All Chapters of Fated To Hate You: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

ELARA“You have…” I paused, “a crush on Alistair?” “Is there a problem? If you like him, then…” she trailed off.I raised my brow, staring at her.“I don’t know. I just wanted to be honest,” she smiled.That smile—that soft deceiving smile that she had learnt as part of her princess training—annoyed me so much.My lips curved as I turned to Alistair. “Did you hear my cousin? She said she has a crush on you.”His eyes shifted to me, surprise in them and something that I couldn't quite place. I knew Alistair, but in the past five years, he had quite a lot of unreadable expressions.“We have to talk, Elsie,” he said flatly, ignoring me.“Alex, catch,” I threw the packaged containers towards Alex and they landed in his open hands. Then,I raised my hands, giving them a round of applause.As ridiculous as the situation was, as angry as I was for my mom keeping this from me, I still felt a bit of ecstasy.Alistair wouldn’t have to get married to me if Elsie came into the picture. It was pe

ELARAElsie followed me into the house ten seconds later. Yes, I counted.“Are you normally that way?” She raised her brows as she stood at the foot of the stairs.I tilted my head slightly, “What way?”“Just,” she shrugged slightly, “you are different from what I heard. I don’t mean it in a bad way though.”She obviously did.“Elsie,” I called the moment she turned to leave.Her brows notched upwards as she turned.“Did my mom,” I hesitated, “Did she really bring Alistair there?”“Who else?” Elsie muttered.“Why didn’t she tell me?”“Would you have let him go? Practically speaking, you wanted him dead.”She shook her head. “It’s not ignorance if I say Al is safe from you.”“Do you have any idea what he did?” A strange feeling settled in my stomach as I let the plushie fall to the ground. “If you did, you won’t speak that way.”I marched past her, not until her tender fingers held my arm softly, making me halt.“Then maybe you should face the truth, Elara. Keep your anger at bay first

CHAPTER THIRTY FIVEELARAI walked into the room prepared for me, noticing my suitcase on the table across the bed.It was a decent room, bright and beautiful. Better than if we had stayed at a hotel or something. Stormcrest seemed to have the best way to treat their visitors.I walked towards the white curtains, being blown out of their normal place by the wind that blew past the balcony. Here, I could see the skies. How beautiful the stars looked on a night like this.Especially that star.Betelgeuse.“Do you know it’s the largest star visible to the human eye? I read about it once in a book. I don’t remember the title.”For a second, I could feel it. Ten-year-old Alistair was talking about a star I wanted nothing to do with. Stars weren’t meant to be studied by me, they were meant to be admired. Just from a far light. Things were better admired when you conditioned your mind to know you could never get them.“It’s over 1000 times larger than our Sun.” “Why would you spend your ti

ALISTAIR“It got worse,” Kai said flatly as Elara walked past her gates, locking them shut. “Just one night outside your pack and it got worse than ever. Just give up. Now.”“Shut up,” I said.“Of course you would say that—”I pushed the door open and the car came to a sudden stop. I should have informed the driver I wanted to come down, but I hadn’t. Maybe I simply wanted to injure myself. Feel actual pain instead of the constant ache that threatened to burst through my veins.My head hurts. My chest hurts. Every freaking part of my body seemed to burn in a kind of pain that was uncontrollable. The shift was not premeditated. I simply had to let Kai take over from this already-weak body of mine.Elara had almost cried. Her eyes had been full of tears that she couldn’t shed in front of me. I should never have looked at that star with her.No.I should never have shut that door close last night. I should have pulled her in and explained everything to her. Then maybe, she would pity me

ALISTAIRKai was dead silent in the back of my mind, exhausted from the sheer force of will it had taken to not rip out Elara’s throat when she forcibly pulled the stick out of our leg. Her scent had been the only thing keeping my mind at bay, making me force Kai into submission. But Kai had also listened. Knowing him, it took the whole of his power to keep himself still. Father walked back towards us, his eyes staring now at the bodies of the rogue wolves—two of them. I had barely been able to fight off one with the stump in my leg and the other had suddenly attacked, breaking off the same leg. Killing them off had been an easier punishment but then, Kai wasn’t in the right state of mind to dare keep a rogue alive, knowing how dangerous it would be for us.“They passed through the borders,” A frown knitted my father's brows near each other as he folded his arms. “The negotiation barely ended and nothing changed.”“It hasn’t been put into action yet—”“You must take me for a fool, A
