When the administrative assistant in the faculty office told me that mates needed to be registered at the Academy, my thoughts came to a halt. After all, Asher and I were fake dating, not mates! She must have misconstrued our relationship.
I could see how she would be confused. Asher was extremely protective of me, so much that even his own wolf was all mixed up about us being mates.
But to have a stranger so quickly and easily point out our closeness, sent a blush straight to my cheeks.
“I think there’s been a misunderstanding…”
The admin narrowed her eyes, looking from me to Asher and back again. “You two act like mates…?”
“We’re not…” My voice wasn’t as strong as I needed it to be. I didn’t sound convincing even to my own ears.
The admin ignored me to focus on Asher. “Asher?”
