Faking the Mate Bond 21. Rose and thorn
[Zephyr] I stood outside the room where Diana was being treated by the royal doctor, Lyvia. Alpha Urza was back from his sweet little trip outside the Hidden pack. He towered in front of me. The knights with him stepped to cuff me. He lifted his hand and dismissed them. I smiled to myself and looked into his eyes. “What happened to Diana?” He asked in a dark tone as if I did something to her. “Ask your daughter what your son did to her, alpha,” I said. He turned to enter the room when I said— “I hope you found your answers and proofs.” He glared at me like a hunter glares at the other hunter aiming for the same prey as him. He didn’t say a word and entered the room. I leaned against the wall, pulling my head supine. “Diana…” I mumbled, shutting my eyes. I had to control myself for her. No matter how much I want to kill Reese Xenon, I can’t. I shouldn’t. I tightened my fists, crossing my hand across my chest. “Zeph.” I opened my eyes and looked around. We were alone in

[Diana]“Please wake up, honeybee. Please…” I woke up to Willa’s sobs. “I promise I will be a better mother. Just save my son, please,” her hands were trembling and cold as she wrapped her hands around my hand. “Please wake up, Diana. Only you can stop your father now.”“Luna… please get a hold of yourself,” Lyvia tried to calm Willa, but she kept trying to wake me up.Tensing my brows, I opened my heavy eyelids. “Honeybee! Honey!”I looked at Willa, confused. What the hell was going on?I looked at Lyvia, who immediately prepared to check my blood pressure.“Please stop alpha. He will kill Reese. Please, Diana. I am begging you. I know what he did to you was wrong, but please give him one more chance, sweetie. I promise he will never repeat his mistakes. Please sweetie, save my son,” he pressed the back of her hand against her forehead, tears streaming down her eyes incessantly.“Reese?” I spoke.“Yes, honey. Your father is…” she choked on her tears. “Please, come with me and stop

[Diana] Among the tests that Lyvia conducted on me right after I was brought to the hospital, sexual assault was one of them. I had no recollection of the time I passed out. The fact that Reese actually used a heavy drug brought up that suspicion. Thankfully, there was nothing in the reports. But should I be thankful that he didn’t violate me while I was unconscious? Just the existence of a possibility where he could have touched my body while I was unconscious created an unfathomable restlessness in my heart. I hugged my knees to my chest, curling up against the headboard of my bed. I was back in the Xenon palace from the hospital. I wondered if it would have been better if I was never reborn? Because I was just trying to survive again. There was nothing like being alive in my life. All I have done ever since I was reborn is try to get stronger and independent and try to save my father and Lyvia from Reese and Willa. But I had been living in fear of the future every single day.
Faking the Mate Bond 24. What's up with them?
[Diana]Two weeks passed.Reese was still in the hospital and was on complete bed rest and medicine. Willa had to make several trips from the palace to the hospital in a day. She wasn’t in a condition to be plotting anything evil, but still I just couldn’t stop suspecting her.I know I shouldn’t, but I felt a little bad for her. She looked tired and sleepless all the time. Dark circles patched under her eyes. Her skin was dull and for the first time in two lives I saw her not dress up and do make-up. There were times she forgot to even comb her hair.We were sitting around the dining table. She quickly finished her food and got up to go back to the hospital.“Sit down,” father ordered gruffly.“Alpha, I have completed all the work in the palace,” she said.“I have a meeting tomorrow…”She spoke before father could complete, “I know. I have already gotten your clothes and documents ready.”“The monthly budget of the palace, payment of the staff and the upcoming expenses report…”Willa
Faking the Mate Bond 25. Be aware
[Diana] Janus ran his tongue over his inner cheek. “I… was telling Zeph that I wanted to ask Vera to be my date for the prom,” Janus said. “What? And WHAT?” I yelled. “You don’t have to double-what me. I knew you would react like this, so I thought maybe your sunshine could be of some help because he is too good at talking. Talking to girls especially,” Janus said, sneaking glances at Vera. “Ok. Ok. I am trying to wrap my head around all this. You met my bodyguard without my knowledge when he mostly is with me when I am with you. Then you became such close friends in a few weeks and you call him by his nickname — Zeph? I bet he calls you by some nickname, too?” “Yeah, I call him Jan,” Zephyr said proudly. “See!” Janus took a deep breath and said, “look, you don’t have to be jealous, ok?” “I am not jealous! But we have been best friends for years and how is it we don’t have nicknames for each other?” I said. “That’s what you are concerned about? I literally said I wanted Vera
Faking the Mate Bond 26. Game of hearts(18+)
[Diana]I was wearing a sleeveless, backless square neck, thigh split, spaghetti strap black gown that hugged every curve of my body. A strappy high heel complimented my gown with soft curls flowing down my long hair. I pulled the gown from the split down my upper thigh.I was in the VVIP room, standing in front of the dressing table. I kept the make-up to the minimum.I put the record on, and soft sensual music started flowing into the room.There were two low knocks on the door, followed by, “I am coming in.”I shut my eyes with a soft smile and tied the red blindfold over my eyes.I heard the door open. He walked in and shut it from inside.His deep chuckles teased my erratic heartbeats. “Prepared with a blindfold? Hmm. Guess I should take off my mask comfortably.”“If you wish to win the game, you’ll have to take off your mask,” I said.“Interesting.” He said and maybe took off his mask. He walked behind me and slid his arms under my breasts and around my hips. “But… when you ar

[Diana] “How long do you plan on staring at the question paper? What’s done is done. You can’t change it unless you bribe the teachers, which is impossible after you got Fin expelled from the faculty,” Janus said, sitting beside me in the back seat of my car as Zephyr drove us back to the palace from our academy. It was my last exam. I should have felt relieved, as if I had been free from a cage, but I didn’t… “How could I get the phases of the moon wrong? It was a ten mark question. Five marks solely for drawing the phases and labeling them correctly and the other five marks on the biological effect those phases of the moon have on werewolves,” I said. “At least you got the effect right.” “No, I wrote based on my diagram, which is completely wrong and…” I grunted. “I messed up. I am going to fail. My life’s over. If I fail, I won’t be eligible for the championship.” “Stop overthinking, girl. It’s just one question. Let it go,” Janus said. “Says someone who is going to get the p
Faking the Mate Bond 28. The art gallery
[Diana] “Do I look like a person who would enjoy visiting a vintage art gallery?” I asked Zephyr, entering the Xenon art gallery. “Sometimes we should trust the journey,” he said. “I am not a fan of quiet places,” I said. “Then you must be enjoying my company because I am never quiet.” “I like quiet people though,” I said and walked ahead of him. An indoor gothic water fountain welcomed us. There was a black marble statue of a beautiful mermaid, sitting on a huge rock, sensually curling her tail. Her fluttering hair covered her breasts. She was holding a book made from seashells in the middle of the fountain. Water magnificently sprayed out from the shell pages of that book. I looked around the art gallery. Its red walls were partially covered with paintings, portraits and pictures encased in intricately designed golden frames and some in glass box frames. There were statues carved in marbles, stones at intervals. The gallery was almost empty except for a few couples. I was
