An Enemy Called Mate

ZIVA

My phone beeped loudly. I gazed at it and I saw a message, a message with the title;

~FROM ROSE~

The message had a video attached to it. I played it and realized that it was a video recording of Rose and Alpha Xander.

She showed him the fake Crystal Moon and lied, “I saw a bag filled with these last night. So, I took it, and decided to hand it over.”

Alpha Xander kissed her cheeks and spoke calmly, “You are such a darling. I assumed that it was stolen.”

He exhaled, blindly believing his mate, Rose. “I guess the thief was right about dropping it.”

Then, the video paused and it got deleted. I could not view the video anymore and Rose sent a smiley sticker.

‘Your first mission starts tonight.’ I read aloud from Rose’s new messages.

‘An Omega will be before your door within a minute. Grab the box she gives and text me.’

‘Is this some kind of game?’ I messaged her.

‘No questions, just do as I say!’

Just then, a knock echoed on the door. I reached for it and opened the door. Surprisingly, an Omega stood at the doorway. She extended a big box to me with a smile plastered on her face.

“Is this from Rose?” I asked. The Omega didn’t give a response. All she did was nod quickly and leave.

I raised an eyebrow, surprised by her actions. I guess that was what Rose ordered her to do.

Taking the box into the room, I shut the door. I dropped the box and returned to my phone.

‘It’s here.’ I texted Rose.

Just then, the door flew open. I turned to the door, and Rose approached me.

My brows got furrowed, and I didn’t hesitate to question Rose. “Why did you text me when you can just barge in like you did now?”

“I didn’t want to be seen as suspicious. You know, the walls have eyes.”

Great!

I rolled my eyes, meanwhile, she opened the box.

“Here you go,” She smiled widely. “A pretty dress for a pretty girl.”

I glanced at her and watched how she pulled out a red dress from the box.

“What is this about?” I questioned her quickly.

“It’s about the agreement we had. To be honest, the petty thing I wanted you to do is to wear this dress,” She grinned, almost making me irk.

I furrowed my brows, “And why am I wearing it?”

She snapped, “Just do it!”

? ? ?

I changed into the red dress Rose gave me in her room as she instructed. It was a fitting dress, accompanied by a female perfume Rose gave me. She sprayed a lot of the perfume on me as it had a choking scent.

Afterward, she left the room and mentioned that she would be back in a jiffy. I paced around the room, waiting for her anxiously. At one point, I assumed that she would not return to the room.

So, I reached down and unclasped the straps of my heels, sliding them off my feet because I was uncomfortable with them.

Standing up, I felt a wave of dizziness wash over me. Hastily, I sat on the bed and tried to calm myself.

Just then, the light in the room flickered and they turned off instantly. The room became dark, and a creak echoed from the door.

“Rose, I think you need to contact a doctor. I feel dizzy,” I muttered, but Rose didn’t respond.

Instead of her response, I heard heavy footsteps approach me. Turning in the direction of the footsteps, I couldn’t see a thing because it was dark, but my nose caught a familiar cologne.

Everything happened too quickly, like the dream I had the other time. But this time, I woke up with a splitting headache. It took me a moment to realize that I was in Rose’s room with my body feeling sore and weak.

I tried to sit up, and that’s when I saw it – a masculine figure lying next to me on the bed. I jumped back in shock, staring down at my own body. I could only stare in horror as I realized the truth – I was naked!!

The man on the other hand seemed to not be bothered as he let out a silent groan.

I panicked and yelled, “You pervert!”

Just then, the man turned around slowly. Upon seeing his face, I gasped, while a look of confusion crossed his face.

It was Alpha Xander!

He furrowed his brows, “Why are you-”

Before he finished his statement, I grabbed the blanket quickly, and wrapped it around my body, intending to leave the room as soon as possible.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Alpha Xander blocked my path, his bare muscular body being revealed. He looked handsome even when he hadn’t taken a shower with his blue eyes flashing beautifully. His physique looked sculpted, with each muscle perfectly defined.

“None of these happened deliberately. I’m not the kind of person who would cheat on his mate,” He spoke in a rushed tone.

I clenched my fist at his statement. He didn’t want to cheat on his mate, yet he spent the night with me! It felt like he was indirectly saying that I caused this and I did everything deliberately to make him cheat on his mate.

Although I was pale, I managed to control my emotions. I narrowed my eyes at him and responded with a cold and flat voice.

“I don’t want to talk about it.”

With that, I moved aside and walked away from him. I could not even recall what happened last night and speaking to him will only make me feel disgusted at myself.

A loud bang rang. My ears perked up, and I turned to the door.

Surprisingly, Rose stood beside the door. She glanced down at me and the blanket around my body. Perhaps she noticed that I was naked.

I clutched the thin, cotton blanket to my body and watched how she curled her lips in disgust.

Turning to Alpha Xander, she froze like she saw a ghost. Her face turned pale instantly.

“You witch!” Rose yelled, giving me a venomous glare.
