Chapter 24
Heartbreak*"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
Chapter 29I like you better*Adriana could feel her heart thumping, not just because of the question but also because of how close he was to her.She could feel her female hormones respond to even his voice. She knew he had his effects on her, a whole lot of effects."I asked you a question Adriana or do you want me to.... To find that out myself?" Xavier asked, his hands caressing her face slowly before tucking strands of hair behind her ears.Even such little acts from Xavier were making Adriana lose it gradually, she loved how gently his fingers grazed her skin but she knew this was a bit right, he was the enemy's son, her prime target as a replacement for the death of her brother."B... Boss, please ask questions only related to business and please address me formally too" she said, finally pushing him off her."Okay, Miss Adriana. As a new employee, I gave you such a simple task, take pictures and all you could do is take your
Chapter 30*Adriana removed the stressful heels and threw them to a side of the room."That arrogant playboy!"She fumbled with pulling off the clothes and eventually did so.Adriana stepped into the shower."That playboy! Asked me to kiss him and still yet tells that Emilia he likes her better" she grumbled out loud." This sounds to me like you are jealous, are you?" Whix asked." Of course not" Adriana replied quickly." C'mon, it's normal to be jealous. After all, he once had your heart or maybe he still has...."" He does not! I have cut off all ties with him Whix. He has no place in my heart. I only care about Aunty Sarah, the coven and you" Adriana replied." It's so nice to hear such a caring sentence from you"" I have always been caring" Adriana chuckled.*" Really? You like me?" Emilia asked, grinning widely." Of course I do but right now I am tired and I need to rest.
Chapter 31The heat*Immediately Xavier was gone, the workers of the promotion department gossiped amongst themselves."Do you think the boss had eyes on the girl?"" Of course he has, why else would he scold us for her?"" But he had a mate already"" It does not matter. Boss is rich, he is handsome, he can take her as a side chick, I only wished I could be taken as the side chick also"" Silly you"*Xavier saw Adriana staring at the cups of each person's orders in front of her.He could guess that she was thinking of how she was going to carry it once.Xavier didn't want to go out to help her, she wouldn't come back to him if she doesn't get jealous enough.He spotted two young boys and waved them to come."You see that lady there, help her with the things she wanna carry. Here you go" Xavier said and handed the boy a bundle of money."Just.... Just to help her?" The both of them a
Episode 32Emilia's dirty little secret*Xavier groaned seeing the manager. He slowly and hesitantly let go of Adriana.Adriana moved backwards and smoothened out her dress, wiping her lips like she didn't want the kiss.She sent him a hard glare, huffed, and walked out."I am sorry for interrupting" the manager apologized as Xavier took his seat.Xavier could not understand why things had to be foiled just when he had Adriana already."You ruined things already""But boss, it's the heat period and you now have a mate, why don't you spend it with your mate instead?"Xavier almost blurted that he was spending it with his mate before he interrupted but he bit his lips."I... Just forget about it"*Adriana just couldn't believe how easily she had melted in front of him.She wanted to scold and nag at herself for drowning in his kisses, she wanted to yell at herself for still yet loving his tou
