All Chapters of Their Human Mate Stella: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Stella–POVThe trip could have been more comfortable. It was Damon that made me feel out of my character and feel my heart flutter around him. Thank god June said nothing, seeing Damon and me standing close. Still, she asked me to be extra careful around Alpha Kayden. I looked out of the moving car as Damon drove out of the pack territory; the guards bowing their heads in respect to Damon as the car moved from the Pack to the human route."Well, is June some kind of princess?" I asked. Damon looked at me, confused. "I mean, is she also an Alpha, or does she come from a royal background?" I elaborated."Well, Lycans only have one Alpha. To put it simply for you: June was selected to become the Omega of the Pack, but then I realized she is my mate," Damon explained."Typical wolf story," I sighed. Damon raised his eyebrows at my remark, and I felt embarrassed to have voiced my thoughts out loud."So, June is eighteen, and you are thirty years old?" I asked."No, June is twenty years old

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 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

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

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.
