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 88: The Ancient Way

Adeline POV

“Zale Seoh! I challenge you! Your life or mine as stated in the ancient ways!”

My heart stopped. We had come so close and now Yeal had uttered the ancient rite. I glanced at Zale and the wheels turning in his head, I knew what his answer would be.

“Zale, don’t do it! We’ve already won and he knows it. He’s just trying to save his own skin. Just refuse,” I pleaded with him.

Yeal laughed maniacally.

“Oh, the great Alpha of the Carmine pack would never in a million years refuse a direct challenge. Sure he is within his right to refuse but we can all see what he is thinking.”

“He’s right, Addie,” Zale looked at me with sadness,” In modern law, there are no legal repercussions for refusing a challenge. However, it would be an insult to the ancient law of the Moons to do so. If I declined I would have no moral right to lead anyone or call myself Alpha. It is my duty to accept his challenge.”

I watched in horror as Zale got down from the stage and made his way to Yeal.
