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 47: Working as a Team

Adeline POV

“So what is there between you and Mark?” Eliana asked as we prepped for our experiment.

Mark had made a run to the lab storage facility to stock up on supplies before we continued to work. Eliana had taken the opportunity to grill me once again about my and Mark’s friendship. Every time I told her that there was nothing happening between us she just smirked and rolled her eyes in disbelief.

“Honestly Eliana, Mark and I are just friends,” I said for what seemed like the millionth time. “We’re just really close is all.”

“Okay, then, “she said while adjusting her goggles, “if it’s not Mark then who is it?”

“There’s no anyone.”

“I don’t believe that,” she smirked again. “That look that you have in your eye, that’s the look of unrequited love. You’re smitten with someone but it’s not going well.”

Damn this girl was perceptive. I had been certain that my poker face could not be deciphered by anyone, but disappointment over Zale seemed to be seeping through my mask.
