Dear Husband, I'm the Alpha's Mate The one where she questions the mum
~ Bella ~"You look like shit. What's wrong?" Nikolai asked the moment I trudged in.He didn't need to tell me. I knew I looked horrid. I saw myself in the mirror this morning.My eyes were red, puffy and swollen from crying a bit and tossing and turning the entire night.I looked like a zombie in a poster for an apocalyptic movie.Maggie followed me with her eye, a concerned look on her face.Boulin, as usual, was staring straight ahead expressionlessly.I wasn't in the mood to answer any questions. I breezed past Nikolai, Maggie and Boulin.Nikolai followed me... of course. No such thing as some time to yourself when he was around."Why are you here so early anyway?" I grumbled."Because I simply couldn't wait to get Dylan's case started," he said drily."Nice sarcasm," I muttered and flopped down into my chair."What's up with you really?" he asked again, sitting across from me. "You look like you didn't sleep a wink last night.""I didn't," I conceded."Why? Was it because of the
Dear Husband, I'm the Alpha's Mate The one where they get tested
~ Bella ~She looked at me with eyes shiny with tears. "I just know!" She said emphatically.She turned to look at the baby in her husband's arms. "That's not my baby," she said.That kind of certainty was surreal. It also raised the fear that if it turned out that the baby was in fact theirs, they would either be riddled with guilt for the rest of their lives or the wouldn't be able to love her anymore.The more reason to get a move on with the DNA Test so the truth could be revealed on time. Before any permanent damages we're done.What I didn't tell them is that it was next to impossible for the hospital to have made such a 'mistake'.I'd spent a bit of time reading up on it this morning and hospitals have a very specific system.Once the child is born, they slap a tag with the parents name on its wrist immediately before leaving the room.That way the chances of there being any mistake was slim to none.Either someone completely forgot to do that and the hospital was trying to co
Dear Husband, I'm the Alpha's Mate The one where there's a hotel bed
~ Bella ~Nikolai carried me into the room despite all my arguments to the contrary. He carried me all the way to the bed and carefully laid me on it.The moment he set me down, I sprung into a sitting position and cross my arms. "Where am I?" I asked stubbornly.He pushed me back down. I sprung up again. "I asked you a question!" I demanded.He threw his hands up. "Alright! I'll tell you! Just lay down, will you?"This time when he pushed me into a lying position, I stayed down but kept my hands crossed over my chest and kept frowning."This," he waved his arm around the room, "is a hotel. You looked so exhausted. You could have very well fallen dead at any moment. I figured you can use some rest.""So you just upped and brought me to a hotel!?" I exclaimed. "In the middle of the day!? I should be at work right now.""No, you should be resting right now. It's the only way you can work efficiently anyway. You can't be productive feeling like that," he argued."But still! B-bringing
Dear Husband, I'm the Alpha's Mate The one where she hit him
~ Bella ~With a giant yelp, I tumbled backwards and landed heavily in Nikolai's lap.I smacked him upside of the head. His only response was a light laugh."Like what you see?" He asked.I blushed furiously. I struggled to get out of his lap but he locked his arms around me. Try as I might, I couldn't break his grip."Let me up, Nikolai!" I exclaimed, struggling against him."I see that you've regained your strength. That's good," he teased.I gave up. I couldn't even budge him. I folded my arms and huffed in annoyance. "I can't believe you fell asleep too," I said sourly. "What a guard you are. If someone was trying to attack me, you'd be--""Awake and holding their heads in my hand before they could get past the door," he said. His voice was cold with assurance and a touch of male pride.I smirked. "Really? I got pretty close to you without you realizing," I pointed out.He smirked right back. "And I knew the very moment you woke up. I know how you crawled your way one inch at a t
Dear Husband, I'm the Alpha's Mate The one with the silent treatment
~ Bella ~Nikolai was out the door and dashing across the parking lot before I knew what was happening. I turned to my door and pushed it open. I jumped out and ran forward.Nikolai was no where in sight. How did he disappear so fast? I picked up my speed, running in the direction I saw him take off in."Nikolai? Nikolai?" I shouted over and over again as I searched for him.But there was no sign of him. I got to the end of the parking lot when suddenly someone jumped in front of me.I screamed and jumped back. They reached out and grabbed me by the shoulders."What the fuck do you think you're doing?" A familiar voice spat.I sagged in relief and opened my eyes to see Nikolai standing in front of me. "Oh, it's you," I muttered."Why did you do that?" He asked, his voice bristling with annoyance."What?" I asked defensively, bristling at his tone."Why did you come after me?" He clarified hotly.I shrugged. "I don't know," I muttered. "You just took off like that. I didn't know why o
Dear Husband, I'm the Alpha's Mate The one where they get the DNA results
~ Bella ~The door opened and Nikolai walked into the office. "So knocking is just not a thing anymore...?" I asked saucily.He paused for a second, looking at me then continued forward. He sat in front of me. "You look like shit," he said.I rolled my eyes. "Geez, thanks," I said. "Just what I've been wanting to hear.""This is the second time in a few days you've come into work looking like you're about to roll over dead any moment. What's up?"I shrugged. "Nothing is up. What could be up?"He gave me a disbelieving look. "If you tell me what the problem is, I'll make sure it's never a problem for you ever again," he said.I chuckled lightly. "While I appreciate that, I don't think this is an issue you can solve.""Try me," he said.I laughed and shook my head. I reached into my drawer and pulled out an envelope. "I got the results back," I said."When are they expected to come in?" He asked."Any moment now," I said. "Maggie left them a message earlier.""Good, I wanted to be here
Dear Husband, I'm the Alpha's Mate The one where they meet the parents
~ Bella ~It was a sober mood in the car on the drive over to the Hamilton's house.I looked in the review mirror at Dylan and his wife. They had their hands clutched together while s ashe carried the baby.Already I could see the lack of tension in her that had been so glaring the last time I saw her holding the baby.Now that like all her animosity and fear had faded away.She was finally going to get her baby back and I couldn't be happier to be able to make that possible.Dylan caught my eye in the mirror and gave me a smile, gratitude shining in his eyes. I smiled back. "Stop flirting with a married man," Nikolai exclaimed with mock shock."You flirt with me every time," I pointed out. "And no, I'm not flirting with him."He smirked. "That is different. You're my mate. That transcends marriage. You're mine."I rolled my eyes. "Statements like that is why P--" I realized what I'd been about to say and stopped talking immediately. I'd almost spoken about my issues with Parker
Dear Husband, I'm the Alpha's Mate The one where there's an agreement
~ Bella ~Mrs Hamilton went running from the room, grabbing her baby on the way out as if we might just kidnap her baby and run.I can assure you we had zero intention of doing anything of the sort. Mr Hamilton didn't follow his wife. He sat looking at us with an introspective look on his face."So you're saying," he started slowly, "...that that little girl is ours and ours is yours?" He asked, looking at the baby in Dylan's arms.Dylan nodded sagely. "Yessir, that's what we're saying."He could only stare silently. What could a person say to something like that?"Mr Hamilton, we're not here to make any trouble for you. Mr Dylan and his wife just thought that you should hear it from them first, parent to parent. Because we have every intention to sue the hospital and have the mistake reversed. We didn't want you to hear it for the first time at court," I stated."B-but she's ours! We've been raising her," he said. "How do we suddenly start over with an entirely new baby?""I'm sorry
