Lahat ng Kabanata ng An Enemy Called Mate: Kabanata 61 - Kabanata 70

ZIVAObviously, it's fake! I was a fool. Now, how do I return this without being caught or termed as a thief?I paced around the room, thinking of what to do. Perhaps I should confess to Alpha Xander?No, no, the humiliation is too much to bear. Or... I should cook up a lie... No, he won't believe me. Goodness, I will be regarded as a thief forever!I heard a creak from the door. I turned and saw Anji at the doorway. Hastily, I approached her and let her in before trembling like a jellyfish.“Anji,” I sobbed, “I’m doomed.”I cried in her arms and caught her rolling her eyes. She huffed, “Is this still about Alpha Xander’s mate?”“No, it's something awful,” I cried and moved away from the embrace. I glanced at my arms with teary eyes, as I continued, “I committed a crime. Now, I will be beheaded.”“Beheaded by who? Will you stop beating around the bush?” Anji scolded, like a mother would do to her child.I had no other option than to confess because I innocently needed a solution.“I

ZIVARose rushed towards me with her hand raised in the air. As she swung her arm towards my face, I ducked and turned my head, bracing myself for the sting of her palm against my cheek. But the pain never came. Instead, I felt a rush of air and heard a sharp gasp from Rose.I glanced up and noticed that Rose stood before me with her hand frozen in the air. Also, Alpha Xander grabbed her wrist, as he stepped between us.“What are you doing? Let go of me!” Rose's voice rose to a shriek as she struggled against Alpha Xander's grip.Meanwhile, Alpha Xander spoke to me with a firm tone, “You need to leave.”I didn't hesitate to listen. I moved away and rushed out of the room since that was the only option I had. As soon as I reached my room, I locked the door and heaved a sigh of relief. If I stayed there earlier than I did, Rose would have attacked me even though I had no idea about how I and Alpha Xander got involved in this. Everything seemed so messed up. XANDER“Let go of my hand!

ZIVADeal with that later? I clenched my fists angrily, almost piercing my palms with my nails.“Hey!” I yelled at the top of my lungs. “You can't just walk away. I did as you instructed!”My voice echoed throughout the mansion, but Alpha Darwin did not glance at me. He continued to walk away.That animal!Intending to follow him and snatch the Crystal Moon from him, some muscular, hefty guards stood before me. Obviously, they were blocking my path and attempting to protect their Alpha.I snorted and retreated from the guards. A warm feeling enveloped my hand. I glanced down and noticed Mum’s hand on mine.She gazed at me with concern and worry in her eyes and spoke slowly, “Your fingers are swollen and you look pale. Just rest today.”“No, mum. You don't understand-”She cut in, “Do it for me... For my sake.”I looked away, letting out a sigh, “Alright.”Then, the guards escorted us to the guest room. The room was small, and I assisted Mum to step inside.Quietly sitting next to her

ZIVA“No one is safe?” I looked at her with a puzzled expression. “What do you mean?”“The Crystal Moon is a powerful object. If it is in Darwin's hands, it will be used for his selfish reasons. Hold on...” Mum’s voice trailed off like she was thinking, “He is with the Crystal Moon, then he will... Never release me. I'm the Crystal Moon Guardian... He will only use me too.”I almost choked at her statement. “You are the Guardian?” I stammered, my throat dry. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. How could this be true?That reminds me... The collar, the lie detector detected that I was lying to Alpha Xander when I mentioned that I didn't know the location of the Guardian.“Oh no...” I exclaimed, with fear evident in my voice, “What do we do now?”Mum's face grew pale as she glanced around the room, her eyes darting from corner to corner. “There are eyes everywhere. We need to go somewhere private,” Mum suggested quickly. She darted towards the staircase and I followed. With my hea

XANDERThe moment the clock struck the given hour, I grabbed my brown jacket and wore it, striding towards my car. I had already informed Lance about my departure, but I didn't mention where I was going.To be precise, the location Ziva sent was the Del Tree. Del Tree was a mysterious tree outside the Granelma Pack. It is known for its mysterious ability to dry up and grow colorful flowers during different seasons.The moonlight shone brightly on my car as I drove out of the Pack, heading to the Del Tree.As soon as I reached there, I stepped out of my car. There was no sign of Ziva or even her scent.A few seconds passed, and I became worried. The breeze alone could freeze someone to death. I rubbed my bare hands and hugged my jacket. Why is it so cold here anyway?Then, I saw a thin body slowly moving towards my side... Ziva!I took a step, intending to approach her, but a thought struck my mind. Won't I seem too clingy or affectionate? I took a step back and patiently waited for he
