Alle Kapitel von Their Human Mate: Kapitel 11 – Kapitel 20

NICHOLASYes! I finally said it. Shock? Well, of course, she's shocked. But I can't blame her!Who wouldn't be shocked when they hear that someone plans to kill them?"Fool... Such a fool... Why did you say that to our mate?" says the voice inside me, but I just smirk. Feeling that I'm doing the right thing for once.After all, mate or not, from the start I should have never gotten involved with Alexa Nicky. The incidents starting from the soup, the train, the bush – all that happened because I still had my human side, and it was only a matter of time until I lost it and became a monster. And all of that was proven by how I lost control and almost sucked her dry."Well, since I've already told her the truth, I should leave now. I expect her to keep her distance too…" I think before turning around and leaving. I don't know why my chest feels a pang at the thought of never seeing her again, but I brush it off, telling myself to move on.I even replay the scene in my head about how I al

ALEXAI stared at him, clearly shocked because I didn't expect him to help. Happy? Well, of course, I'm happy! I don't even know why my heart always beats fast when I'm standing next to Nicholas, and I don't understand why everything feels so right with him, whereas with Jacob everything feels wrong. But naughty? Well, about that part I’m definitely not happy.Does he think I'm a naughty woman like my mother, who goes after every guy?"Anyway, class is about to start, why don't we—" "Why are you so sure I was staring at you?""What?"I take a deep breath. I know I'll regret my words after this, but I have to say it. My pride is too big and is currently at stake."How can you be so sure I was staring at you? I could have just been daydreaming." "Well, I just—""Listen, Nicholas," I interrupt sharply. My eyes meet his, more intensely than I intended. "Just think whatever you want but one thing that is clear is: I am never interested in you. NEVER.”"I'd rather stare at Jacob because hi

NICHOLASCute. That’s what I tell myself when I see the panicked look on her face as I go to sit next to her. Excited? Well, yes, I am.It’s been a while since this dead but alive body has felt this curious, and I’m afraid my body will break if I get too excited.‘She doesn't seem dangerous because she has some social awareness. It won’t hurt for a little socializing.’I slightly thanked her stupid friend for letting me sit down because Alexa looked bewildered when she heard my question, and I’m very glad she told me to sit next to Alexa.As I sit beside her and listen to their conversation, I notice she’s the silent type with friends. Well, like my hypothesis before, I sat next to her: She has social awareness, but I never thought she was this socially aware.‘Kinda reminds you of your old, alive self, huh? Didn’t you also have a lot of trouble socializing with your peers? Maybe that’s why you feel a connection with her!’ I rolled my eyes when that voice returned. Similar to her? Wel

ALEXAI stop when I see the infirmary door open roughly.There in front of me stood a woman in her thirties wearing a shirt with dumpling motifs, but that wasn't the only thing that stunned me. She wore very thick glasses, and despite having very thin eyebrows, I could tell she was scowling angrily!‘Is she Nicholas’s caretaker or something?’ I think, studying her unique appearance.I feel uncomfortable as this bespectacled woman stares at me even more sharply, and realizing we probably won’t meet again as I don’t know or need her, I lower my head and go.However, she doesn’t accept that and grips my arm tightly. I gasp when feeling how strong this thin woman’s grip is, even though she’s quite slender."Hey! Are you ignoring me?! I asked why he's like this, and what did you do to him??" "Well, I—""Sis…"We both turn as a weak, deep voice calls her. It’s Nicholas."Nicholas…" As the woman is distracted by him, I use that opportunity to break free from her grip and stride away.I ignor

ALEXAAfter some time, I’m not sure how, but somehow we end up in the heart of Forks—the town's pride forest that is constantly winning awards and serving as the backdrop for countless film shoots.‘In Mom’s favorite movie, the forest shouldn’t be this deep. But why are we going deeper?’The deeper we go, the more terrified I become. As much as I love gothic, dark things, and Halloween, I’m actually terrified of scary atmospheres.The darkness, the forest in the middle of the night, and these unclear animal sounds make me crazy, and I don't fucking know why Nicholas can walk deeper without fear of a Valak or anything jumping out in front of him.Finally, because I can’t stand it, I decide to move closer to Nicholas and tightly hug his arm.‘Just screw it if this is cringy or I look cheap. I’m too scared. If he has a heart, he definitely won't let go of me,’ I think, even burying my head into Nicholas’s arm. I always do that to block my view from scary things, and I’m ready to ‘attack’
