Dear Husband, I'm the Alpha's Mate The one where he gets jealous
~ Nikolai ~I stood behind my mate, watching proudly as she took charge of the meeting again without missing a bit.My blood was still boiling with anger at the nasty things that stupid man had said to her.I'd instantly seen her reaction to it. Her face had fallen, and her confidence with it.In a surge of protectiveness, I'd found myself jumping to her defence.But now, she'd taken control again and was handling the meeting like a pro. I felt a wave of pride well up inside me. 'That's my girl! That's my mate!' it sang."Reading through the contracts, I can admit that we are in a tough position here. The terms of the contract mean that you own not only his music catalogue but also his likeness," she was saying."It's a good thing that you know that," the woman on the other team said. The man took over again;"Since Mr Hall has signed that contract, he is bound by it. We only came for this meeting out of formality. He has no choice but to either stay with us or leave the name Kid Ro

~ Nikolai ~Karl surged to the surface like a wildfire, straining to attack the kid."Snap his hand right now!" he growled inside my head.I struggled against him fiercely. It was even harder because deep down, I wanted to do the same thing. I didn't want him touching Bella.There aren't many times that I actually win against Karl but this time, I managed.I guess I was strengthened because I didn't think Bella would appreciate me breaking her pop idol's hand in front of her.So instead, I pinned the kid with a deadly look. He caught my eye and immediately backed up. He let go of her immediately, a scared look flashing across his eyes. "I-I have to go," he muttered."I'll see you at the next meeting, Mr Rover," Bella called to him, completely oblivious to our little exchange.He hurried away without a word, throwing an uneasy look over his shoulder at me.The manager stopped to shake her hand as well. "Thank you, Mrs Bella. You did an amazing job. I look forward to concluding this c

~ Bella ~For moments after Alpha Nikolai left the room, I remained curled up against the wall, crying.I couldn't for the life of me figure out what had led to such a drastic change in Alpha Nikolai's mood.One second he was smiling, telling me he was impressed. The next second he was punching a hole in the office wall. My ear was still ringing from the loud crash. I brushed the plaster from my hair.'I can't believe that I was actually warming up to him. He is a monster! A monster!'Tears streamed down my face in torrents. My body still shook slightly from the fear and adrenaline rush.Honestly, I'd thought he would kill me right then and there. That moment where his fist flew towards my head... his eyes had actually glowed red. If he'd hit my head, my brains would be all over the floor right now, no doubt.How could a person be that strong? He could have easily crushed my skull with his fist!It was a brutal reminder that the person I was dealing with was not human. He was an a

~ Bella ~I froze as I heard Alpha Nikolai's deep, husky voice over the phone.The last time I'd heard his voice, he'd been growling at me.Right now his voice was uncharacteristically soft, almost appealing.But the memories from earlier continued to play in my head, causing the back of my neck to prickle in alarm."Bella?" he repeated. "Are you still there?"I shook myself back to attention. "Hello? Hum... yes I am. And yes, I got the necklace.""Did you like it?" he asked.I nodded then remembered that he couldn't see me. I cleared my throat."Yes, I did," I answered. "It's very beautiful. Thank you.""And did you get my note too?" he pressed."Yes, I did," I answered again. I was not giving him any leeway because to be honest I was a bit mad at him for what happened earlier."I meant it, Bella," he said. "I'm sorry about earlier. I shouldn't have lost control like that."I sighed. I couldn't even stay mad at him when he sounded this quiet and pertinent. I had a feeling not many p

~ Bella ~"What did she do this time by the way?" Maggie asked.I gave her a quick rundown of my encounter with Mrs Meyer at Parker's office earlier.Maggie threw her head back and laughed. "You have to give it up to her though. She really takes her job as your arch nemesis very seriously!""Well, I'm going to teach her a good lesson this time again. I guess she didn't learn her lesson last time. Remember how it went?" I asked, snickering.Maggie doubled over laughing, tears gathering at the corner of her eyes. "Girl, how could I forget?"The last time we'd decided to 'teach Mrs Meyer a lesson', I'd come up with an elaborately delicious plan.Maggie and I had enlisted the help of an old friend from back home to place a call to Mrs Meyer while we listened from the door. Even though we only got to hear one side of the conversation, it was highly rewarding.It'd gone something like this;"...Hello?" *Pause "...Yes, this is the office of Parker Smith." *Pause "...I am his secretary, Mrs

~ Nikolai ~I paced the length of my study. I had a lot on my mind lately.The content of the worrisome file in my desk was never completely out of my mind even when it was out of sight.Sooner or later, I would have to deal with the matter even though I was stalling.Making Bella prove to me that she could handle the case was just as much a ploy to delay the inevitable.Talking of Bella... it'd been about three days since I last heard from my mate.Ever since the day she'd hurriedly cut off the phone off when I'd slipped up and called her the nickname I only called her in my head...I knew for a fact that she hadn't gotten a new case yet which meant I had no excuse to call her or see her.I stalked over to my phone and dialled a number. It took a few rings but they finally picked up."Old friend, how are you these days?" I said into the receiver.By the time I dropped the receiver, I had a smile on my face. 'Dear Bella, looks like I'll be seeing you soon enough.'The next day, my ph

~ Bella ~"So here's the load down," I started. "Mr Charles Darl was an employee of Suave Accounting firm. He was dismissed three months ago as a result of an accounting mistake that resulted in a loss of $100,000."Alpha Nikolai nodded. He was listening so abruptly that I was actually surprised. I could almost think he was actually interested and not just trying to make my life more difficult by insisting on being involved in the case.When he'd said, "So where do we start?" earlier, I'd immediately started trying to convince him to trust me to do it on my own.I practically swore that I would get back to him later with all the details but he'd refused vehemently.So here we were. Sigh! At least he was listening."Now the thing is Mr Darl claimed it was an accounting error but the company suspected otherwise," I continued."A case of fraud?" he asked."Exactly!" I nodded. I gave him a smile to show I was pleased. "However, they couldn't find any concrete evidence to tie him to the c

"Start again," he commanded.Startled, my hand immediately flew back up to the buttons.He had such a quality around him that made you just obey him without thinking.I frowned, my face turning bright red with a mix of anger and embarrassment.This time, to avoid making the same mistake again, I was forced to actually look at what I was doing.As such, his chest was back in my line of sight. I swallowed.I practically had to hold my breath the entire time or risk running my hand over his fine skin. How could a man have such nice skin?Actually how could a werewolf have such nice skin? I'd never really known any werewolves personally but I'd just always imagined them to be very hairy and scary looking.There wasn't a single strand of hair on his chest and even though he looked dangerous, he was too fine to be considered scary-looking.I held my breath and finished up the buttoning as fast as I could. Halfway to the top, he grabbed my hand again."What now?" I whined."That's enough,"

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.

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
