All Chapters of The Badboy Bully Is My Alpha Mate: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Skylar’s POVI couldn't quite grasp what Cassie was trying to achieve back there in the cafeteria. If I didn’t know better, I’d think she was joking, but there was a look in her eyes, one I recognized from when I looked at Ash—desire and something darker.It was clear she was hung up on him, but there was something else that bothered me. The way she looked at me had a hidden hostility that made me uncomfortable, even though I tried to ignore it.I had to leave the cafeteria to give them space, but I couldn't stop wondering what they were discussing. I suspected Cassie was going to ask Ash to the Moon Ball, but I didn't know what his answer would be.Ash and Cassie had always been friends since the beginning. I had no idea if he harbored any feelings for her. I felt like this was a chess game with no pieces to play with. My fate was entirely dependent on Ash’s decision.As I walked down the hallway, I saw a familiar figure leaning against a row of lockers. It was Sage.“Well, hello, bu

Sage POVI watched as she struggled to decide on my offer.“I just want to avoid any problems for my parents. And if this would bring problems-““It won’t.” I encouraged.I could tell that she didn’t believe me.“How about we tell him then that we are fated mates?”Her eyes widened in shock. “What?”“No guy would want to be over a girl that is fated to another. Ash is no exception.”She grew quiet in deliberation. “But that is lying?”“You were lying about your relationship with Ash. It’s not different.”She still seemed to be deliberating. “Come on, buttercup. You know this is a good plan.”She sighed. “Alright. But how do we convince him of that? I haven’t gotten my wolf. And Ash knows this.”“That doesn’t affect being mated.”“Oh.”“Don’t worry about it. Ash would buy it. Trust me.”She let out a little smile. “Thanks.”“Does this mean that you would become my girlfriend?”“I don’t want to be your girlfriend under these circumstances. But I can be your fake girlfriend.”“And why i

Skylar POVSunday was one of those days I spent with my family. And that was what I did.After the encounter of sage coming to my home.My parents had been extremely made. But once they realized that he wouldn’t cause me any trouble.They warmed up to him. And now I didn’t have to sneak to see me. He came freely to the house. And my parents treated him like their literal son.Apparently my father knew sage’s father.As they had Both attended high school together. And sage had proposed that my father would meet with his father.Which they did. It was a beautiful union. And I was glad that it happened.It even made me and sage extremely close.Though our parents thought we were dating, we didn’t bother to clarify it.Cause we thought if Ash had to believe it. Then our parents are the best bets of making him believe it.Ever since things ended between me and Ash. I had been extremely sad. I hadn’t realized how much I had loved him till we had stopped talking.The last time we spoke was

Skylar’s POVThe hum of the radio was the only sound that punctuated the heavy silence in the car. My mind was a whirlwind of thoughts, tangled and disoriented. I rested my head against the cool window, watching the trees pass by in a blur of green. The landscape outside seemed to mock the turmoil within me, its steady rhythm contrasting sharply with the chaos inside my heart.My father glanced at me occasionally, his gaze a mixture of curiosity and concern. I avoided meeting his eyes, afraid that if I looked at him, I might betray the depth of my anxiety. Moving to a new place, leaving behind the familiar, was never easy. The idea of starting over filled me with a sense of dread. No one likes to uproot their life and begin anew, yet here I was, compelled to play the only card I had.We were just an hour away from arriving at Devlin Hills, and about fifteen minutes from reaching Sage’s house. The anticipation of the new environment brought a mix of excitement and apprehension. I stole

*Skylar's POV*:The Moon BallI take a final glance at the mirror, reminiscing on the recent happenings,it's been a crazy couple of weeks. Sage and I finally resolved our differences and I could only hope that I never find myself in that situation with him again. He has been far too kind and the least I could do was to make sure his feelings was not constantly hurt. Crouching down to pull out a loosened thread from the hem of my ball dress,I feel a warm hand from behind.“You look stunning”. It was Sage,I could tell from the sweet masculine scent that embraced the room in split seconds. “Thank you”, I replied, leaning behind to fall into his embrace. I would probably be needing it for the uncertainty I felt on how the night would go. I had a black sheath dress on with my hair packed up in a ponytail and a sort of Effy Stonem makeover which was quite contrasting to my usual nerdy look. It was finally the day of the moon ball and I felt a mix of excitement as it was my first time, and a
