Faking the Mate Bond 40. In my voids
[Diana’s POV] (((FLASHBACK))) “Do you know what the real tragedy is, Dia?” Mask asked, cradling my fingers in his hands. My head rested over his chest as I lay on him, skin to skin. A thin blanket covered us not to keep us warm, but to help us cool down from the high of our union. “What?” I mumbled against his collarbone as I lifted my gaze to meet his. Honestly, losing my virginity to him was the most bittersweet experience. Today, he didn’t play any games, we just went for it. And I was prepared both mentally and physically for it. Yet he took his time preparing me and allowed me to adjust accordingly. He kept asking if I was ok, if I liked it, if I felt any discomfort. Those little gestures made me feel like it wasn’t the kind of lovemaking one would expect in a brothel or between a courtesan and a client. “That I only have one life, one heart and one soul to give to you,” he said. I lowered my gaze. I was trying to come down from the high, but he mercilessly took me high
Faking the Mate Bond 41. Teasing him
[Diana’s POV]Several things had changed ever since I woke up.Vera was on leave and instead of another maid, I got a full-time butler. Since it was my father’s order, I couldn’t do anything about it either.My bodyguard had turned into my butler. From my food, to my shoes, to my perfume, and even the opening and closing of the windows and door in my room was taken care of by Zephyr.He was mysteriously allowed to stay in my room even at night like an owl on watch, and it was creepy. I’d rather have walls staring at me than a living person.Zephyr was with me every second of my day and night. He wouldn’t let me off his eyes even for a minute… “Are you coming in the bathroom with me as well?” I asked, annoyingly.“No, princess. But I am outside. You have the watch on your hand, right?” He showed me the watch he wore on his left wrist. “They are both connected. So if you sense even a slight discomfort, just hit the button. What wall, what door, I will cross them all and come right at
Faking the Mate Bond 42. I am yours
[Diana’s POV]I was expecting Zephyr to be standing by my car when I left the academy, but he wasn’t.I got in the car and looked around in the parking area.“Why is he not here?”‘Girl, are you serious?’ I could feel Kiera making that weirdest face. ‘You literally left him in the palace and asked him to not follow you here. Why are you disappointed? That poor bodyguard is just following your orders.’ she sang.I frowned and looked through the windshield, holding the steering wheel.‘He is around. You are pissed. He isn’t around. You are pissed. What do you want?’ Kiera kept yapping while I used her vision to see through the other vehicles.I rolled the glass down, allowing the air in my car, brimming it in my lungs. He wasn’t there.“I want him,” I mumbled.‘Thee finally speak the truth from thy tongue,’ Kiera said.“Oh, god! Not you too. Janus and Archer were enough for such complicated language and no! I don’t want him like that. I want him to take me shopping! I can’t go to the ma
Faking the Mate Bond 43. First life-1
[Zephyr’s POV] (Reader’s discretion is advised. Proceed with caution.) (Trigger warnings: Sexual assault, graphic violence, child trafficking, mention of drug abuse.) * *** ***** *** * I was a one-night mistake. An unwanted illegitimate child of one of the strongest alphas. A son of a mother who didn’t want to give me up, so she fought the world just to keep me safe. And that was how she lost her life — trying to save me from the men that my father sent to kill me. My mother, Ilana Darkken, was once a commander of the Jupitus pack’s magic defence. She was beautiful, bold and one of the strongest witches of all time. A woman too feral to be bound, but too out of reach to be desired by all. And my illegitimate father, Vidar Jupitus, the alpha of the Jupitus pack, was one such coward who desired the storm but was too weak to take responsibility for the impact. He slept with my mother a day before his marriage with his legal wife and the current luna of the Jupitus pack, Nest

[Zephyr’s POV]Urza? Hidden pack?What is he talking about? What the heck is the Hidden pack now?“He is… Archer Lakin.” Alpha Urza said.“Archer Lakin?” I have heard that name before. Archer cautiously stepped closer to me. “I was your mother’s classmate in the magic defence academy. We were… friends.” Archer said.I remember. My mother often talked about this man named Archer Lakin.‘And there was also this extremely introverted boy who was always dug into books, burying himself with words in his grave of solitude. Yet somehow when I talked to him for the first time, he was the warmest person I’d ever known. And then we formed this literary club where we talked about literature, longing, magic and love. Archer Lakin and there were others too, but he stayed with me for the longest. I think some people just need someone else to break down the walls, and behind those walls, they are the warmest and most comforting people. I wonder where he is now and what he is doing? I wonder if he
Faking the Mate Bond 45. Closeness
[Diana’s POV]Zephyr stood at the entrance of the fitting hall of a vintage styled gown store in the mall.His back faced the fitting hall as the slightly parted black curtains hid and revealed his figure.A beautiful violin concerto was playing on the record subtly while I tried on various gowns. None of them suited my taste because I wasn’t paying attention to any of them. My eyes involuntarily went to the reflection of Zephyr’s figure in the floor to ceiling mirror before me.Zephyr hadn’t said a word since that time in the parking lot. It’s already been two hours, and he wasn’t even complaining about why I was taking so long shopping. Not that he was in a position to complain.He is my bodyguard, it’s his job. Not like we are on a date or something that he’d care about in time. I entered the changing room and put on a corset boned, sleeveless, sheer black gown. It hid my breasts and body below my hips. The material from below my breasts to waist was a black net with corset bones

[Zephyr’s POV]“No.” Diana said, looking at the nth three piece slim fit suit I had put on. “Is it not to your taste again? I think it’s pretty cool. It’s blue and perfect fit,” I asked, fixing the collar of my suit.She scanned my body, from my shoes to my hair. “No, try this one,” she shoved a black double breasted suit against my chest. “Don’t look at me like that. Go on, try it.”“Yes, princess.” I held the hanger, slid the black curtain over and entered the fitting room.I looked at myself in the mirror as I unbuttoned my shirt.“Are you done, Zeph?” Diana called from outside the curtain.“Not yet…”She slid the curtain and entered the small fitting room.“Princess?”“Shhhh…” she put her index finger on her lips.“What’s wrong?” I whispered. That room was big enough for one man to change without hitting his knees and elbows, but not big enough for two people.She gestured for me to stay quiet.“Make sure you maintain yourself elegantly. No matter the cost, you should look the b
Faking the Mate Bond 47. The prom
[Zephyr’s POV]The prom night.“Do I look ok?” I had asked Archer to help me dress up.“You look marvellous,” he said, fixing my crooked tie. “Just perfect.”“Thank you,” I said.In this second life, one thing that I regret losing is the bonding I had with Archer. For me he still meant a lot, but for him… I was just Ilana’s son. Although there was no difference between his warmth, yet I could feel that our bonding was no longer as strong as it used to be.In this life I had lost my mana genes, the wizard part of me and that is why Archer and alpha Urza had their doubts when I told them I was Ilana’s son, the kid they had been searching for. That is why they went to Goredom to confirm my identity.“So, in your previous life I found you?” Archer asked.I nodded then looked at the floor.“How exactly did we meet?” He asked.“You saved me.” I said.“Is that so? Pardon me for asking such an insensitive question, kid. But were we close?”I smiled faintly as I looked into his eyes. “You were
