My Fake Alpha Boyfriend 42. Find the Truth
RyderI try to keep my rage under control as I stare at the man in front of me. He is grinning as if he finds my anger amusing."Alexie, is it?" I ask with a tight jaw."Yes, that would be my name," the prisoner says."Care to elaborate what the fuck you're talking about?" I bark.Alexei's grin falters, and he seems to sense the seriousness in my tone. "I'm just saying that Luna here used to be quite the cook. I remember her making some amazing meals for her family," he says, his voice slightly lower.I shoot a glance at Ivy, who seems just as confused as I am."I have never seen this man in my entire life!" Ivy says quickly.I believe her. This man must be deranged."She is right, Alexei. You must be mistaken," I say firmly.Alexei gazes into my eyes. "There is no mistake. I would recognize her anywhere.""You recognize Ivy?" I raise my eyebrows."Ivy?" Confusion spreads all over Alexei's face. "Who is Ivy?"I look at Ivy, unsure of what to say next. "Ivy, my mate?" I say irritably.

IvyI can't believe it. I'm off to solve the mystery of my own death. How does this work!?"Are you sure you want to do this?" Ryder asks me as we prepare to follow Alexei to his old pack house."Yes, I'm sure. What else do you suggest we do? Aren't you curious to know more about this Esther business?" I raise an eyebrow."I am," Ryder admits. "But I am not buying all that bullshit about you dying. How can you be a dead girl?""That's what we are about to find out," I say. I can hardly contain my excitement. Ryder sighs and shakes his head, clearly still struggling to grasp the situation. "Alright, Ivy. I will support you on this, but please promise me that you won't make any rash decisions without me. We don't know what we're getting into, and I can't bear the thought of losing you."I reach out and take Ryder's hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze. "I promise, Ryder. Our safety comes first. We'll be cautious and vigilant throughout this journey. We're in this together, remember?"R
My Fake Alpha Boyfriend 44. Where is He?
IvyLucky for us, Alpha Markus is still alive."My father? Why do you need to see him?" Seraphina looks at us with suspicion in her eyes.At first, she is thrilled to see Ryder, but her smile falters once she realizes he is mated to me.Oops, sorry, Seraphina, I guess I stole your man.I exchange a quick glance with Ryder, realizing the tension in the room. "Seraphina, this is really important," I begin, trying to ease the atmosphere.""Something is weird going on, and it seems your father knows Esther, who is connected to Ivy somehow," Ryder chimes in.Seraphina's gaze softens slightly as she listens, her curiosity piqued. "Esther? That name brings back memories," she says, her voice tinged with nostalgia. "She was my mother's best friend. But she died ten years ago. What does she have to do with you?"I take a deep breath, preparing to share our story. "According to Alexei, Esther's spirit was reborn in me. He claims that I am Esther, living a new life as Ivy, without any recollecti

Ivy"I need to finish reading Esther's diary," I tell Ryder.Ryder nods in understanding. "Of course, Ivy. Esther's diary might hold more clues and insights to help us find her son."As soon as we get home, black smoke surrounds us, and then Phoenix materializes.Ryder makes a disgusted face. "It's you. We don't have time for you right now. We are too busy trying to figure out who killed Ivy."Phoenix's eyes shoot up to his forehead. "Who killed Ivy? What the hell are you talking about?""I was dead and reborn again," I say as if that explains everything. "Oh, okay," Phoenix says. "Well, what about Eve? What did you find out about her?" That's right. I forgot all about Eve with all this excitement. "She is scared of you because you are a moron," Ryder chimes in.Phoenix shoots him a glare. "Did you tell her I really really like her and I'd never hurt her?""She said she will give you another chance if you apologize for scaring her last time," I say.Phoenix's eyes light up. "That's

RyderAlexei gives us a blank stare at first, but then his eyes flicker in acknowledgment. "Alice? I know Alice. What does she have to do with anything? She was just a quiet omega who was hired to watch over Esther," Alexei says."She has Esther's son. We need to find her so we can ask him about her," Ivy chimes in."He won't know anything. He was too young when Esther died," Alexei says, shaking his head."But Alice will. Tell us where she is," I demand. Alexei shrugs. "I don't know. My guess is that she went to hide in another pack."This is hopeless. We will never find her this way. Ivy turns to me, a glimmer of determination in her eyes. "We can't give up just yet. Maybe there are other pack members who might have more information about Alice's whereabouts or any clues that could help us find her."Alexei snorts. "Hah! Good luck trying to get them to talk while you held them prisoners.""We spoke to Alpha Markus," Ivy says.Alexei's expression changes from carefree to angry at
My Fake Alpha Boyfriend 47. Another Nonsense
Ivy"I will help, but you will have to let me out of these chains and out of this dungeon," Alexei demands. Ryder grunts disapprovingly, but I smile. "Yes, of course. You can't help us confined like this."Ryder hesitates for a moment, his eyes narrowing with caution. "You're lucky I'm willing to give you this chance," Ryder grumbles but proceeds to unlock the chains.Alexei rubs his wrists, his gratitude mixed with a hint of defiance. "I won't let you down. I'll do whatever it takes to find Alice and bring justice to Esther's memory.""Where do we start?" I ask. "Alice was resourceful. If she's hiding within another pack, she's likely using an alias. I know some contacts who might have information about her whereabouts. We can start there," Alexei suggests.Ryder eyes Alexei cautiously but remains silent, acknowledging that we need him."Lead the way," I say, my gaze steady as I look at Alexei. "We're counting on you to help us find Alice."Alexei nods. "I know a few contacts who m

