Stella–POV

"To your disappointment, I didn't kill your husband, Kellan," Kayden said, meeting my gaze. I wasn't sure whether to trust his words or take his confession at face value. "I see you don't trust me."

"It's not that, Kayden, I mean—" I stuttered.

"You can be honest with me, Stella. I don't mind. If I were in your shoes, having lost someone I love and sitting across from a suspect who could be a killer, and given that I am a wolf, an enemy to Lycan after all, I wouldn't trust my enemy either," Kayden spoke as if he could read my mind.

"I guess you know why I'm here then," I said.

"I do. The moment you walked in, I knew," Kayden replied.

"How can you be so good at reading people?" I asked, suspicion tinting my voice. "Maybe someone told you what my intentions are." I considered the possibility of a spy in the Lycan pack sharing details with Kayden. Kayden just smirked at my remark.

"What will make you believe I have no spy in the Lycan pack? Besides, I can somewhat read thought

    Stella -POVI sat in the police station, still reeling from the gruesome sight of my parents' bodies. An officer handed me a warm cup of coffee. "We need to ask you a few questions," he said. I nodded, ready to answer. I had been sitting there for over an hour with Damon and Kayden steadfastly by my side."Can we accompany Stella during the questioning?" Damon asked."No, sir. As per protocol, Ms. Stella must be questioned alone," the officer replied. Damon looked like he wanted to argue, but I gestured for him to remain silent. I followed the officer into another room."Ms. Stella, my name is Officer Edric," a new figure introduced himself as he entered the interrogation room. His honey-colored eyes caught mine, a unique and striking feature. As he sat down, his strong arms and biceps flexed unintentionally. He began reading a document before him, occasionally rubbing his sharp jawline, and then met my gaze."Stella, according to your neighbors, you recently moved back in with your p

    Stella – POVI clutched the bracelet tightly and settled into the Queen Suite Damon had reserved for me. Since I couldn't return to the Lycan Pack as per officer, I had to stay in the city. Damon, insisting on security, also stayed in my room. Kayden, however, refused to be elsewhere. He argued with Damon, demanding to stay with me. As my mate, Kayden, claimed equal rights to protect me. His logic silenced Damon's protests. Exhausted, I didn't intervene in their argument. The bracelet consumed my thoughts–Kellan's bracelet. Why was it at my parents' house? I tried to recall if Kellan had worn this bracelet when his body was brought from the morgue, but grief clouded my memory."Here, have some food," Damon offered, entering my room."I'm not hungry," I replied."You still need to eat for your baby," he insisted. Sighing, I agreed, realizing he was right. I ate and drank water, then took the meditation pills the Lycan doctor prescribed for my unusual pregnancy."Did you notice any wolf

    Stella - POVI left the room with a plan to corner Kayden and talk to him, determined to hear the truth. Everyone was asleep as I entered Kayden's room, entering without knocking. Kayden, just out of the shower, was surprised to see me. I tried not to stare at his half-naked frame, which was usually distracting, but my grief was too overwhelming for that."You look angry," Kayden observed."I am," I replied. "I'm upset with you.""Why? What did I do?" he asked, closing the distance between us."You're hiding things from me," I said, then fell silent. "Are you reading my thoughts to find a reason?" I asked, noticing his quietness and the intense focus in his eyes."No, I don’t want to invade your privacy since you don’t trust me," Kayden responded."That's right, I don’t. Because you're keeping secrets from me," I retorted."I'm not," he insisted."Fine, then. I thought I should allow this mate bond to see where it leads, but it ends here. I don't want you around me anymore," I declare

    Kayden – POVI stepped into the pack's main hall, feeling the weight of my mother's worried gaze. "Is it true that Macoy has been captured?" she asked, her voice tinged with concern."Yes, it's true, Mom," I replied, striding past her toward the mansion to reach my office.As I was about to enter, Beta Harris called out, "Alpha Kayden." I paused, turning to see Harris, my mother, and a group of pack members gathered, all wearing expressions of worry and uncertainty."What's our plan, Alpha? Our kind is being captured by humans. What should we do?" one pack member asked, his voice filled with urgency.I took a deep breath. "I'm going to free Macoy and bring him back here as a prisoner," I declared.My mother's voice quivered as she asked, "What has my Macoy done to deserve this?"Before I could respond, my father joined us, placing a supportive hand on my shoulder. "Elora, surely your son must have done something wrong for Kayden to make such a decision," he said, trying to ease her di

    Stella – POVI stood before the mirror, admiring my handiwork. The dress clung to me perfectly, like a second skin. My pixie haircut had grown out, revealing the natural brown of my hair beneath the blonde. Glancing at the clock, I realized I was running late."Ms. Stella," a maid entered my room, "Mr. Kayden is waiting for you downstairs.""I'll be right there," I replied, grabbing my clutch and descending the staircase. Kayden and Damon, both impeccably suited, watched me approach. I could feel the intensity of their gazes, mainly Damon's. Still, I focused on Kayden, whose amber eyes sparkled with awe."You leave me speechless, Stella," Kayden remarked, extending his hand. He kissed my back as I placed mine in his, sending me a fluttering sensation. "I knew this dress would suit you, but you've made it look even more radiant, like moonlight."I blushed at his words. "You look quite handsome yourself," I said, smiling.June's voice interrupted us. "Oh, look at the new lovebirds, so u

