Dear Husband, I'm the Alpha's Mate The one where he gets angry
~ Nikolai ~I walked out of the house with a bounce in my steps that morning.Hell, I was even whistling as I went. I was in a really good mood that morning.The reason? Things were progressing really nicely with Bella.The last time we saw, which was yesterday, I felt like we'd really taken a step in the right direction.I hadn't been planning to confess my feelings to her just yet but it had just popped out unplanned.If you ask me, I think the unplanned confession was the best really.The fact that she hadn't slapped me or run out screaming was an indication that something had gone right.I smiled. By the time we saw today, things could really start progressing as long as I played my cards right."You seem to be in a good mood today, boss," Ahmad said, holding the car door open for me."Do I?" I asked and got in, thinking that was the end of the discussion.He hurried around the side and got in next to me. "Why are you so happy?" he asked.I sighed wearily. I should have known he w

~ Bella ~"Oh my gosh, I think he's angry," Maggie muttered fearfully.I knew the same fear I could hear in her voice was definitely reflected in my face as well."More than angry. He is furious," I said."Oh shit! Oh shit! I told you I wasn't interested in playing chaperone to you guys. Why, oh, why did you bring me into this!" she cried.I swallowed heavily and didn't answer. Maybe I hadn't made the best decision asking this of Maggie?It's just that after yesterday's events, I'd renewed my decision to stay as far away from Nikolai as possible and kill any errant feelings for him.And this was the solution I readily found. At least if we weren't alone, there was less of a chance of me doing something stupid.I didn't think it would make him this angry. It's not like he liked me or anything."He isn't going to hurt me, is she?" Maggie asked fearfully.I shook my head. I knew Nikolai. I knew he wouldn't hurt me. Or Maggie. He would never do that.He might have misread my nervousness fo

~ Bella ~From the ground, I watched Nikolai drag Emily up against the wall. There was a horrid scraping sound of her flesh against the bricks. I cringed.He pulled her up until her legs cleared the floor. She dangled helplessly from his hands. I struggled to my feet but stood a few steps back, watching helplessly."I'll give you one chance to answer my questions," he said in a deathly calm voice.Her bravado had faded. She nodded, eyes wide with fear."N- Nikolai!" I stuttered in fear. Real fear. "You can't threaten a person. It's against the law and--""First question," he said, completely ignoring me. "Why are you suing Isaiah and Isabella?" She swallowed heavily. Meanwhile I was still in panic mood. We could get sued for this. Plus no information we got here would be admissible anyway because we're getting it illegally.But it was impossible to get through to him in this state. Oh shit!I'd known his anger against me would have to find an outlet somewhere and now I was seeing

~ Nikolai ~"Now, let's get some answers," I said. "Emily here has been kind enough to inform me that it was you who approached her with an offer to make quick money."Tony's eye darted to Emily. Even in the dark room, I could see the light of accusation in his eyes."N-no, that's not true," he said.Nikolai gave a world-weary sigh. "Listen here, Tony boy, I'll be straight with you. I already did one interrogation today. Let's save each other a lot of stress and just be truthful, okay?"He said everything in a calm, reasonable voice that was even scarier than if he had just yelled.Tony must've thought so too because he immediately nodded. "I-I'll tell the truth sir," he said."Good! Emily here was nice enough to inform me that she was offered some money to file the case against Isaiah and Isabella," Nikolai started.Emily made a choking sound in her throat. He ignored her.She continued. "Apparently, the person who did the offering was you. I'll like to know why.""N-no! I didn't do

~ Unknown ~I watched Nikolai storm out of the apartment building; his men with him.He looked furious. I wondered why. More importantly, I wondered what he was doing in a place like this.The great Nikolai Reese at a rundown apartment building downtown? Who would have guessed.I raised my camera and snapped a few pictures of him. In the next one, I made sure to get his men in the frame; Ahmad and Boulin...He got into his car immediately and they took off. I waited for a few seconds before I peeled out of the shadows to leave.Just then, I saw movement from the corner of my eyes. Someone else was coming out of the same building.I stepped back into the shadows and watched a woman step out and look around.I recognized her immediately. It was the female lawyer, the one handling Nikolai's case. They seemed to be spending a lot of time together for a lawyer and client. Very interesting!She seemed to be looking for something. Probably Nikolai. Did he abandon her? He'd driven off in a

~ Nikolai ~The second I heard that slight ruffle, I knew where it was coming from.With a burst of wolf speed, I darted in the direction of the sound faster than the person, whoever they were, could see.I came to a stop in front of them and slammed my hand into their chest, sending them crashing back into the tree."Who the fuck are you, and why are you following me?" I snarled, my fangs extending out and eyes glowing."N-no sir! I was not following you!" a male voice cried. "I was just enjoying the view here when I heard someone coming so I ran and hid. But when I saw it was you Alpha Nikolai, I panicked!"The voice pierced through my blind fury. It was a child's voice.I realized that my hand holding the person against the tree was lower than it should be laying against their chest."Mathias!" I exclaimed, looking into the face of one of the compound kids. "What the hell are you doing here?"I'd thought this place was completely hidden from everyone."I come here from time to time

