An Enemy Called Mate

ZIVA

I looked at Anji’s phone screen, wanting to see the pictures she talked about. Some pictures appeared on the screen, causing my jaw to drop at that moment.

It was a picture of Alpha Xander carrying me in his arms. The picture swiped off and a new photo appeared on the screen, this time showing me lying on a bed, Alpha Xander’s face hovering just above mine.

We were both gazing at each other, and there was no sign of anger or coldness in his eyes while he was staring at me. His face spelled more of peaceful.

I grabbed Anji’s phone from Anji and gazed at the huge amount of reactions the pictures had.

The comment section alone was filled. It prompted my mind to read the comments and when I did, I only saw good comments. The comments were filled with admiration, but they also mentioned that they had never seen me among celebrities or billionaires.

Then, a comment drew my attention because of the numerous reactions it received.

[Mr. Xander looks handsome as always, but who is that lady?]

\

[Side chick? XD]

What?! I’m his wife, not some side chick…

“How do they know about Alpha Xander when werewolves identity is a secret?” I questioned Anji.

“He is an Alpha here, but in the human world, he is a businessman, a billionaire,” Anji replied.

“Oh… And side chicks?”

“I do not know anything about that, but I’ve never heard of him with anyone.”

“Alright,” I replied, checking the comment section again, only to realize that someone replied to a comment under the same post.

[There is no chick, and if there is any woman with him, it would be me.]

What? Who is she?

Just then, a notification popped up on the screen. It was a message from an app, with the text; Sender – Alpha Darwin.

“Watch her-” I read the message, but the phone screen snapped out. Anji grabbed the phone from me, and uttered with a changed serious tone, “Focus on what you’re going to wear.”

Sadly, I was unable to read the full message. But the message seemed like a threat to me. ‘Watch her’, the ‘her’ should be referring to me.

“Can I possibly meet Alpha Darwin? I need to discuss with him about my mother,” I voiced out, and Anji shook her head.

“He is busy, but when he Is free, he will contact you.”

Busy? He is busy, yet he messaged Anji, and he didn’t respond to my calls. Is he ignoring me?

No, he wouldn’t dare. I’m helping him with whatever plan he connived.

Anji threw a cloth at me. Luckily, I caught it, and raised my eyebrow in question.

“That dress will match ankle boots. It is simple and a bit stylish.” Anji uttered, and I narrowed my eyes inwardly. If only I could find out about everything at once, things would have been better.

“Alright, I will change into it,” I replied, walking into my closet with Anji’s suggested dress and boot.

I changed into the clothes Anji had given me, meanwhile, she left the room without a word. I suspect that she left to speak with Alpha Darwin secretly. But what can I do anyway, if not watch and backstab them?

Anji returned with a young Omega who quickly got to work, curling and styling my long, brown hair into loose, romantic waves.

“Done!” the Omega announced, smiling as she stepped back to admire her handiwork.

Anji gave her a curt nod and waved her away, causing the young Omega to leave the room with a quiet “Excuse me.”

Then, a grin appeared on Anji’s face. She touched my shoulders and turned me to face her, “The guest will be here in a minute or two, and you are looking great already.”

With her statement, I scoffed inwardly. I couldn’t tell if she was lying or telling the truth.

Even if I questioned her about her excitement for the guest’s arrival, she would only ignore me. Then, she might suspect that I know that she and Alpha Darwin will be against me later on.

“I’m also excited! I can’t wait to see the guest!” I squeaked, forcing a smile on my face. The grin on Anji’s face vanished.

I’m very unskilled at pretending, so I’m not certain that Anji bought my pretense. Tsk, if it were Tania, she would have been given a golden award for the best actress in the pack.

“Now, let’s wait for the Alpha’s order,” Anji muttered.

Alpha’s order? Can Alpha Xander order Anji through a mind link? But the packs had only been united a few hours ago. It’s impossible for him to mind link her quickly.

“How will we get his order? Through mindlink?” I questioned, with curiosity tinged in my voice.

“No, no. When I left, I gave your phone number to the Alpha, so we could wait for his order. You know, it would have been rude to give him my phone number.”

“This is not the first time you did this,” I spoke, my voice rising in frustration. “I told you to inform me before doing something to any of my belongings.”

“It’s not like the Alpha won’t find your phone number later?” She winked.

“My mother would have been released from Alpha Darwin’s cell. So there is no need for him to have my phone number since I will not associate with him anymore.”

“Alright, Lady Ziva. I will do as you say.” Anji replied politely, and she walked out of the room.

Lies, she lied to me.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Obviously, she left the room earlier to speak with Alpha Darwin, now she covered up by lying about my phone number being given to Alpha Xander.

Even though Alpha Xander received such, he would have deleted it immediately.

Beep!

Beep!

Beeps echoed in the room. I turned towards the direction. The source of the sounds was from my phone which lay on the table. I reached for it, and a notification popped up on the phone screen, just like it did on Anji’s phone.
