Adeline’s one goal in life was to work in the famous Bio Research Institute as a scientist, but that dream ended when she was scammed and lost all of her money to pay for her final semester.

She was broke, directionless and desperate. 

It wasn't until she met the Alpha of the Carmine pack, did her luck begin to change. He made her an offer she couldn't refuse— pretend to be his mate and he would make all of her problems go away.

Being a fake mate sounded easy, right? But not for Adeline. She had to face challenges by both him and his family. Was she able to stick to the contract? Or would their plan spiral out of control?

“Now would be a good time not to suppress that sensitive body of yours. Wrap your arms around me.”

My Fake Mate

“What are you doing?” I asked Mark as he held my wrist, but Mark wasn’t looking at me as he stared at Zale. There was caution in his eyes that I couldn’t place.


“Something’s off,” Mark said. “Can’t you tell? Don’t go near him yet, just—”


The minute Mark said those words, a low growl emitted from Zale and he stared at the two of us. Or rather more accurately, he stared at where Mark had a hold on me. Sh*t, I thought it was just me who could sense something was off because of the bond. But how much power was Zale emitting if Mark could sense it too?


Quickly I shrugged my arm out of Mark’s grasp and spoke lowly to him. “You should go,” I told him. “It’s okay. He won’t hurt me.”
