All Chapters of The Alpha's Human Mate: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Chapter 1Ivy's POV“Miss Carter! open the damn door, i don’t have all day!”I groaned and dragged myself out of bed, still in the oversized t-shirt that had belonged to my aunt. the fabric smelled faintly of her laundry soap, though it had been washed a hundred times since she passed. My feet hit the linoleum, cold and cracked, and I winced at the shock.“I'm coming,” I muttered, though Jenkins never listened.His fist hammered again. “rent’s overdue! you’ve got two days, ivy. two! or you’re out!”I undid the chain and opened the door a crack. the hallway smelled of cigarettes and mildew, and there he was: Jenkins, in his yellowed undershirt, his belly straining against it, gray hair wild like a bird’s nest. His eyes narrowed as soon as he saw me, sharp and judgmental.“I just need a little more time,” I said, voice small. “I will have the money.”He snorted. “That's what you said last month. and the one before. You think I'm running a charity? pay up or pack up.”he jabbed his finge

Chapter 3Damian’s POV“Mr. Blackthorn, how do you feel standing here as the youngest billionaire CEO to win this award tonight?”The reporter’s question came fast, sharp, like a blade meant to cut right through me. Flashbulbs popped across the stage, bright enough to blind a weaker man. But I kept my face calm, my shoulders straight, my posture unshaken.I leaned closer to the microphone. My voice was deep, smooth, controlled. “I don’t feel, I achieve. Wealth is not about emotions, it's about power. And power belongs to those willing to take it.”The hall fell silent for a beat. Then the applause came. It was loud, thunderous, waves crashing against me. Cameras clicked, people cheered, and I stood still, cold and steady, as though I had only confirmed what they already knew, Damian Blackthorn was untouchable.They placed the award in my hands, a crystal plaque, heavy and shining. I raised it once, not in joy but in dominance. The light bounced off it, scattering across the hall, and

Chapter 5Damian's POV“Humans never fail to surprise me,” Jason muttered beside me as we walked into the brightly lit hall. His voice was filled with mockery as his sharp eyes scanned the crowd. “They dress themselves like kings and queens just for a single night, pretending life is perfect.”I gave him a side glance. “You shouldn’t speak like that, not all humans are the same.”Jason raised an eyebrow. “You’ve gone soft, Damian. They drink, laugh too loud, and spend more than they can afford. They forget the world outside this golden hall is filled with people starving.”I said nothing, he wasn’t wrong, but something in me hated how bitter he sounded. The gala was alive with chatter, music spilling from the grand piano, chandeliers glimmering over polished heads. Women in long gowns drifted across the marble floor, their perfume heavy in the air.I adjusted my tie, my chest tightening. The moment I stepped inside, a strange tension gripped me. My wolf stirred restlessly within, his

CHAPTER 7:Lucien's POVI stayed in the shadows at the edge of the ballroom and watched everything as it went on within the room. The chandeliers threw light across the floor, but none of it reached me from where I stood in the shadows, and I liked it that way. I could see them, but they couldn’t see me.My eyes were fixed on Damian in particular. He walked through the crowd with Jason at his side, looking like the perfect gentleman, but I knew him better, and I knew the beast hiding under the business three-piece suit.Then I saw what caught him, A girl! She moved between tables with a tray, quiet and almost invisible to everyone else. Her beautiful hair was pulled back neatly, and she kept her eyes down, but I saw the way Damian’s head turned everywhere she went, and I could feel the shift in the air even from here.“Well, well,” I whispered. “You found something, didn’t you?”I kept to the downwind. I wasn’t about to let him smell me. A wolf like him could pick up a scent in a seco

CHAPTER 9: Ivy's POVI spun around quickly, thinking Maya was trying to mess with me, but then my breath caught in my throat.Damian Blackthorn stood at the door of the hallway.For a moment, I forgot how to breathe. He looked taller than I remembered from the gala, and his dark hair was smooth while his face was sharp and serious. He wore a perfect three-piece suit, and somehow it fit him like it was made just for him. His eyes were fixed on me, and I felt a strange pull deep inside me.Beside him stood a man holding a slim black briefcase. The man looked calm but strict, like someone who didn’t smile much.Damian started walking into the hallway, and his steps were slow but sure, and people moved aside without him saying a word.Girls near the lockers gasped and started whispering to each other. A few giggled and fixed their hair. One girl even smoothed down her skirt and leaned toward him as if she could get his attention that way.I groaned under my breath and tugged on Maya’s sl
