Vince’s POV
I saw the face of almost every she-wolf present in the ceremony. But I didn’t have the courage to Ask any of them to act like my fake girlfriend or lover. The whole thing looked adequate, but when the time came to execute the same, I started acting up. I left the ceremony after serving food to all the Alpha Female and Beta Female. Some were good, but I hate their attitude.
So I decided to distance myself from the premises. “What are you doing here?” I heard Hailey’s voice when she found me alone, far away from the Place where the ceremony was held.
“Hailey. I don’t think I should go with all the things you explained. How about If I attend the Luna Ceremony And sulk in pain?” I murmured while deep down I was in pain with this idea.
“And why is that?” She narrowed her eyes.
“I can’t do this, Hailey...I can’t. I'm bad at acting,”I answered. “I don’t dare to ask any she-wolf to Pretend to be my fake girlfriend or lover. But I also can't deny the fact that I’m desperate to find one.”
“Why don’t you ask the girl standing behind you?” Hailey said, making my eyes popped out of The socket with a thought that someone is listening to a conversation.
Does God know what She would think about me? I turned around. The she-wolf about whom Hailey mentioned was right beside me, looking so stunned at my face. She looks so beautiful. She looks more than beautiful. I can’t even think of an adjective to describe her Beauty. She flashed me a brilliant smile that made my world turn upside down and every nerve in my body tingle.
“Ummm…” I prepared myself to ask.
“Can you pretend to be my fake girlfriend, Miss….?” I asked, mustering all the confidence I could manage and hoping to Moon goddess that my voice didn’t sound squeaky.
I knew she was an Omega for sure because I didn’t find her sitting in the chairs where Alpha females and Beta Females were seated. But I also knew that she was the most beautiful girl I had ever met.
“Crystal. Crystal Knight." She replied with a slight smile.
“Crystal.” Her name slipped from my mouth accidentally, and I saw her eye color changeda bit as if her wolf had come on the surface. “So, will you be my fake girlfriend, Crystal?” I waited for her answer, but it seemed like she was in deep thought.
I saw Hailey leaving, giving us privacy.
“I will pay you. And I'm sure that after that amount, you don’t have to work as an Omega for at least a few years.”
She chuckled and smiled. Awww! She looked so beautiful while smiling.
“I don’t think you can afford me, Handsome.” She said in a soft tone.
“Everything and everybody has a price. I mean, I am not insulting you in any way.” I said, refusing to back down. I don’t look that bad that even an Omega could easily reject me; who am I?
“True. Everything and everybody has a price, but I am not trading equipment, neither am equipment that needs to be traded.”
“I’m Alpha Damien’s Son. So, I have lots of money. I promise I will pay really good. You just have to act for one week, And all you have to do is that you have to work like an Alpha’s daughter, confident and strong. I will buy you costly clothes and shoes and everything you need.”
She raised a brow. “You are desperate, aren’t you?” I took a deep breath and stared back at her. But I didn’t say another word.
“Why all thing?” She asked softly.
“You wouldn’t believe it if I told you.” I said to her.
“Try me,” She illustrated with a wink.
“It’s a long story,” I announced.
“I‘m here until the ceremony ends. If I find your reason really genuinely then I will help you for sure.”
I sighed. “Okay, where do I start?”
“From the top?” She winked. And she flashed me that gorgeous smile.
“Okay. I‘m Alpha Damein’s Eldest son among all three. Technically, I had to become Alpha of this pack but I don’t know why I‘m not able to shift until now. I mean, I am 23 years old now. Until the day before yesterday, I had everything in my life, a loving mate I was in love with...the dream of becoming Alpha. My life was perfect, even though I had no wolf,” I continued.
“But the day before yesterday’s night, my father He announced that he would pass the Alpha title to Andrew, my younger brother, and notified me as an Omega. And then I found my mate sleeping with my own brother. Instead of feeling guilty, she Rejected me. And this was not the end; she spread the news that I was the one who rejected her. Everyone already believed her fake story without giving me a chance to justify myself. To cut a long story short, my world fell apart.” Again, I reminded myself about how sad my life was.
“I was at the lowest phase of my life. And then yesterday, Hailey informed me that my father had held the Luna Ceremony just a week after Andrew’s Alpha ceremony and commanded me to attend this ceremony and watch everything with my own eyes To make things worse, I have to keep a straight, brave face in front of my family and pack members. I‘m going to attend that ceremony.”
