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

Camille's POV: 

I was supposed to stay.My original plan was to slowly manipulate Kate into getting rid of Serena for me.Once she was no longer useful to me, I would simply dispose of her.

That way, I would remove all obstacles that blocked me from Peter.

But now, Serena had exposed her real identity.

It turned out that she was actually a hybrid.

I initially thought this revelation would save me a lot of trouble.Serena would surely be killed, or at least she wouldn't be accepted as Peter's mate anymore.

But damn it! Why was she still in the Maple House? And it even seemed that she had been accepted by everyone.

And now, Serena had acquired the power to read minds! Why did she even have powers like that? No person in their right mind would ever want someone to see all of their thoughts.

Even though I was a proper aristocratic lady, it didn't mean I was not going to fight for love.

But I just couldn't stay at the Maple House anymore.

I thought of going back home.

Anyway, it was much better than staying at Red Maple Pack and watching Peter and Serena officially become mates.

Just imagining the scene of them kissing at the Mate Ceremony already broke my heart.How much more could I bring myself to applaud for them? 

"Oh, Camille.You have finally realized that the world is a cruel place.I'm proud of you.That Kate is a silly girl.She might have the guts, but she does not have the brains.We can certainly take advantage of her anger and foolishness.But for now, leaving is a good choice for you.It is better to avoid risking having your mind read by Serena."

My wolf, Elaine, also tried to conspire a plan with me.

As soon as I arrived back in my room, I started to pack my things right away.

The next morning, I bid goodbye to Patricia and asked the driver to bring me downtown.

Suddenly, an unsatisfying feeling sat in my gut.

If I left like this, did it look like I was running away in defeat? I got dropped off at a 2-Michelin-star restaurant to grab a meal.Very seldom did I ever eat alone, and this was one of those times.

I would always have my meals with family or my best friends.

Sometimes I would eat with some boys who took me out on dates.

But in this luxurious, high-end restaurant, I sat alone.

I couldn't help but reach for my phone.

Dialing a number I had long ago memorized, I waited until the call was picked up.

"Camille? What's up?"

"Hey, Peter.I'm going back to Marseilles today..."
