My Possessive Alpha; His Reluctant Mate Chapter 43: Wining my mate back 1.
Yumi's POV.- “Alpha Drex-” “No! It wasn’t intentional!” He suddenly barks my way and I shriek, moving away with the startled kid. I pat her back while muttering soothing words to her to calm her down. Martha presses her head against my chest and fists my sweater in her tiny hands. “Like you said, it was a mistake. Besides, you met another, right?” I try to cheer him up nervously. That seems to have him calm down, but the sadness remains tainting his features and dimming his colour. “Alisa…was my second chance,” He says monotonously and breaks into a cold sweat at the cold aura he’s leaking. “I killed her…myself.” He what? “Hey…maybe you’re still blaming yourself for what happened to Rosalie-” I try to convince him otherwise, but his icy orbs fix on me with such intensity that I march back to bring more distance between us. “She just had to eavesdrop on a dark secret…and wanted to rat me out to Henry…so I had to do it and lied about her being attacked by rogues…” Henry? Did h
My Possessive Alpha; His Reluctant Mate Chapter 44: Wining my mate back 2.
Henry's POV.- Just when I thought it was over, I found myself lurking outside Yumi’s apartment building. I knew my plans had pulled off, but I just couldn’t wait any longer. So I came here. And behold! My mate came rushing out in such a desperate search, crying like she was afraid she might lose me forever. My chest tightened as I watched her, and then her frantic sad eyes looked over. Drawn to her like a magnet, I stood before her and my arms moved on their own to engulf her against my body. How much I missed her…missed us. Before now, I’ve never been threatened so lethally. That I could lose something so undeniably and enormously precious to me. I shook so hard as I embraced her as a cleansing bout of relief washed through me. Taking away all the pain, regret, and sadness. At that moment she announced being mine and responsively, I promised to my heart, mind, and soul, I would never be so foolish to let go of her nor give her the slip to let go of me ever again. “Hmmm…so beaut
My Possessive Alpha; His Reluctant Mate Chapter 45: Becoming His 1.
Yumi's POV.- “Henry!” I merely giggle in my sleep and hear a loud thud. Now my eyes snap open in alarm and I see blaring eyes boring into my head. “I thought I locked my door…how on earth did you get in?!” “Exactly. You ‘thought’. I got in through Mars, love.” I grin at her and she throws a pillow at my face, grumbling things to herself while she walks into her bathroom. I roll over to where she laid and bury my face deep into her pillow. Breathing in her scent and exhaling my rationality away. “I have a morning class by 9 a.m. Are you gonna be around till then? When should I speak to Alpha Ivanov?” Yumi enters the bedroom and I peel my face off her pillow. When our eyes meet, she gulps. Aw geez, I must look so lustfully dazed. I run a hand over my face, sitting up, and righting my facial expression. “I’ll stick around till you get back. You can talk to him then,” I tell her and she nods, moving to her big dresser and pulling out drawers to pick what to- “Can I have my privac
My Possessive Alpha; His Reluctant Mate Chapter 46: Becoming his 2.
Yumi's POV.- I feel warm hands on my shoulder shaking me awake. I grumble and scrunch my face as I swat it away. The sound of a low chuckle has me tensing for a moment, and I snap my eyes open. Are we there yet? I stare out the rolled-up window to see it’s around sunset, and then I look the other way to see beautiful, shimmering hazel slate-blues gleaming down at me. My heart literally stops and picks up insanely as unease raids my body, and I look away. “I bet you enjoyed your sleep. We’ve arrived”. Henry starts unstrapping his seat belt and I fret around nervously. I know I agreed so easily back there, but…I can’t. “I can’t.” Placing my hands on his arm anxiously, Henry looks at me, quirking a brow up. “What? You have to- Oh~” What’s with that slurry tone? I gulp tensely and he winks at me and steps out of the car. Stiffly, I do the same while wondering what he must have up his sleeve. The Pack members walking around gasp when they see me and I manage a small smile and a light
My Possessive Alpha; His Reluctant Mate Chapter 47: Welcome In 1.
