Lahat ng Kabanata ng An Enemy Called Mate: Kabanata 141 - Kabanata 150

ZAREK I took a step closer to her, trying to bridge the gap between us. Then, I sat down next to her on the floor, hoping to be closer and more intimate.“But hey, we get a chance to be together during your busy schedules,” I said, trying to shift the focus to a more positive note.Tania's gaze narrowed, her anger still simmering. “You think a simple apology and a cute comment will fix everything?” she asked, her voice dripping with scepticism.I reached out to her, trying to connect.However, she smacked my hand away, causing me to wince in pain. “Ouch!” I exclaimed, surprised by her sudden movement.“Don't shift the subject. You think my efforts are useless,” Tania said, her voice laced with hurt and frustration.“I don't,” I replied, pausing to collect my thoughts. “Actually, I only agreed to this suggestion because of you. But I know those doctors, and they won't fix my wolf. They would only chase me out, call some asylum, or maybe the cops.”“Well, now this doctor is differen

ZAREKI furrowed my brows, confusion etched on my face.What?Just moments before, Dr. Everett had been eagerly sharing the success story of a patient who had mastered control over their transformations. Now, his words seem to contradict everything he said earlier.“It isn't?” I asked, hoping I'd misunderstood.Dr. Everett nodded, his expression unchanging. “No, it's not.”Instantly, my brief spark of hope was quenched, replaced by simmering frustration. This is ridiculous. I knew it was too good to be true.“Gosh, I should have known this is just a waste of time,” I scoffed, trying to hide my disappointment. Other specialists wouldn't even bother because nothing can be done about it.Dr. Everett's expression remained calm despite my rants, but his voice took on a hint of firmness. “Wrong. Something can be done about it, but it isn't easy,” he explained, his words halting my rant. I took a deep breath, calmed myself, and decided to listen attentively.What did I have to lose anyw

ZAREK The pungent smell of blood jolted me awake, making my stomach turn. I immediately started coughing uncontrollably, and blood spilt out of my mouth with each rasp.Even when I tried to push myself up, my arms barely responded, quivering under the strain.I felt weak—far weaker than usual. Had I injured myself during the transformation?I shook my head slightly, trying to recall. But the memories were hazy, blurred by pain.The only clear memory was how I had hurt Tania—or, worse, maybe even killed her.The thought hit me like a sledgehammer: my claws slicing through the air... her lifeless form.I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to block out the images, but they burned behind my eyelids, searing into my mind.I forced myself to focus, to push past the rising wave of guilt. I had to find out where I was and what had happened. But as I shifted, pain flared in my wrists, snapping me back to the present.I looked down and saw silver cuffs clamped tightly around them.Why am I cuff

ZAREK We stood there for a long moment, wrapped in each other's arms, the tension and fear melting away.The tremble in Tania's shoulders stilled, and when she finally pulled back, her eyes, once clouded with tears, had cleared.“I met Lizzy recently,” she whispered. The words startled me, and I felt my pulse quicken.“Lizzy? Is she alright?” I asked, searching her face for answers.The thought of anything happening to Lizzy sent a jolt of panic through me. I needed to know if she was okay.Tania nodded, “Yes, she came here with me.”As she spoke, the tightness in my chest eased, replaced by a wave of relief. If Lizzy was with Tania, then she had to be safe.Afterwards, I noticed that she shifted her gaze to what was behind me. Her expression shifted to a mix of relief and something else.Concerned, I followed her line of sight, and turned to see Lizzy.She stood in the doorway, her eyes locked on me. She didn't seem hurt or weary. She seemed rather strong. Stronger than I remembered

ZAREK I held my breath. Alpha Rowan? I had heard of him—a powerful Alpha who was supposed to have been killed along with his wife. But this? It didn’t make any sense.“That’s impossible. He and his wife were killed,” I said, my voice barely audible.“They were,” Lizzy confirmed, her eyes darkening with the weight of the truth. “Nikolas’s father and boss conspired to kill Alpha Rowan and his wife as part of a twisted plan to seize power. When the plan went south and Boss was discarded, he hid the truth from you to protect his own agenda.”The room felt like it was spinning, with the walls closing in as the reality of her words sank in. I felt like I was falling, unable to grasp anything solid. The man who raised me, who trained me, who I trusted—he’d kept this from me my entire life. I had lived in the shadow of a lie. “So, everything I thought I knew... was a lie?”Lizzy nodded; her expression pained. “He kept you in the dark because he didn’t want you to know where you really
