All Chapters of The Alpha's pretend mate : Chapter 1 - Chapter 6

AVELORANo, I definitely wasn't hallucinating. Was he mistaken? there was no way I was his mate.Maybe he was drunk.I looked around searching for some sort of sanity but everybody wore the same expression I did. Faces that sent a clear message that I wasn't worthy enough to be a mate to someone like him.I became horrifyingly aware of everything that was going on. The sticky feeling of the drink clinging to my skin, the extremely prejudiced look people were giving me.Alpha Khyrix was close, too close to me for comfort.I could see the faint line in between his brows, the way his jaw tightened as he inhaled again. His gaze were fixed on me like he was trying to solve a problem he never asked for."No."Natalia was the first to break the silence with a mocking laugh "That's not funny."She shoved me out of the way and got in front of me, she placed her hand on Khyrix's chest stopping him in his track.

He didn't return the same agression that my father carried around, everything about him was controlled, barely anything noticeable.My heart slammed violently against my chest. “Don’t touch my mate.” everytime I heard the word mate, something in me flipped.My father’s nostrils flare
