Zeke and I always said we'd be best friends forever since we were pups. Everyone always assumed we'd end up as mates but we laughed it off. So when we both turned 18 and the string of destiny snapped into place tying us together, I was over the moon. But Zeke telling me he'd never mate with a mutt like me. 

Now my worst enemy Chris and I have a plan. 

"What if…we fake dated?" 
"What?" 
"Nothing would really piss Zeke off more than not only you saying no to being his breeder than also making him think we're getting each other's rocks off" 
"You in?"
I stuck my hand out. "You got it, boyfriend."

Rejected by My Best Friend Alpha

　　Chris stood up, grabbing his clothes. "Where are you going?"


　　"Are you really going to do this? Right after we..."


　　He spun around, glaring at me. "Right after you broke my heart?"


　　He kneeled in front of me. "I can't do this, Vivid. I can't keep pretending that I don't care about you when I do. I've always cared about you. You were always around that bastard, Zeke, though. I pushed your buttons to make the real you come out, and finally, the real you are shining, and the real you don't seem to want me. And I can't take that."


　　I searched his eyes, looking for the joke. There was no way this was the Chris who tormented me throughout school. "It's not you. I know people say that, but it's really not. It's the timing..."


　　He shoved off the bed, standing again. "But the timing was okay for Caleb?"
