Chapter 27 - Missing Her
HUNTER
I sigh and look down at my full plate of food. My stomach growls, but I can’t bring myself to eat any of it.
I want her back. If I had my way, we would have sent someone else to go back and finish the investigation.
Also, I can’t quite put my finger on it, but something is gnawing at me. She was enjoying our multiple rounds of sex, but something felt a little different. Again, I can’t narrow it down to one thing, but something was a little off.
I take my fork and lightly poke at the steak before I push the small chunks of potato around.
Cough… Cough…
I slowly look up from my food and glance at my mother and father. “What?”
The corner of my mother’s mouth curves downward as she points to my plate. “Is something wrong with your food? You normally love steak, but you haven’t even to

BRAYDENI politely nod at everyone as I sit down at the table for supper beside Zack. The dining hall is full of people and chatter while the delicious smell of food drifts out of the kitchen.Zack quickly nods and looks away. He has been like this all day. Did I do something to irritate him? My wolf whimpers while I rake my brain, trying to find the one thing that I did to upset him. Unfortunately, I can’t find anything.My eyebrows furrow together as I stare at the side of his face.My thoughts are interrupted as Lindsey leans forward and looks around her brothers at me. “Hey, Alpha Brayden, we are going to have a small party tonight to welcome you back and to thank you for what you did with the rogues. Can you come? It won’t be right to have a party without the guest of honor.”I shake my head. “I don’t know. There i
The Fake Alpha Chapter 29 - Celebration
ZackI sneak a look to my side at Brayden while I force myself to keep a straight face. His face is bright red and so are his eyes.My heart twists at the sight, but as my walls slowly crumble down around me, his shirt moves to the side and the faint outline of a bite mark on his shoulder comes into view.Anger instantly rushes through me, and I look away. He can cough and gasp all he wants. I won’t apologize for what I did.While I mentally grumble about him, I take a gulp of my drink. The liquor bites at the back of my throat, but I ignore it while my mind continues to wish I could take that mark off him. I know it isn’t a mating mark, but it still rubs me wrong. I would rather my mark be on his delicate neck.Wait. What?No. I don’t want to mark him. I want a woman with plenty of curves to hold on to.My rece
The Fake Alpha Chapter 30 - His Real Name
ZackI stumble through the hallway towards Brayden’s room.With his arm draped around my neck, I tightly wrap my arm around his slender waist, keeping him from falling. His lilac scent swirls around us and fills my nose.Even though I was mad at him earlier, when I’m this close to him, I can’t stay angry no matter what he does.A calmness always seems to wash over me, and then a warmth fills my chest. Why does he have this effect on me?My wolf wags his tail as I wobble back and forth. I don’t think I should have drunk that much.I try to focus on the long hallway, but my vision blurs and for a moment, there are two of them in front of me.I blink a couple of times and shake my head. Luckily, my vision clears and I’m back to only seeing one hallway.Brayden drags his feet. Occasionally, he will try to walk, but
The Fake Alpha Chapter 31 - Who is Zack?
Hunter I barge into Bry’s house and march up to the bedroom. My father’s words still repeating in my head. Zack is an alpha waiting for an omega heir, which is exactly what Bry is. This can’t be happening. With my thoughts stuck on the various possibilities, my heart races as I storm into the bedroom. “Jacob! We have a problem!” He walks out of the bathroom with his hair tussled and wet. Water droplets glide down his muscular body and disappear into the towel wrapped around his waist. He wraps another towel around his shoulders and grunts, “What now?” I ignore his slight attitude and march towards the bed while I run my hand through my hair. “My father told me that Zack’s elders consider him to be an alpha. They say he is waiting for his omega heir.” I whip around and look at him. “Do you know what that means?” Jacob presses his lips together and takes a deep breath as he nods. “Yes. It means that there is a possibility that Zack is Bry’s true mate. We just have to
The Fake Alpha Chapter 32 - Why Are You Sleeping Next to Bry?
ZackRing…ring…ring…Ugh… Who is calling this early?I groan as I roll over and grab the phone off the nightstand. A grin bubbles up as I look down at Brayden and see he is still sound asleep next to me. My focus slides down to the bottom of his neck and his shoulder peeking out of his shirt. The dark bite mark shines bright as a sense of pride rushes through me.My grin instantly disappears as soon as I see Hunter flashing across Brayden’s phone.I accept the call and bark, “What do you want? Do you know what time it is?”The line goes silent as I tilt my head. “Is anyone there?”A faint growl spills from the phone as a guy grunts, “Zack? Is that you?”I flop back onto the pillow and put a hand behind my head. “Yeah, this is Zack. You didn’t answer my questio
The Fake Alpha Chapter 33 - How Could He?
BraydenI glare across the conference room table at Zack. His smirk is almost a permanent fixture on him this morning.How could he do that?This morning replays in my mind when I walked into the bathroom, along with my scream when I look at myself in the mirror.My eyes snap to a dark purple bite mark on my shoulder, which practically has a big neon arrow pointing to it. My boyfriend’s mark is almost completely gone, but this one is new.A wave of anger rushes through me as I think of the only person who could have done it. Zack.When did this happen? Better yet, why?My wolf prances back and forth and almost purrs while she refuses to tell me anything. Small fragments of last night suddenly flash through my mind.My stomach aches as various pictures zoom through my head where I’m hugging the toilet bowl while I throw up everything l
The Fake Alpha Chapter 34 - Getting There In Time
Jacob As the plane soars through the air, I look out the window at the blue sky and grunt, “Did you arrange for a vehicle to be waiting for us when we land? I don’t want to wait around for it. I don’t think we have much time left before something happens between those two.” My mind quickly fills with the various possibilities. All of which has Bry kissing Zack, and the spell is then broken. My heart twists. I’m not going to let that happen. As my gaze drifts down to the ground and the tiny buildings below, Hunter replies, “Yes. I have everything ready and set to go. As soon as we land, we can jump into the vehicle and have the driver take us to the pack house. If everything goes well, we can get there before anything more happens between the two.” I nod. “That’s good. Did your parents say anything to you when you asked your father to watch over your stuff and to help my father while we are gone?” My mother’s concerned voice replays in my head. Guilt washes over me fo
The Fake Alpha Chapter 35 - She Is Mine!!
Zack I ignore the black-haired guy’s words and the daggers shooting out of his eyes at me. There is only one thing on my mind right now and that is whether Bry is alright. My heart races as I lean in and look over his shoulder as he turns and storms into the bathroom behind the other guy. I don’t need a formal introduction to know who they are. Plus, I recognize their voices. They are Bry’s boyfriends. My wolf growls while I tentatively take another step closer to the door. My eyes widen when a naked Bry comes into view, but he isn’t exactly like what I normally see. His normal look of a man is there, but there is something else there, too. His look, which I’m used to seeing, is fainter, almost as if it is an illusion, but what lies under the normal look of Brayden is something totally different. As the water cascades down and around his body, it outlines a pair of round ampl
