LEAH

Warm sunlight streamed through my bedroom window, painting the walls in soft gold. For a few seconds, my mind was blissfully blank. I completely forgot the chaos of my life. Then, reality rushed back like a bucket of ice water.

Nightingale was dead. The family dinner was tonight. Santos was going to sit at my family's table and pretend to be in love with me.

This was going to be a disaster.

I groaned and pulled the pillow over my face. My wolf stirred inside me, stretching like she had jus

  • Fake Mates Till Forever   Chapter 16

    LEAH I drove home faster than I should have, my heart pounding, my mind racing. My mother's voice echoed in my head—panicked, breathless, wrong. Something was wrong. I pulled into the driveway and ran inside. My mother was pacing the living room, her hands wringing together, her face pale. "Leah! Thank the moon you're here." She grabbed my arms, her eyes wide. "You're three aunties are coming. And your cousins. And your uncle Robert. And—" I blinked. "What?" "Everyone, Leah." Her voice cracked. "Everyone is coming. My heart sank into my stomach. This wasn't going to be a small family dinner anymore. This was going to be a full pack gathering. All the relatives, all the questions, all the eyes watching my every move, waiting for me to slip. "Why?" I asked. "Why are they all coming?" "Bianca." My mother hesitated. "She may have... helped spread the news." Of course she did. I looked toward the dining room. Bianca was already sitting at the table, a cup of tea in her

    LEAHMy blood instantly turned to ice. I closed my eyes for a fraction of a second, my jaw tightening as I slowly turned around.Valeria stood alone in the doorway of the boutique. Her small frame was swallowed by the soft lighting of the shop, and she was smiling—that sweet, innocent smile that made my wolf want to bite her face off. Austin wasn't in sight this time. Then she rushed toward me, her steps quick and unsteady, like she might fall at any moment. Her arms were outstretched, her eyes were wide, and everything about her screamed fragile and innocent and helpless."Leah!" she said, her voice breathless. "I'm so glad I found you. Did you get my message?""I got it," I said, my voice flat. "And today is excluded. I have something important to do. Tomorrow we can start working together."Valeria nodded quickly, but her face crumpled. Her lower lip trembled, and her eyes filled with tears."I'm so sorry about what happened," she said, her voice shaking. "I didn't mean it. I was

My wolf stirred inside me, stretching like she had just woken up from a long sleep. She wasn't sad like I was. She wasn't scared. She was... excited.I hated her sometimes.My phone buzzed on the nightstand. I reached over and grabbed it, squinting at the bright screen.The screen was a war zone of notifications. Valeria: "Leah, I'm so sorry about yesterday. I didn't mean to upset you. The bird was sick, I swear. I hope you can forgive me. Can we still meet today to look at venues? I have so many ideas and I need your opinion. You're good at what

    LEAH I laughed through my tears, because it sounded so stupid. "She was my bird." I said. "I won her in competition back in college. I raised her. She used to sit on my finger and sing." I wiped my nose with the back of my hand. "I gave her to Austin. After my injury. When I couldn't use my fingers properly anymore. He promised to take care of her. He promised.""And Valeria killed her."It wasn't a question. He already knew."She said she killed it," I whispered. "She laughed about it. She said the bird was annoying and she killed it."Santos was quiet for a long moment. I could hear him breathing, slow and controlled, like he was holding himself back from something.Then he whispered so soft I almost didnt hear it. "She won't get away with this."I started crying again, and I couldn't stop. All the pain from the past few days—the betrayal, the humiliation, the fake engagement, the wedding planning, everything—came pouring out of me in ugly, heaving sobs. I didnt even mind if Santo

  • Fake Mates Till Forever   Chapter 12

    LEAH Nightingale was a beautiful bird I had won in a grueling national competition back when we were both in college. During the final round of that competition, I had suffered severe, permanent damage to my right hand—a fractured finger that had healed poorly, leaving me unable to use the finger the same way ever again. Only my parents, Matteo, and Austin knew the agonizing truth of what that victory had cost me. The bird as well had been injured when I got her—a broken wing that never healed quite right. She couldn't fly, couldn't function like a normal bird. The veterinarians said she would need special care for the rest of her life.And I had given her to Austin not only a symbol of my sacrifice and my trust, but because he had promised to take care of her. He had promised to cherish her, to keep her safe, to make sure she never felt alone."You're not alone, Leah," he had said, back when we were still friends. Back when I still trusted him. "And neither is she. I'll take care

    LEAH I pushed through the double glass doors of the lobby, still staring at Santos’s final text message. The arrogant jerk had agreed to come to dinner tomorrow, but only after making me squirm first. A tiny, involuntary smile tugged at the corner of my lips, but before I could completely process the strange, fluttering feeling in my chest, my shoulder slammed hard into something solid. "Oh, I am so sorry—" I began, stumbling back. A pair of steady hands caught my forearms, bracing me. "Whoa there, careful!" I looked up, blinking. Standing in front of me was a stunningly handsome man with a shock of vibrant, deep red hair and a bright, charming smile that probably sold millions of magazine covers. I instinctively took a quiet breath, expecting the familiar scent of a wolf, but there was nothing. No pheromones, no heavy territorial weight. He wasn't a werewolf. He wasn't human either. But as I looked closer at his sharp jawline and the structure of his face, a sudden wave of
