An Enemy Called Mate

ZIVA

Possibly, Alexei was covering up for his brother, Xander. So, I gave Alexei a deadly glare to make him confess.

“I didn’t say anything,” Alexei repeated.

“You mentioned that he had lipstick stains on his lips a few seconds ago,” I muttered.

“It was a mistake,” He replied with wide-opened eyes.

Sounds like a lie. “Just tell me the truth, Alexei.”

“Alright,” He sighed, attempting to say the truth faster than I expected. I leaned forward to listen attentively.

He let out a sigh, and voiced out, “Ziva, Bother is having an affair behind your back.”

I gasped, and my heart sank. Tears formed in my eyes immediately. I knew it! My instincts were right! Xander left to be with his mistress. He is cheating.

I sobbed inwardly, almost breaking out physically.

I know I have been adamant about not consummating our marriage, and I termed it as fake or forced. But that doesn’t mean that he should go ahead to have an affair.

“I am to be blamed,” Alexei continued. I blinked the tears in my eyes away and focused on his statements. “I told him to keep it a secret because you might get annoyed.”

Certainly, I will be annoyed. Right now, I’m annoyed and heartbroken. How could he do such a thing?

I clenched my fist, and managed to not sound like a broken piece, “Who is his mistress?”

“Sorcha?” I asked.

Sorcha seemed like a nice person. She is muscular and powerful, good enough to be his Luna. She must have been the mistress since those fucking bitches love to be close to married women!

“I said the same thing!” Alexei exclaimed, “But he said she isn’t the one.”

“Then who? Is it Anji?”

“I doubt that. Anji is not his type.”

I heaved a sigh of relief. Okay, his mistress is not someone I know. Great…

“What is she like? Very gorgeous?”

“Hmm, he said a lot, but I remembered when he said very pretty.”

“Alright,” I maintained my composure and watched him grumble.

“No worries, I will send the Omega to bring another flask of food,” I uttered, and he nodded.

“Thank you. But I hope you are not worried or annoyed about what I said?”

I faked a smile, “Not at all. Why will I be?”

Alexei touched his chest and spoke, “Okay, that’s a relief then.”

XANDER

I received an important mind link from Lance after Ziva left the bedroom with a blanket. That caused me to leave the mansion at night.

Because of the important announcement from the mind link, I traveled to a nearby city with Sorcha. Sorcha is a strong female warrior and she serves as my assistant and bodyguard in case of an emergency.

It took a few days before we could finally reach the human city. It turned out that Sorcha had prepared the car and food upon receiving Lance’s mind link.

Meanwhile, Lance would stay in the pack. He will serve as my defense if this traveling was an enemy’s plan to move me out of my pack and attack the pack. He is very strong and capable.

Also, I wouldn’t be leaving the pack if Lance had not received the announcement that Alphas are needed to meet up in the human’s city. I would have sent Lance instead, while I stayed at the pack.

As soon as the car reached the human city, different scents wafted into my nostrils. Each scent was nothing compared to Ziva’s scent. Hers was more alluring and inviting.

I shut my eyes, recalling how I kissed her lips and her fair neck.

“Alpha,” A voice jolted me out of my thoughts. I opened my eyes and Sorcha bowed her head.

“I apologize for disturbing,” She uttered.

I clenched my fist, annoyed at her disruption, “You’d better have a very good reason for doing so.”

Sorcha lowered her gaze, “Alpha, other Alphas will be present in the location that was sent. Including Alpha Darwin.”

I clenched my fist tightly. Maz snapped out in a second, but I controlled him. His claws pierced my palms and I felt blood gushing out of the wounds.

“Pfft, he must be preparing a bad egg to hatch at his chosen time,” Maz spoke.

“Yes, he is,” I replied.

Definitely, they planned the meeting in a human city to avoid a bloody fight since no human knows about our identity.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

The car halted to a stop. I stepped out of it and headed into the tall building ahead. Sorcha came walking behind me. We strode into the building and we were greeted by a group of werewolves in the same clothing.

I was ushered into a room with double doors. A guard opened the door, and upon opening it, I spotted a long table with different Alphas sitting by its side.

I walked inside elegantly and sat on an empty chair, next to the other Alpha. Then, I heard a swooshing sound.

The double door swung open, revealing Alpha Darwin.

I scoffed inwardly, as soon as my gaze fell on him. His gaze fell on me too, and I intensified my gaze, using my Alpha’s aura.

He looked away and sat quietly.

Then, an Alpha stood and cleared his throat.

“The Alphas are around, and the meeting can begin,” The Alpha began, “We invited you here, because of Alpha Nikolas’s pack who had been attacked during a party of his.”

“Tsk, isn’t he Alpha Darwin’s gullible son-in-law?” An Alpha spoke, chuckling at his statement.

I turned to Alpha Darwin and noticed his furrowed brows. A look of disappointment crossed his face, and it made me excited.

“Yes, he is my son-in-law,” Alpha Darwin interfered, causing the other antagonizing Alpha to stop chuckling. “But that doesn’t mean that you should forget about how he contributed to your pack and helped you endlessly. Just one mistake shouldn’t justify his personality.”

“One mistake? He ruined the pack member’s life. The children, family, warriors, everything! Everything was wiped off!” Another Alpha interjected.

I leaned back in my chair and watched how the drama would unfold. It was quite interesting to see them antagonize Alpha Darwin.
