Chapter 17: Fake Fiancee

“I’m afraid I don’t have very long, Nat,” Wisteria’s sweet voice sounded a little weak. Alyssa almost stopped dead in her actions, clutching the plate in her trembling hands.

“Not very long, Grandma. Ally and I are very loving, and we can’t stand a single day without each other.”

She put down the dripping plate in the dish drainer. His words drove chills down her spine. She knew it was a lie, but just to hear these sugar-coated words coming from Nat’s mouth just made her hair stand on end.

Alyssa reminded herself that she was a werewolf, and no man should be able to command her in this way.

But wasn’t she just contradicting herself when he had insisted on her washing the dishes? When she drew up a contract for him with her lawyer, she expected that she would be the one on the other end of the reins, not him.

He was just an escort who she accidentally marked! Even becoming her contractual lover was just because of that damn bond!
