Chapter 56: Location Compromised
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56For the first time, at least since my stay here, Enzo had gathered everybody at the camp in the courtyard. Dylan and I stood at the front of the crowd, our fingers interlocked together. All eyes stared up at the red-eyed werewolf as he stood on stacked crates to create a makeshift platform. I could vaguely hear whispers behind me, most likely confused and calculating at what his next words would be. Lance then emerged from a room, in his arms a huge box of burner phones, and walked towards Enzo's right. He stood in attention.
The winter breeze blew harsher than usual that night. If it weren't for this gathering, we would have been tucked warmly into our blankets while sipping on a hot bowl of mushroom soup that James would prepare for the entire camp. But here we are, surviving on the warmth from the firepit at the center of the courtyard.With my free hand, I tightened the scarf around my neck."What's going on?" I tiptoed and whispered to Dylan. I began to get scared at wRelated chapters

"This place is actually much nicer than I thought," I said as I walked into our reserved room, courtesy by Enzo, and observed its facilities. "I thought this was supposed to be an inn."There was a kitchenette by the entrance, complete with common appliances and a breakfast bar for two, that leads out into a sitting area and a king-sized bed by the window at the end of the room. This was more like a studio apartment than an inn.Dylan walked behind me and was obviously amazed at the room as well. He opened the closet and stuffed our duffle bags in there. We didn't have a lot of clothes so our bags seemed pathetically small in that cabinet. "I guess we're Bennet's favorites, huh?"I shook my oversized sneakers off of my feet, threw them into a corner by the doorway, and ran towards the bed to fall backwards into the clean sheets. The makeshift bed that was provided for me at the camp was comfortable but real mattresses just give a different and better kind of snu
My Mate is the Alpha Chapter 58: A Visitor They Least Expected
Per Dr. Johnson's instructions, I positioned myself on the examination table situated beside a machine that I could only safely assume was used for getting an ultrasound. I looked out through the glass that separated the doctor's office from the room I was in and saw Dylan and Dr. Johnson having quite a serious conversation. Suddenly feeling nervous, I brought up my hands to feel my growing abdomen on my palms.A few moments later, they finally entered the room and the doctor put his professional smile back on, most likely sensing my discomfort at the situation. Dylan moved to stand beside me, squeezing my hand as Dr. Johnson began prepping the machine."Just relax," he said to me, the corners of his lips tugging up into an affectionate smile despite mirroring the same anxiety in his golden eyes. He then leaned in and planted a soft kiss on my forehead. "You'll be fine."I nodded. "Okay."I was told to lie down and lift my sweatshirt to reveal my pregnancy. Dr. Johnson t
My Mate is the Alpha Chapter 59: Alive?
Dylan held my hand and pulled me behind him. Then, through gritted teeth, he said, "How'd you find us and how the f*ck are you still alive, Amelia Crawford?"Instead of replying, she looked at me. It wasn't just because she was a lot taller than I was, but the moment her gaze landed on me, I trembled and felt small. As much as I hate to admit it, I sunk into my pajamas and cowered behind Dylan. He immediately noticed my discomfort and moved to put himself in her line of sight.I grasped the hem of his shirt tightly. "So it's her, huh?" she said with a somehow devilish grin. She then tilted her head a little to meet Dylan's eyes. "It's the girl you're thinking of while kissing me."My fingers tightened around the fabric of his shirt as I felt something squeeze my chest. I was confused about whether I should feel flattered or hurt or jealous. The unpleasant mix of emotions left a bitter aftertaste in my mouth. It was also exasperating how she was talking about me like some kind of an ob
My Mate is the Alpha Chapter 60: Back Into Action
A few more days have passed since Amelia Crawford's unexpected visit.My back pains continued to manifest more and more each day as my stomach swelled, throwing off my center of gravity by much. It was odd how quickly it was growing and how the changes within a short period of time were incredibly noticeable at a glance. Because of this, Dylan has been stubbornly insisting on doing everything for me—even giving me a bath on days that I failed to persuade him not to. Although, I did like the extra attention if I were being honest.Thus, besides my pregnancy, our days have been pretty much uneventful.Or at least that was the case for us.Having a television meant having easy access to current news instantly. Riots were still rampant all over the country while businesses handled by packs who lost their leaders were still struggling with getting back on their feet. Enzo has also probably branched out to different cities with his agenda, distributing free silver
My Mate is the Alpha Chapter 61: Crawford Meets Bennet
"Bennet, talk to me."Dylan, upon realizing that we were staring at him in curiosity, sighed and put the call on speaker while holding the phone up for everyone in the room to hear. "Where are you?" Enzo's voice echoed, devoid of any hint of his usual haughtiness. "Isabella's with you, right?"He glanced at me and nodded. "Yeah, she's with me. We're taking shelter at doc's clinic.""Good good. Stay there, Lance will come to get you in a bit.""Where are we going?""It's time to move," there was no explanation but we seemed to all know exactly what he was trying to say. "The doctor is coming with us. Isabella is due soon if I'm not mistaken.""Yeah.""See you at the airport.""Wait, what do you mean—"The phone cut off without warning and Dylan cursed under his breath before crushing the burner phone with his bare hand per protocol. I dropped my gaze to stare at my lap while fiddling with my fingers. Just when I thought that we got to take a break for a while, things like this happen.
My Mate is the Alpha Chapter 62: Heartless As Ever
The sun began to peek through the horizon, bathing the city in a golden early morning glow that reminded me of Dylan's eyes. I've never really taken a moment to simply admire the sunrise so I didn't realize until now how mesmerizing it was to witness the city slowly waking up as it went higher up in the sky. It was such a shame that instead of seeing the usual bustle in this part of the city, my eyes only caught sight of the aftermath of the rampage that went on the night before.As the birds chirped along the nearly deserted sidewalks, I peeled my gaze off of the road, disturbed by the bodies that were laying on the ground. There were brownish spots on the pavement—most likely dried blood. I often saw someone flinch but most of them just laid motionlessly.All these were happening because of some stupid social class division that we made for ourselves, but once they were all devoid of life, it was barely possible to tell which was a human or a werewolf.
My Mate is the Alpha Chapter 63: Emergency
"Take this in case you feel dizzy during the flight," Dr. Johnson told me while handing a bottle of presumably motion sickness medicine towards me in which I took gratefully with a small nod. "It's safe for pregnant women, but as much as possible, try avoiding taking one.""Got it."Dr. Johnson then walked back to his seat and immediately continued to type something furiously on his laptop as he had been doing before he came over to me to hand some medicine. I placed the bottle on the compartment on my seat's armrest where drinks were supposed to go. Dylan turned to me, concern evidently etched on his face, before reaching out a hand and resting his palm on my forehead."You good?" he asked. "You should drink more water if you're feeling motion sick."I shook my head as I replied, "I'm okay. I feel a lot better than I expected I would."I held his hand and pulled it away from my forehead to bring it to my mouth to plant a soft kiss on his knuckles. Oddly enough, it wa
My Mate is the Alpha Chapter 64: Dylan POV (6)
Dylan couldn't help but shake his leg in anxiety as he looked at the passing buildings through the tinted windows. His eyes feasted on the sight of the aftermath of even worse riots and rampages at the capital, but his mind wandered off to his mate."I should be over there," he mumbled to himself before biting his lower lip so hard that it bled. His nails dug into his palms as he clenched his hands into fists. "I shouldn't leave her alone like this."Dr. Johnson, with the help of the cabin crew, had set up a makeshift operating room at the aircraft since transporting Isabella to a proper medical facility was too risky, considering that her pregnancy was a little out of ordinary in the first place. He insisted to stay and wait until the surgery was over but Enzo convinced him at it would be better to make use of that time instead to plan out the attack properly.Dylan thought that the sooner it was over, the sooner he could come back to Isabella…and his child.