Crystal had a severe look on her face. She didn’t say anything, but I knew she understood how I
felt. I took another deep breath.
“I already start to dislike your father,” She hissed. “So, you want a fake girlfriend just to make your ex-Mate jealous?” She asked.
I’m not sure, but she felt hurt while reciting that; but Why will she?
“Hell, No.” I shook my head. “I don’t want her back. I want to show them that I have someone much better than Rachel, whom I love so much, and can’t keep my hand off her. I want to show Rachel that what she has lost.” I terminated my sad story and looked at her.
I saw that her expression was soft, and something else was there which I couldn’t figure out.
“Do you think I am capable of making your ex-mate feel that I’m way better than her?” She inquired softly.
I grinned when I realized that she was saying yes indirectly. “Needless to say, you are a thousand times sexy and beautiful than she is.” She chuckled at my comment.
“Now, listen to my first plan; I'm sure that you would have come here with some of Alpha’s daughters for sure. And generally, all the Alpha Female is friendly with her Omega. You have to talk with her and swap the role with her for just a week, you will have to act like an Alpha Female, and that Alpha female will have to work like an Omega.”
“Okay!”
“And in case your Alpha Female won’t agree, then I will make the Alpha Female of an unknown place, Just like Jennie made Aladdin a prince for Jasmine. In the same way, I will make you the Alpha Female, and no one will come to know about it.” I explained.
“First option is fine with me.”, She said calmly.
I looked at her and somehow her expression was
warm and genuine. It seemed that my story moved her, and she was helping me out to help me out. I‘m not expecting my second chance, mate, till soon, but the moon goddess is planning to bless me with a second chance, then I want someone like her in my life.
TBC
Crystal’s POV I couldn’t believe that I was helping him with his plan without letting him know I was his second chance mate. I felt like a high school teenager reeling with excitement. I didn’t know the mate Bonds would affect me this much. He got under my skin the minute I laid eyes on him. I couldn’t believe that someone bear to hurt my mate. He looked so kind, so vulnerable. He was trying his best to stay strong. He lost everything, but still, he wanted his pride back. He wanted to Show that he is way more potent than others, and I couldn’t believe what I was doing. If his story did not touch me, I would have laughed at the coincidence. He wanted me to portray Alpha Female, matching their confidence and attitude. He wanted me to look rich, gorgeous and beautiful so that he could redeem his dignity by showing me in front of everyone like a slap to the face to his ex-mate, even if he was pretending. Well, that would be very easy for me. Because basically, he wanted me to pretend.
Chapter 6 Vince’s POV Finally, I saw the owner of this voice. She was a breathtaking goddess dressed in a light blue Sexy color gown. I didn’t know why she colored her hair’s white? But it looked good on her. Her eyes are a shade of blue that matches her dress. I don’t know if she was using contacts before or now? The girl I was Looking at now was ten times classier than the Crystal I met an hour before. It was almost hard to believe that this was the same girl. “Hello, Mate. We met again.” She said and softly kissed my left cheek, giving me a side hug. Not bad. Is she portraying herself as my fake mate? “Hi, Crystal.” I tried hard to keep my voice steady. Moon goddess! How can a stranger affect me so much? I could see many of the alphas were not pleased with the thought that she was my mate, and I wondered why? My father had a cold expression on his face and somehow I knew He was biting his tongue to keep his thoughts from spilling out loud, which was painful. It is against
Crystal’s POV “Mate” Maya shouted in panic. “What happened Maya?” I asked in confusion. “Mate. Hurry up. Go near Mate.” She kept repeating the ‘mate’ word until we reach the packhouse. And the moment I saw guards were about to touch Vince so that they could take him to the dungeon. I couldn’t stop myself from calling him as the word—Mate. I thought Vince might believe that I‘m Royal and the only daughter of the Werewolves King, Alpha Logan Miller Knight, after hearing my conversion with his father, but he didn’t. In fact, he freaked out with the thought of getting caught. “Mate. Mate is nervous. Make him feel good. Maya said in an excited tone. I know my naughty wolf and her motive that where her thoughts were going. “But I don’t know how to do that?” “Say something nice and romantic.” She counselled. And truth to be told, I didn’t know what to say. “You are a fantastic warrior.” I said after thinking for a while I could hear that my wolf was mad at me for saying something lik