Ivy"Why do you all look so surprised? All of your senses are quite keen since you are werewolves, no?" Renard winks."Yeah, we can track pretty well, but we can't sniff out a missing person out of thin air," Ryder comments."And that's why it's a special talent for Renard," Alexei chimes in.Renard chuckles at Ryder's remark, his amusement evident. "Indeed, werewolves have heightened senses, but my talent goes beyond that.""How so?" Ryder looks at him curiously."I can look into people's minds and see their memories. Maybe I can see a memory about Alice and locate her scent," Renard says."How are you supposed to do that? Oh, Alexei! You knew Alice, right? Renard can look into your memory!" I exclaim."Eh, not really. I saw her once or twice. It's not like she belonged to my pack," Alexei says, shrugging.I groan. "Then how is he supposed to...""Hold on," Ryder interrupts me. "We don't have to ask anyone, Ivy. You are Esther."I look at him with confusion. "Huh?""You are Esther, r
My Fake Alpha Boyfriend 49. You are not Her
IvyWe are back on our journey again. But this time, we are not searching blindly, at least. The details we've uncovered about the secluded cabin and Esther's son's face guide me toward him. We will see what happens next.Renard leads the way, his heightened senses guiding us through the dense forest. Finally, after what feels like an eternity, we catch a glimpse of the cabin among the towering trees.My heartbeat quickens. Is this it? Will I finally learn everything about my former self? Ryder's voice breaks through the silence, his words reassuring. "This is it, Ivy. It's time to find out."I draw in a deep breath, steadying myself for what's to come. The cabin stands before us, a silent witness to the mysteries hidden within its walls."I don't know how to feel about this," I say with a shaky voice. I place my palm on the door. My head is suddenly spinning, and the ground underneath me feels unsteady.I feel arms wrapping around my waist and pulling me into an embrace. Warm breat

The next few days went by fast. I didn't stick around to find out how Eloise's date went with that jerk Calvin. All I did was stay in the woods and mope. "What is wrong with you?" Kaelan asked as he couldn't take my sour mood anymore. "None of your business," I bark. "It is my business when you can't even help me with this simple task," he says irritably. I glare at him and reluctantly agree to help. We walked through the woods, looking for whatever Kaelan thought we needed to find. Suddenly, I heard a sound that made me jump, and I spun around to see what it was. A group of hunters with guns were coming our way. I quickly grabbed Kaelan's arm and pulled him behind a large tree. We wait there, trying to keep quiet, but it doesn't seem to be enough. One of the hunters calls out, asking if anyone is there. We stay motionless. "Why can't we fight them?" I whisper. "We are outnumbered," he says. "But those look like humans, and we are werewolves. Surely, we are stronger than them!"

As the day unfolds, I find myself caught up in helping Eloise choose an outfit for her date with Calvin. Eloise drags me from store to store, trying on various outfits while seeking my input.This is the worst thing that has happened to me!"Lucian, what do you think of this dress?" she asks, holding up a flowy, black dress against herself.I study it for a moment. "It's nice, I guess. But isn't it a bit too..."Eloise arches her brows. "A bit too...what?""A bit like you are going to a funeral wearing that. Also, it seems like the wrong size for you," I say.Eloise bursts into laughter at my blunt response. "Wow, Lucian, you sure know how to be brutally honest."I shrug, feeling a bit uncomfortable being dragged into this situation. "Hey, you asked for my opinion.""What do you mean it's the wrong size? It feels perfectly fine to me," she says as she tugs at the fabric."It's too big for your body. You look like you are wearing a potato sack," I declare.Eloise winces. "I hate tight

"Hah, what? Are you asking me out?" Eloise exclaims, her eyes glinting with amusement."Yes. You are cute and just my type, so why not?" he smirks slyly.Wow, this boy works fast."Um...yeah, okay, but no thanks. I don't date wolves," Eloise says and pulls on my sleeve, motioning me to follow her."No, wait. Can I speak to you in private?" Calvin pleads.Eloise looks at me as if she is unsure about this. "You don't have to go with him if you don't want to, Eloise," I say quickly. Not like I want this loser to go out with Eloise, anyway.But she shrugs and nods in agreement. "Yeah, sure. Let's go talk in private," she says to Calvin, then walks out with him.I stand there, feeling confused. I wonder what Calvin would tell her to convince her to date him. Even I couldn't convince this girl, and we actually mated!As I watch Eloise and Calvin walk away to have their private conversation, I can't help but feel a mix of emotions. Confusion, concern, and even a tinge of jealousy all swirl w

I will be forever alone, won't I?"You won't be forever alone. Stop being so dramatic," Eloise scoffs at me.How does she know what I'm thinking? Did I say it out loud?"Did you just hear my inner monologue?" I snarl.Eloise looks startled. "What? No way. Maybe we share a special connection because of our bond now.""Whatever. But I am telling you. Scarlett despises me," I grumble as the conversation with her reruns through my mind."Despise is a strong word, pal. She doesn't feel that way about you!" Eloise assures me."How can you be sure?" I challenge her.She suddenly grabs my chin and forces my gaze to hers. "How can anyone not love you? You are downright adorable!""I am not fucking adorable, woman," I snapped back, my alpha instincts clashing with the unexpected compliment. "I'm an alpha wolf with extraordinary power!" I reminded her, my tone a mixture of defiance and self-assertion."Hurr derr. Well, you should try to talk to her again. Bring out the charm," she says.I groan.

