Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Alpha's Dead Mate: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

Chapter 1Sabrina’s POV“Sabrina…?” Donna drawled, in a tone that tells me she was two seconds away from losing her shit on me completely. “I run a business, you know that? Not a charity.”“I’m sorry, Donna,” I apologized, squeezing myself through the back entrance into the kitchen, as Donna was also standing by the door with her arms folded together. “Eli developed a fever in the early hours of the morning,” I explained, tying my apron.Donna sighed, her face moving from controlled fury to worry. “How’s he now?”“Much better, sent him to school,” I said, trying my best not to cry. God knows all I wanted to do was stay in bed with him all day, but I couldn’t afford that. At least not today of all days, the extra bonus was going to help me alot–rent was due next week Friday, Eli’s football practice bill has been sitting on my kitchen counter for days now, and the persistent stream beneath my kitchen sink that I’d been managing with a bucket for almost a month. Calling a plumber for som

Chapter 3Zenith’s POVI stared at the piece of drawing in my hand, a thousand thoughts running through my mind all at once.‘Mama and Eli’ I said the words in a whisper, my mind refusing to accept the reality staring back at me. But one look at Sabrina told me all I needed to know.The kid was hers.“It could be ours,” Alder said excitedly. “Don’t!” I warned. “Have you forgotten what she did to us–?”“She could have her reasons, lets just hear her out,” Alder cut in in her in defence, and I almost laughed out loud. Not just because of the fact that he was saying something so stupid, but because I was trying to reason with a wolf who just found his assumed to be dead mate. Of course all forms of reasoning would be out the window.But not today. I’ll be doing all the reasoning, since I’m the only rational one here.I turned my attention back to Sabrina, but it only lasted for half a second, because my lovestricken wolf wouldn’t stop filling my head with the thoughts of how it felt to

Chapter 5Zenith’s POV“Mommy, is this the old friend from your dreams?” Sabrina’s son asked, and we instinctively glanced at each other briefly.“Mommy, would explain later baby,” Sabrina said, pulling Eli down. “You need to sit down, it's not safe to stand in a moving car.”Sabrina fished out a tab, and a headset, and handed it over to Eli to keep him busy, but the unanswered question still hung in the air, alongside a fact–there’s a man Sabrina always dreams about, so much that she even told her kid about it.I'd bet all the money I'm the world it's the bastard she cheated on me with–its been years and thoughts of him still invades her thoughts, so much that she even dreams about him.Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic.My gaze drifted to Sabrina once again through the rearview mirror, but she was intentionally avoiding gaze. I can't believe this was the same woman I fell in love with back in high school.Has she always been like this, or was I so blinded by my love for her that I didn'

CHAPTER 7SABRINA'S POV"Whatever happens, Zenith, don't ever take it off him," I warned, tightening my hold around his wrist until his attention finally moved away from the necklace and settled on me.Zenith stared at my hand before slowly lifting his eyes to my face, and I released him immediately. I knew how my reaction looked, and judging by the suspicion already settling into his expression, I had probably made things worse, but I couldn't bring myself to care. He could ask a thousand questions. As long as the necklace stayed where it was, I'd deal with the rest later."What exactly is so special about the necklace?" Zenith asked, glancing at the thin chain again, and I immediately pulled Eli closer to my chest."It's a necklace, Zenith. My son is unconscious, and this is seriously what you want to talk about right now?""I touched it and it burned me. Normal necklaces don't do that.""Then don't touch it again," I snapped. "Now give me my son."For a moment, I thought he was goi

CHAPTER 9ZENITH'S POVNeither of us spoke.The silence stretched long enough that I could hear the hum of the machine beside Eli's bed, the faint drip from somewhere down the hallway, the sound of my own breathing. Sabrina's words still hung in the room like something neither of us wanted to touch.Then Eli mumbled some words to himself.Sabrina moved before I even registered what had happened, her hand brushing his hair back from his forehead. "Eli? Baby, can you hear me?"His eyes fluttered open, unfocused at first, then slowly finding her face. "Mommy?""I'm here.""I don't like hospitals," he mumbled, his voice thick with sleep.A weak laugh escaped her. "I know, sweetheart.""Are we still going on vacation?"Sabrina's smile faltered for half a second before she forced it back into place. "Of course we are.""Promise?""I promise."I stayed where I was, watching them without a word. There was something about the way she spoke to him, patient even though exhaustion had carved itse