  • Their Human Mate Stella   Alpha Altair - Chapter 18

    Stella – POV"Oh, Cousin! How are you? Long time no see," Alpha Altair exclaimed, his grin broad, while Damon maintained a blank expression."Indeed, it has been a while," Damon replied calmly, extending his hand to meet Alpha Altair's."You always wear such a cold expression; haven't changed a bit," Alpha Altair observed, his smile unsettling as his golden orbs met mine. "And who might this be?" His sniffing seemed odd to me."A human, but pregnant with a Lycan child. You must be the wife of my other twin cousin, Kellan," he deduced with a smile that held no sorrow for his deceased cousin. His casual mention of Kellan hinted at a lack of respect."You should get going, Altair," Damon interjected."Not just yet, cousin. I need to meet this lovely lady. Is she your second-chance mate? Did June leave you?" Alpha Altair inquired, his smile persistent."Sorry to disappoint you, but I am still with Damon," June announced, stepping beside Damon and intertwining her hand with his, which he g

    Damon – POVJune sat quietly next to me, and I felt Julie's glare before we hopped into the car. She was upset with me, and I don't blame her. I saw a hurt and betrayed look in Stella's gaze, wondering if she would come to the Lycan pack."We have to get her back to the Pack," my wolf Rider hissed at me in a possessive tone. I had to calm my wolf, as he was overly protective of Stella, though she was just a family member, not my mate."Rider, shut it," I snapped, and he growled."Seems like you're having a headache," June's sweet voice brought my attention back as we neared home."Of course, dealing with Altair, who tried to ruin things and left the party, tarnishing Alpha Damon's character," Dexter added in annoyance. A sigh escaped my lips in response."What about Stella? Wasn't she humiliated, not knowing Kellan's brother cast Kellan out of the Pack?" Julie defended Stella, making my remorse worse. I harbored many secrets, unsure if Stella would accept them given her current state.

    Stella – POV"You lied to me, Stella," Damon accused. I blinked, his face portraying emotions challenging to decipher."What do you mean?" I asked, confusion etched across my face. His expression was so inscrutable, making it hard to catch my breath. Before he could respond, Kayden pulled me to his side, and I realized I had been standing too close to Damon. Kayden's jealousy was evident, but quickly masked."We are going home, Stella," Damon declared."What? I told you I would return after checking on the wolf pack," I reminded him."Damon, you heard her. I will drop by the Lycan Pack in a few hours," Kayden interjected calmly. Yet, I sensed something was amiss, given the toughness of his composure."Do you want me to keep Stella with you when your brother killed her parents?" Damon's words left me dumbfounded, and Kayden looked at me to check if I had told Damon about this, but he turned to meet Damon's face. "Oh, so you knew Stella, didn't you?" Damon confronted me, and guilt washe

    **Stella – POV**“Sorry, I meant this date,” Damon said, looking uncharacteristically nervous. I smiled, feeling a bit confused—I'd never seen him like this before. He was always so confident. “I want to ask you… would you be my girlfriend?”“Why are you smiling?” he asked.“It’s just… it’s cute to see you nervous,” I replied, my heart fluttering as he placed his hand on mine. “Yes, I’ll be your girlfriend.”“I never thought confessing my feelings would be this hard,” he admitted.“You haven’t fully confessed yet,” I whispered, glancing away. Damon stood up and walked toward me, his presence looming as he hovered close.“I love you, Stella,” he said, gently kissing the back of my hand. I cupped his face between my palms, searching his eyes.“I thought you didn’t love me. Why did you keep your distance for six months?” I asked, my voice tinged with frustration.“I wanted to give you time—to see if these feelings you have for me would fade,” he explained. I blinked, taken aback by his wo

The lycan pack members have gradually come to terms with my presence, and after Olivia’s birth, they seem more ecstatic and content, as if they now feel secure knowing there’s someone to take over the pack as Alpha after Damon.I pass by the market to buy some apples, planning to make a pie for Julie—she needs some cheering up. Since Julie is visiting her parents now that the threat has diminished, I hope her parents will be happy, and that Julie will have the courage to speak the truth about the shifter world. I’m sure they won’t believe it at first, but she wants to be honest and not hide anything, especially since she plans to marry Dexter and stay with the pack. I’m surprised Damon allowed Julie to talk about the existence of lycans.“Here you go,” Vendor said with a smile, but before I could pay, she declined to take money from me.“Luna, we don’t take money from royalty.

