My Mate’s Deception
“Mom, I promised James I’d take care of Ivy. She’s fragile. If she finds out it was James who died, she won’t survive it.”
“My plan, now that I’ve faked my death, is to give Ivy a child. That way, she has a reason to live other than James. As for Emily, I haven’t formed a mate bond with her. She won’t sense who I truly am. Once Ivy has the baby, I’ll tell her everything.”
My mind went completely blank, and I could hear buzzing in my ears. All the blood in my body froze.
The obsidian pendant in my hand dug deep into my palm, but I couldn’t feel the pain.
