All Chapters of Faking the Mate Bond: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

[Diana’s POV]Kazeal stopped playing. Parting the flute from his lips, he opened his eyes and looked at me.“Happy birthday, Messiah,” he said, freezing me under the scrutiny of his silver eyes.But those eyes didn’t scare me anymore.“This was the emptiest birthday wish I have received today. Such words don’t suit the mouth of the person who would have prayed more than me that I was never born. You would be the last person to be ‘happy’ on my birthday.”“Can’t deny that,” Kazeal said plainly.“How the hell did you even enter my pack?” I glared at him.He glanced over my shoulder.I looked back just to see Willa coming our way. There it was. The answer to my question. She helped him get in, which means father might not be aware of his presence in the pack.“Honey… I brought the Saint here…”“I should have known,” I chuckled sardonically at her. “I am sure father isn’t aware of all this, right?”“Honeybee, it’s not what you…”“For God’s sake, just shut up! You are still the same old yo

[Zephyr’s POV] “Look who is here,” Aera said. “You said you weren’t interested in this party. What brings you here now? As happy as I am to see you here, it’s not safe for you to be here.” “Hey, come on! We can protect our alpha, that’s what gammas are for. It’s a good thing he is finally trying to enjoy life a little and not just cooped up in his work and bedroom, you know,” Asashi said. “We have got all the deadly varieties in the party tonight.” “I am not here for them. They are your business. Don’t get so distracted that you lose sight of what’s important.” I said. “Yes, alpha. We will. But how do you know your father will send assassins disguised as courtesans?” Aera asked. “Because he is a hungry dog right now. He will catch every bait I throw at him. Monitor the courtesans who have come from east and west closely,” I said. “East is the Wenos pack and West is the Saturna pack. You doubt Saturna packs as well? Even though we have an ally there?” Asashi asked. “Allies are mo

[Diana’s POV] “Were there any witnesses to your marriage?” An elder asked. I stood on the same landing of the courtroom once again from where I had witnessed the massacre. The only difference was Zephyr wasn’t standing behind me. He was sitting on the alpha’s throne right before my eyes as I gave the proof of our marriage to the court. “Yes, my father. Alpha Urza,” I said. “He couldn’t be here himself. This is the letter from him.” I gave it to the soldier who took the letter to the panel of elders. “Did Alpha Urza see Alpha Zephyr sign the marriage contract?” Janus asked, and I looked at him. I didn’t even feel betrayed now. I knew Janus was speaking, but they were all Zephyr’s words. He didn’t want me there. “No,” I said, trying to keep a poker face. “Then how can the court attest that these are Alpha Zephyr’s signature?” Janus asked. I seriously couldn’t believe Janus, my best friend, was doing this to me. If anything, he was one of the witnesses of our marriage as well, but

[Zephyr’s POV] I turned to see Vera tense up her body and Janus looking at her with a strained expression. I walked near Vera and picked up the file before her. ‘So, it was you?’ I glared at her. ‘I am sorry, alpha. She casually asked about your schedule. I never thought she’d actually come here.’ I exhaled, putting the file back on the shelf. She hadn’t even established herself as the luna yet and she was already turning my people against me. Vera had been guilty about hiding the truth from Diana, and I am sure Diana used her guilt to get the private information out of her. I made Vera her lady-in-waiting because Vera was strong and could protect Diana. Above all, I thought Diana would be comfortable around her since they have been together for years, but maybe I shouldn’t have done that. ‘She is here to stop me. Nothing she says or does is for emotional reasons and even if it is, you are not allowed to give my schedule or personal details like these to her. Do you understand

[Diana’s POV] Archer became invisible the moment we teleported to the Wenos pack. He was probably around us. I walked onto the Juliet balcony attached to the room. The rock garden’s still the same. Devon liked collecting rocks and crystals. So the plants in his garden were also the ones that grew only on rocky terrains. This garden had rocks and crystals found all over the world. We often strolled in this garden in the evening. He often showed me how the rocks and crystals changed their colors in various phases of the day. He used to say that when something as solid as rock changes in various phases of a day, how could we remain the same in the various phases of our lives? He found his inspiration to live from rocks which were most probably the most lifeless things. I often wondered in the past if that was the reason Devon had a stony face all the time. I smiled faintly at the nostalgia liberating in my chest. But even the most lifeless rocks could come alive when they were put