"Damon," I said as he gave me a small smile, rubbing the back of his head with his hand."How are you and the baby?" he asked. "Have you named her yet?""Not yet," I whispered. Seeing Damon speak kindly, rather than coldly like during our last conversation, filled the room with tension. I could feel it between us."Why not?""I'm confused about what to name her. I need some suggestions to finalise one." I didn’t tell him I was waiting for him so I could name our daughter in front of him."Tell me the names you like." I looked at my baby girl. During my time with Kellan, we had decided on a name together."Well, I'm not confused anymore. I know what to name her." Damon looked at me. "Olivia," I whispered. A warm smile spread across my face as I watched Olivia accept the name with a small clap."Beautiful name," Damon whispered, standing next to my

    Damon - POVThe infirmary buzzed with activity as injured soldiers filled every corner, leaving the doctors with their hands full. I cradled an unconscious Stella in my arms, desperately urging a doctor to prioritise her over the soldiers. My anxiety made me pace back and forth. Julie and Dexter, visibly worn out and bandaged, stood nearby. From the emergency room, a painful moan echoed—the doctors and nurses were working frantically to save Stella. Every sound of her pain tightened the grip around my heart.“Stella is strong; she’ll get through this,” Julie reassured me. I nodded, though worry still gnawed at me. Dexter handed me a towel to cover my exposed body, which I wrapped around myself. Then, hearing another sharp cry from Stella, I couldn’t stand it any longer walked into the emergency room. The doctors and nurses didn’t stop me; they seemed to understand my need to be there. Stella was conscious but in tremendous pain, giving birth. I stayed close, gently brushing her arm, t

    Stella–POVI aimed my power at Mia, striking her squarely. She staggered back from the impact, collapsing to the ground, unmoving. My legs wobbled, but I pushed myself to keep walking. Kayden and Damon shifted back to their human forms. Fully aware of Damon andKayden's naked frames. I couldn’t help but steal a quick glance at Damon. Shaking off my dirty thoughts, I focused back on the battle, blaming my raging hormones for the distraction.“Don’t approach her. Let me check,” Damon said, grabbing my wrist and stopping me in my tracks.Kayden and Damon walked ahead cautiously. Kayden kicked Mia to see if she was moving, but Damon didn’t like the way he treated her. Before Damon could say anything, I watched as they both transformed back into wolves. An explosion sent their half-shifted forms flying away from Mia, who stood back up. Her eyes were darker now, dark powers swirling around her like a violent storm.“Damn, I couldn’t kill her,” I whispered in terror. How could I stand agains

It’s a brief respite after killing some of Mia’s soldiers, and I can see the shock in her eyes at my actions. Panting heavily, I feel a contraction in my belly, forcing me to take deep breaths and endure the pain. The child in my womb seems disturbed by my excessive use of power, which is undeniably draining.In the distance, I hear groans, grunts, and cries of battle. A feeling of unease washes over me as my skin crawls. Struggling to stand with the support of the tree bark, I glance around, trying not to stumble. Suddenly, I hear the snap of a twig behind me. Turning, I seeMia already directing her magic at me.Before I can react, I realize the magic is about to strike. In a blink, a figure’s hands grip my waist, pulling me out of the way. The magic hits the tree trunk and explodes, the impact blinding me momentarily. A low groa

  • Their Human Mate Stella   Seeking Forgiveness

    Damon -POVI fought through the dense fog, my soldiers struggling against the relentless enemy. The Night Pack's resilience was unnerving; killing them was futile as they kept reviving. Our numbers dwindled, and poison coursed through my soldiers' veins, incapacitating us. The fog contained a slow-acting toxin that prevented us from shifting back to our lycan forms, forcing us into close combat."How am I going to get us out of this?" I muttered, dodging attacks as they came. Kellan, who had been missing, was still nowhere to be found. I grimaced as a punch landed out of nowhere, pain radiating through my body."You missed me, brother," Kellan's smug voice echoed as I stood, his smirk taunting me."Where have you been hiding, like a coward?" I spat blood, glaring at him. His smirk never wavered."Watching you suffer. Enjoying it," he chuckled. Kellan, my brother, once warm and understanding, now radiated hatred. Unlike me, he never sought power or titles, yet here he stood, consumed b

    STELLA – POVFeeling exhausted, I glanced around and noticed the red paint splattered on the floor. Corpses of guards were strewn about, and the metallic scent in the air made my stomach churn. I walked further into the penthouse, but there was no sign of Mia. Frustration welled up inside me—I had planned to confront her, but she wasn't even here. I should have known she wouldn’t stay idle.As I walked back to the living room, the eerie energy returned. I took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and concentrated on my palm, visualizing the fire glow as Hilda had taught me to harness my power. A silhouette appeared. I aimed my magic at it and took cover. When I peeked, I realized it was Julie, Dexter, and Eric—who was now writhing in pain from my attack.“Oh God, what happened here?” Julie frowned and grimaced.“Who attacked Eric with magic?” Dexter looked around, confused, as the guards and soldiers took cautious steps.“Guys, I’m here,” I said, revealing myself. “I’m sorry, I didn’t see y
