"Zane, I want to work outside the home".

I dropped the bomb, knowing he would reject this for the umpteenth time. But I was determined, I wouldn't allow him to talk me out of it again.

I've been living off his credit card to sustain myself for over six months now, which is highly inappropriate behavior from a sensible woman like me. At first, he pretended not to hear me and continued to savor the sandwich I had prepared him along with coffee tailored only to his liking.

He grabbed his suitcase in a fit of anger and spun towards the door. I rushed forward to take hold of his arm, hoping to capture his attention.

"Zane, have you heard what I just said?" I inquired.

"No. I'm deaf this morning," he replied dryly. "I don't feel like listening to your stories right now."

I exhaled with resignation as I knew where this would lead.

"I really want to get to work. I cannot continue like this all day. I have to give meaning to my life. Try to understand that, please," I insist

    Zane didn't lie when he promised this weekend would be outstanding. This morning, we brought some sandwiches and a box of cold drinks as we boarded Zane's massive yacht. His friends Enrick and Xicie were already aboard while Lance arrived with his girlfriend Elise, accompanied by another woman around my age. Enrick and Lance’s scent were a bit odd, but for Xicie and the other woman, those were definitely humans.After everyone was introduced to me, Xicie turned to Zane."My sister just moved here and hasn't found her way around yet. I brought her with me so she could make some friends. Everyone, this is Marelva, our new resident."We all shook hands with her, and I couldn't help but notice that she was a stunning blonde. Her hair cascaded down over her shoulder like a waterfall, while her small waist curved into generous hips. My instincts kicked in as she locked eyes with Zane, there was something about the way they looked at each other that made me fe

    Zane was so in tune with my emotions, he rolled over onto his side and we found ourselves wrapped in a tight embrace. I snuggled up close and draped one leg possessively over him as we lay intimately intertwined on the sandy beach. Marelva quietly lay behind us.I must have dozed off for some time, as I was awakened by a droplet that hit my nose. As soon as I opened my eyes, Zane greeted me with a grin on his face"Hey, Sleeping Beauty, time to go. The sun is now full above our heads and that can be dangerous".As his face hovered close to mine, our eyes locked onto each other in an intense gaze. Before I realized what was happening, our lips met in a deep kiss that left me breathless. Zane’s body pressed against mine as he positioned himself between my legs with care, supporting his weight on bent elbows so as not to crush me beneath him.Enthusiastically, I returned his kiss while my hands tangled in his hair. But not for long, we were forced to part when a voice interrupted us by

    In the early evening hours, we arrived at an island situated in the Caribbean Sea.There were several houses there, clearly belonging to very wealthy people. We decided to move to Zane's place anyway. He explained that he was often away due to work obligations and so it was frequently occupied by vacationers throughout the year. However, lucky for us, it happened to be vacant and available for our use over the weekend.We chose to use it this evening. As we made our way halfway there, a family emerged in the distance near one of the houses. We greeted them warmly and proceeded on our path. Zane’s house was an expansive split-level with an airy open concept design that united the kitchen and sitting room into a luminous, grand space while bedrooms were located on the upper floor. When we inspected the rooms, they appeared spacious with several beds available so we immediately decided to create men's and women's sleeping quarters. "Since we're accustomed to sharing our beds with women

    Megan was nowhere to be found after the incident.It appeared as though she had completely vanished from the face of the earth. Her parents and brothers still came by to socialize with us but they avoided any conversations related to their daughter's whereabouts and seemed oblivious about the events that transpired on the boat. It is possible that Megan provided an excuse to keep her family in the dark regarding the situation. In any case, we women spent this Sunday gossiping about celebrities and their private lives. We shared cooking secrets and soaked up some sun at the beach. Meanwhile, the men sailed away in a small boat a little way out to sea hoping to catch some fish but returned empty-handed. I guess it was just an outing for drinks and gossip far from our ears about the sexiest women they met at work.By the time they returned at noon, we had already prepared lunch and the chicken thighs were sizzling on the barbecue. They were famished so the

    "I've told you many times that you're not going out to work. Why are you being so hardon me? Why do you insist on leaving the house? I'll take care of you, both financially and in any other ways. You don't need anything or anyone else anymore!"Zane is enraged.An hour ago, I exchanged phone numbers with our friends on the pier, and we said goodbye to them. Hand in hand, we went to his car where the fake smile immediately disappeared from his face.He completely ignored me and was silent as he drove home at high speed. I'm sure he's been caught by the traffic camera a number of times, and there's a hefty fine for exceeding the speed limit waiting for him later.As soon as he opened the front door and we went inside, he conveyed his anger."And you asked a stranger to look for a job for you while your man runs a business. Don't youhave any idea how much of a fool you've made me feel at that moment, Becca?" He threw his jacket onto the chair and barged over to the refrigerator to take

