No Second Chance, Dear X
Life in the Ember Pack seemed ordinary—until Annatoria, the Luna, was accused of infidelity by her husband, the Alpha.
Infidelity was the last thing Anna would ever consider, even in a failing marriage. Yet there she stood, publicly shamed and branded a whore. A cruel setup led to her rejection and banishment, leaving her broken and alone.
For three long years, Anna struggled to survive, enduring hardship after hardship. But with the help of Alpha Asher—a close friend who secretly harbored feelings for her—she rose from the ashes. Now, as a powerful Alpha in her own right, she’s the talk of the shifter world.
On the day she returns to the Ember Pack to reclaim her son, fate strikes once again. As she nears the pack gates, a deep, familiar growl sends shivers down her spine.
“You’re my mate.”
Her wolf stirred. “What is that scent?”
A mate?
How did the “banished” Annatoria gain the power to walk into the pack unchallenged? And who is the wolf claiming her as his?

Chapter: 37. His RegretChapter 37: His Regret. The familiar scent of blood and damp earth filled the air as they approached the scene. The search team stood in a tense semi-circle, their faces grim under the moonlight.The body lay partially covered by a thin layer of dirt and fallen leaves, as if someone had tried to hide it in a hurry.Axel forced himself to look at the body. It was a female's. Torn clothes. Deep gashes along the arms and neck. But the most disturbing detail was the missing eyes.A sick feeling settled in her chest.Axel exhaled sharply. "It’s not Jessica.”One of the scouts shook his head. " We don’t know who she is, Beta."Axel knelt beside the corpse for careful examination as his eyes trailed every single part of her body. “Pack it up," He muttered, leaving the scene for fresh air as his eyes became misty. He had his hopes high, expecting to at least, see her body but to his surprise, it wasn't even hers. “Round up and let's leave," He sighed. This wasn't the first time of buryi

Chapter: 36. Radolf!! Chapter Title: Radolf! The Moment That Almost Was intense….Asher’s wolf howled in his mind.“ Kiss her. I want her” For the first time in a long time, Asher didn’t fight it. He took a slow step forward, his pulse quickening as he neared her. Annatoria turned, her eyes meeting his, and for a split second, something unreadable flickered across her face.Was it longing? Uncertainty?His fingers twitched at his sides. He wanted to close the space between them, tilt her chin up, and-Boom! The doors flung open."Alpha Asher! Miss Annatoria!" Axel’s voice rang out, breathless, urgent. His eyes were wide, his usual composed demeanor shattered by whatever he had just seen but at that moment, he wasn't really concerned. .Annatoria stepped back instantly, the atmosphere between her and Asher snapping like a fragile thread.“What happened?” she asked, already on edge as she waited for his response..Axel swallowed hard. "The search team found a body. We’re heading there now.”The tension in

Chapter: 35. Haunting Past! Chapter 35: The Haunting Past. Annatoria's eyes glared in disbelief as she held the empty envelope. It was another letter from the Alpha King.Asher smiled again."It's an invitation. We'll surely attend it. It says the Annual Alphas' party was canceled because you didn’t show up, Alpha Annatoria," Asher explained."Oh! I don't have time for this," she sighed.She sat on her favorite couch, obviously tired, rubbing her temples."Why do they keep insisting?" she asked him."Because they can't ignore you even if you ignore them," Asher murmured."But I stopped being part of their world the moment I left Ember Wolves. Have you forgotten?" She let out a dry chuckle."Oh! But you hold power, remember?" Asher countered. "More than you think," he added.She exhaled sharply, tossing the envelope onto the table. "I have more important things to do—like building my own pack and getting my son back."Asher's smile faded slightly. "I understand that, but you can't avoid them forever. Sooner or l

Chapter: 34. Secrets From The Deep Chapter 33: Secrets from the deep. No one could pretend forever.A lie, no matter how well-crafted, would always crack under the weight of truth. Some took months, others years—but eventually, the mask would slip. It could not last longer than destined. The old bald wizard, wrapped in a thick black cloak, moved slowly toward the Ember Wolves' Pack. His beard, long and white, swayed slightly as the wind carried whispers of an ancient past. His journey had been long, his feet weary, but his purpose was unwavering….. delivering the message.He sought the Alpha, but for what? What message? As he reached the pack’s entrance, the guards stiffened. Their hands hovered over their weapons, eyes narrowed in suspicion as they scanned him. He carried no visible threat, yet something about him made their wolves restless.“I seek the Alpha—Alpha Radolf of this pack,” the man declared in a voice that cut through the air like steel.The guards exchanged glances. Was this an attack? A test? A chall

Chapter: 33. The Plot Twist. Chapter 33: Sparks Annatoria out of shock, took several steps away from him as he struggled to breath. He couldn't inhale, his airways were constricted. Asher walked towards him but, was stopped by Annatoria. But that was as if calling his name wasn't enough, he charged towards Manga. “He's one of us," She said sharply as soon as he raised his hand to thrust into his heart.His hand hung midway as he listened to Annatoria. “He's on the verge of death…. Please, let him go” Annatoria begged, moving close to Asher. Asher released him and in the twinkle of an eye, Manga took to his heels.He ran as fast as his legs could carry him, heavily panting. “Why can't he shift?" The question popped in Annatoria's head as she watched him run off. ________________________“My baby?" Nyx, the woman in the room kept repeating quietly as her palm rested gently on her belly. Hot sobs escaped her lips as she layed on the bed. How did she become pregnant? It was something such a person like her d

Chapter: 32.Manga's Desperate EscapeChapter 32: Manga's Desperate Escape. Annatoria rolled from one side of her bed to the other. She couldn't sleep and now, Chingu Moon was in her arms. “What do you want, little buddy?" She said softly fondled it's fur. It made the normal cute sounds every dog made and that seemed to annoy her. "Let's go to sleep then,” She said, patting it's back. "Prepare your army. He's coming” The dog finally said something just as it was about to sleep. She stiffened. What did it mean? Of course, it was no one different from Manga. She had a feeling that they were coming but, she didn't want to rush. She wanted to take her time to reason and think about it…..to avoid total defeat. When it was daybreak, she summoned a meeting with those she'd appointed as head of army, head of Weapons storage, head of war strategies, the five elders of the pack and Asher. “How many army does this pack have now?" She asked Alaric, the head of Army. He was a tall, and muscular young man with a face and hea
