All Chapters of Fake vs Fated : Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

ANNALISE… A wave of fear runs through me as I bring my hand up and for the first time since I woke, I could actually feel the pain of what was done to my neck and all the minor cuts and scrapes over my body. Looking at and slightly touching the black, purple and yellow bruise, I am surprised that he didn’t actually kill me. I wonder why he didn't kill me. A flash of memory from last night then passes before my eyes and a feeling of wanting to die settles uneasily in my stomach. I had actually wanted him to kill me. At that moment, for some reason, I had wanted him to tighten his grip enough to kill me. However, he didn’t. Instead, he had brought me back to the cabin he was staying in. Maybe he was waiting for the morning. Another wave of fear goes through me as he is still out there and if I am still in here when he wakes, I am required to see to his needs once more. I look around the room and spot the towel. I grab it and wrap it around my body. I step over to the door and hesitat

NICOLAS…I cut the link with her without saying anything more. She is right. I need Annalise to want me, to want the mate mark and bond with me as much as I want it with her. I sigh as I enter my office and sit down in my chair. I rub my face and then lean forward as I reach over and pick up the receiver on the phone. I press the number 3 hold button and say,“Alpha Michael, what can I do for you?” ‘“Nothing. I just rang to inform you that you didn’t need to return Luna Annalise to my pack as Beta Angus has been removed from his rank and the pack. You are free, as far as I am concerned, to keep her.” I knew that he had let me leave his territory with her and to know that he will back me in something like that warrants me to sit down with him and set up a meeting to sign an alliance with his pack. I will get Douglas to set that up at another time.“Thank you, Alpha Michael.

NICOLAS… As I take Katreena into my private library, I quickly link with Randolf, "Randolf?" "Yes, Alpha." "Tomorrow morning, Annalise is to join in with the staff training, and then I want you to give her some one-on-one training. She is to be our Luna. She needs to be able to defend herself." "Yes, Alpha." I then cut the link as I walk over to the small tea table in the reading alcove. I set Katreena’s plate down first and then wait for her to sit as I put my plate down and then join her. Where I then wait for her to start eating before starting to eat mine. She swallows a bit of something and then says, “She seemed very beautiful, and from what I witnessed in that room, are you sure that you need my help?” “I had caught her off guard…” “Okay, so what is the story, then?” “She was the Luna of the Lupin Nightstalker pack, however, it works out that the Alpha wasn’t her actu

ANNALISE… The fire from his hand spreads up my arm and settles not only in my chest but lower in my core. It makes me want more, as he seems to be the only male that can touch me without causing pain and after having pain always lingering just under my skin, it feels addictive. I take a sharp breath in as the fire spreads following the movement of his hand, I can’t seem to find my voice and I am startled when I hear someone take a sharp breath on the other side of me and I am reminded that the Alpha isn’t the only one in the room. I quickly step back and away from his touch as I stammer, “I… I’m s… sorry… I… I…” I quickly bow my head to the Alpha and then his mistress before backing up and then turning and walking quickly out of the room. Stupid, stupid. I feel so stupid, letting that strange feeling take over. I should have been in and out with their plates. I move quickly down the hall, heading for the servant stairs Victoria had shown me ye

NICOLAS… “No. She didn’t. I realised that she didn’t know when he brought her into the hospital after giving her the medical mix I gave him to terminate it. She didn’t know why she was in so much pain where she would have if she had consented to the termination.”I think about her explanation for a while as we spar back and forth. I must admit, for a doctor, she knows how to fight. Most give up their training once they have settled into their chosen profession. After I have gone over everything, I sigh, now knowing that she didn’t agree to the termination, that she didn’t consciously allow them to kill my pup.When we finished our sparring, I head back into the packhouse and into my office. I have a quick shower in the private bathroom I have behind a hidden door within my office and then get dressed in a casual suit for the meetings I needed to do over the rest of the day.