Yumi's POV.- He did comply with my request. Now that we’re starting afresh to rebuild our relationship, it’s essential we get to know each other. But…I wasn’t expecting to be trapped in this position with him. Straddling him on his thighs and worse, facing him as he’s sitting on the furnished wooden floor. “So…your cousins are the ones running the other Packs as Alphas, right?” “Yeah…but I’m the main Alpha on top and they all report back to me. That doesn’t mean they’re forced to bow before my feet. Alphas don’t joke with their pride,” Henry replies while caressing my face gently. “That must mean you must all share the same Pack link, huh? And the wolves are free to live wherever and freely move in and out of each other’s boundaries right?” I posit curiously. He nods his head and looks up into my eyes as he rubs my cheek fondly with a warm expression on his lit face. “I’ve got eight male cousins in total and five female ones. I’m the third eldest of the males and from the main f
My Possessive Alpha; His Reluctant Mate Chapter 48: Welcome In 2.
Henry's POV.- I fall into bed right the moment the walk-in closet door creaks open and Yumi’s head peeks out to see if I’ve fallen asleep. I pretend to be doing so as I keep my eyelids hooded and partially shut. But she can’t see that from the distance she’s at. Come to me, baby...I bite down the urge to chuckle as I see her through my partial vision tiptoeing out carefully, in my clean boxer shorts and short-sleeve top. So simple, but damn gorgeous! When she slides into bed and is about to shut her eyes, in a sporadic movement, I bound up against her. “Henry…let go.” Her weak voice comes out again, attempting to sound firm, but I only squeeze her the more, humming in the negative and she groans. I nuzzle her exposed neck slowly, causing goosebumps to wake along my teasing trail. “How do you feel, spending the night with me like this?” I ask with a smirk and hear her huff, her tension deflating considerably. Not yet as relaxed as I need her to be, but I can do with this for now.
My Possessive Alpha; His Reluctant Mate Chapter 49: Heartfelt.
Henry's POV.- I can’t do this, I mustn’t. At once, I vacate the bed and disappear behind the bathroom door. By the time I return to the bedroom, I find my mate standing by the large windows. The white linen curtains float about her, giving me glimpses of her tranquil form as she gazes softly out the window with her arms crossed and her side leaning against the frame. I reach out to her through our private mind-link as I step away from the bathroom door. ‘Yumi?’ She regards me slowly and manages a smile as she averts her gaze back. Something feels off with her mood. Is she cross with me for earlier? ‘I’m not mad at you,’ Her voice debunks quickly, and she adds distractedly, ‘I was only recalling something.’ I don’t like the sound of her voice. She sounds regrettable, making my tension return as I zip in behind her and gently recall her frame back into the soothing wrap of my arms. I rest my chin on her head and growl with disapproval. “Are you thinking of Alistair?” I question, e
My Possessive Alpha; His Reluctant Mate Chapter 50: I Belong To My Alpha.
Yumi's POV.- Haa...I don’t think it stings so much that I might need him to carry me. So I shake my head languidly as he squeezes my hands. “You stay here with everyone. I’ll call you when I need you,” I assure him with a smile as I lean up, biting down a wince to peck his cheek. Henry reluctantly hums and I smile once more before letting my hands slip from his as I catch my dress once more along my departure, ensuring to dodge as many eager well-wishers as possible. - - Free from all the ecstatic merriment and blasting music, I sigh with fatigue slouching my shoulders as I come before the bathroom mirror. Staring into the mirror, my breath catches with awe to meet gazes with the Queen staring back at me. Henry flaunted his wealth in such a bedazzling burst for our wedding. My wedding dress was a fitting silver dress that flowed in very attractive silver waves, running over the floor in a length of ten feet. It had real diamond jewels stuck all around the v-neck, the intricate f

“That settles it,” I let out a sigh as I lean back against the backrest, stretching and flexing my arms before I rise from my seat. I wonder if Weslee must’ve woken by now.Searching around with my eyes briefly, I smile when they fall upon a heartwarming sight. They’ve fallen asleep again. Don’t think I’ll be able to stop by the grocery store. I step around my desk and walk towards the kids asleep on the couch, with temples pressed against each other and their school bags on their thighs. Bending forward a little, I tap their cheeks gently to rouse them up. “Heather, Zachery, wake up. It’s time to go home.” “I wasn’t able to finish my lunch at recess. Can I eat it on the way?” Heather chirps as I buckle her seatbelt before buckling that of her younger brother. “Okay, honey.” She beams at me as I ruffle her dark bangs and step back to shut the door so I can get in and drive over to her older brothers’ school. There’s no need to pick up Yohan since his grandma already did. I watch t
My Possessive Alpha; His Reluctant Mate Chapter 73: Resplendent Warmth.
