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 14: It Wasn’t Me

Adeline’s POV

I watch Zale’s back as he walks away, his fluffy hair bouncing slightly with each step. I sigh and lean back in the chair, already missing his earthy scent. It’s been a long two days here without him.

I want to scold myself for not acting rationally when he walked into the room unexpectedly. I had assumed he wouldn’t be returning home until later this evening, so I was shocked to see him, and I think that’s why I acted without thinking.

“Remember the contract.”

His words shiver down my spine with how icy each syllable sounded off his tongue. I didn’t think he would respond that way to a simple hug, especially after the little flirty comments we had exchanged in the past. It was unexpected.

After sitting in silence for a moment, watching the doorway to the library hoping Zale might walk back into the room to sit beside me silently while I read, I realize he isn’t coming back and decide to check the time on my phone. 3:05 p.m.
