Fake Mates Till Forever Chapter 20
LEAH I walked into the director's office with my head held high, my expression carefully neutral. When I entered the office, the air smelled like stale coffee and cheap cologne. Director Harlan sat behind his massive desk, his pot belly straining against the buttons of his shirt like it was one deep breath away from launching them across the room. He had been the director of this agency for as long as you anyone could remember.He was also a coward.And standing behind him, arms crossed, a smug smile plastered across her face, was Angela.Of course.I had walked right into a trap, and I hadn't even seen it coming."Leah," the director said, his voice clipped and cold. "Sit down."I sat. I didn't take my eyes off Angela."I'll make this quick," he continued, leaning back in his chair. "You're fired."I showed no reaction. No surprise. No anger. Just calm, steady stillness."May I ask why?" I said.The director's eyes narrowed. "You took on a wedding planning job without my authorizati

LEAH Sunlight spilled through the window, paiting golden strips across the floor. I woke up touching my lips.My fingers brushed against my mouth, still tingling from last night, and the memory of Santos's kiss came flooding back. The way his lips had moved against mine. The way his scent had filled my nose. The way my wolf had melted inside me like she had finally found what she had been searching for.I closed my eyes and replayed it. The pressure of his hand on my waist. The way he had pulled me against him. The deep, possessive sound he had made when I moaned.No.I sat up in bed, my heart pounding.Stop it. Stop thinking about it.This was fake. A performance. A deal.He was the Lycan King, playing a game. I was just a piece on his board. That kiss meant nothing to him. It was just another act, another part of the performance.But my wolf didn't agree. She was unusually content this morning, curled up inside me like a cat in sunshine, warm and satisfied and completely at peace.

LEAH My father finally snapped out of his daze and gestured toward the dining room. "Dinner is ready. Please, everyone, sit." The dining table had been extended to accommodate everyone. The aunts took their places. The cousins squeezed in. Vanessa tried to sit next to Santos, but he smoothly guided me to a seat beside him and took the one on my other side, effectively blocking her. The table felt smaller with Santos in it. His presence filled the air. His hand found my knee. Resting there. Warm. Heavy. I tried not to react. I tried to focus on the food, on the conversation, on anything but his hand on my leg. The dinner started slowly, awkwardly. Everyone was still recovering from the shock of his arrival. Plates were passed. Wines was served. Food were dished. Aunt Patricia couldn't stop smiling. She kept looking at Santos like he was her favorite character in a romance novel. Bianca was across from us, her eyes sharp and watching. Aunt Margaret broke the silence fir

LEAH "Goodness, Leah,” Bianca yawned loudly, making sure everyone could hear again as she swirled her glass of wine, “where is this big, powerful fiancé of yours? We’ve been waiting for almost two hours! Did he get lost on his way from his fancy castle?” A few relatives snickered. Uncle Robert, meek as always, chuckled nervously while glancing at Aunt Beatrice for approval. Aunt Patricia and Aunt Margaret exchanged uncomfortable glances, trying to stay polite, but even they looked doubtful now. Vanessas scoffed with disgust. “Some of us just can’t keep a man, now we make up lies to look important.” I gripped my phone, my knuckles turned white. “I didn’t lie. He could be held up in traffic. He’ll be here soon.” What's their headache? Bianca laughed, high and fake. “Traffic? Or maybe he realized this whole engagement is just a sad little lie you framed up to make Austin jealous. I mean, come on, sister. Santos De Luca? The terrifying Lycan King? With you?” She shook her he

LEAH I drove home faster than I should have, my heart pounding, my mind racing. My mother's panicked voice echoed in my head. 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 hands, a small mis

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
