Chapter 9 - Better Times

Author: Florence Su
last update Last Updated: 2025-02-23 07:48:56

After meeting Elyon, the subsequent weeks were difficult and demanding for me.

With a shattered soul, I had retreated into myself and spent most of my days in my bedroom. There, I would wallow in feelings of self-doubt and misery which consumed me entirely. This inner turmoil took its toll on my physical health; losing weight due to loss of appetite coupled with dehydration left me looking skinny.

In the meantime, I had moved out of Zane's bedroom and settled back into my former living quarters that were three doors down. Even our evenings watching television, which I had always looked forward to, I skipped in order to spend more time pondering in my own space. Zane made multiple attempts at lifting my mood and alleviating any burdensome emotions but to no avail.

Recently, Krystal informed me that Elyon had been moved from the hospital in Human Town to the pack's facilities after three days.

A week later, he had made quite an impressive recovery but opted to take it easy, not only to

    It appeared as though I had been given an opportunity for a new beginning in my life.Zane made a considerable effort to keep me from falling into despair yet again. He even went as far as taking an entire week off from his responsibilities to be with me. During that time, we shared many valuable moments together visiting all of my favorite spots and having delightful experiences.And it truly was effective. It has proven to be quite favorable in lifting my spirits and boosting my morale.Our trips to the beach, in particular, were a great success. The feeling of refreshing waves kissing my toes made me feel alive. I especially enjoyed playing both volleyball and water polo on its picturesque sands. We never had trouble finding sports players, whether it was by sheer luck or actively searching for companions among fellow sunbathers, we always managed to find ourselves in good company at this heavenly destination.When it came to socializing skills, Zane had his dream team enlisted wit

    Can anyone please explain why all the secretaries in this country seem to have a crush on their CEOs?"It was like an indelible virus that rages through all offices. Climbing the social ladder with spread legs seems to be a common modus operandi.The moment Zane and I entered his office, I perceived the hostile stare that she aimed at me.The low cut of her dress, exposing a generous amount of her boobs, combined with the tight fit that artfully accentuates every curve along the length and breadth of her voluptuous body, speaks volumes. Not to mention that gaudy makeup with fiery red lips that promise nothing less than paradise itself.With Zane around, she tried to hide her feelings towards me but her insincerity was clear. Believe me, I could smell fakers a mile away, Luna Denise has definitely taught me a valuable lesson in that department. "Becca, I would like you to meet my secretary, Margey. And Margey, this is my girlfriend," he introduced us. Although content with being label

    After weeks of silence, my wolf Era finally decided to make a comeback.I heard her sigh and wince sadly. After the heartache of Elyon, she had withdrawn to the back of my mind. Countless times I attempted to reach out to her, but it was in vain as she refused to talk with me. Era also felt deceived by Elyon's wolf, who never bothered to give a clue about the Alpha family's true motives.‘Becca, pay close attention now. The man that just entered is going to be important for us in the future. There is a particular scent around him, I don’t know whether it is good or bad. Take no chances and present your best side, please’, she stressed. I tried to ask her for an explanation but the current circumstances required my full attention.Zane rose from the couch and tugged me along to confront the guest. The man resembled an older, yet still fit version of Zane with a striking mature look similar to that of a Hollywood A-lister, I think he gave off Clint Eastwood vibes. Then I promptly recogn

  • My Human Alpha Mate   Chapter 13 - A Good Start

    "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

    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,"

    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

    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
