Dear Husband, I'm the Alpha's Mate The one where she sees the light
~ Bella ~I could see the unspoken question in Nikolai's eyes. 'Do you now believe?' he seemed to be asking with his eyes.I swallowed. I was starting to see the truth while my brain scrambled to put together the pieces of the puzzle.According to Ahamd, after they'd left Tony's apartment, they dropped Nikolai off at the compound gate.If that was true, then truly was no way that Nikolai returned to the apartment unnoticed to kill Tony.I'd carefully taken note of the path to the compound.It was set so far into the woods that he would have needed a car to get back to town.Of course, that applied if and only if Ahmad was telling the truth.Like I pointed out earlier, Nikolai's men would gladly lie for him if the need arose. I could only take their words with a pinch of salt.But hearing this kid's testimony... I couldn't bring myself to believe that a kid like this would lie so cleverly.More so, would Nikolai really ask a child to lie on his behalf?And to what end? Why go to all t

~ Bella~A thrill of happiness washed over my spine."This isn't right," I whispered brokenly. I shouldn't be doing this at all."This is what is right," he countered. He placed my palm against his. "You and I are what is right. Can't you feel it?"Standing like this, facing him, palms touching, it really did feel amazing.I wouldn't have been surprised to find that we were surrounded by a halo.I sighed and dropped my hand. "Nikolai, I'm not going to lie and say that I don't feel the most intoxicating feelings for you..."He smiled and nodded."But I am married. I don't know what that means to werewolves. I don't understand much about this mate thing. But I love Parker, and I married him. For us humans, that is forever."His smile dropped."A marriage cannot beat the mate bond, Bella," he said."I don't know about that. All I know is that I intend to be faithful to my husband for as long as I can," I countered."You know what? There's no point arguing," he said. "No matter how much y
Dear Husband, I'm the Alpha's Mate The one where they're the murderers
~ Bella ~I turned slowly in the direction of the intimidating voice that sent the kids scrambling like that.I cringed, expecting to see someone like Boulin walk around the corner.Instead, a woman suddenly appeared around the corner and began waking towards us.I was shocked. She was a small woman, even smaller then me.She was dressed in a frilly pink dress and pretty white shoes.Her gleaming red hair revealed that she was most likely the mother of little girl who'd complimented me. I'd noticed a few more red-heads among the children. Probably all hers.I couldn't believe my eyes. This tiny woman had sounded like that?She stopped in front of us and bowed. "Alpha Nikolai," she said."Leia, you sent the kids away,. I was enjoying our time together" he said. "They were getting to know Bella."I rolled my eyes. Yeah, right! More like they were putting me in a difficult position, asking me difficult question, and he was enjoying that.He saw me roll my eyes and smiled. "I'm not sur
Dear Husband, I'm the Alpha's Mate The one where they head to the station
~ Bella ~"What are we going to do now?" I asked, panicking."There's no need to panic," he said. "Let's just take it one step at a time, okay?" He turned to Ahmad. "What's the situation?" "They've got an APB out on both of you," he said. "They want you to bring you in for questioning."I gave Nikolai a questioning look. "How does he know that? Do you listen in to their radio chatter or something?"I'd asked it half in jest, a desperate attempt to make light of a very scary situation. But then he gave me an odd look in response."Really? You do?" I spat in shock. "How do you want us to approach this?" Ahmad asked, pulling his attention back."Bella is involved. We have to take the legal route," he said.I couldn't say a word. All I could do was look back and forth between them, wondering what the other method would involve."It's best we go in ourselves before they find us," he continued. "But we'll need a lawyer. Sadly, my lawyer is going to be in jail with me," he said with a smi
Dear Husband, I'm the Alpha's Mate The one where she prepares for interrogation
~ Bella ~Nikolai was practically burning holes in Parker's hand on my head. I rolled my eyes. Now I remembered how he'd reacted weirdly every time that Parker's name came up in the past.I'd attributed his reactions to crazy Alpha mood swings at the time and that had scared the shit out of me.But now that I knew it was just him being jealous... I couldn't help but be amused.Completely oblivious, Parker drew back and turned to Nikolai."Mr Reese, I hope you're okay," he said."I'm fine," Nikolai answered in a clipped tone. "We should probably head inside now so we can leave as soon as possible."Parker nodded. "I agree," he said. "But first, I want to make sure you're on the same page because they are going to question you separately. If you conflict each other in any way, that can be problematic for us.""There's no reason to worry about that!" Nikolai said. "All we need to do is tell the truth, isn't it?""Correct me if I'm wrong, Mr Reese, but I take it you're still trying to ke

~ Bella ~"Let's get started, Mrs Smith," the officer said.I nodded, squeezing Parker's hand subtly under the table.He opened a folder that he'd brought into the room and pulled something out. He turned it around and slid it to me across the table.I bent closer to see what it was. I found myself staring into my own face. It was a picture of me standing outside Tony's apartment building.I was in motion, walking. Probably towards my car. I was pale as a ghost in the picture.This must be the picture making the rounds in the media."Can you identify that this is you, Mrs Smith?" He asked.I nodded. "Yes, it is.""Okay, good. Please tell me how you came to be at this location at that day and time," he said."Well, I'm a lawyer and I've been handling a case involving a figure skating couple. They'd been sued by Tony and Emily for using their song without permission. In the process of investigating the case, we paid Emily a visit at her house and after speaking with her, she took us t
Dear Husband, I'm the Alpha's Mate The one where the case is dead
~ Bella ~Nath? Did Nikolai just say Nath? As in the Nath that was supposed to meet us at the station?So it was one of Nikolai's men that had been interrogating me all along and I didn't realize and was just scared for nothing?I was incredibly pissed off. How could he not have told me! And Parker! Why did he make Parker do all this work when he already knew he'd taken care of it?I turned on my heel and stormed out. I'm sure even Parker was surprised at my sudden change in mood but I wasn't ready for any explanations yet.I stormed out of the station. Ahmad saw me coming and pushed off the back of the car which he'd been leaning on.He opened the door for me before I got there. But I stormed past him and continued straight on to Parker's car. There was no way I was going back with Nikolai now.I waited impatiently for them to come out. Once Parker came out, I made him open the door and climbed into the car, buckling myself in.Nikolai stood beside his own car, looking at me. I
Dear Husband, I'm the Alpha's Mate The one where he investigates the murder
~ Nikolai ~I stood behind Bella, quietly listening as she delivered the information we'd gotten to our clients.She told them what we'd learnt from Emily and Tony that they'd been offered money by the Campbells to sue them."What!?" Isabella exclaimed. "Why would they do that?" "Competition, I imagine," Bella said.All sports are highly competitive. It was no surprise that people would do anything they could to get ahead.Bella paused. "I'm sorry. Were you close with them?" She asked, ever the empathetic queen."No," Isabella answered in a quiet voice. "But we've run in the same competitions over time. We're acquaintances, at least.""I understand," Bella said. "I'm sorry. Anyway, like I was saying, I doubt that they would be willing to get involved in the matter at all anymore seeing how it now involves a murder.""I imagine not," Isaiah agreed."They'll try to wash their hands of the whole matter. They won't want to offer the family any money so the family members have no reason
