Faking the Mate Bond 139. Light through darkness
[Diana’s POV](Trigger warning: Reader’s discretion advised.)***Ever since I returned to the Pretis palace, I knew something was off.But it took me a while to realize that something was wrong with Zephyr. I felt it odd when I told him I wanted to rest and he just let me rest.Whenever I say I wanted to rest, we usually end up having sex, but this Zephyr was trying to avoid intimacy with me. Yes, he hugged me, but that was it. He even avoided kisses. I will not lie. I was scared for some time that maybe everything that was going around me was affecting our relationship. The thought that Zephyr might actually be falling out of love with me haunted me until Janus asked me the same thing.Janus told me how Zephyr was not Zephyr, even though he almost completely acted like Zephyr.That’s when I sensed it and I wished we were wrong, so I checked it for myself yesterday.Kazeal might have prepared himself to be like Zephyr in every aspect, but I knew he wouldn’t ever be able to prepare

[Diana’s POV]Grave?I felt my body go limp.I shook my head. No. This isn’t possible.Archer and Willa teleported me to the graveyard where Janus and lady Ilana had dug out a coffin.Carol shrieked agonizingly over the coffin.“No. No…” Stumbling, I fell beside the coffin.Janus dug his claws into the coffin and broke open the lid.“Zeph!”“Zephyr!”“Son!”Archer and Janus got Zephyr out of the coffin and laid him on the ground.His pulse and breaths were weak. He was unconscious.I covered my mouth with my hands. Kazeal had buried him alive.“Zeph! Zephyr!” Janus shook his body. “Hey man! Get up!”“Zephyr! Son!” Lady Ilana tapped his cheek.Archer made his way beside Zephyr. He asked us to move away from Zephyr to allow air circulation around him.“Ila, check his pulses and tell me if they turn weak,” Archer said and lady Ilana scuttled beside Zephyr, keeping her fingers on his pulses.“Messiah!” Kazeal roared.Janus stood in front of me and Willa, glaring right into Kazeal’s eyes.
Faking the Mate Bond 141. Under the starry night
[Zephyr’s POV] Diana and Kaz regained their consciousness as the three of us returned to the sky, our battlefield. Kaz looked at Diana and then at me. The mana I had gathered around me was massive enough to cause an explosion that would end half of the world. I knew I had to stop, but I didn’t know how to stop it. Diana was already weak and upon that I was absorbing mana right from her soul. I need to get her away from me… Kaz flew beside Diana. Grabbing her arm, he tore her away from my proximity. Breaking the gravity of my soul that pulled mana from his soul, he pushed Diana towards the ground. “Zephyr…” Diana’s scream faltered as she neared the ground. I whistled sharply. The winds, combined with Kaz’s threads of mana, surrounded her and helped her land safely on the ground. Kaz turned to me. “It’s you against me now. Kill me and end this last war,” he said. “If I do that, who will save this world?” I said. Kaz frowned. “What do you mean?” “With the amount of mana

Faking the Mate Bond 1. The tragedy
[Diana]‘A courtesan can never be a luna.’My mother-in-law’s words haunted my head as I looked around the palace frantically. Our beta was dead.Our gamma’s head was displayed on the gallow among our pack public to instill terror in their hearts.The palace was surrounded by our enemy, our warriors falling over the battlements every second.“Luna! You have to hide! Luna!” My knight, Noah’s warning, snapped me out of the nightmare I was living.“Hide? Where can I hide? We are surrounded. It’s just a matter of time… they infiltrate the palace and then…” I placed my hand over my belly.The rules of a pack war, the winning party not only wins the pack, land, its army and its territory, but its women and its victor alpha win the luna of the defeated pack. And if the luna was pregnant, the first thing the victor alpha did was get rid of the previous alpha’s child and what was left for the luna was a life of humiliation, torture, pain — a life worse than hell.“No, luna. It’s not over yet
Faking the Mate Bond 2. Reborn with a splash
[Diana]‘... before dying you asked a question to yourself — “who am I?” I am giving you a second chance to find an answer to this question. Who are you? How do you define yourself, Diana?’I faintly heard a voice as I felt my lifeless body hovering in a cold place with darkness engulfing me.Splash!I woke up with a gasp. Coughing hysterically as water gushed into my nose rising to my forehead.Panting, I looked around.“Oh, my! Finally, she is up.” Willa, my step-mother, said.She had a glass jar in one hand and her typical black fixed hand fan in her other hand, behind which she hid her face from her nose.I looked at her, and her maids, baffled.Willa shoved the glass jar in my personal maid, Vera’s hand, and hugged me, burying my face in her breasts.My cheeks squished as she rubbed her cheeks in my hair.“I was so worried about you, my honey bee. For once, I thought you died.”Willa said in her exceptionally beautiful voice. Her voice was like a siren’s song and her ocean blue e
Faking the Mate Bond 3. Fabricate her results
[Diana] Father’s Excalibur was waiting for us near the entrance of the palace. The black and silver beauty that spoke of royalty and wilderness. Cars always enticed me in the past, but father’s Excalibur allured me. I sat on it once when I had to accompany my father for a medical checkup in the past. Hal, father’s butler, opened the door for me. I got in the back seat with Lyvia and my father sat in the passenger’s seat. Hal started the car. Tingles of excitement ran through my body as I watched Hal deal with those buttons, gears and steering wheel. It was so cool; it made my heart flutter. Lyvia smiled at me. “Princess seems to like cars.” “I love them!” I gave her an excited smile. I felt my father’s gaze on me through the driver's mirror. He swiftly shifted his gaze on the road ahead when I glanced at him in the mirror. Soon, we reached the academy. The academy was basically a gothic castle in shades of white, grey, brown and black aesthetics. The Xenon academy had been a
Faking the Mate Bond 4. Haunted balustrade
[Diana]I stared at Janus Lakin, seventeen years old, the only son of the beta of our pack. I had seen him several times in the past, but never talked to him. My first impression of him was silent, cold, rude and a nerd.I guess rude doesn’t apply when I call him silent and nerd because basically he could be introverted, but I was kind of mentally sick in the past and so are my impressions of other people.Gosh! I seriously hate myself from the past. What exactly was I? A judgemental llama who thinks she is everything and the entire world is for her step upon. I was pathetic.And now here I am judging myself when I have better things to worry about.Janus’ sharp gaze behind his circular frames bore into me and then at the balu
