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

　　It wasn't hard to find out where Chris was taking Samantha on a date. He was taking her to Rosy's. Go figure. Real original, Chris, I thought to myself.


　　I was a little spiteful and jealous, and I knew that, but I couldn't help it. I'd made a mistake rejecting him in the first place, and now my duty was to fix this mess I was in. Right now, I need to play Happy Couple with Zeke.


　　I looked over at Zeke, whose arm looped in mine, grinning like the cat who ate the canary. I shuddered, not enjoying this part of the plan. I told him we could have just come here as friends, but he insisted that it would have worked better if Samantha had thought we were together. I finally relented. She seemed to have some jealousy complex with me.


　　As we neared Rosy's, I felt myself pulling away from Zeke, starting to doubt our plan. But his grip on my arm tightened. "It'll be okay," he whispered to me.
