My Fake Mate

Adeline’s one goal in life was to work in the famous Bio Research Institute as a scientist, but that dream ended when she was scammed and lost all of her money to pay for her final semester. She was broke, directionless and desperate. It wasn't until she met the Alpha of the Carmine pack, did her luck begin to change. He made her an offer she couldn't refuse— pretend to be his mate and he would make all of her problems go away. Being a fake mate sounded easy, right? But not for Adeline. She had to face challenges by both him and his family. Was she able to stick to the contract? Or would their plan spiral out of control? — “Now would be a good time not to suppress that sensitive body of yours. Wrap your arms around me.” I shoot him a dirty look at his approach. “If you wanted me to touch you, all you had to do was ask.” “Please,” He bent down closer to my ear as he purred, “Touch me, darling.” My Fake Mate is created by Heather Bond, an eGlobal Creative Publishing author.

Chapter 37: Not What It Seems

Zale’s POV

I hate it here.

Those were the first words I thought as I twisted and turned in my bed, the heat wasn’t something I was fond of, but at least it was something I could blame for my lack of sleep. However, there was only so long I could lie to myself about that.

No matter what I tried, I couldn’t fall back to sleep. It had been days since I had slept properly. It wasn’t the heat that wasn’t allowing me to sleep and I knew that, but what else could I do?

I growled as I gripped the sheets that laid on top of me before flinging them off of my body. Even the lightweight of the cool, silk sheets irritated me.

Foolishly, I had thought that the past few days had been a mark to the end of an era, to the end of sleepless nights and haunted nightmares. I could have known better, though. I got up from the bed when another hour of unrest passed and got in the shower instead.
