All Chapters of Fake dating my bestie's dad for Valentine : Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

RUNESo he did this, small gestures of precarious kindness after mom’s words cut my heart to pieces. Pathetic. Truly pathetic. I always hated when he did that. I swallowed my resentment and pulled my hand from his touch. Lorenzo passed me a glass of whiskey which I immediately gulped down, ignoring their worried glances. Mom returned a while later, grumbling about how there wasn’t enough snacks to go round. I calmly told her that I didn’t come here for snacks. Once we were all seated, it was time for me to say something. I thought of how best to start and settled for “I know I’m adopted.”Nothing could have prepared me for the looks on mom and dad’s faces. Horror. Confusion. Guilt. All muddled together. I straightened my back, subconsciously fiddling with my thumbs. “I’m not saying this to accuse you or anything, I’m saying it so you know that there’s no need to hide it anymore. Or feel you have to overcompensate.”“Rune, what do you mean by that? Who told you? You’re our daugh

RUNE“You’re ignoring me, master.”“Master, won’t you say something? This is the first time we’re able to talk. You should say something.”“Master? Master? Can you hear me?”I walked into my apartment, shut the door behind me and threw myself down on my couch. “Stop calling me master.”My lycan laughed, her voice grating and annoying, despite how musical it sounded. “But you are my master. How can I not call you that? Would you rather I called you weakling?”“I am not a weakling!” I sat up, anger shooting through my head. “Just call me Rune, is that clear?”“Whatever,” she huffed. I sat there, blinking back my shock. Did my lycan just try to sass me? “Whatever?! Have you lost your damn mind?!…hold on, why the fuck am I arguing with a phantom right now?! Get out of my head and quit disturbing me.”“Unfortunately, I cannot do that, master. You and I are one. One cannot exist without the other.”I laid on my couch, glaring off into space. This was wild. Too damn wild. Never did I think

DYLANI’ve known Xavier Creigthon for twenty years. The day my five year old self met him was the day my life turned around for the better. He took me under his wing and appointed me as his beta once I came of age. That saying, I’ve known him for two decades. I can safely say I’m finely attuned to his moods and his behaviors. And right now, staring across from him as he reviews a tough case file, there’s only one thing I can see. Two, actually. Soul crushing despair. And exhaustion. The kind of exhaustion that burns deep into the eyes and doesn’t disappear even after twenty four hours of sleep. “Sir,” I called, keeping my voice low so as not to rattle him. Even still, he jerked sharply and looked up at me. I leaned forward an inch. “You’ve been on that page for five minutes now,”“Ah,” Xavier Creighton is a man of many names depending on who you ask. Enemies of his pack will call him the Beast alpha. Enemies of the law will call him the Demon Attorney. Everyone in wolf society kn

RUNEI stared at the card in my hands, the phone number scribbled in elegant cursive, the address written under it.Dad said this was in the basket when I was found. He didn’t give it to me when I revealed the truth due to how hasty our meeting was.This, I realized, could change everything.If this is tied to my real parents…could they be alive? Somewhere out there? Could it be that other lycans like me survived?Hope soared in my heart.It’s been a day, and I still haven’t called the number. I did check out the address online, and it didn’t show up anything interesting on the map. Just a strip of trees.I glanced at my wrist watch. It was 9am. I’d finally decided to do it today, since it was the weekend.“Just call the number, Rune. There’s no need to overthink anything.”“You could be walking to your death, master.” My lycan whispered.“Shut up.” I hissed. She laughed and disappeared to wherever she goes when she’s not tormenting me.Yeah right. Like she won’t be happy with that.I

RUNEI would be lying if I said my lycan was in control right now.No. this was all me. This was Rune, doing what she wanted to do. What she had always wanted to do.I saw the struggle in Xavier’s eyes. The way his fists clenched furiously. The way he hesitated, seconds after I issued my command. He’s fighting it. It’s adorable, heart warming even. But if there’s anything our little training has shown, it’s the absolute power of my command. He can fight, but he won’t overcome it.I’m tired. Tired of being treated like a little flower. I know what Xavier is capable of. I’d have thought that by now, he would have shown that side to me. I know that underneath all his civility and good manners is a beast.Maybe something is wrong with me right now.Maybe I should stop, call off the command and leave, forget about it all and go back to my life.Back to my life? The one where he’s too kind to me?No.I don’t want that anymore.“What are you waiting for?” I asked, unable to stop the smile s
