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

Camille's POV: 

I usually enjoyed parties, but this ball just was not for me.

The person I loved was not by my side, he was with another girl.

Ever since the event started, I had stayed out here in the garden.

I didn't want to sit in the hall just to watch Peter and Serena dance all night.

Even though I was already 18, I still hadn't found my mate yet.

I had a relationship with Peter once, but I wasn't sure if it was love.

We didn't even sleep with each other.

That happened just last summer, while I was on vacation.

I stayed with Patricia, and she introduced me to her brother.

When I first laid eyes on Peter, I thought that he was my Prince Charming.

Ever since then, Patricia had always wanted to play matchmaker with me and Peter.

But it seemed that Peter wasn't as enthusiastic about it as I was.

Over time, we were only able to make small progress in our relationship.

One night, in the maple forest, Peter kissed me.

That was my first ever kiss.

I was ready for him to take more than that.

My first kiss, my body, even my virginity.

But he stopped at that.

He only took my first kiss.

Even though it was clear that the Moon Goddess didn't appoint us as mates, I thought that we could still fall in love on our own and make a good couple.

Peter, on the other hand, didn't think so.

He believed that his mate was still out there somewhere, and he wanted to find her.

Disappointed, I headed back to my home in France.

For a while, we kept in touch.

But eventually, we drifted apart.

It was difficult for a shy person, but I managed to initiate our conversations.

Even then, I could tell that Peter didn't seem too interested in me.

A few days ago, Patricia told me that Peter was in the city for a business trip.

I felt so happy to see him again.

This was going to be a good opportunity for me to win his affection, I thought.

Unfortunately, the first thing he did when we met that day was to introduce this new girl.

He had finally found his mate.

"Just in time.Serena, let me introduce you.This is my sister, Patricia.And this is Camille, a friend of my sister.Patricia, Camille, this is Serena, my mate."

Hearing this, I gritted my teeth.

I knew immediately that Peter did this so that I would keep a distance from him.

Of course, he didn't want his mate to misunderstand anything about us.
