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 42: Friendly Support

Zale POV

“You should get proper rest,” John told me. “Go home, shower and eat something other than vending machine food.”

I did not look at him and instead kept my gaze fixed on Adeline.

“You know full well that I can’t rest,” I muttered, thinking about how the wolf had nearly taken control of me again.

“Staying awake won’t do you any good either,” he said. “If you won’t go home then at least take a nap in one of the waiting rooms; I’ll keep watch over her if that makes you feel any better.”

Did it make me feel better? Or did I want to be the only one to protect her, to be her sole guardian?

It was a selfish thought and I knew it, so I obliged John and retreated to the closest waiting room. The hours went by in a blur. My limbs basically moved themselves as my brain gave them simple orders; feed Adeline, watch Adeline, wipe her brow, help the nurses wash her body and redress her bandages.
