All Chapters of My Possessive Alpha; His Reluctant Mate: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Henry's POV.- After she left, I couldn’t help the blinding rage swirling inside my being and driving me mad. So mad that I dash after her intending to show her who she belongs to and remind her she’s none other than mine. I trace her into the kitchen with a force so strong that when I see her, a part of me literally just gives away into her compelling scent. But I shake it off. No! I must resist this. Yumi’s face drains immediately she lifts her head and meet gazes with me. I see the traces of fear filtering into her beautiful orbs and resist the urge to just pick her up and smash my lips down on her plum-parted ones. Spilling with so many mixed emotions, I grip the edge of the counter, making her yelp at the force I exert. “Why do you do this to me? Why am I regarded in the hostile way you treat me and not anyone else?” I try to sound calm, but I can’t help it. I just can’t bear her attitude towards me anymore. She fidgets frantically about her seat and sweat covers her face in

Yumi's POV.- “Yumi! Hurry or we’ll leave you behind,” Zainab hollers once more as I run towards the car with my disarrayed books in my arms. These girls just suddenly came up with the idea to go to the mall. I jump into the backseat with a sigh and Zainab giggles at me. “What’s with going shopping all of a sudden? Didn’t we just go on one yesterday?” I ask with my breath still all about the place as I try to arrange my books into my bag properly. Zainab giggles and says, “Yeah…we did, huh. But this time is a little different. You know Sydney’s birthday party is this Saturday and we were…invited?” “So, that’s why we’re going there…to buy what to wear, huh,” I scoff, dropping my bag beside me and checking the time on my phone. “It’s not so bad. I know you both don’t really get along and neither do we, but…she looked like she wanted us to attend badly,” Zana speaks from the driver’s seat and I hiss, throwing my face away with arms folding. “Everyone wants to get close to me becaus

Yumi's POV- “There’s no excuse for that behavior. I mean, for God’s sake it could’ve gotten worse and Nate would-” I groan, very pissed as I massage my temples to calm my flaring nerves. Henry overstepped his boundaries last night. Like, what the hell is his problem? He just shows up out of nowhere and starts beating my friend up. What sane person does that? “Yumi…don’t act like you don’t know about mate bonds and all. And let’s not add the exceptional characteristics when it’s about an Alpha. You do know how exaggerated things are with them,” Zana says in her persuasive voice and I fold my arms stubbornly over my chest as I look away. “Don’t act stubborn. You’re the one with no excuse here. You do come from a Wolf Pack yourself. You can understand,” Zainab adds. “I don’t wanna understand. You’re only saying this because he’s your Alpha and you’re his biggest fan.” I point out at the two and they roll their eyes. “Ugh, Yumi. Are you saying that? We’ve always been on your side n

Henry's POV.- “Can I ask you something? It might be personal and I don’t wanna make you uneasy and intrude into your privacy…” Tension forces the skin on my forehead to crumple and my hands stiffen as I try to compose myself and ask the one question that’s been bugging me since I came across it. ‘It’s okay. I’ll see if I can.’ Her tentative reply sounds through and I ease my nerves to ask calmly despite totally despising this. “Nyx. What was he to you?” The words vacate my lips with distaste and I catch onto the tremor in her voice. She must be fidgeting right now. It’s totally unexpected after all. ‘We…he was my boyfriend. That was two years ago…’ She starts in a meek voice, and I’m picturing her with a shy face right now. Damn, cutie. But the info, despite not being new to me, has my face darkening in riling anger. No matter how hard I try to make it clear to myself, it strikes hard against my pride that some other wolf has laid his hands on my mate. I’m more guilty than I try

Yumi's POV.- How could he say that to me? Henry makes it seem as if I have no choice at all. I should have a say, an opinion over the man I’ll want to spend the rest of my life with. He can’t just shun me like that and dominate his opinions over mine. Being a human doesn’t mean I’m weak. And I’ll show him that. I’ll keep showing him I won’t be bossed around and commanded. He will be the one to come begging and not the other way around. But, sometimes, I’m all talk. Henry’s been on my tail lately and he means business this time. I missed his canines by a hair’s length two days ago. Now I’m always on high alert for him. He’s just so good at stealth that it makes me sick and on my toes. Henry’s just so persistent! And it’s always occurring in public. Good thing I’m hardly left alone with him. He always has this innate, starving look in his eyes each time he sees me and he gets so overconfident and domineering in the presence of other werewolves. Especially the male ones. Yes, it help
