~ 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.

    ~ 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

    ~ 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

    ~ Bella ~"Bella, you have a package," Maggie said, walking into my office."A package?" I asked wonderingly. "I didn't order anything."She held a brown envelope in her hand. "Well, it has your name on it and I found it on the floor in front of the door.""Okay, thank you," I said, taking it from her. She nodded and headed back out to her office.The envelope was sealed shut. I grabbed a pair of scissors and used it to open up the envelope. I turned it over and the content fell out onto the picture.Frowning, I picked them up. There were four pictures in all. I turned them over and gasped.They were pictures of Nikolai and Ahmad coming out of Tony's apartment. The first one had Nikolai alone while the other three had Ahmad in the back.Why would someone send these to me? Was it the same person who sent our pictures to the media? According to what we'd heard, they'd also received the pictures in their mail.Why send the same picture to me again? Maybe there was a note or something?

    ~ Bella ~Nikolai was smiling at me in the weirdest way. "What? Why are you smiling?" I asked uneasily. For one, he'd given in too easily to my demand to have just one bodyguard and now he was smiling too? That couldn't be good for me."What? Can't a man smile anymore?" He asked, smirking."Nope! Nope! A man can smile. But you're not a man. You smiling is scary cause it means you have something up your sleeves. So I'll ask again. Why are you smiling?" I demanded.He shrugged. "No reason. Come downstairs for a second. I want to introduce you to someone," he said.I eyed him suspiciously but he just blinked innocently at me. I sighed and followed him. "I have a feeling I'm not going to like this," I muttered."You never know. Don't conclude too fast," he shot back.I rolled my eyes. We got downstairs and walked through the parking lot to his car. Ahmad and Boulin snapped to attention when we arrived. "Alpha Nikolai," Ahmad said. Boulin, as usual, didn't say a word.I frowned, bendi

    ~ Bella ~Suddenly seeing Boulin standing in front of my door shocked me. I'd completely forgotten that Nikolai said he'd be my body guard from now."Oh, sorry, Boulin. I forgot you were here. I didn't mean to scream," I said and waited to see if he would respond. After a few seconds, he nodded. Phew! It was the most response I'd ever gotten out of him. "I'm in a hurry right now. I'm going out for lunch. So...I don't know how this works but if you're going with me then we have to leave right now."I hurried downstairs and he followed me. When I got to my car, I looked around. Nikolai's car was gone. Ahmad would have driven him away.That meant that all that was left was my car. My small, compact, feminine car. I looked Boulin over."What are we going to do now?" I asked. "I'm not sure you can fit inside my car."He reached out and grabbed the car door handle, giving me a meaningful look."Hum...okay, if you say so," I muttered and went over to the driver's side.

    ~ 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

    ~ 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

    ~ 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.

    ~ 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."

    ~ 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

    ~ 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

    ~ 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