My Mate is the Alpha Epilogue
Felix watched the cherry blossom trees through the window. A book that he was supposed to read sat on his lap, but the last thing he wanted to do was study. The weather seemed too nice to spend the day doing something as exhausting as studying. If his tutor would allow him so, he would’ve run out to the grassy field outside and laid down as pink petals rain over him while he admired the clear skies. He heard the door creak open and he failed to suppress his groan. Begrudgingly, he took his book and opened it to a random page to pretend that he had been doing what he was supposed to be doing all this time. “It’s been a while.” He looked up from the page he was staring at and found Addie hovering by the doorway. She was wearing a dress and light makeup while a small smile hung on her lips. It was his first time seeing her in a couple of months, and in such garb at that! Felix let his book fall onto the floor as he jumped out of his seat to run to her. A

“So, you’re still not over that plan of yours to convince humans to cooperate with us?” Addie questioned Enzo with a raised eyebrow. She sighed and leaned against the backrest of her chair. “I thought we were going to use the high-security personnel? They don’t hire humans for that.” “You see, that security team’s strength is in numbers,” the werewolf began to explain. “They are excellent individually, of course. But their strength is amplified by much because they work as a single unit.” “And so?” “Dylan. Ash. Ethan,” he said as he raised a finger for each name before pointing a thumb at himself. “And me. We’re going to be taking them on one-by-one, as much as we can.” Felix gasped in amazement. “Wow, really?” “Yes. Then…” he leaned towards the table, pressing his palms against it for support. His red eyes glinted with mischief, just as it always did whenever he comes up with an idea he’s confi

Addie took a cautious step back into the hut. At the opposite corner of the room, she found her father sitting on the floor with his hands handcuffed behind him. She expected Felix to at least land a punch, but surprisingly, Mr. Barlowe was unscathed. She wasn’t certain whether Felix being able to overwhelm her father by his pheromones alone was frightening or impressive. The scent of familiar pheromones still lingered in the air, but it wasn’t enough to make it difficult to breathe. To her right, she saw Felix opening a window to air out the room. She then removed her helmet and goggles to properly meet his gaze. “Hey,” he said with a small smile. With a tilt of his head, he gestured towards Mr. Barlowe who was sitting silently in the corner. “If you want to talk to him, you should do so before he passes out.” That’s when Addie realized that Felix had deliberately avoided leaving any noticeable injury on her father out of consideration for her. She smiled ba