Vince’s POV The next morning, I found Crystal sleeping beside me peacefully. I smiled, thinking about last night. I tried to contain my laugh when I saw her; She looked so cute! She was negligibly snoring, mouth slightly opened, eyes lightly closed, and hopelessly tangled with me and the covers.I didn’t want her to wake her up. I tangled myself carefully and made my way to the washroom. After taking shower, I walked toward the kitchen to help my new Omega friends with breakfast. So many Alphas will be staying here, so there must be a lot of work for them. As guessed, Emma was struggling alone to prepare breakfast. “Need my help?” I asked, standing beside her. “Vince?” She was surprised to see me there. “What are you doing here? Don’t you know that you don’t have to work now after all you are a mate of….” “Cut the crap. I can’t relax in my room when my friend is working like a slave. I know you and all others wouldn’t have even slept last night and this arrangement will go the same
Vince’s POV “Hurry up; we both have to get cleaned and meet everyone at the table.” Crystal said, breaking the Kiss. “No...” I quickly shook my head. “No Alpha will like my presence over there. In fact, those alphas who are mated with Omegas don’t bring their mate at the table to save themselves from embarrassment in front of everyone.” “Who made these stupid and sick rules?” She spat in anger. I dragged her toward my room because I didn’t want anyone to hear our conversation. Once I made sure that the door is closed. I turned my head toward Crystal. “Werewolf King. Even His mate was Omega. That’s the reason he never takes her to any occasion.” I reasoned out. I wonder how come she doesn’t know anything about werewolves? “KING. NEVER. TOOK. QUEEN. TO. ANY. OCCASION. BECAUSE. SHE. USED. TO. STAY. SICK. MOST. OF. THE. TIME.” Crystal hissed, stressing at every word. “And he didn’t make these stupid rules.” “How to do—” “My parents are close friends of the Omegas working in the Kin
Crystal’s POV There is no way in hell I will risk my mate’s life. I won’t mind accepting him as a human all my life, but I won’t accept anything that could be painful for him. After breakfast, we went back to his room, he wanted to help his omega friends as usual, but I dragged him with me. “Why did you drag me here?” He whined. “Because I‘m acting as a Royal and Royal Lycans are ten times more possessive than Alpha Male. So, I've let you stay away from me for long.” I reasoned out, though it was the truth. Maya was practically nagging to my stay—with our mate. “Oh yes!” He muttered in understanding the situation. “Please tell our mate that we are his second chance mate.” Maya whined. “I can’t help you in playing this fake girlfriend thing,” “By the way, thank you, Crystal. You did something that no one had ever done for me. Not even my ex-mate, Rachel. You stood up for me. No one ever did. Not even my parents from the the moment when they figured it out that I don’t have a wol
Vince’s POV I smiled, looking at Crystal, or should I say Maya, who looked beautiful after her eyes turned golden. I love her casually more than when she wears heavy gowns and jewelry. “We are not taking any cars.” I reminded her when we were out of the packhouse. I knew many eyes were on Crystal/Maya when we came out, but her full attention was on me. She intertwined our hand and smiled brightly. “I know, babe,” she said before kissing me on my lips. We took a cab, and thankfully, the weather was perfect. I had planned to take her to the movies first. She queued for our tickets because the queue of ladies was less compared to man while I decided to buy us popcorn and cold drinks. While waiting for our order, I looked around and saw two guys standing in the corner looking at the queue. By observing them carefully, I could say that they were werewolves. I followed their eyes, and I Was surprised to see that they were on Crystal/Maya. Who are they? Why are they keeping an eye on
Crystal’s POV “WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU?” Andrew growled at Vince. “Didn’t you know that there are so many guests in the packhouse? You were supposed to make breakfast and lunch for them. But no! You were having fun while we were eating those shit which other Omegas cooked.” “It was not my responsibility to cook food. As always, Emma would have prepared the food.” “From now onwards, you will always cook food for us.” He ordered Vince, while my mate stood there, unaffected. Andrew’s Alpha Aura was not affecting him, he simply shrugged his shoulder after listening to Andrew’s words. All the wolves were looking at my mate angrily. I can’t stand watching all this. I started releasing my Alpha Aura, making every wolf shudder in fear. “Guess what? Kiss my ass.” Vince said calmly. “I don’t consider you as my Alpha nor your chosen mate as Luna, so I will be leaving this pack after Luna Ceremony.” “Do you think you can survive without a pack?” I saw getting discouraged a little. I quickly