~ Bella ~I sat alone in my car, staring at the office building. I couldn't bring myself to go in yet.The events of yesterday with Nikolai continued to play in my head.I felt awful. Like it was my fault that everything happened the way it did.I suppose it wasn't fair that I suddenly turned my back on him because I couldn't control myself.But having seen him like that yesterday... it felt like a different Nikolai.And this version scared the shit out of me. Even worse, I'd have to see him again too.My alarm went off, sending me jumping. I bumped my head into the top of the car."Ouch!" I muttered, rubbing my head. It was time to go in, I couldn't delay it any longer.I walked in slowly. The first thing I noticed when I entered my office was Maggie.She was standing in front of her desk, not sitting. That was already strange in itself.She was looking at something on her desk. Her hand was clasped over her mouth, horror on her face.I was already so tightly strung that my heart imm

"Boss, we didn't know you'll be leaving so soon," Ahmad said when I suddenly returned to the car.He bowed. Boulin, who was standing next to him, bowed too."Change of plans," I said shortly.I'd told them that I'd be spending most of the day at Bella's office.After my conversation with Mathias last night, I'd realized that I may have overreacted so I'd wanted to spend time today making up for that.All chances for that were thrown out the window now that she considered me a murder suspect."Get in. We need to go," I ordered. "Bella will be coming with us.""Yes, boss," Ahmad said but gave me a quizzical look. I ignored him and got in.He held the door open and let Bella get in beside me then he got into the driver's seat. Boulin got into the passenger seat."Where to?" Ahmad asked."The compound," I said.There was no more talking in the car after that.Everyone could feel the weight of my mood and not even Ahmad dared to strike up a conversation.I saw him glancing at me in the rev