'Are you going to just sit here and mope all day?' my wolf scolds me."She rejected me. I can't believe it," I reply, shaking my head. The first time I mate with someone, and she rejects me? What kind of a game is moon goddess playing right now?'Oh, get over it, Lucian. It's not the end of the world. She wasn't even your real mate, so forget her,' he says.But I can't. I can't just forget her. Her scent is still lingering on my skin after we made love. I need to find her again tomorrow!I decide to sleep off my misery for the night and start fresh in the morning. I plan to hunt her down and claim her back again. She can't just use my body and then dismiss me!The next morning, I set off to find Eloise. I know that foxes usually live near water sources, so I start my search there. As I walk through the forest, I look for any signs of her presence. Her scent is still strongly ingrained in my memory, and it helps guide me in the right direction. Eventually, I find a huge fox den by th

"I will mate with you just this once," I say softly, brushing my fingers against her cheek.A smile spread across her face, but I can tell she is hesitating. "You will? Really?""Yes," I say, my voice shaking. "But I have to tell you something. I've never done this before." My teeth bite into my lip as the fear of the unknown creeps up inside me."Me too. This is my first time too," she whispers.I can feel the heat radiating from her body as she presses her wet body against me.I reach out to hold her close. Then the reality of my situation hits me like a freight train. What exactly am I supposed to do now?I roll her onto her back and lock my gaze on her wide brown eyes. She gasps in shock as I hover above her, my intensity radiating through me like a burning wildfire."I need to touch you more," I husk."What do you mean? Just get in there," she responds, her eyes smoky and distant.'Just get in there? She is quite the romantic,' my wolf teases me.I roll my eyes. This girl is som

What the heck is going on?I grumble as I attempt to shove Eloise away from me. "Get off of me! What are you thinking, vixen?" I screech."You smell...heavenly. I need you so badly," she purrs in a sultry voice.Huh?"What are you on?" I ask as I stare into her glassy eyes. They are cloudy, as if she is on drugs.She claws at my chest. "You are so beautiful. Take me now, wolfboy," she says."Is this a joke? You are not funny," I say irritably.She takes her blanket off and tosses it away.Whoa...I stare at her naked body as she straddles me. I was right about her having a boyish figure, but there is a certain allure to it.Her small, perky breasts contrast with the rest of her boyish shape, yet it only adds to her sultry appeal. I shake my head, trying to snap out of it. I can't get distracted by her body while she is assaulting me!She grinds against me and I feel myself getting hard. Oh, no, my body is betraying me. "Yo...stop this now," I bark."Ohh… is that the legendary Alpha di

The motherfucking fox won't stop peeing on me! I watch in horror as he relieves himself on my bark for the second time and then kicks some dirt.I have had it!I seriously have had it!I need to shift back before he runs away and I get the chance to kick this fox's ass!I concentrate hard, drawing on the inner strength that I have cultivated over the years. Sometimes I am able to shift back faster if I really concentrate."You can do this, Lucian. You have the power to shift back to human. You don't want to be a stupid tree anymore, so shift!" I give myself a pep talk with my conscious. Come on, work!As I close my eyes to focus, I feel a strange energy rising within me. It's as if the whole forest is responding to my call. Suddenly, I am engulfed in a warm glow that spreads throughout my entire being. I can feel the bark on my skin begin to soften and crackle as I shrink down to my human size.When I open my eyes, I am no longer a tree, but my human self. The fox looks at me in shock
My Fake Alpha Boyfriend Bonus Short Story: Lucian pt. 3
Okay, it's time for attempt number two. I had the chance to inhale the girl's scent more, so now I can trace her back to her packhouse. And that is exactly what I intend to do.She called me weird and ran away from me, but that doesn't mean I should give up on her entirely!I trace her scent all the way to a territory that belongs to the Silverwood Pack. I heard the Alpha of this pack is friendly, so I wasn't too worried. I walked inside the gate with my shoulders straight, and head held high.The security guard there looks at me suspiciously. "Who are you?" he asks before letting me in."I am Lucian. I belong to Ashwood pack," I tell him."What brings you here, Lucian of the Ashwood pack?" he asks."I am looking for a lovely girl. She has long brown hair and beautiful green eyes," I say enthusiastically."Ah, you are looking for Scarlett, the Beta's daughter," he says.Scarlett...even her name is sexy. "Yes. Do you know where I can find her?" I ask.The security guard eyes me warily,
