Vanessa's POV

By lunchtime, three students had suggested I break up with Cole.

The first whispered it outside our lecture hall. The second called it friendly advice. The third confronted me beside my locker, loud enough for everyone nearby to hear.

“Alpha Conrad says he won't support Cole because he refused to marry Odette Mason,” she said. “Don't you think you should do something?”

I recognized her from a class we'd taken last semester. Her name was Melissa. She used to save me a seat, borrow

  • Fake Dating The Lycan's Heir   Chapter 104: Loving Him

    Vanessa's POVBy lunchtime, three students had suggested I break up with Cole.The first whispered it outside our lecture hall. The second called it friendly advice. The third confronted me beside my locker, loud enough for everyone nearby to hear.“Alpha Conrad says he won't support Cole because he refused to marry Odette Mason,” she said. “Don't you think you should do something?”I recognized her from a class we'd taken last semester. Her name was Melissa. She used to save me a seat, borrow my notes, and complain about assignments with me. Now she stood with her arms crossed, waiting for me to agree that my relationship was a problem.“Cole's succession was being challenged before Conrad tried to arrange his marriage,” I replied. “And the council hasn't even decided whether to move the hearing forward.”“Maybe not, but he could lose everything because of you.”“Cole refused to marry someone he doesn't love. That was his decision.” I closed my locker. “I'm not leaving him to make ot

    Cole's POV“You may be his girlfriend, but you'll never be accepted as his Luna.”Odette blocked the garden path, glaring at Vanessa. I felt Vanessa's fingers tighten around mine, but she faced Odette without lowering her eyes.“You don't get to decide who accepts me,” Vanessa replied. “And you certainly don't get to decide whom Cole loves.”“Vanessa's right,” I said. “You've made your feelings clear, Odette. Now let us leave.”Odette looked at me, her anger giving way to something wounded. “I was your friend long before she came into your life.”“And I valued that friendship. But you can't keep hurting Vanessa because I don't feel what you want me to feel.”Her mouth tightened. For a moment, I thought she'd argue again, but Vanessa gently pulled my hand.“Come on, Cole.”I followed her without looking back.In the car, Vanessa watched the road in silence. I drove for several minutes before pulling into a quiet parking area. She turned toward me when I switched off the engine.“Odette

  • Fake Dating The Lycan's Heir   Chapter 102: Not Your Future Luna

    Vanessa's POV “Why would Odette invite me to lunch after what happened at the reception?” I handed Mom my phone while she poured herself a cup of tea. Two days had passed since the Ashford reception, and I still remembered how Odette had looked when Cole told her he couldn't return her feelings. She'd seemed genuinely heartbroken, which made her invitation difficult to understand. Mom read the message before returning my phone. “Perhaps she wants to apologize. But you don't have to accept just because she's trying to be friendly.” “I know. I just don't want things to become uncomfortable every time we attend the same gathering.” “Being civil doesn't mean you have to become friends, sweetheart.” Mom reached across the table and squeezed my hand. “And don't ignore your feelings simply because you don't want to upset someone.” I considered her advice while typing a message to Cole. He called before I'd finished my breakfast. “Bunny, you're going to lunch with Odette?” he asked, so

  • Fake Dating The Lycan's Heir   Chapter 101: The Marriage That Never Happened

    Cole's POV “Did your parents ever want you to marry Odette?” Vanessa asked before I could hand her the plate I'd brought from the refreshments. Her face was pale, and she kept glancing toward the other side of the ballroom, where Odette stood talking to a guest. I set the plates on a nearby table and reached for her hand. She let me take it, but her fingers were cold. “Odette told you that?” “She asked whether you had.” Vanessa looked at me, her eyes shining with hurt. “I didn't know what to say, Cole. I didn't even know there was something to ask about.” I remembered Conrad laughing about Odette becoming a Grayson someday. We'd been children, and I'd been more interested in getting outside to play than listening to adults discuss marriage. “Conrad used to talk about us marrying when we grew up,” I explained. “I thought he was joking. I don't know whether Dad ever discussed it seriously with him, but nobody arranged with me.” Vanessa withdrew her hand to straighten the strap o

    Vanessa's POV “Are you going to stand there watching me all evening?” Cole smiled at me through my bedroom mirror. He'd arrived at my mother's house twenty minutes earlier to collect me, and I'd spent most of that time adjusting a dress that hadn't looked nearly so troublesome when I bought it. “I'm waiting for you to admit you look beautiful,” he said, coming up behind me. I smoothed the blue fabric over my hips. “I'm more worried about what everyone else will think.” “Since when do you care what those people think?” “Since some of them started questioning whether you deserve to become Alpha because you refuse to control people.” His smile faded. He rested his hands lightly on my waist, and I turned to face him. The reception was being held that evening by the Ashford family to welcome visiting pack representatives. Cole had invited me after his meeting with Conrad Mason yesterday, explaining that several families involved in the succession dispute would attend. I hadn't wan

  • Fake Dating The Lycan's Heir   Chapter 99: Marriage Alliance

    Cole's POV“Conrad Mason wants you to marry his daughter.”I stopped in the doorway of Dad's study. He had called me downstairs shortly after speaking with Julian Vale, and I'd expected an update about their meeting tomorrow. Instead, he was telling me another man wanted to choose my wife.“Please tell me you refused.”“I told Conrad that your marriage isn't mine to arrange.” Dad put his phone aside. “He offered to support you against Brennan, Rusk, and Fenwick, but he wants an alliance between our families.”“Then he can forget it. I'm with Vanessa.”“I know, Cole. But Conrad has influence over several families Brennan is trying to win over. His support would make a difference.”I pulled out a chair, too irritated to sit comfortably. I remembered Odette Mason from the summers our families spent together. She'd followed me around the estate, insisting on joining my games even when I wanted to be left alone. We'd been friends, but I'd never given her reason to expect anything more.“Do