Dear Husband, I'm the Alpha's Mate Epilogue
~ Bella ~"In the case of the Shelbys and Hamilton against the Deca General Hospital, this is the order of this court: that the defendants be liable to pay the sum of $1 million dollars to the plaintiffs for the emotional distress, mental torture and general irresponsibility they displayed in handling this matter! "Thank you, your Honor!" I said, beaming. I turned to my Dylan and gave him a hug. I hugged his wife next."Thank you! Thank you!" she whispered in my ears repeatedly.It'd been a long battle that had spanned over the last three months.The hospital put up a good fight but in the end, we managed to prove that not only were they negligent, but that they also tried to cover it up.The result? Dylan and his wife and the Hamilton's were richer had their rightful babies and were each now half a million dollars richer."Make sure you use that money to take good care of your girl," I said."You can bet we will!" Dylan cried.I waved goodbye to them and packed up my belongings.I m
Dear Husband, I'm the Alpha's Mate The one where the war ends
~ Bella ~At Nikolai's words, Nicholas whirled around, dragging me with him.My eyes widened in shock to see a fox, an actual full grown red fox, flying through the air towards us.This wasn't a normal kind of fox. It was huge! Just as big as me.It's teeth were barred and claws outstretched towards us.I screamed in fear at the frightening sight. I tried to duck down but I couldn't because of Nicholas' ironclad hold on my neck.My life flashed before my eyes for the umpteenth time.But the fox jumped clear over my head, grabbed the back of Nichola's shirt in it's teeth and dragged me away from me.In the next breath, there was a ripping sound and Nicholas transformed into a wolf too. His wolf was even bigger than the one that first attacked.Alone for the first time in hours, I was suddenly a loss as to what to do with myself.For a second, I stupidly stood blinking at the wolves.But teeth were snapping just a few feet in front of me. One snap came too close to taking my arm off.I
Dear Husband, I'm the Alpha's Mate The one where he finds her
~ Bella ~The door crashed open.I whirled towards it. Nikolai! His familiar face filled the doorway.My heart soared with happiness. I jumped up and started to take a step towards him.I stopped immediately and took a step back. No! That wasn't Nikolai.These were the cold, dark eyes from earlier. It was Nicholas.He stormed towards me and grabbed me by the forearm."Shut the fuck up!" he snapped.I winced as the part of my arm where he was holding flushed with pain.That meant he'd heard me singing. Maybe Nikolai would have heard too?"You're coming with me," he snarled and dragged me out.We circled to the back of the barn room he'd put me in. He began to drag me towards the woods.Fear gripped me as we got closer and closer to the dark woods.Oh, gods. I'd just been raising my hopes that Nikolai would find me thanks to the singing.Would he be able to find me in the woods? What did Nicholas plan to do to me in the woods?"You don't have to do this," I said, my voice shaking slight
Dear Husband, I'm the Alpha's Mate The one they go to war
~ Nikolai ~War!During my father's lifetime, war was a common thing.Clashes between different packs and factions tore at our pack time and time again.Our kind were hot-headed and extremely prideful. Those weren't great combinations when it came to co-existing peacefully.But ever since I took over the pack, the number of wars we fought have drastically reduced.In fact, we hardly interacted with other packs and factions at all.The pack was as self-sufficient as they come and I loved it like that.But even then I'd always known this day would come.This problem had been brewing long before my father even died. When one day, a young man suddenly showed up on our doorstep, claiming to be a Reese, I knew immediately that one day I would have to fight to protect my birthright and my people.Well, that day was today and he had the perfect ace in his hands, my mate.I couldn't afford to get distracted or I would mess things up and she'd end up dead.We had to move with precision. Thank
Dear Husband, I'm the Alpha's Mate The one where she sings
~ Bella ~"It was you! You're the one who killed Parker," I spat."Right again!" he shot back with a grin.It was like a dam within me broke. I just found my husband brutally murdered barely two hours ago.I'd not even had time to process the horrific situation or mourn his death like he deserved.So his snide retort and self-pleased smile didn't sit well with me at all.I heard a loud sound and was shocked to discover that it'd come from me.The next thing I knew was that I was flying towards him in blind rage, hands raised and poised to hit him.But I didn't even get close enough to hurt him.With a backhanded slap, he sent me flying backwards into the wall.My head snapped against the wall and I crashed to the ground again for the second time.I yelped like a dog in pain. He stood looking down at me and tsked."Stupid girl," he said. "You really thought you could hit me? Don't you know who you're dealing with?I didn't bother answering and he didn't bother waiting for a response."
Dear Husband, I'm the Alpha's Mate The one where she finds out
~ Bella ~I blinked in confusion, momentarily too stunned to even feel scared.'Nikolai? Why was he here? Was this some kind of sick joke?'Was it Nikolai who'd abducted me? Why though? And that fight put up by Boulin? Was it just acting?"Hello, Bella," he said, grinning at me as if everything was perfect in the world. As if I wasn't just shoved into a dark room after being yanked around and dragged along by kidnappers.When he spoke again, I realized why his voice had set off alarms in my head.It was because I knew the voice well. "What the hell, Nikolai!" I snapped. "What the hell is going on?"He was walking towards me slowly but he paused now. A thoughtful expression crossed his face. "Nikolai..." he mused. "Oh, I just realized that I have forgotten to introduce myself."My frown deepened. What the hell was he saying now? He sounded like a lunatic?"Sweet Bella, I am not your darling Nikolai. I am Nicholas Reese," he stated."What?" I spat, still confused."I don't know if I
Dear Husband, I'm the Alpha's Mate The one where she meets the enemy
~ Bella ~My abductors bundled me into a plain white bus exactly like your expect from the movies.I screamed and kicked the entire way, trying to get back to Boulin.I couldn't stand the fact that I didn't know if he was dead or alive.Oh my gosh, if he was dead... if he'd died because of me... I didn't know what I would do.No! He couldn't be dead. He couldn't be! He was as strong as ten men! He was the strongest man I knew! Well, maybe except Nikolai.So he couldn't just die like that, right? I had to believe that he couldn't be dead.Nikolai would come looking for us. I had no doubt.He would save Boulin and then come to save me."You should let me go if you know what's good for you," I piped up.My voice shook embarrassingly. I swallowed the knot in my throat.None of the men even spared me a glance."If you knew who was coming for me, you would let me out right now!"Again, no visible response. "Nikolai Reese!" I exclaimed. "Nikolai Reese will come for me. He won't spare any o
Dear Husband, I'm the Alpha's Mate The one where he declares war
~ Nikolai ~After saying my goodbyes to Nick, I headed out.I headed for my car, which I remembered now that I'd left haphazardly on the road.I got into the car. It was then and only then that I allowed myself to pull the yellow scrap of paper I'd recovered from Parker's body.I unwrapped it and spread it out against the steering wall.Just as I thought, there was a note written on it. Also, the note was for me.Even with no name there, I know it was addressed to me.I know the murder of Parker Smith had everything to do with me.I'd left Parker alive and well and then someone had gone in and killed him, making it look like I did.I knew it was only a matter of time before the police found out about my visit here last night.They would come to me with questions. I fully intended to have answers before then.But apparently I didn't have to look too far, the note was an invitation to me by the perpetrator.It read: Knock KnockWho's there?ShoulderShoulder who?Shoulder kept an eye o
Dear Husband, I'm the Alpha's Mate The one where he dies?
~ Bella ~We were surrounded on every side by menacing, growling werewolves. Boulin was constantly turning, trying to keep everyone in his line of sight at the same time.I turned with him inch by inch, keeping to his back.Without turning around, he reached back and grabbed my hand in his giant palm. He raised my hand and placed it on his shoulder.His message was clear, "Stay close!" 'Sir, yes sir! What was I, stupid?' I didn't plan on going anywhere.I saw the attack before it came. It was like an invisible signal that rung through the group and suddenly one of them jumped at us with a roar.Boulin stepped forward to meet him halfway. He swiped a claw at him, catching him midriff.With one swipe, he took out his entire belly. Blood gushed everywhere.The next second, he whirled around and pushed me behind me. I hadn't realized it but the one behind me had come up behind me.Boulin grabbed him by the neck, shook him and tossed him away like a rag doll.I kept my hand on his shoul
