Cole

Rose called me the next morning and asked me to come by without Vanessa.

“You are becoming part of her medical situation whether you intended to or not,” Rose said after I sat across from her. “I need to know whether your bond responses have changed.”

“My Lycan reacts whenever her wolf comes forward.”

“How strongly?”

“Strong enough that I can usually tell before Vanessa says she heard or sensed something.”

“Does she know that?”

“No.”

Rose set her pen down. “Does she know she

  • 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

  • Fake Dating The Lycan's Heir   Chapter 100: The Girl From His Past

    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

  • Fake Dating The Lycan's Heir   Chapter 98: The Condition

    Lillian's POV“Alistair Voss.”I leaned closer to Arden's computer, hoping I'd misheard her. “Are you sure that's his name?"Arden pointed to the entry on the screen. “He's listed as the receiving officer for the transferred reference. That doesn't establish whether he handled Julian's objection personally or made any decision about your registration.”Helen pulled her chair closer. “Alistair was involved in Lillian's childhood. We already know he had access to information about her that he shouldn't have had.”“And now his name is connected to Dad's objection?” I asked. “How many times is that man going to turn up in my life?”Alistair had already caused enough trouble, and the fact that he'd escaped confinement made seeing his name again even worse. I was tired of discovering how much of my childhood had passed through the hands of people I couldn't trust.“Can you tell us when the reference reached him?” I asked.“The receipt date falls between the council's acknowledgement of Juli

  • Fake Dating The Lycan's Heir   Chapter 97: A Name Missing From the Register

    LILLIAN’S POV “Four registration references, and not one of them has a name?” I stared at the document Arden had placed on her desk. Helen leaned closer, adjusting her glasses to examine the numbers. “The names were recorded in a separate schedule,” Arden explained. “Unfortunately, the council hasn't located it.” “Then how do we know whether my registration was included?” “We don't. But this summary confirms that the joint verification exercise took place and was marked as completed.” I picked up the second page. Four numbers appeared beneath the heading Pending Heir Declarations, followed by dates and abbreviations I didn't understand. “Could each number belong to a different child?” “Possibly. Some references cover multiple registrations, so we shouldn't assume that.” Helen frowned. “Julian challenged this exercise because he was worried about Lillian's registration. Surely they wouldn't have accepted his objection if she wasn't involved.” “Receiving an objection doesn't pr

  • Fake Dating The Lycan's Heir   Chapter 96: The Promise

    VANESSA’S POV “I want you to promise that you won't make decisions about my life without talking to me first.” Cole stared at me, his car keys dangling from one finger. “Where's this coming from? Have I done something?” “No. But I want us to talk about it before it becomes a problem.” He glanced toward the sitting room, where Dad was laughing at something on television. “Should we go outside?” I nodded and followed him onto the porch. Cole closed the door behind us, then turned to face me. “Tell me what's bothering you, Vanessa.” “You know how much I hated finding out that my parents sealed my powers when I was four. I understand they were trying to protect me, but I still had to live with the consequences.” “And you're worried I'll make the same mistake?” “I'm worried you'll decide something is too dangerous for me and try to handle it without asking what I want.” Cole slipped his keys into his pocket. “I'd never deliberately go behind your back.” “I believ