Yumi's POV.- He’s not so surprisingly, an oddly familiar face. I suppose it’s because I’ve seen a few old photos to recognize him right away. And also, I avert my gaze slowly to the passenger side of the car and smile widely at the exit of his female partner. My mate moves immediately, unable to mask the sheer surprise that explodes onto his face as he swiftly approaches them. “Bloody hell, Aniki...” He sighs in a smiling voice. “I know Henry said they were gonna delay a bit, but he never mentioned you were the ones coming with them.” The attractive man hardens his expression upon Henry’s statement as they now stand before each other. Will you look at the looks on their faces? A cold standoff, really? “Um, Yumi...shouldn’t you do something about this?” Eliza nudges me and I turn to look at her and find her pensive. I huff and return my gaze along my response, “I’m sure it’s nothing serious.” Yeah, ‘cause right now, both men break the false tension to embrace each other with lau
My Possessive Alpha; His Reluctant Mate Chapter 72: Pups Everywhere!
Yumi's POV.- “Hardin! Get your brothers down for breakfast!” I yell from where I’m standing at the foot of the stairs. Hands akimbo while I wait to hear his response before returning to the kitchen. “Coming, mommy!” His response comes shortly after with the sound of a door slamming, and I shake my head as I turn around to return to my station where my 7-year-old daughters are. Marian and Marina are twins we adopted 5 years ago. We had rescued them from a fire that claimed the lives of their family and took them in since they knew no one and had no relatives. They’re human kids who attended my kindergarten and now, they’re my added joy. Both identical girls are adorned with reddish-brown curly long hair and sea-green eyes. Ever enthusiastic and inquisitive kids who love to help me out with every chore around the house. I smile and join them to set the long dining table just when the boys come running in. “Stop right there!” I halt the bustling little crowd with a hand out. Hardin
My Possessive Alpha; His Reluctant Mate Chapter 71: The Alpha's Insecurity.
Yumi's POV.- “Don’t even think about it. Put that down- Now.” Henry glares threateningly at me and my hand quivers. He’s so scary. Solemnly looking into the big bowl of chocolate ice cream with a broken heart, I let the plastic spoon drop back in. I put on my puppy eyes, but he’s quick to dodge the shot and moves over the threshold. “Don’t let me catch you in this act again. I’ll be waiting outside”. Always so cold and stringent. I pout and depart from my precious bowl. I know why he’s being this way. Carrying our second baby, he’s being reminded of our first child we lost over a year ago. So he’s worn this sense of pensive responsibility over himself and is trying to protect me and prevent all odds. I can understand…I was equally hurt too. But…can’t you trust me, Henry? When I step out of the mansion, I’m met with the sight of my mate, exercising his alpha prowess, barking commands, and ordering reports. Henry…I suck in a slow breath, flattening a protective hand over my protr
My Possessive Alpha; His Reluctant Mate Chapter 70: Your Eyes Tell 2.
Henry's POV.- “Hey, little brother.” I approach him and he frowns at me. He hates it when I call him that and it’s all fun for me. “Busy these days, huh? Haven’t seen you much lately. Pack issues?” I try to take a roundabout way about it and he nods softly, “Yeah”. “Rogues?” His aura shifts and so do his mood and expression. Maybe Martins was right in the end. The stiff look on his face says it all. “What is she to you?” I press forward, taking on a serious tone and he lowers his gaze, brows furrowing and I know he’s reluctant to tell me. I can only marvel in surprise. This is rather new and unexpected. I smirk inwardly, this might be interesting. Liam’s now keeping things from me. She must be special. I tap him on the shoulder. “No need to look all cryptic. Come on, dinner's about to start without us”. He only nods with a hum and proceeds ahead of me as I watch after him. If my guess is right, things are getting interesting here. “You stuff all of that into your mouth? Amazing
My Possessive Alpha; His Reluctant Mate Chapter 69: A Family Dinner.