  • My Human Alpha Mate   Chapter 19 – Telling Lies

    My job was my life.It was interesting work; my clients ranged from singers to actors, even unemployed rich women stopped by. Each had their own charm, and I treated them all equally with respect and patience. This approach had already earned me a fat sales commission and a lot of tips in the last two weeks, much to the annoyance of my colleagues. Their haughtiness didn't seem to benefit them much; customers were turned off by their unkindness and headed straight in my direction instead.My work had not only become a well-paid job for me but also a passion in which I fully indulged. It was very satisfying to see women and children leave the store much happier than when they entered. We received few male customers; it was often the women who did the shopping for their partners. Our online sales to CEOs and other influential individuals were also growing steadily.Mr. Sims, the branch manager, called me into his office today. I stood outside his office, knocked on the door, and entered

    "And how is Zane reacting to your new job, Becca?" Marelva's question pulled me out of my thoughts, but it didn't cheer me up when I thought about my relationship with Zane, or what was left of it."Absolutely down," I told her. "We hardly ever talk anymore. He came home late, left for work early in the mornings, didn’t eat at home, nor did he sleep in our room any longer," I added sadly. "I didn’t think he would take this so seriously. It’s like I don’t exist to him now. I miss him so much, but I'm not sure how to fix this situation. I love my job, it's something that I've grown to feel is essential in my life and can't give up easily anymore, but losing Zane really hurts too." Tears were closer than laughter these days.What I told Marelva was absolutely true. I hadn't had a chance to talk to Zane since our argument. He ignored me as if I wasn't even in his house. He hadn't taken back the credit card that I left on the table. Now that I was working, I no longer needed it. I'd alread

    Why did I feel like this was the worst decision I had ever made in my life?'Because it really is BAD!' Era growled angrily in my head. 'How do we go on without him? He is our mate, stupid human!'I expected this reaction from her. I thought living so comfortably in someone else's house had made that wolf of mine somewhat lazy. Maybe she was starting to adopt humans' bad traits, and materialism was becoming more important to her than self-esteem.'That is not the case, Becca,' she grumbled. 'You're trapped in self-neglect.' ‘You are afraid of your own feelings, in other words, you are a coward,' she continued.With a jerk, I stopped. Being insulted by your own wolf was a painful thing to deal with. Shouldn't my wolf always be on my side, supporting me in all my decisions? I mused.'Yeah, but not the stupid ones like this, idiot! You're now leaving your fine man prey to other women. That Margey must already be throwing herself at him. How stupid can you be?' Era raged on. Being called

    Becca’s Point Of View Still"Do you still want to visit Zane?" I heard Johnston ask.I jolted out of my haze and back to the present. There was a moment of silence in the car as both of us were lost in our thoughts."What's left to discuss with him?" I replied bitterly. "I'm not going to embarrass him by demanding an explanation about how he got my friend pregnant. I was there myself, remember? So there's nothing more to say."The words hung heavily in the air, a painful reminder of the betrayal that had shattered my world. I felt a lump in my throat as memories of Zane flooded back, each one tainted by the revelation of his deceit. The nights we spent dreaming of a future together and the promises whispered when I was in his arms all now felt like a cruel joke.Johnston's grip tightened on the steering wheel, his knuckles turning white.I could sense his frustration and helplessness, as he wanted to protect me from all this but knew he couldn't change the past. The reality of my fall

    "And by the way, I have some news for you. I am pregnant with Zane, we are expecting our first child in seven months."A stab of pain shot through my heart, causing my breath to catch and tears to stream from my eyes."No," I whispered brokenly. My knees gave way beneath me, but before I could reach the ground, Johnston caught me and pressed me against his chest. I screamed, the pain was too much."Get a grip on yourself, Becca, please," I heard Johnston from afar as he stroked my hand. "Everything will be fine, I promise you." How could everything turn out all right? I thought to myself in despair. I had lost Zane too, that was far worse than when Elyon rejected me.It was only then that I realized Zane was the man of my life, my breath. However, Marelva’s statement hit me like a punch to the gut. It was too late, he was out of my reach forever. Maybe I had pushed my luck too far by going against the grain. I should have listened when he urged me not to go out to work and instead set

    "Some men just don't learn," I heard Johnston mutter beside me. His face was stormy, and his fingers were clenched on the wheel. We were in the car, but he still hesitated to start the engine, struggling to control his temper.He adjusted the shades on his nose and glanced back at the terrace where we left Elyon. With mixed feelings, I glanced in the same direction, but thankfully, the couple was out of sight. After taking a few deep breaths, he turned on the switch, and we were on our way to Marelva to pick up the rest of my belongings.Johnston suddenly faced me. "Becca, I have a friend nearby whom I would like to visit. He owns a fabric shop, maybe you can buy something there for your parents too."That was a perfect idea. I nodded happily, and we entered a business street. Parking seemed to be a big problem there. With great difficulty, Johnston squeezed his robust truck into a narrow space."That's craftsmanship. Not everyone can handle such a huge pickup in such a small space,"