Addie realized that it became easier to breathe. Her lungs didn’t burn and the lightheadedness was gone. She took a deep breath and true enough, Felix had stopped emitting his pheromones. He was only a half-blood but his pheromones could easily overwhelm full-blooded werewolves. She shuddered to think about just how strong his father, Dylan Hayes, was. “Do you feel better now?” Felix looked up at her, his eyes back to their ordinarily dark hue. Without the golden eyes, his features were prominently Isabella’s. “Yes. Thank you.” Then, they pulled away from the hug. He thought about how nice it felt while it lasted and was guilty for thinking that his sudden pheromone outburst had at least amounted to something. Felix grabbed his goggles and helmet that were left abandoned on the dirty floor moments prior to put them back on. But just when he was about to, Addie spoke. “About earlier…” His hands froze and he felt her gaze on him, but for some re

It had only been a few months but the nostalgia hit Felix harder than he expected. It was difficult to properly look at the familiar poorly maintained streets and shanties through the dark tint of the van windows and his oversized goggles as they drove through. There were a bunch of stalls and carts set up on either side of the road, just as it always did at this time of the year. Though many were still skeptical about the whole werewolf-human coexistence propaganda, it had become a tradition to treat the presidential visit in the outskirts as some kind of a festival. Some stalls had a display of an assortment of homemade delicacies while others advertised fun games. Felix remembered running around the neighborhood as a child with a few loose change in his pocket. All the games and food made him excited so James would make him wear contact lenses despite his protests. When he grew older, they would have their own business set up on the road instead of celebrating. Ei

“It might snow today.” Felix turned to his right and found Addie. She had her head tilted up to join him in staring at the night sky. Thick, gray clouds made it impossible to see a single star. “Seems so.” “You nervous?” She craned her neck to meet his gaze. He should’ve felt embarrassed to be caught staring, but he kept the eye contact, letting himself drown into her now -familiar silvery eyes. Addie stared back, a small smile slowly making its way to her lips, “You’re nervous.” “Does it show?” “Yes,” Addie held up a hand to cup his face. Gently, she grazed his cheekbone with her thumb. “Your eyes turned yellow again.” She had her hair up into a ponytail and he wondered whether the cold wasn’t bothering her at all, so his gaze trailed down to her red ears then to her bare neck. Wordlessly, he took off his scarf and wrapped it around her. She seemed to be surprised at the gesture but grateful nonetheless. It was the scarf his mother ha

Isabella’s bullet wound had reduced into an almost-scar. There was still some noticeable redness and swelling on her skin, but she already regained full mobility on her right arm. Nonetheless, when she decided to finally get out of bed that morning, Dylan insisted on assisting her. Despite finding his concern flattering, she couldn’t help but get slightly annoyed at the exaggeration of it all. Craning her head to her left, she cocked a brow at her lover who had a strong arm snaked around her waist to support half of her body weight as she walked. “Dylan, my injury is on my shoulder. Even if my wound isn’t healed yet, I can still walk just fine on my own.” It took a few weeks for his pheromones to heal her wound as the bullet was lodged quite deeply into her flesh, almost penetrating through her back. But for a human, that was already more than impressive. “But…” he looked back at her with a frown and an adorable subtle pout. “What if you fall and hit

“You should live on without me.” Dylan’s voice echoed in her ears, drowning out the sound of the breeze blowing and the curtains flapping. Amidst her shock, she only had enough strength to slowly shake her head and say, “No. I-I don’t want to.” “Without my pheromones, the first few months would be difficult,” he smiled wider as he explained, but the bitterness in it and in his voice was still evident. “But since you’re human, your body can adjust to it slowly.” No, that’s not what I meant, she thought. Tears blurred her vision, and the painful lump in her throat didn’t allow her voice to come out. Isabella wanted to argue or move to embrace him and keep him from leaving. How can I live without you? He cupped her face and wiped away her tears with a thumb. His touch was gentle…too gentle. It felt as if he was paranoid about bruising her skin again. “After all, this bond wasn’t meant to happen in the first place.” His

The sound of the gates creaking open gave Isabella the strength to snap out of her fear and push Lucas away. She spotted a familiar figure standing by the gates through her peripheral view and she swore she felt her heart drop to her stomach right then. Slowly, she turned her head and, true enough, Dylan was right there, out of breath and shooting daggers at Lucas with his dark eyes. Lucas, confused and annoyed at the interference, followed her line of vision and found the werewolf standing a few yards away from where they sat. He sighed and stood up, returning the same menace he was giving him. “I assume your Isabella’s husband?” “D-Dylan…” Lucas briefly looked at her past his shoulder before scoffing at him. “‘Dylan’? I heard people around here call you ‘Kent’.” Dylan didn’t bother replying. He turned his gaze to Isabella, who remained frozen in fear on her blanket, and took brisk steps towards her. He noticed how her eyes darkened with his every st