Henry's POV.- I chuckle lowly, a palm over my mouth so I don’t let the sounds out as I watch her in utter amusement. Yumi shoots an arm out of the blanket-roll she’s trapped herself in. Like an undead rising into life, her other hand shoots out and she moves in breaking attempts to lift her body off the bed. “Hen…ry.” Even her voice cracks like she’s just awakening from several years of slumber as half of her body emerges successfully from the blanket-roll. The sight is funny as she looks like a kebab roll. Ah…my thoughts are getting glazed over again. ‘Buttercup,’ She mind-links me and I smirk, defiantly moving from watching her to going to her aid. I come to stand next to the bed with my hands in the pockets of my sweatpants as I stare down at her, adoration coloring my vision. She twists her body so that she’s brought to lie on her back as she lets out a lengthy yawn, stretching her arms sideways with her eyes momentarily shutting. When she brings her eyes open, they give me
My Possessive Alpha; His Reluctant Mate Chapter 68: Your eyes tell 1.
Yumi's POV.- “He was rescued by a member of Alpha Delano’s Pack and had been with him ever since, receiving treatment. The Alpha himself only recently found out and waited for him to heal first. After finding out his identity, they sent him here immediately”. I listen to Kendal’s explanation whilst the tears coating my eyes. Pushing a smile through to my face as I cry the words, “Bryan…I thought we lost you”. I vacate my spot beside Henry to reach for Bryan who receives my hands that squeezes his tightly as relief bathes through me. With a better smile, I say with warmth and gratitude, “Thank the goddess that you’re okay.” Then I avert my gaze a bit to smile at Eliza who steps closer, nodding at me as she clumsily wipes the tears from her cheeks. With Bryan’s miraculous return, it all just falls into place. I’ve got my friends, family, and the whole Pack…I couldn’t be any more grateful than I am right now. Thinking I can recline back to relax a bit, Zana and Zainab are quick to

Yumi's POV-“You’re a very selfish woman, Yumi…and I deeply pity myself…I fell in love with such a self-conceited woman….”He spits out with disdain and my already broken heart shatters into uncountable pieces. On an impulse, I dash toward him.My hands embrace him as I speak up in defense of myself.“No…no Henry. Don’t say that please…I…I was afraid…I failed you…I failed him…I failed me…I failed us…and I couldn’t keep him safe and alive….” I pour out and he just shuts his eyes, biting his lip as he remains still.I go on talking. “I didn’t mean to…it never occurred to me you were in so much pain…I’m sorry”.“It’s because you only keep thinking about none but yourself! You…you…made me regret us…” He strains, eyes open and lost.I shake my head desperately. God, I have wronged this man. He loves me to a fault and yet…all I do is bring him pain.But I won’t leave. I love him. I will show it to him…I won’t lose him.We can get through this…I have been blinded by myself and all I could se
My Possessive Alpha; His Reluctant Mate Chapter 66: Regrets and patch up 1.
Yumi's POV-“I’m sorry, Luna…we lost the baby”. The deluge of drowsiness playing me disappears in an instant and I feel everything in me collapse.At first, I’m quiet and the next second, I break into a hysteria. Screaming and shouting…unable to bear the weight of this excruciating pain. Then I’m held down by the nurses as the doctor injects me. They let go just when everyone starts coming in and my vision sways and blurs. I fall asleep.On my waking, I refuse all who come to see me and refuse to talk to anyone. Especially not to my mate. The one I’ve failed the most.“Your medication is here, Luna,” The blonde nurse says to me and I turn my neck to thank her.“Thanks,” I say in a shallow voice, feeling more depressed now. The Doctor walks in and she leaves after making sure I take my meds.He’s come to discuss with me about my uterus. I look at him who shares a look of improbability and I sigh, knowing what it is. “I see….”“But there’s a chance of healing. When it’s fully healed, y