  • My Human Alpha Mate   Chapter 32 - Unexpected Encounter

    Becca’s Point Of ViewTwo weeks later, I realized I couldn't dodge the inevitable any longer. I needed to come out of hiding and get my life back on track. First, I had to address my past. Johnston had offered to help me retrieve the rest of my belongings from Marelva’s apartment, and then accompany me to Moon Shine for a visit with my parents.Yes, I was going to spend an entire afternoon with my parents in my pack and do everything I could to avoid Elyon and his mate. I just wanted to feel the warmth of my parents in my old environment again, that's called re-energizing in modern terms. I was especially looking forward to that. In the evening, before I returned to the cabin, I would face Zane.Not that I was really looking forward to meeting him. The pain of loss was still fresh. I mentioned heartbreak a few times, but I wasn't sure if I was truly in love with Zane. It was more the betrayal that hurt. What I did know was that if things had turned out differently, I'd have been willi

  • My Human Alpha Mate   Chapter 31 – All She Needs Is Time

    Standing speechless before Alpha Alex, Johnston was still trying to make sense of what he had just heard.As Alex's Beta and best friend, he knew him like no other. Alex was a tough nut to crack, unapproachable and not particularly capable of showing affection. He had always been fiercely independent, valuing strength and loyalty from those around him above all else. Johnston noticed that Alex's walls went up higher and thicker after the death of his parents, causing him to become even more emotionally distant.But he bet on the strength of the mate bond. Maybe it could magically change his friend’s attitude and make him capable of being a caring and loving mate to Becca. He had witnessed the power of this bond with others; it was a force so powerful that it could mend even the most shattered souls. Maybe, just maybe, Becca could be the one to break through Alex's barriers and bring out the softer side he kept buried deep within."If Xan acknowledged her, what are you up to? It looks

    I had been in the cabin for three weeks now, which was far overdue.Yes, I knew the deal with Johnston was that I would stay there for only a week, but I wasn't ready to face the harsh world yet. So, I continued hiding in this secluded hut deep in the jungle like a coward.My parents kept me updated every day through our mind link, informing me about everything happening in the pack and beyond. They told me that Zane called them almost daily, desperately asking when I'd be ready to talk to him. He begged them to disclose my whereabouts, pleading for a chance to explain. He told my mother that we were in the midst of a big misunderstanding. He didn’t go into details, probably because he was too ashamed of what happened or feared my parents' judgment.Johnston visited me every day for a few hours. He had become a good friend, and we had a lot of fun together. Sometimes we cooked and ate together, roasted some meat on a self-made barbecue set, or just chatted about business on the verand

  • My Human Alpha Mate   Chapter 29 - Back to Me

    Becca’s Point Of ViewIt was nearly midnight, and I was lying on the bed with my hands behind my head, staring at the ceiling. I reflected on the most challenging moments of my life. My wolf had already helped me recover swiftly from the injuries sustained in the car accident, but it was my heartbreak that still needed mending. The pain I felt when I saw the man I loved naked under the woman I took for a friend was still raw. It pierced my heart even more deeply than anything Elyon had ever done to me."Don't jump to conclusions," Era's warning voice reminded me again. "Talk to him first. Hear his side of the story," she urged.I was uncertain if I would be able to do that. We had intended to spend that day together, taking our relationship one step further. Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. If only I had stayed with him the night before the accident! But we were hoping to have uninterrupted time for each other at home, without work on our minds or other things getting in th

  • My Human Alpha Mate   Chapter 28 - Strange Scent

    Johnston's Point of ViewIt was already the early morning hours, and I was still sitting in the conference room of the pack, tired and irritated. That Alpha of mine didn't seem to really know which direction to take with this meeting. He changed the conditions for the collaboration in the draft contract with the Department of Justice in Human Town every few hours.The execution process and the list of materials required for the joint operations, as well as the projected goals on the human side and more, had been revised over ten times in the past two hours. We weren't making much progress, and all I could think about was going to my bedroom for a good night's rest.Later in the day, I needed to return to the sheriff's office with a signed agreement. However, that didn't seem to work. At this pace, nothing would come of the contract. And then he constantly slid closer and sniffed me.What the heck?!I was sure he didn't have any gay tendencies, but his behavior was highly odd. I couldn

    "But you haven't told me where to go yet," Johnston reminded me.The atmosphere in the car was relaxed. In the short time we had known each other, we had chatted as if we had been acquainted for years. I relaxed, thinking nothing could happen to me in the company of a Beta, right?"I was on my way to the forest. My wolf says we can stay there for a week before going back. We need some time alone."Johnston's face became serious now. "The forest is not safe for a woman alone. We haven't seen rogues in the area for a long time, but you never know," he said with concern. "Why do you want to be in the forest? Coping with heartbreak?"I nodded and looked out the window. I now knew what led me to the hospital, and I completely agreed with Era that we needed some space to process what we had seen.She persuaded me not to despise Zane until I had all the facts. Her voice was a mix of desperation and hope, indicating that she truly loved him. She solely blamed Marelva for what happened, clingi
