An Enemy Called Mate

ZIVA

“I also don’t want to be here. Now get up, and get dressed. The Omegas are organizing a party, so you should be prepared,” Anji spoke quickly. Crossing the room, she picked up the soft, fluffy blanket and carried it over to the bed carefully.

Draping it over the mattress, she smoothed it out, ensuring that it was perfectly straightened and covered the entire surface.

“Party? Why are they organizing a party?” I questioned curiously.

Anji turned away from the bed, and replied, “A welcome party for the Alpha’s mate.”

“Oh…” I moved away from the bed and approached Anji, “Speaking about that, have Nikolas’s pack been rescued?”

“Not yet. The packs that attacked are very strong, they can’t surrender to others easily. Even Nikolas and a few of his warriors are in hiding.”

“Great, that must be such a relief to Alpha Darwin.”

“Pfft… Tania is missing, adding more fuel to the fire. She can’t mind link anyone, and possibly, she had been captured by that awful Bloodbath pack.” Anji voiced out. I gasped, realizing what had happened. Tania must be in a lot of trouble.

I changed into a floral dress and went to the dining hall to have my breakfast. As soon as I reached there, the maids greeted me politely. I sat on a chair and food was served.

The Alpha’s mate sat opposite me. I must say, she is a very beautiful woman. She had dark hair, deep brown eyes, and was curvy. She ate silently without glancing at me.

After having breakfast, I and Anji went to the boutique that was located near the mansion to get some clothes. The boutique was a big building with high-quality clothes. Anji suggested that I change into some clothes.

I did, but none was to my liking until I wore a black dress that reached my ankle. The design on it was beautiful and it was not revealing a lot.

“I’ll take this,” I said to the fitting room attendant.

She smiled, “Let me ring it up for you.”

Suddenly, a female voice echoed, “I’ll take that dress.”

I turned and spotted Alpha Xander’s mate, Rose. She glared at me with disgust in her eyes and approached me swiftly.

“I want this dress,” She said with an authoritative tone. I almost let out a chuckle. I chose the dress already. Did she do this deliberately?

“Lady Rose, Lady Ziva chose the dress,” The fitting room attendant spoke. Instantly, a smack pierced the silence in the boutique.

Rose slapped the fitting room attendant and she voiced out, “I am the Luna here. Get the dress or leave this pack!”

Another fitting room attendant interfered. She ushered me into the fitting room and begged me to change the gown I chose.

She sifted through some gowns, pulling out a few options. “These would look even better on you than the one you picked out,” she cooed, laying them out in front of me. “They’re so beautiful, and they fit you perfectly.”

I stared at the gowns in front of me, unable to decide which one I liked the most. I felt annoyed by her sweet talk. She was only doing this for Rose.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

“Let Rose have the gown she chose. I think I’ve got enough to choose from my closet,” I finally replied, a hint of annoyance in my voice. I was tired of the whole shopping experience and just wanted to be done with it.

With that, I changed into my floral dress and exited the fitting room.

“That daughter of a b-tch. She sure knows how to ruin someone’s mood,” Anji clenched her jaw.

“It’s fine. I was only interested in getting some clothes because you suggested it,” I replied and Anji creased her brows.

“If you keep doing this-”

I continued my statement, “I will leave this pack soon. Let bygones be bygones.”

The party was about to begin, and I felt the need to clear my head. I strode outside the mansion, taking a walk around.

The sound of heavy footsteps hit my ear. I turned around and spotted a man running towards me. Some guards were chasing him too. He ran past me and fell. The bag he held rolled onto the floor. Glancing around, he picked up his heels and forgot to take the bag.

The guards ran after the man, as they were not concerned about the bag. Was that a thief? I became curious. It urged me to check the bag and see what was inside. So, I glanced sideways, ensuring that no one was around. Then, I took the bag and moved to another side.

When I was in a safe spot, I opened the bag. To my greatest surprise, I saw the broken fragment, The Crystal Moon! Perhaps, it’s fake. What if it’s real?

I hugged the bag, and muttered to myself, “Ziva, this is your chance.” Since the Crystal Moon was in the bag, I didn’t feel any burns on my hands.

Swiftly, I brought out my phone and ordered Anji to bring my purse. She brought it as I ordered and I shoved the bag off. Ensuring that the Crystal Moon was safe in my purse without anyone knowing, I said to Anji, “Now, all I need are the divorce papers.”

“Divorce papers? What are you talking about?” Anji asked with furrowed brows.

“I need you to arrange the divorce papers. It should be prepared by tomorrow so that I can hand it over to Alpha Xander as soon as possible,” I whispered.

“Why do you want to divorce him?” Anji questioned. I became irritated by her tons of questions.

“Just do as I say. We will finally be able to leave this pack after Alpha Xander signs the divorce papers,” I told her. With that, I adjusted my dress and returned to the mansion excitedly.

I hid my purse under my bed, and the party began swiftly.
