Chapter 20
The herb*Xavier drove into the huge moonstones castle and alighted from his car.The castle felt lonely to him all of a sudden, he felt like he was no longer complete. He had returned home but home was no longer home without Adriana."There you go missing her. I already told you to mark her but you didn't. It's your fault" Red said to him.
" Next week is not so far away" Xavier replied even when he knew that next week seemed so far away from him.
He longed for his birthday to arrive, he had never wanted his birthday so much.

Aunty Sarah was having a secret meeting with the other elders of the coven."The plan is going to start very soon, I want you all to lay low. Take control of everyone, make sure no one takes a rash decision or makes silly moves" Aunty Sarah said to them.
" Do you mean Adriana is a step closer to the moonstone?" An elder asked.
" Next week, Adriana would go the moonst
Chapter 21A fake mate?*A few days later"Today, we will leave for the moonstones town for the Alpha's birthday. I want you all to be totally composed, no form of trouble, be gentle there, do not reveal any weakness, and remember that the moonstones pack are stronger so do not get into a fight with them, okay?" The alpha of the Night Walker's pack asked."Okay!" Every other wolf chorused.Today was finally the day for Adriana, the day her revenge plan will eventually begin."Can you please think about something else apart from the revenge?" Whix asked." Something else? Such as what?""Such as the fact that you are going to be meeting our mate tonight and you have to dress up sexily so you can get marked!"" C'mon, he likes me this way"" Likes you this way? Go and get dressed up! Do you know how many sexy girls would be in the moonstones town? You want him to feel embarrassed walking with you?"" Oh...
Chapter 22Lucky? Not lucky!*"Father, how can you think of giving me a fake mate?!" Xavier asked, totally shocked."It might be the best thing to do," Stefan said and Xavier looked at him in surprise."You know about this too?" Xavier asked.He was surprised by this act but he knew that he didn't need any fake mate, he had his original mate."I don't want any fake mate from you, I will get my mate today and introduce her to you today!" He replied and walked out.*Alpha Collen shook his head, Xavier had to agree to his wishes, no matter what, he had to.This was for the good of the pack."I will try to talk to Xavier" Stefan said and walked out after Xavier.Alpha Collen admired Stefan, Stefan was ready to do anything for the success of the pack and although Xavier was too, Xavier always wanted to do things differently, Xavier was too soft-hearted.*Adriana ran out of the bus and walked around
Chapter 23I accept the fake mate*Xavier was beyond confused, he still had no idea what he had done wrong but he felt bad that he was the reason behind her tears.He had no idea how him being the alpha Xavier of the moonstones pack hurt her. Every girl wanted him so why was she not happy?!"A... Adriana, what are you saying?!" He asked, his voice getting raised in confusion."Xavier, I thought that we were compatible, I thought... I thought we could be together and have a good life but... But I was wrong, I have been wrong all along!!!" Tears continued to stream down her cheeks and Xavier wanted so desperately to wipe those tears off."Xavier, we... We are not compatible" she said." Wh... What do you mean? You just can't tell me you don't want me anymore!" Xavier replied, tears gradually clouding his own eyes too.This was starting to become real, he so much wanted this to be a birthday prank but it didn't seem like that
Chapter 24Heartbreak*"You accept her?" Alpha Collen asked. He was definitely shocked at the positive response from his son whom he was thinking it was going to be hard for them to convince but here he was gladly accepting."Yes, it is for the success of the pack, I accept her," he affirmed but Alpha Collen knew the success of the pack wasn't just the reason for him to accept her.There was more, but he couldn't get his fingers on what it was."Where is the fake mate?" Xavier asked." I think you should know her, Emilia from the Snowpack," Stefan replied and Xavier almost retracted his earlier words.Emilia was the most clingy and obsessive girl he knew. Xavier knew just how many girls Emilia had bullied and beaten up because they admired him in front of her.Getting Emilia as a mate for him was probably not the best but what could he do? This was his way of getting back Adriana and for her, he could cope with any being.
Chapter 25Stay back at the moonstones?*"Xavier" Emilia called with a weird, cheeky smile and walked up to Xavier seductively."Emilia, cut this off," Xavier said, totally ignoring her advances."But I am now your mate" she pouted in a way that Xavier didn't find cute at all."Fake mate" he corrected."But that's not what others think," she said and tried to sit on his lap but Xavier pushed her to the bed."Listen, Emilia, you know very well that all this is fake. So kindly, respect yourself"Xavier walked out of the room, annoyed by Emilia. This was the reason he never wanted her as his fake mate, she was too annoying."Xavier, are you going to do nothing about our mate?" Red asked as Xavier approached the pool."Red, you know that I love her, and whatever I love, I won't let go easily, I will win her back"" You think making her jealous would work?" Red questioned, a hinge of doubt in his voice.
Chapter 26Making her jealous*Adriana stared blankly at nothing while different thoughts ran through her mind.She didn't want to see Xavier every day but she had to stay at moonstones town."I will stay back" she decided.She could avoid him at work and plan out how to get the moonstone."Really? That means we will be leaving without you?" Jeremy asked, his tone slightly sad."Of course, don't miss me too much" Adriana replied to him and he hugged her."I will miss you bestie""I might miss you too" Adriana replied and Jeremy pulled back from the hug."Might? You are so unloyal!""Surely, I will miss you and Laura so much but this is a golden deal. I bet the pay is going to be high"" Of course, I wonder why I wasn't picked, I am also strong" Jeremy huffed." But I am stronger"" You wish"They heard the sound of the car and Jeremy knew it was time for him to go."Keep
Chapter 27Making her jealous 2*Adriana felt her heart sink at the sight, then she felt her blood boil. She noticed what Emilia was wearing and she was pretty sure that Emilia had seduced him.Adriana frowned deeply and walked off into the kitchen, she wanted to believe that she had sorted out her feelings and that could only be true if she didn't wish she was the one being kissed by Xavier."Focus on the task at hand" she mumbled to herself and walked back to her lodge.*Xavier broke the kiss as soon as Adriana was gone and wiped his lips several but that single act was enough to encourage Emilia.Emilia smiled, touching her lips. He had just kissed her lips and that was a good sign for her, this meant that in a few weeks, Alpha Xavier would have fallen deeply for her.Emilia giggled and stood on her toes to try to kiss him again but Xavier pushed her away gently and walked off.Emilia looked on with pouted li
Chapter 28Are you jealous?*Adriana stared at the couple in front of her with fuelling anger towards them.They could act all lovely but why come into the company to act lovely and still they have to do it right in front of her."With all due respects boss, taking pictures is not part of my job" Adriana finally spoke up, her gaze on the floor."What insolence! Do you realize who you are refusing?! You are refusing Alpha Xavier and his mate!" Emilia blabbed at Adriana and Adriana so much wanted to tell Emilia that she very well knew that Emilia was a fake mate."I dare not refuse the high and honorable Alpha Xavier and his mate, the love of his life but this is...."Xavier could feel the jealousy in those words, the love of his life and he smirked inwardly."Didn't know making her jealous would be this easy Red"" Miss. Adriana. You are my personal assistant so definitely you are going to be breaking boundaries, this i
