Many were dancing, others were drinking. A few groups of people sat at the tables on the raised platform, drinking and laughing the night away. My eyes flickered from face to face, looking for any flicker of recognition. It was foolish to think Brittany had only brought one ‘friend’ along.
After trying and failing to pinpoint any more of Brittany’s ‘friends’, I trudged away from the bar. My body was light and warm from the alcohol I had been drinking, but my mind was more than clear. The conversation with Brittany had cleared my head of any fog that might’ve formed. I was all too aware of the close proximity between everyone in the club, and for once I felt uncomfortable.
I wandered the club aimlessly, my eyes scanning for any sign of Mason or Breyona. H**l, I would’ve even taken Alpha Nolan at the moment.
I locked eyes with Chelsea, who stood fifteen feet away. She was leaned against the wall talking to a muscular blonde man. It was clear from the nasal laughter that she was flirting. She shot me a d***y look and continued what I’m sure was a riveting conversation.
It was hard seeing past all of the people, as just about everyone was taller than me. My heart leaped when I spotted a familiar head of hair. Breyona’s short hair was nearly impossible to miss. Most she-
