All Chapters of Their Human Mate Stella: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Stella–POVI awoke with fatigue, checking the time to find it was afternoon already. Sighing, I realized I had a doctor's appointment in an hour. Rushing through my routine, I brushed my teeth, catching a glimpse of the dark circles under my eyes in the mirror. Sleep had eluded me due to Kayden and Damon's ongoing dispute about Macoy's whereabouts. Despite their reluctance, I compelled them to collaborate for justice, turning them into an unwilling team. Under one roof, they resembled a bickering old couple, exhausting the atmosphere.Getting dressed, my eyes wandered to the drawer where I hid Damon's book. Recalling his scowl when he couldn't find his diary, I felt happiness and guilt. I yearned to read the book once I figured out how to unlock the magic in his journal. Tracing my finger over the leather-bound book, I closed the drawer as a knock echoed through my room. "Coming," I called out, and to my surprise, Damon stood in black slacks and a white formal shirt, one button down,

Stella–POVI tossed and turned; sleep eluded me. Frustrated, I sat up and made my way to retrieve the diary, hoping to find a way to unlock its secrets. I carefully pulled out the journal and, once again, attempted to open it using a hammer on the small lock. To my dismay, it remained stubbornly shut. Exhausted and defeated, I sank back, only to feel a hot trickle of blood from my nose— a telltale sign of stress. Scrambling to find a tissue box, I heard an unexpected click, and to my surprise, the lock popped open, triggered by a drop of blood.Eager to uncover the mysteries within, I opened the diary and found only a description of myself and my name. The rest of the pages were blank, leaving me perplexed. What baffled me even more was that the handwriting was an exact match to Kellan's. While identical twins might share similarities, having similar writing was an uncanny coincidence.Questions raced through my mind. Could Kellan be alive and pretending to be Damon? But why would he

Stella–POVI woke up with a dull headache, sitting on a bed. My hands were shackled. I tried to break free, but it was no use; the shackles were too strong, and my heartbeat quickened with panic. I couldn't recall anything except running and then someone knocked me out."You're awake, Stella," a voice startled me. My eyes darted to the door as it swung open. A strong, tall woman walked in. Despite her left cheek's small, burning scar, she looked regal and fabulous. Her presence was commanding."Who are you?" I asked, my voice trembling. "Where am I?" She sighed, as if expecting these questions from me."I am Alpha Vella of the Cursed Crescent Pack," she declared with an air of authority, her tone leaving no doubt about her leadership status."See, I don't understand what you want from me," I said, fear lacing my words. "I haven't done anything wrong. I'm pregnant; please, let me go," I begged, my eyes pleading for mercy."I know you're pregnant with a Lycan child," she said calmly, a

Damon–POV"I can detect Stella's scent," my wolf, Rider, announced."Make a U-turn," I directed Dexter."Why? We've already checked every cursed site in the Crescent pack's territory," June questioned. Kayden glanced at me, seeking an explanation."I've got a strong hunch about something," I explained."What's happening?" Kayden inquired, puzzled. June appeared to be struggling for air, her distress evident."Stop the vehicle," I commanded. At that moment, June's condition worsened, leading to faintness."Don't stop, Damon. Rush to find Stella, or we'll lose this trail. I've managed to track her because I'm tapping into a dark power. We can't delay; the risks of using such dark magic are too great. You're aware of the consequences," Rider pressed urgently."Kayden, could you escort June back to our pack?" I asked."Why should I?" Kayden protested. "She's your mate. It's your responsibility.""Kayden, this is not the time for arguments," I snapped, my frustration barely contained."Alp

Stella–POVI was relieved to hear that the baby in my womb is doing okay, and now I'm back in the Lycan Pack. Dexter has improved a lot; he regained consciousness two days ago and is now even able to walk. Julie was by his side, showing clear concern for him. Damon returned to the Pack, and Kayden came with him, displaying irritation on his face."What's happening?" I inquired as I followed them into the office."We managed to track down and imprison Alpha Vaner, but we couldn't capture Alpha Vella and June," Kayden explained.Damon chimed in, "I suspect Alpha Vella might be collaborating with the Night Angel group. She abandoned her Pack, and now Kayden is interrogating members of the cursed Crescent Pack. Moreover, the curse crescent pack witch and elders are dead, which suggests Alpha Vella's involvement, or perhaps it was your biological father, who has remained silent and refuses to speak.""Let me speak with him," I insisted."No," Kayden and Damon responded together, their voic
