Chapter 8

Zoey Malik

~•~

“What was that for?” I asked, shocked, as he pulled away.

He just wanted me to be his pretend mate, I had no idea it would involve kissing him. The truth was that I still had feelings for Conrad.

Even though he rejected me, it will take a while before I can heal and forget about him. I wasn’t sure I would ever forget about him. But moving on was going to be difficult.

“You saw how everyone stared at you like you were a stranger, right?” He whispered in

    Chapter 10 Conrad Stone ~•~ I was lost in my thoughts throughout the entire mating ball. Wendy was enthusiastic about everything. She even spent the last few minutes dancing to the soft music that pulsed through the ballroom. I tried my best to stay focused, but my mind kept wandering over to Zoey and Sean. It had been a week since she left. For someone who didn’t really want Zoey as his mate at first, her absence affected me so much. I didn’t know if it was because she was under another man’s roof or because I felt guilty. After all, I was about to punish her for a crime that she didn’t commit. I didn’t have the confirmation yet, but I just had this feeling that she didn’t do it. It was just a week left before Sean revealed the real killer. As the days went by, my curiosity grew. I wanted to know who the real killer was. I attempted to investigate the murder on my own, but I couldn’t come up with anything. Ethan’s parents didn’t want their son to be buri

    Chapter 9 Zoey Malik ~•~ As I sat down on the bed in my new room, my mind wandered back to the kiss Sean and I had just shared. I knew it was fake but it still made my heart race. His lips had been firm and warm against mine. It was too intense for something that was only meant to be an act. Why did it feel like something shifted that moment? I exhaled, letting a finger touch my lips. “It’s just a contract, Zoey. It doesn’t mean anything.” I muttered to myself. “I’m sure Sean didn’t even feel anything.” I tried to convince myself to stop being delusional about the situation. But then again, Sean didn’t have to kiss me like that. Not with that much force. He could’ve just wrapped his hands around my waist if he wanted the pack member to think that I belonged to him. But he chose to kiss me instead. A gentle knock on the door interrupted my thoughts. I stood up from the bed and answered the door. As the door swung open, I saw a pretty lady standing in front of me

The truth was that I still had feelings for Conrad. Even though he rejected me, it will take a while before I can heal and forget about him. I wasn’t sure I would ever forget about him. But moving on was going to be difficult. “You saw how everyone stared at you like you were a stranger, right?” He whispered in my ear, his hot breath fanning my shoulders. I nodded slowly but didn’t utter a word. “I want them to know that you’re mine, I don’t want them to see you as a stranger.” He added, pulling me closer. “We have to make them believe that we are mates. I can’t risk anyone finding out the truth.” I closed my eyes briefly, letting out a deep exhale. “Okay.” As Sean and I walked through the compound, I felt dozens of eyes on my skin, but I didn’t bother to look at them. I still felt weird.

    Chapter 7 Zoey Malik ~•~ “Are you sure you’re making the right decision?” Selena asked, her eyes teary. “You barely know this man, I don’t think you should go with him.” She added, the concern in her voice unmistakable. I let out a wistful sigh. “I don’t have any other option. It’s either I leave with him or get thrown into the dungeon.” I replied, my voice trembling slightly. Selena pulled me into a warm embrace. “I don’t want you to leave with him. I’m scared.” She continued, her voice barely above a whisper. Before I could respond, Sean’s voice echoed from behind us. “Wrap it up, I don’t have all the time in the world.” He said without a care in the world. Was I making the right decision by leaving with him? If only I had a third option, I wouldn’t be going with a total stranger. “I’ll keep in touch. I’m sure I’ll be okay.” I whispered in her ear. “Call me when you get there.” I nodded, wiping off the tears that were flowing down my face. He made me

    Chapter 6 Conrad Stone ~•~ “Are you out of your mind?” Wendy exclaimed. “Why did you let him take her? Do you want the other members of the pack to think that you aren’t a man of your word?” Her eyes blazed with anger. I let out a sharp exhale. “Wend…..” She cut me off before I could complete my sentence. “You’re giving her a free pass for murder.” She continued, staring at me in shock. “Now other people would think that it’s cool to commit murder because there’s a possibility of getting away with it.” I understood Wendy’s concerns but my mind was racing with different thoughts and I needed her to chill. Just as she opened her mouth to speak again, I interrupted her. “Enough!” My thunderous voice made her flinch. “Can you just stop talking for a second?” I asked, my tone softer. She shook her head. “I don’t know if you’re under a spell. But I’m not.” She said, folding her arms around her chest. “If you’re not going to do something, I’ll be the one to stop them

    Chapter 5 Zoey Malik ~•~ I still had no idea who the man was, but I had no choice but to follow him. It was my only way to escape the punishment. The moon goddess finally gave me a miracle. My legs felt weak as he carried me away from the crowd. The pack members were murmuring behind us, but I didn’t look back at them. I already knew that most of them weren’t pleased that I was leaving without getting my punishment. I was even surprised that Conrad agreed to let me go. But how could I trust a stranger to expose the real killer in two weeks? The thought of being thrown into the dungeon was scary. He didn’t speak to me as we walked. He didn’t try to comfort me. He didn’t ask if I was okay. But I felt safe as he held my hands. Once we finally left the crowd, I stopped. “What?” He asked, narrowing his eyes on me. “Who sent you?” I asked, folding my arms. “Why did you call me your mate?” My mind was racing with different unanswered questions.
